1 KREATECH DIAGNOSTICS LUNG CANCER PROBES REPEAT-FREE POSEIDON FISH PROBES FOR DIAGNOSIS IN LUNG CANCER

2 molecular PROFILING OF LUNG CANCER Lung Cancer remains the leading cause of cancer related deaths worldwide. Annually about 1.6 million new cases are diagnosed and prognoses are poor. Genetic Aberrations In non-small cell lung cancer Lung tumors can be divided into two main subtypes based on histological appearance: non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC, ± 80%) and small cell lung cancer (SCLC, ± 20%). NSCLC can be divided in Adenocarcinoma (± 60% of NSCLC). Large Cell Carcinoma (± 20% of NSCLC). Squamous Cell Carcinoma (SCC) (± 20% of NSCLC). AKT1, 1% PTEN, 4% PIK3CA,1% NRAS, 1% BRAF, 2% MEK1, 1% DDR2, 4% To be characterized, 41% HER2, 3% KRAS, 15% ALK, 5% ROS1, 2% MET, 2% RET, 1% FGFR1, 4% EGFR1, 13% Over the past decade, it has become evident that subsets of NSCLC can be further defined at the molecular level by recurrent 'driver' aberrations in multiple oncogenes, including EGFR, KRAS, ALK, MET, RET, ROS1, and FGFR1 (see figure to the right). Frequency of genetic aberrations found in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Mutations are shown in purple, blue and green and amplifications and rearrangements in shades of orange.

With the approval of novel cancer drugs like crizotinib (XALKORI ) and the establishment and continuous development of testing strategies as depicted in the figure to the left, there is a growing demand for (molecular) diagnostic tests for NSCLC. KREATECH has developed a range of REPEAT-FREE POSEIDON FISH probes that are optimized for the use on non-small cell lung cancer tissue. You can find information on these probes in this brochure. For additional information on these probes or any of our other products you can also visit or scan the QR code below.

3 ALK GENE REARRANGEmENTS IN NON-SmALL CELL LUNG CANCER ALK FACTS [Ŧ] ALK (anaplastic lymphoma kinase) gene rearrangements are observed in 3 7% of NSCLC cases. The majority ALK rearrangements found in NSCLC are fusions of 5 of portions of the echinoderm microtubuleassociated protein-like 4 (EML4) gene with 3 portions of the ALK gene. At least nine different EML4-ALK fusion variants have been identified in NSCLC. In the vast majority of cases, ALK rearrangements are non-overlapping with other oncogenic mutations found in NSCLC (e.g. EGFR mutations, KRAS mutations, etc.). EML4-ALK fusions are associated with EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) resistance. Promising results have been obtained with specific ALK inhibitors such as crizotinib. FDA approved crizotinib in August In October 2012 it was approved in the European Union. REPEAT-FREE POSEIDON ALK FISH PROBES ALK (2p23) Break. Cat. # KBI Dual color break assay.

4 ROS1 GENE REARRANGEmENTS IN NON-SmALL CELL LUNG CANCER ROS1 FACTS [Ŧ] ROS1 (c-ros oncogene 1, receptor tyrosine kinase) gene rearrangements represent 1-2% of aberrations in NSCLC. ROS1 gene rearrangements define a unique molecular subset of NSCLC. These are mainly non-overlapping with other oncogenic aberrations (e.g. EGFR mutations, KRAS mutations, ALK rearrangements, etc.). Different ROS1 rearrangements have been described in NSCLC including SLC34A2-ROS1, CD74-ROS1, EZR-ROS1, TPM3- ROS1, SDC4-ROS1 and GOPC-ROS1. The GOPC-ROS1 fusion is characterized by deletion of a 240 kb DNA fragment on chromosome 6q distal of ROS1 exon 42 and has been identified in NSCLC. Case studies describe patients with advanced NSCLC harboring ROS1 rearrangements with partial responses to crizotinib (XALKORI ) treatment. REPEAT-FREE POSEIDON ROS1 FISH PROBE ROS1 (6q22) Break. CAT# KBI Captures all ROS1 rearrangements. Detection of GOPC-ROS1 fusion by deletion. Distal (5 ) ROS1 (6q22) region probe is direct-labeled with PlatinumBright 550 (red).

5 met AmPLIFICATION AND RET REARRANGEmENTS IN NON-SmALL CELL LUNG CANCER met FACTS [Ŧ] In NSCLC, multiple mechanisms of MET activation have been reported, including gene amplification and mutation. MET amplification is found in 2-4% in previously untreated NSCLC patients. Patients harboring activating EGFR mutations can acquire resistance to EGFR TKI therapy. MET amplification is found in 5-20% of these cases. A case has been reported of a NSCLC patient with a MET amplification that responded to crizotinib. RET FACTS [Ŧ] RET gene rearrangement represents 1-2% of aberrations in NSCLC, and can include KIF5B-RET or CCDC6-RET fusions. RET gene rearrangements define a unique molecular subset of NSCLC. These are mainly non-overlapping with other oncogenic aberrations (e.g. ALK- and ROS1 rearrangements, etc.). Recent clinical studies showed inhibition of RET with multiple kinase inhibitors in RET overexpressing cells. Evaluation of RET gene rearrangements could be applicable in clinical practice to detect NSCLC patients that may respond to RET inhibitors like vandetanib, sunitinib or sorafenib. REPEAT-FREE POSEIDON met AND RET FISH PROBES met (7q31) / SE 7 Amplifi cation. CAT# KBI Dual color assay to detect amplification of the MET (7q31) gene region.

6 FGFR1 GENE AmPLIFICATION IN NON-SmALL CELL LUNG CANCER FGFR1 FACTS [Ŧ] Amplification of the fibroblast growth factor receptor type 1 gene (FGFR1) has been observed in numerous cancer types including Squamous Cell Carcinoma (SCC) of the lung. FGFR1 amplifications represent ±4% of aberrations found in NSCLC and represent around 17% of aberrations in SCC of the lung. With the development of new therapeutic strategies, FGFR1 amplification could act as a valuable biomarker for R&D and provide an attractive tool for clinical stratification. REPEAT-FREE POSEIDON FGFR1 FISH PROBE FGFR1 (8p11) / SE 8 Amplifi cation. CAT# KBI Dual color assay to detect amplification of the FGFR1 (8p11) gene region. The REPEAT-FREE POSEIDON FGFR1 (8p11) has been validated on a cohort of 100 NSCLC samples [1]. FGFR1 (8p11) gene region probe direct-labeled with PlatinumBright 550 (red).
