Start the right treatment sooner

ASPYRE®-Lung provides answers in days not weeks

With more than 25 approved targeted therapies, there is renewed hope for patients with lung cancer. 


A prerequisite for prescribing targeted therapy is an analysis of your DNA to determine if you have a biomarker that would respond to such treatment. 


Unfortunately, biomarker testing with current technologies can take weeks following diagnosis to obtain test results, often leaving physicians with no choice but to start their patients on systemic, toxic chemotherapies. 


ASPYRE-Lung addresses this issue by providing comprehensive biomarker test results within days of diagnosis, providing your physician with the information needed to select the best treatment option that is right for you. 

Fast, comprehensive & useful biomarker information

Rapid time to treatment

ASPYRE-Lung is a new biomarker test that reduces the time required to obtain test results, accelerating the start of your therapy from weeks to days.

Cost effective

Existing biomarker tests are costly, often requiring prior authorization from insurance providers before starting therapy. The cost of ASPYRE-Lung is a fraction of the cost of current comprehensive tests. 

Treatment options

ASPYRE-Lung tests for all guideline recommended biomarkers that correlate with lung cancer targeted therapies, providing your physician optimal treatment selection opportunities.

Frequently asked questions

What can I learn from an ASPYRE-Lung test result?

ASPYRE-Lung is a molecular diagnostic test that identifies biomarkers within cancer cells to identify mutations which may provide potential options for you and your doctor to consider in your treatment:

  • Therapies you may be eligible for: We identify FDA-approved targeted therapies or immunotherapies that may help you based on the mutations and biomarkers found in your cancer. These therapies have been approved for non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).
  • Actionable information: ASPYRE-Lung has been thoughtfully designed exclusively for NSCLC patients. The good news is that there are now over 25 targeted therapies available for patients with lung cancer. The ASPYRE-Lung panel includes only those genes that have direct correlation with NSCLC targeted therapies. This simplifies and speeds up the treatment decision process.

How long will it take to receive my test result?

More good news! Test results from ASPYRE-Lung are completed in just two days from the time our lab receives your sample as compared to weeks for alternative molecular diagnostic tests. This will enable your physician to select the best treatment option very soon after diagnosis to avoid starting you on a less effective therapy while you wait for test results.

What types of samples can be sent in for the ASPYRE-Lung test?

FFPE Tissue samples can be sent in for the ASPYRE-Lung test.

When should I get an ASPYRE-Lung test if I have been diagnosed with lung cancer?

If you can get tested soon after your diagnosis of advanced cancer (Stage III or Stage IV), that can give you and your doctor a chance to follow a personalized treatment strategy right away. The testing can also be performed when your cancer has progressed or at a point when you and your doctor are looking to decide on your next treatment step. Your doctor will work with you to decide when testing may be appropriate for your cancer.

Does insurance cover my ASPYRE-Lung genomic test?

Biofidelity accepts all insurance plans; however, we are currently not considered an in-network provider with most insurance plans. If you are uninsured, or if you have insurance and cannot afford the out-of-pocket costs, you can apply for financial assistance, and payment plans may also be available.

What is the process for sending a sample to Biofidelity?

When your doctor orders an ASPYRE-Lung test, they can send your tissue sample directly to Biofidelity.

What are some reasons why I may not be able to get results after my sample is sent in?

After we receive your sample in our lab, we go through a series of detailed checks to make sure we can return results to your doctor. For tissue samples, we check that there is enough tumor material and tumor DNA in the sample. For all tests, we have additional quality checks before we can issue results.

If we are not able to get results, we will let your doctor know so that a different sample can be sent in. For a tissue test, this could be a different tissue sample. We are committed to working with you and your doctor to find the best chance for getting results to help guide your care.

Is there a charge if results cannot be obtained?

No. Charges only apply to tests from which a final report is produced.

Will I get a copy of my report?

A copy of the report can be shared with a patient if you request it by contacting our Customer Service Team at customerservice@biofidelity.com or by calling 1 (919)-659-3285.

How is my information used?

Your health information may be used and disclosed for treatment, payment, healthcare operations, and other purposes permitted or required by law. Biofidelity may also use your health information to create and use “de-identified” datasets and provide these datasets to biopharma partners, academic researchers, and other third parties to help identify new and better treatments and to advance our understanding of how cancer treatments work. De-identified datasets means that information that could be used to identify a specific individual is removed.

Your de-identified information may be aggregated with thousands of other patients’ de-identified information to generate insights essential to accelerating new discoveries in cancer treatment and ultimately enabling better patient care. However, Biofidelity respects the individual rights of its patients, including a right to opt out of disclosure of their de-identified information to third parties for future research purposes. Any de-identified information already included in a dataset created prior to your opt-out will not be impacted. If you would like to opt out, please contact customerservice@biofidelity.com.
