The assay functions as a diagnostic tool to identify PD-L1 levels in patients considering treatment with Roche’s cancer drug Tecentriq. PD-L1 is a protein that makes individuals more receptive to immunotherapy treatments.

Better insight into a patient’s PD-L1 levels can indicate the potential survival benefits associated with using Tecentriq as a treatment.
