What this company does

We are a leading precision oncology company focused on guarding wellness and giving every person more time free from cancer. We are transforming patient care by providing critical insights into what drives disease through our advanced blood and tissue tests, real-world data and AI analytics. Our tests help improve outcomes across all stages of care, including screening to find cancer early, monitoring for recurrence in early-stage cancer, and treatment selection for patients with advanced cancer. For patients with advanced-stage cancer, we offer the Guardant360 Liquid test, formerly known as the Guardant360 LDT test, and the Guardant360 CDx test, the first comprehensive liquid biopsy test approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, or the FDA, to provide tumor mutation profiling with solid tumors and to be used as a companion diagnostic in connection with non-small cell lung cancer, or NSCLC, colorectal cancer and breast cancer. We also offer the Guardant360 Tissue test for advanced-stage cancer and the Guardant Reveal test to detect residual and recurring disease in early-stage colorectal, breast and lung cancer patients. We have also expanded the Guardant Reveal test to include late-stage therapy response monitoring for patients with solid tumors. Our product portfolio is now powered by our Smart Platform, which utilizes methylation technology with genomic, epigenomic, and RNA-based data, to unlock multi-modal biology with proprietary chemistry, advanced algorithms and our InfinityAI learning engine.

We also collaborate with biopharmaceutical companies in clinical studies by providing the above-mentioned tests, as well as the GuardantINFINITY blood test, also powered by our Smart Platform, which provides new, multi-dimensional insights into the complexities of tumor molecular profiles and immune response to advance cancer research and therapy development, and the GuardantOMNI blood test for advanced-stage cancer. Using data collected from our tests and through AI-enabled analytical tools, we have also developed our GuardantINFORM platform to help biopharmaceutical companies accelerate precision oncology drug development through the use of this in-silico research platform to unlock further insights into tumor evolution and treatment resistance across various biomarker-driven cancers.

For early cancer detection, we offer the Shield blood test for colorectal cancer screening in adults age 45 and older who are at average risk for the disease. Shield is the first blood test approved by the FDA for primary colorectal cancer screening and also the first blood test for colorectal cancer screening that meets coverage requirements by Medicare. In addition, our Shield blood test is included in the National Comprehensive Cancer Network colorectal cancer screening guidelines. We also expect to expand into lung cancer screening and multi-cancer detection, or MCD, with our Shield platform. The FDA has granted Breakthrough Device designation to our Shield MCD test to provide patients and healthcare providers with timely access to medical devices by speeding up their development, assessment and review. In addition, we have expanded our Shield blood test to include an MCD results report with a data collection effort to better understand the clinical impact of MCD results.

Our objective is to be the leading provider of therapy selection, minimal residual disease detection, and early cancer screening products for cancer management across all stages of the disease and drive commercial adoption of our products. To achieve this, we intend to:
