AmoyDx® Super-ARMS ESR1 PCR Kit
AmoyDx® Super-ARMS ESR1 PCR Kit is a highly sensitive real-time PCR assay for detecting ESR1 mutations from plasma cfDNA (liquid biopsy).
ESR1 mutations are a key mechanism of acquired resistance in hormone receptor-positive (HR+)/HER2-negative metastatic breast cancer, impacting patient prognosis and guiding treatment decisions for second-line endocrine therapy. With a detection sensitivity as low as 0.2% mutant allele frequency, this kit enables in-house laboratories to accurately identify 29 ESR1 mutations, helping clinicians monitor endocrine therapy resistance and optimize treatment strategies.

Clinical Utility
- Identify Resistance Mechanisms: ESR1 mutations are present in ~20–40% of HR+/HER2- metastatic breast cancer patients who progress on aromatase inhibitors. Detecting these mutations informs treatment adaptation to overcome endocrine resistance.
- Guide Treatment Selection: ESR1 mutation-positive patients benefit from targeted therapies such as elacestrant, which has been shown to significantly reduce disease progression risk compared to standard treatments.
- Improve Prognostic Assessment: Carrying ESR1 mutations is associated with distinct prognostic characteristics, providing important information for patient stratification and supporting personalized care decisions.

Although the AmoyDx® Super-ARMS ESR1 PCR Kit is for Research Use Only (RUO), the EMA approval for elacestrant (ORSERDU™) states that where a CE-IVD assay is not available, a validated assay may be used to guide treatment decisions.
