Our ambition is to push the boundaries of science to change the practice of medicine and transform the lives of cancer patients. We target the underlying biology of cancer in Immuno-Oncology, Tumor Drivers/Resistance, DNA Damage Response and Antibody Drug Conjugates. Utilizing precision medicine and biomarker-driven indications we look to dramatically improve five-year survival. Our focus on early disease stages and relapsed patients is to 1) identify and treat patients earlier with curative intent; and 2) support relapsed and refractory patients by tackling primary or acquired resistance.

Unlocking Insights to Help Find, Treat, and Monitor Cancer

Today our proprietary blood tests are helping to realize the full potential of precision oncology by providing patients and their doctors critical insights that can inform decisions at all stages of the disease, from screening, to monitoring cancer recurrence, to treatment decisions.
In advanced cancer, our Guardant Complete portfolio has helped to accelerate adoption of precision medicines, or targeted therapies, which have made a radical difference in improving outcomes for patients battling advanced cancer. The number of FDA-approved therapies grows each year, and our blood tests enable guideline recommended complete genomic testing in order to help match patients to these targeted therapies. Guardant 360 Response™ can also monitor a patient’s response to treatment, to help doctors refine treatment even further.

Targeting a better life for people with cancer is why we get up in the morning. It’s not enough to disrupt the progress of someone’s cancer; we want to keep cancer from disrupting someone’s life. That’s why everything we do is about developing the most precise, targeted cancer therapies. We believe this is the best way to get people back to their lives – back to living today, tomorrow, and beyond. For us, targeting a better now is the only thing that matters.
