CARIS MOLECULAR INTELLIGENCE™ TUMOURPROFILING
How to order Caris Molecular Intelligence™ Services
1. Patient Information
If you consider tumour profiling for one of your patients, the patient information leaflet supports you in
discussing this option with your patient. You can hand out a more detailed patient brochure if your patient
wants to read more about tumour profiling.
When you and your patient have decided to request profiling, you can use the patient consent
(if required in your country) to obtain formal patient consent for your own patient files.

information helps you to discuss payment options with your patient.
A pathology report is required to perform profiling. Please fax or mail the report to Caris, or ask your
pathology department to do so.
Additional information about the patient history is not a mandatory requirement but helpful for providing
the individual MI profile report.

CARIS MOLECULAR INTELLIGENCE™ TUMOUR PROFILING
Patient Information: Tumour Profiling
Patient
information
What is the best choice for your next cancer treatment?
Tumour profiling can help identify appropriate treatment options when:
• your cancer is no longer responding to standard treatment options
• your cancer is particularly aggressive or rare or has limited treatment options for other reasons
• The changes in your tumour are specific to your individual disease. This is the reason why patients respond
differently to cancer treatments.
• Tumour profiling thoroughly examines your cancer and matches treatments to the changes which are
particular to your tumour.

Caris Molecular Intelligence creates a fingerprint of your tumour
Caris Molecular Intelligence can help to
• Avoid treatments which are less likely to work for you
• Find clinical trials which you may be suitable for
Please note:
CMI has been introduced to you by your physician as this may be an option in your specific situation.
Please be aware that:
• CMI is a new method and may not be covered by health insurances in your country. This could mean that you have to
pay for the service yourself or negotiate with your health insurance provider.
• Not all drugs that may be reported as potentially effective may be available or reimbursed in your country.
• CMI may help your physician to identify treatment options which have a higher likelihood to work against your cancer,
but there is no guarantee that the chosen treatment will work.

As part of your continued care and as previously discussed with you, I, Dr___________________________________________
of _____________________________________________________________________ have recommended that your tissue
specimens in the form of one or more whole paraffin blocks, 55 unbaked slides or fresh tissue obtained from biopsies or other
procedures performed at your healthcare facility, be transferred to Caris Life Sciences (“Caris”) in the United States to perform the
Caris Life Sciences® Molecular Intelligence™ evidence guided tumour profiling service.
Caris Life Sciences® Molecular Intelligence™ examines the genetic and molecular changes unique to a patient‘s tumour, so that
treatment options may be matched to your tumour‘s unique biology. Caris Molecular Intelligence™ provides valuable information on those drugs which may be more likely to produce a positive response and those which may be less likely to.

CARIS MOLECULAR INTELLIGENCE™ TUMOUR PROFILING
Dear Patient,
The cost of tumour profiling is not yet routinely covered by health insurances in all countries. Caris is in discussion with private
and public health insurances to obtain full coverage. Until then, it is necessary that an alternative mechanism of payment is
agreed with Caris before testing can commence.
Patient
information
Payment Information
The following payment options are available:
You, or a friend or relative, can pay Caris directly for the tumour profiling service. Caris will contact you and provide you with an
invoice as soon as we receive a completed Tumour Profiling Requisition Form from your physician. It is therefore necessary that
your doctor provides Caris with your contact details when filling in the requisition form.
Patient
consent
Self-pay
If you have supplementary or private health insurance, or if you have your healthcare costs covered by another institution such
as an embassy or employer, your doctor will need to provide this information on the requisition form, together with the respective contact details. Caris need to have a payment authorisation from the institution before testing can commence. This is usually
obtained by your physician.
Health Insurances without Pre-Profiling Payment-Authorisation
Caris currently has a special program for patients with health insurance companies who have not yet agreed to pay for our tumour profiling service regularly and thus may not yet provide payment authorsation prior to profiling. If your doctor agrees to
make a special request for coverage to your health insurance, both prior to and after tumour profiling, Caris will process the case
after a modest up front payment has been received.
• If the insurance company pays Caris directly, the initial up front payment will be refunded to you.
• If the insurance company pays you for the full costs of profiling directly, Caris will invoice you for the balance.
Requisition
form
Third Party Funding (Pre-Authorised Payment by Health Insurances, Embassies, Employers)
Pathology
information
Even if you have already paid for Caris Molecular Intelligence in full, it may be worth applying for coverage from your local health
insurance, especially if your doctor selects your next treatment from those indicated on the MI Profile report.
Payment
Information
All payment options will be communicated to you once Caris has received the completed Tumour Profiling Requisition Form
from your doctor.
Shipping
instructions
For this purpose, Caris needs your consent that your doctor can share your clinical history, your insurance details and the results
of the health insurance application with Caris, in addition to your contact information.
