An IOM committee will review the published literature to identify appropriate evaluation criteria for tests based on "omics" technologies (e.g. genomics, epigenomics, proteomics, metabolomics) that are used as predictors of clinical outcomes. The committee will recommend an evaluation process for determining when predictive tests based on omics technologies are fit for use as a basis for clinical trial design, including stratification of patients and response to therapy in clinical trials.

Technologies collectively called omics enable simultaneous measurement of an enormous number of biomolecules; for example, genomics investigates thousands of DNA sequences, and proteomics examines large numbers of proteins. Scientists are using these technologies to develop innovative tests to detec...
