Guardant Health Inc. has decided not to pursue a potential acquisition of rival medical testing company NeoGenomics, according to people familiar with the matter.

Guardant had hoped to use a tie up with NeoGenomics as a way to boost its reach into community cancer facilities, typically smaller, local clinics where most cancer patients are treated, the people added, asking not to be identified because the matter is private.
