      Background:
      Clinical practice guidelines recommend genetic testing for advanced non-small cell lung cancer (aNSCLC) to guide 1[st]-line treatment. Small biopsies and low-tumor-content samples pose challenges to testing and reporting on an increasing number of relevant biomarkers. This study compared clinical aNSCLC biomarker testing to investigational use of the Oncomine™ Dx Target Test for different sample types.

      Method:
      A retrospective analysis was conducted using lung tissue testing data from a large, US-based commercial laboratory that offered single-gene tests (EGFR therascreen, ALK Vysis, BRAF cobas, and laboratory developed tests [LDT] for ROS1, HER2, BRAF, KRAS, MET, RET, and FGFR1) and a 173-gene next-generation sequencing (NGS) LDT panel (Illumina NextSeq 500). Clinical test orders received September 2015 – October 2016 were evaluated. This laboratory also conducted investigational testing on the Oncomine™ Dx Target Test (Ion Torrent PGM Dx) using archival tissue. Testing success rates and slide consumption were evaluated for core needle biopsies (CNBs; overall and by tumor content), fine needle aspirations (FNAs), and surgical resections.

      Result:
      Clinical testing orders were received on 1,029 CNBs, 144 FNAs, and 181 surgical resections. Among CNBs, 934 had tumor content data: 214 were 1-24% tumor; 720 were ≥25% tumor. Altogether, 3,571 single-gene tests and 198 NGS LDT panels were ordered. The Oncomine™ Dx Target Test was conducted on 169 archival samples: 69 CNBs (41 were 1-24% tumor; 28 were ≥25% tumor); 13 FNAs; 87 surgical resections.

      * Excludes clinical samples on which the NGS LDT panel had been initiated. † Success rates were not evaluated if N<10. ‡ While all samples had tumor content >0%, exact percentages were missing for 94 CNBs, 28 FNAs, and 1 surgical resection. § Success rates not evaluated; nearly all NGS LDT panels were ordered on samples that also initiated single-gene tests, and tissue depletion prevented initiation of most of the ordered NGS LDT panels. ¶ All tests were conducted using 1 slide according to protocol.


      Conclusion:
      Among lung tissue samples submitted for clinical testing, 13.4% were surgical resections, 10.6% FNAs, and 76% CNBs. The Oncomine™ Dx Target Test had higher testing success rates using fewer slides than single-gene testing for ≥5 biomarkers on CNBs, ≥4 on FNAs, and ≥2 on surgical resections. These preliminary results suggest the Oncomine™ Dx Target Test may facilitate multiple-biomarker testing for more aNSCLC patients to support therapy decisions as more gene targets are identified.
