      Background:
      Next-generation sequencing (NGS) enables a comprehensive genomic analysis of lung cancer patients. It has uncovered many novel genetic abnormalities and identified actionable genomic alterations in lung tumors that previously tested “negative” by conventional non-NGS tests. In this study, we evaluated the clinical impact of NGS on overall survival of advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients.

      Methods:
      In this retrospective study, 234 consecutive stage IIIb/IV NSCLC patients who performed hybrid capturing NGS were enrolled in Israel, between 2011–2017. Hybrid capture-based NGS was performed by Foundation Medicine and Guardant 360[TM] if tissue was not available.

      Results:
      234 consecutive NSCLC patients were included in this study. 62% (145/234) performed tissue NGS and 38% (89/234) performed liquid NGS. Median age at diagnosis was 63 years. 84% had adenocarcinoma. 37% were never-smokers. The patients were divided into 4 groups according to the identification of NCCN-approved actionable genomic alterations on NGS analysis: Group A did not have an actionable target; Group B discovered an actionable target but did not receive targeted treatment, due to high performance status or preference to use immunotherapy for PD-L1 positive patients; Group C received targeted therapy subsequent to NGS analysis, among them 75 received treatment according to NCCN guidelines, 9 off-protocol and 7 received immunotherapy due to high tumor mutation burden found on NGS analysis; Group D received targeted therapy due to standard molecular tests, as PCR, IHC and FISH performed prior to NGS. Median Overall survival (OS) is summarized in the Table (p = 0.0278).Table: (Abstract 145P)Overall Survival

      Conclusions:
      This study evaluates the clinical impact of comprehensive NGS testing by demonstrating the survival advantage of patients with actionable targets discovered through NGS. Comprehensive tissue and liquid-based NGS have revealed targeted treatment options for a significant number of patients. Overall Survival of patients treated with tailored therapy subsequent to NGS analysis was positively impacted in comparison to patients without an actionable target, only exceeded by patients who received targeted treatment subsequent to upfront standard molecular tests.
