P2.03-03 - Upfront Next Generation Sequencing in NSCLC: A Publicly Funded Perspective (ID 11826)
16:45 - 18:00 | Author(s): Prodipto Pal
- Abstract
Background
A growing number of targeted drug treatments in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) have led to the need for molecular profiling beyond the standard of care (SOC) EGFR/ALK. Here we present actionable targets, impact on patient treatment, clinical trial opportunities and costs using the Illumina TruSight Tumor 15 panel (TST15) for NSCLC samples.
a9ded1e5ce5d75814730bb4caaf49419 Method
Tissue-based next generation sequencing using the TST15 was reflexively performed on all newly diagnosed cases of non-squamous NSCLC at the University Health Network (Toronto, Canada) from February 2017-February 2018. The panel identifies hot spot mutations in KRAS, EGFR, TP53, PIK3CA, BRAF, ERBB2, FOXL2, GNA11, GNAQ, KIT, NRAS, PDGFRA, RET, AKT1 and MET, but not fusions, copy number variations (CNV) nor MET exon 14 skipping mutations. Patient age, stage, pathologic subtype, and genotyping results were collected prospectively. Treatment changes as a result of TST15 and clinical trial opportunities (clinicaltrials.gov) were identified. Incremental testing costs were based on direct laboratory costs, but not personnel and administration costs.

Testing included 342 samples from 336 patients. The TST15 panel identified 409 mutations from 342 samples. Sample demographics include: male: 53, and stage 1/2/3/4: 34/8/15/43%. Incremental actionable targets beyond EGFR and ALK were identified in 3.5% of patients (ERBB2 2.3%, BRAF V600E 1.2%). Most mutations occurred in TP53 (43%), EGFR (24%) and KRAS (26%). Co-mutations occurred in 32% (TP53, KRAS, EGFR) of samples. To date, one patient has had a treatment change as a result of TST15 beyond targeting EGFR. Above SOC clinical trial options were identified for 88% of stage IV and 26% of stage III patients. 3.6 samples were needed to identify one actionable mutation, predominantly in EGFR, at an estimated cost of $1919 CAD per target.

Extended genotyping with TST15 in NSCLC identifies an additional 3.5% of patients with actionable mutations above SOC and improves clinical trial options for patients. Despite this, impact on patient treatment beyond targeting EGFR is minimal. To enhance the number of targets and minimize costs, affordable population-based comprehensive testing with a panel that includes fusions/CNV is needed.

P2.03-04 - Next Generation Sequencing in Lung Cancer Using the Oncomine Comprehensive Assay: The Canadian Publicly Funded Experience (ID 12181)
16:45 - 18:00 | Author(s): Prodipto Pal
- Abstract
Background
Standard of care (SOC) diagnostics for patients with stage IV non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) in Canada includes EGFR and ALK testing. Other genomic alterations are not tested routinely; however, access to enhanced molecular testing may broaden treatment options, clinical trial access, and improve outcomes for patients. This study uses the Oncomine Comprehensive Assay (OCA) v3, a next generation sequencing (NGS) panel in NSCLC to evaluate actionable targets, clinical trial eligibility, treatment impact, costs, turnaround time, and patient preference.
a9ded1e5ce5d75814730bb4caaf49419 Method
Consecutive consenting stage IV NSCLC outpatients at the Princess Margaret Cancer Centre without EGFR/ALK/KRAS/BRAF derangement diagnosed at the University Health Network (UHN) in Toronto, Canada will be enrolled to undergo OCA testing on diagnostic samples. The selected platform (OCA v3, ThermoFisher) includes 161 genes including hotspots, fusions, and copy number variations. Patient age, pathologic subtype, genotyping results and treatment history will be collected. Primary endpoints include incremental actionable targets identified and clinical trial opportunities (clinicaltrials.gov) added through incremental testing beyond SOC. Secondary endpoints include treatment changes as a result of OCA testing, costs from the perspective of the Canadian public healthcare system, patient willingness-to pay, and test turnaround time.
4c3880bb027f159e801041b1021e88e8 Result
The study activated in February 2018 with 7 patients enrolled as of April 2018. Results of the value of incremental OCA testing beyond standard of care in the Canadian public healthcare system will be presented at the meeting.
8eea62084ca7e541d918e823422bd82e Conclusion
While OCA testing in patients with advanced NSCLC may identify more actionable targets than selected genotyping, its cost effectiveness in the Canadian healthcare system is unknown and will be determined through this study.
