Abstract

BACKGROUND: FoundationOneCDx is approved in the US and Japan as a companion diagnostic test to identify patients with cancer who may benefit from treatment with 30 drug therapies in the US and 23 in Japan. Tumor profiling with FoundationOneCDx also detects genomic findings with evidence of clinical significance that may inform clinical care decisions beyond companion diagnostic claims. This observational study reports the breadth and impact of clinical decision insights from FoundationOneCDx solid tumor profiles.

MATERIALS AND METHODS: Consecutive test result reports for patients with solid tumor diagnoses (n = 109 695) were retrospectively analyzed for clinically significant predictive, prognostic, and diagnostic genomic alterations and signatures, determined in accordance with professional guidelines. Interventional clinical trials with targeted therapies or immune checkpoint inhibitors were matched to tumor profiles based on evidence that the genomic finding may be an actionable, investigational, or hypothetical target in the patient's tumor type.

RESULTS: In 14 predefined cancer types (80.7% of analyzed solid tumors), predictive, prognostic, and diagnostic markers were reported in 47.6%, 13.2%, and 4.5% of samples, respectively, accounting for a total of 51.2% of tumor profiles. Pan-cancer predictive markers of tumor mutational burden (TMB) of 10 or more mutations per megabase, high microsatellite instability (MSI), or NTRK1/2/3 fusions were observed in 15.6%, 2.0%, and 0.1% of solid tumors, respectively. Most solid tumor profiles (89.2%) had genomic results that could theoretically inform decisions on the selection of immunotherapy and targeted therapy clinical trials.

CONCLUSION: For this real-world population of patients with FoundationOneCDx solid tumor profiles in the routine course of clinical care, clinically significant findings were reported for approximately half of patients with genomic results.
