Abstract:
10005 Background: Next generation sequencing (NGS) assays are now a standard part of clinical care for many adult solid cancers. The significance of molecular tumor profiling for the care of children with cancer is not well understood.We aimed to determine the clinical impact of identifying genomic alterations by NGS for young patients with relapsed, refractory, or high-risk extracranial solid tumors. Methods: We report on the first 389 participants in a prospective cohort study enrolling patients at 12 institutions with extracranial solid tumors diagnosed at age 30 years or less. Targeted DNA NGS was performed on one or more tumor samples from each patient. Selected patients also had tumors subjected to RNA sequencing. Test results were returned to the treating oncologist and follow-up treatment and response data were collected.Identified genomic alterations were classified according to evidence of impact on diagnosis, prognosis or response to targeted therapy matched to an identified alteration (matched targeted therapy, MTT) using established guidelines. Response to MTT was determined and reported as a response if either there was radiographic response according to RECIST or the duration of therapy was 〉 4 months. Results: Molecular tumor profiling (MTP) was successful in 345 (89%) patients (mean age 11 years at diagnosis; 65% with sarcoma). Two hundred and ninety-nine patients with MTP results (87%) had one or more alterations of clinical significance. Genomic alterations with diagnostic, prognostic or therapeutic significance were present in 208 (60%), 51 (15%) and 240 (70%) patients, respectively. Of the 240 patients with tumors harboring genomic alterations designated as having therapeutic impact, 23 (11%) had Tier 1 molecular findings. 205 patients were eligible to receive MTT based on having a molecular alteration with therapeutic significance and sufficient follow-up; 31 of these patients (15%) received MTT. Seven patients (23%) receiving MTT responded, 6 of these were kinase fusions. All of the responders received targeted therapy matched to a fusion and 78% of diagnostically significant alterations were fusions. Conclusions: Molecular tumor profiling has a significant impact on diagnosis and treatment recommendations for young patients with extracranial solid tumors. These results emphasize the importance of fusion detection for patients with sarcomas and rare tumors. Clinical trial information: NCT02520713.
