Overcoming barriers to tumor genomic profiling through direct-to-patient outreach

Abstract: Purpose: To overcome barriers to genomic testing for patients with rare cancers, we initiated a program to offer free clinical tumor genomic testing worldwide to patients with select rare cancer subtypes. Experimental design: Patients were recruited through social media outreach and engagement with disease-specific advocacy groups, with a focus on patients with histiocytosis, germ cell tumors (GCT), and pediatric cancers. Tumors were analyzed using the MSK-IMPACT next-generation sequencing assay with the return of results to patients and their local physicians. Whole-exome recapture was performed for female patients with GCTs to define the genomic landscape of this rare cancer subtype. Results: A total of 333 patients were enrolled, and tumor tissue was received for 288 (86.4%), with 250 (86.8%) having tumor DNA of sufficient quality for MSK-IMPACT testing. Eighteen patients with histiocytosis have received genomically guided therapy to date, of whom 17 (94%) have had clinical benefit with a mean treatment duration of 21.7 months (range, 6-40+). Whole-exome sequencing of ovarian GCTs identified a subset with haploid genotypes, a phenotype rarely observed in other cancer types. Actionable genomic alterations were rare in ovarian GCT (28%); however, 2 patients with ovarian GCTs with squamous transformation had high tumor mutational burden, one of whom had a complete response to pembrolizumab. Conclusions: Direct-to-patient outreach can facilitate the assembly of cohorts of rare cancers of sufficient size to define their genomic landscape. By profiling tumors in a clinical laboratory, results could be reported to patients and their local physicians to guide treatment. See related commentary by Desai and Subbiah, p. 2339
