Background: High-throughput genotyping tests to evaluate large numbers of genetic abnormalities in non–small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) are needed. Methods: Archival formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded (FFPE) tumor specimens were collected from patients with advanced NSCLC enrolled in the LETS phase III trial. With the use of the multiplex platform of Sequenom’s MassARRAY assays, we performed high-throughput genotyping for 214 somatic hotspot mutations in 26 genes (LungCarta Panel) and 20 major variants of ALK, RET, and ROS1 fusion genes (LungFusion Panel). We also evaluated MET amplification by fluorescence in situ hybridization. Results: The numbers of evaluable patients were 275 for somatic gene mutations, 240 for fusion genes, and 229 for MET amplification. A somatic mutation in at least one gene was identified in 105 (48%) of the 217 patients with nonsquamous cell carcinoma (non-SCC) and in 26 (45%) of the 58 patients with SCC. Overall, we identified EGFR mutations in 46 patients (17%), TP53 mutations in 30 (11%), STK11 mutations in 27 (9.8%), MET mutations in 21 (7.6%), KRAS mutations in 17 (6.2%), PIK3CA mutations in 6 (2.2%), and BRAF and NRAS mutations in 3 each (1.1%). Median overall survival of EGFR mutation–positive patients was significantly longer than that of those without EGFR mutations (23.7 vs. 12.6 months, P = 0.004). Conversely, patients with KRAS mutations had a significantly shorter survival time than did those with wild-type KRAS (9.9 vs. 15.3 months, P = 0.04). ALK fusions were detected in six cases (2.5%), ROS1 fusions in five (2.1%), and RET fusions in one (0.4%), with these three types of rearrangement being mutually exclusive. Median overall survival was 19.5 versus 13.8 months for fusion gene–positive and –negative patients, respectively (P = 0.89). De novo MET amplification was identified in 9 patients (3.9%). Conclusions: This first multiplex genotyping of NSCLC accompanying a phase III study demonstrates that MassARRAY-based testing performs well with nucleic acid derived from FFPE tissue obtained from patients with advanced NSCLC.
