Background: The implementation of genomic profiling with next generation sequencing has revolutionized the field of precision oncology. Comprehensive genomic testing of tumors to identify actionable genomic alterations is now commonly performed in the care of patients with advanced/metastatic disease. Although the genomic profile of tumors has been shown to evolve with progression and intervening treatments, the role of repeat genomic testing is not well established. We sought to determine the evolution of actionable genomic alterations in patients undergoing repeat genomic testing on the same comprehensive genomic panel. Methods: We retrospectively examined the molecular profiles and medical records of 262 patients with metastatic solid tumors treated in MD Anderson who underwent genomic testing on the same panel (Oncomine, Thermo Fisher) for the detection of somatic mutations in the coding sequence of 143 cancer-related genes, on at least 2 separate occasions. Genomic alterations were reviewed by a central Precision Oncology Decision Support (PODS) team in order to provide annotations at the alteration level on the functional significance. Results: 262 patients underwent repeat genomic testing using the same genomic panel on samples collected at different time points from July 2010 to Dec 2021 across tumor types. Changes in alterations (gain or loss) were identified on repeat testing in most patients (66%) We then specifically assessed changes in alterations that were categorized as actionable if annotated by the PODS team at the time of reporting. A gain or loss of an actionable alteration was detected in 38% (100/262) patients. New actionable alterations were frequently identified (73%; 73/100), while 41% had loss of an actionable alteration (41/100). 14% had both loss and gain of actionable alteration on repeat testing; 58% had new actionable alteration identified alone; 27% had loss of actionable alteration only. Actionable alterations identified on repeat testing included alterations in PI3K/AKT (27%), EGFR (15%), and MAPK(16%). On repeat testing, changes in ³2 actionable alterations were frequently identified in the same test (43%). Conclusions: Repeat large panel genomic testing identifies both gain and loss of actionable alterations in patients with advanced metastatic cancers. Actionable aberrations frequently co-exist with alterations in a variety of other genes, which highlights the complexities of treating patients with metastatic cancer on progression of disease and suggests that tailored combination strategies may be necessary in these patients.
