abstract = {Adenoid cystic carcinoma (ACC) is an aggressive salivary
gland malignancy without effective systemic therapies.
Delineation of molecular profiles in ACC has led to an
increased number of biomarker-stratified clinical trials;
however, the clinical utility and U.S.-centric financial
sustainability of integrated next-generation sequencing
(NGS) in routine practice has, to our knowledge, not been
assessed.In our practice, NGS genotyping was implemented at
the discretion of the primary clinician. We combined
NGS-based mutation and fusion detection, with MYB
break-apart fluorescent in situ hybridization (FISH) and MYB
immunohistochemistry. Utility was defined as the fraction of
patients with tumors harboring alterations that are
potentially amenable to targeted therapies. Financial
sustainability was assessed using the fraction of global
reimbursement.Among 181 consecutive ACC cases (2011-2018),
prospective genotyping was performed in $11\%$ (n = 20/181;
n = 8 nonresectable). Testing identified 5/20 $(25\%)$
NOTCH1 aberrations, 6/20 $(30\%)$ MYB-NFIB fusions (all
confirmed by FISH), and 2/20 $(10\%)$ MYBL1-NFIB fusions.
Overall, these three alterations (MYB/MYBL1/NOTCH1) made up
$65\%$ of patients, and this subset had a more aggressive
course with significantly shorter progression-free survival.
In $75\%$ (n = 6/8) of nonresectable patients, we detected
potentially actionable alterations. Financial analysis of
the global charges, including NGS codes, indicated $63\%$
reimbursement, which is in line with national (U.S.-based)
and international levels of reimbursement CONCLUSION:
Prospective routine clinical genotyping in ACC can identify
clinically relevant subsets of patients and is approaching
financial sustainability. Demonstrating clinical utility and
financial sustainability in an orphan disease (ACC) requires
a multiyear and multidimensional program.Delineation of
molecular profiles in adenoid cystic carcinoma (ACC) has
been accomplished in the research setting; however, the
ability to identify relevant patient subsets in clinical
practice has not been assessed. This work presents an
approach to perform integrated molecular genotyping of
patients with ACC with nonresectable, recurrent, or systemic
disease. It was determined that $75\%$ of nonresectable
patients harbor potentially actionable alterations and that
$63\%$ of charges are reimbursed. This report outlines that
orphan diseases such as ACC require a multiyear,
multidimensional program to demonstrate utility in clinical
practice.},
