Abstrakt: Recently, approval of tyrosine receptor kinase (TRK) inhibitors by Food and Drug Administration and European Medicines Agency in NTRK fusion-positive cancer types has led to a variety of proposed testing algorithms. In this study, performance of the fully automated Idylla GeneFusion Assay was assessed in a set of clinically relevant cancer types, including glioblastoma, non-small-cell lung cancer, microsatellite instability-positive colorectal cancer, and thyroid carcinoma. Analysis with the Idylla GeneFusion Assay revealed significant differences in baseline RNA expression profile between the different cancer types, which corresponded to both literature and pan-TRK immunohistochemical staining. Compared with the RNA-based Oncomine Focus Assay, the Idylla GeneFusion Assay demonstrated an overall percentage agreement, positive percentage agreement, and negative percentage agreement of 92.7%, 81.8%, and 93.8%, respectively; and the pan-TRK immunohistochemistry demonstrated an overall percentage agreement, positive percentage agreement, and negative percentage agreement of 82.1%, 45.5%, and 85.7%, respectively. These findings highlighted the importance of tailoring NTRK testing algorithms per cancer type. In a small subset, data from the RNA-based Archer FusionPlex Assay were also available. NTRK fusion detection efficiency was compared between the four NTRK testing modalities, with a high concordance between the PCR-based methods. Last, RNA degradation was observed when using the Idylla GeneFusion Assay on snap frozen tissue samples as these are nonfixated. This might be countered by increasing the amount of sample input. To conclude, the Idylla GeneFusion Assay has shown a clear potential in identifying NTRK fusions.
