244 Background: Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PC) is associated with multiple hereditary cancer syndromes. Genes implicated in hereditary PC include ATM, BRCA1, BRCA2, CDKN2A, EPCAM, MLH1, MSH2, MSH6, PALB2 and PMS2. The advent of multi-gene hereditary cancer panel testing streamlines diagnoses and medical management for clinicians and patients. Our objective was to assess the yield of pathogenic/likely pathogenic variants (PV/LPV) in individuals with PC undergoing panel testing as an initial test at GeneDx. Methods: We retrospectively reviewed panel test results of 605 individuals reporting a personal history of PC. Panel testing evaluated up to 32 genes associated with hereditary cancer. Individuals reporting neuroendocrine pathology or previous BRCA1/BRCA2 testing were excluded. Results: In this cohort, 61 PV/LPV were detected in 57 individuals in the following genes: ATM (17), BRCA2 (14), BRCA1 (5), CDKN2A (5), PALB2 (5), CHEK2 (4), MLH1 (2), MUTYH (2), PMS2 (2), BARD1 (1), FANCC (1), MSH2 (1), RAD51D (1) and TP53 (1), corresponding to a positive yield of 9.4% (57/605). Fifty-one of 61 PV/LPV were detected in genes associated with PC (84%) while 10 PV/LPV (16%) were identified in other genes including BARD1, CHEK2, FANCC, MUTYH, and RAD51D. The diagnostic yield among those reporting a family history of PC (33/294, 11.2%) was not statistically different from those without a reported family history (24/311, 7.7%). However, PV/LPV in ATM were detected more often in individuals reporting a family history of PC compared to those without a family history (4.1% vs. 1.6%, p=0.018). Conclusions: In total, 9.4% of patients with PC tested positive for PV/LPV in 14 different genes by panel testing. Although the majority of PV/LPV were identified in known PC genes, 16% of positive findings occurred in genes not typically associated with PC. ATM was most commonly implicated and more frequently reported in patients reporting family histories of PC. Assessing whether these genes are indeed causally related to PC and/or are possibly associated with other cancer types requires further investigation. Based on our results we conclude multi-gene panel testing may be considered as a first option for patients with PC regardless of their family history.

PURPOSE The routine use of large next-generation sequencing (NGS) pan-cancer panels is required to identify the increasing number of, but often uncommon, actionable alterations to guide therapy. Inconsistent coverage and variable payment is hindering NGS adoption into clinical practice. A review of test utilization, clinical utility, coverage, and reimbursement was conducted in a cohort of patients diagnosed with high-risk cancer who received pan-cancer panel testing as part of their clinical care. MATERIALS AND METHODS The Columbia Combined Cancer Panel (CCCP), a 467-gene panel designed to detect DNA variations in solid and liquid tumors, was performed in the Laboratory of Personalized Genomic Medicine at Columbia University Irving Medical Center. Utilization was characterized at test order. Results were reviewed by a molecular pathologist, followed by a multidisciplinary molecular tumor board where clinical utility was classified by consensus. Reimbursement was reviewed after payers provided final coverage decisions. RESULTS NGS was performed on 359 high-risk tumors from 349 patients. Reimbursement data were available for 246 cases. The most common reason providers ordered CCCP testing was for patients diagnosed with a treatment-resistant or recurrent tumor (n = 214; 61%). Findings were clinically impactful for 229 cases (64%). Molecular alterations that may inform future therapy in the event of progression or relapse were found in 42% of cases, and a targeted therapy was initiated in 23 cases (6.6%). The majority of tests were denied coverage by payers (n = 190; 77%). On average, insurers reimbursed 10.75% of the total NGS service charge. CONCLUSION CCCP testing identified clinically impactful alterations in 64% of cases. Limited coverage and low reimbursement remain barriers, and broader reimbursement policies are needed to adopt pan-cancer NGS testing that benefits patients into clinical practice.
