PG - 178-184 LID - 10.1373/jalm.2018.026278 [doi] AB - BACKGROUND: Molecular tests have been increasingly used in the management of various cancers as more targeted therapies are becoming available as treatment options. The Idylla system is a fully integrated, cartridge-based platform that provides automated sample processing (deparaffinization, tissue digestion, and DNA extraction) and real-time PCR-based mutation detection with all reagents included in a single-use cartridge. This retrospective study aimed at evaluating both the Idylla KRAS and NRAS-BRAF-EGFR492 Mutation Assay cartridges (research use only) against next-generation sequencing (NGS) by using colorectal cancer (CRC) tissue samples. METHODS: Forty-four archived formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded (FFPE) CRC tissue samples previously analyzed by targeted NGS were tested on the Idylla system. Among these samples, 17 had a mutation in KRAS proto-oncogene, GTPase (KRAS), 5 in NRAS proto-oncogene, GTPase (NRAS), and 12 in B-Raf proto-oncogene, serine/threonine kinase (BRAF) as determined using the Ion AmpliSeq 50-gene Cancer Hotspot Panel v2. The remaining 10 samples were wild-type for KRAS, NRAS, and BRAF. Two 10-mum FFPE tissue sections were used for each Idylla run, 1 for the KRAS cartridge, and 1 for the NRAS-BRAF-EGFR492 cartridge. All cases met the Idylla minimum tumor content requirement for KRAS, NRAS, and BRAF (>/=10%). Assay reproducibility was evaluated by testing commercial controls derived from human cell lines, which had an allelic frequency of 50% and were run in triplicate. RESULTS: The Idylla system successfully detected all mutations previously identified by NGS in KRAS (G12C, G12D, G12V, G13D, Q61K, Q61R, A146T), NRAS (G12V, G13R, Q61H), and BRAF (V600E). Compared with NGS, Idylla had a sensitivity of 100%. Analysis of the mutated commercial controls demonstrated agreement with the expected result for all samples and 100% reproducibility. The Idylla system produced results quickly with a turnaround time of approximately 2 h. CONCLUSION: The Idylla system offers reliable and sensitive testing of clinically actionable mutations in KRAS, NRAS, and BRAF directly from FFPE tissue sections.
