    Background:
    The identification of driver mutations, such as epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) and anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK), have already been successfully translated into clinical practice. The clinical implementation of genomic profiling for NSCLC with high-throughput and multiplex genotyping tests is thus warranted in order to prioritize appropriate therapies for individual patients.
    
    Methods:
    The present study has recruited lung cancer patients at Kinki University Hospital from June 2013. To screen patients with lung cancer for genetic alterations relevant to novel molecular-targeted therapeutics, we have applied a Ion AmpliSeq RNA Fusion Lung Cancer Research Panel to detect known fusion transcripts such as ALK, ROS1, RET, and NTRK1 rearrangements simultaneously in a RNA sample obtained from FFPE lung cancer tissues. Deep sequencing was also performed using the Ion AmpliSeq Colon and Lung Cancer Panel. There were two co-primary endpoints for this study. First, we assessed the percentage of patients with additional therapy options uncovered by detecting potentially actionable genetic alterations. Second, we evaluated the percentage of patients who actually received genotype-directed therapy.
    
    Results:
    From June 2013, one hundred ten patient tumor samples were sequenced with these assays, and 104 (95%) patients received the results of Ion AmpliSeq Colon and Lung Cancer Panel and 106 (96%) patients received the results of the Ion AmpliSeq RNA Fusion Lung Cancer Research Panel with a >90% success rate for genotyping. An actionable driver alteration was detected in 43 (39%) of tumors from patients, leading to use of a targeted therapy in 23 (21%).
    
    Conclusion:
    Multiplexed genomic testing can aid physicians in matching patients with targeted treatments and appropriate clinical trials.
