11571 Background: Relapsed/refractory (R/R) non-Hodgkin lymphomas (NHL) have a poor prognosis with limited treatment options. Our expanding knowledge of molecular alterations seen in R/R NHL allows identification of patients that potentially may benefit from a precision medicine approach. However, experience in routine clinical implementation of precision medicine has been limited. Here, we summarize our clinical experience in molecular characterization of RR NHL targeted therapy (TT) using next-generation sequencing (NGS), and selection of targeted therapy (TT) based on molecular profile. Methods: We conducted a prospective study in RR NHL through the Center for Individualized Medicine at Mayo Clinic. Consenting patients underwent NGS using FoundationOne Heme panel from biopsies done at time of relapse. Results of NGS were discussed at the Genomic Tumor Board and recommendations for TT were given based on matching specific molecular alteration(s) with potential agent(s) predicted to be active based on NGS. The agents could include FDA-approved, off-label use and clinical trial therapies. Results: 28 cases were enrolled: 18 aggressive NHL, 10 follicular lymphoma (FL). Molecular alterations were present in all cases. In aggressive B-cell NHL, CDKN2A/B gene cluster alterations were seen in 73% (8/11), while seen in only 1/7 T-cell lymphomas (TCL), and 1/10 FL. TP53 deletions were second most common genomic alterations in DLBCL (57%) and seen in 40% FL. JAK-STAT and ERBB pathways were altered in TCL (2/7 each). IGH-BCl-2 gene rearrangement were common in FL (70%), followed by MLL gene alterations (50%). Targetable mutations were present in 86% (24/28) of cases. A TT was recommended in all 24 cases, but received by 2 patients only. Remaining patients did not due to benefit from current therapy (10/24), ineligibility or lack of clinical trial (7/24) or interim clinical deterioration (5/24). Conclusions: Targetable mutations were identified in most cases of RR NHL with TT recommended for all cases. However, access to TT limits potential clinical benefit of molecular-based matching strategy. More studies are needed to assess impact on clinical outcomes.

AbstractBackgroundWe characterized the pharmacogenomics (PGx) results received by diagnostic odyssey patients as secondary findings during clinical whole exome sequencing (WES) testing as a part of their care in Mayo Clinic's Individualized Medicine Clinic to determine the potential benefits and limitations to this cohort.MethodsWES results on 94 patients included a subset of PGx variants in CYP2C19, CYP2C9, and VKORC1 if identified in the patient. Demographic, phenotypic, and medication usage information was abstracted from patient medical data. A pharmacist interpreted the PGx results in the context of the patients’ current medication use and made therapeutic recommendations.ResultsThe majority was young with a median age of 10 years old, had neurological involvement in the disease presentation (71%), and was currently taking medications (90%). Of the 94 PGx‐evaluated patients, 91% had at least one variant allele reported and 20% had potential immediate implications on current medication use.ConclusionDue to the disease complexity and medication needs of diagnostic odyssey patients, there may be immediate benefit obtained from early life PGx testing for many and most will likely find benefit in the future. These results require conscientious interpretation and management to be actionable for all prescribing physicians throughout the lifetime of the patient.
