Myelodysplastic Syndromes, Whole Genome Sequencing
Conditions
Brief summary
This is a single institution, prospective study of the whole genome sequencing assay, ChromoSeq. Using prospectively collected patient data, coupled with physician surveys, the investigators seek to determine the feasibility of implementing ChromoSeq in addition to standard genomic testing, for patients with the diagnosis of myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS).

Eligibility
Inclusion criteria
Patient: * Diagnosis of MDS, or a clinical suspicion for a new diagnosis of MDS, for whom routine diagnostic testing is requested or planned to be requested. * Seen in the outpatient setting. * Not been previously treated with disease-modifying therapy (such as lenalidomide or hypomethylating agents). Note: Patients who have received transfusional support, erythropoietin-stimulating agents, growth factor support, or luspatercept are eligible. At least 18 years of age. -Able to understand and willing to sign an IRB approved written informed consent document. Inclusion Criteria Physician: * Treating physician at Washington University School of Medicine who directs therapy for individuals with hematologic malignancies. * Able and willing to complete standardized questionnaires about stakeholder perceptions of ChromoSeq during the ChromoSeq implementation process. (Written documentation of informed consent is not required.)
Exclusion criteria
Patient: -Younger than 18 years of age
Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Rate of assay success on first attempt between ChromoSeq and conventional cytogenetics as measured by total number of recurrent structural variants identified | Through completion of all ChromoSeq tests (estimated to be 24 months) | -The number of recurrent structural variants detected by ChromoSeq will be compared to those detected by conventional cytogenetics using two non-inferiority tests for dependent samples using non-inferiority margin of 1%. |
| Rate of assay success on first attempt between ChromoSeq and conventional cytogenetics as measured by total number of copy number alterations identified | Through completion of all ChromoSeq tests (estimated to be 24 months) | The number of copy number alterations detected by ChromoSeq will be compared to those detected by conventional cytogenetics using two non-inferiority tests for dependent samples using non-inferiority margin of 1%. |
| Proportion of failed ChromoSeq assays | Through completion of all ChromoSeq tests (estimated to be 24 months) | * As compared to failed standard of care genomic profiling assays * The proportion of first-run failures for ChromoSeq assays will be compared to the proportion of failed standard of care genomic profiling assays using a directional Fisher's exact test. |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Stakeholder perceptions of ChromoSeq | Through 1 month after generation of ChromoSeq for all patients enrolled (estimated to be 25 months) | * Using survey responses from treating physicians obtained from per case standardized questionnaires designed using Consolidated Framework for Implementation Research constructs * For each case, the corresponding treating physician will be asked to answer a case-based ChromoSeq Implementation Physician Survey. In order to prospectively investigate how the ChromoSeq data was used or could be used by the treating physician for each case, and to evaluate perceptions in real time, the physician will be asked to complete the survey within 1 month of the ChromoSeq and completed conventional genomic profiling results being returned to the chart, whichever is later. |
