Brief summary
The study aims to evaluate the Plasma-SeqSensei™ Solid Cancer IVD Kit NGS diagnostic test (Sysmex) before its introduction into routine diagnostics. This is a test for research of EGFR mutations in cfDNA that needs to be evaluated in a patient population with lung adenocarcinoma already characterized for EGFR mutations by a molecular test of reference. The proposed study does not present any risk to participants.
Interventions
The patients' blood has already been collected in Streck tubes for circulating DNA and the plasma has been stored at -80°C as per the procedure for the routine diagnostic test cobas EGFR Mutation Test v2. No further blood sampling will be required from patients. Circulating DNA/RNA will be extracted from 2-5 ml of plasma. The extracted cfDNA will be quantified. The libraries will be prepared using the NGS Plasma-SeqSensei™ Solid Cancer IVD Kit (Sysmex) and will be evaluated at the Tapestation (Agilent) to verify their quality and quantity using D1000 Screentapes. The libraries consisting of approximately 16 samples each will then be sequenced on an Illumina NextSeq 500 sequencer using the Illumina NextSeq 500/550 Mid Output Kit v2.5 (150 Cycles). Data analysis will be performed using Plasma-SeqSensei™ IVD Software (Sysmex).

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Primary Outcome | Through study completion, an average of 1 year | Evaluate the capability of the NGS test Plasma-SeqSensei™ Solid Cancer IVD Kit (Sysmex) in detecting a greater number of EGFR mutations compared to the diagnostic test routine cobas® EGFR Mutation Test v2 (Roche) |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Secondary Outcome | Through study completion, an average of 1 year | Check if the NGS Plasma-SeqSensei™ Solid Cancer IVD Kit (Sysmex) is comparable to conventional test (cobas® EGFR MutationTest v2 (Roche)) in the detection of the mutational status of EGFR |
