7. A Cancer Genomics Case: Diagnosis & Treatment • 78 yr. old Caucasian male with base of tongue mass • Mass resected, followed by adjuvant radiation • 1.5 cm poorly differentiated adenocarcinoma with micropapillary & mucinous features; • 3/21 neck LNs positive; • 2+ EGFR IHC staining • Lung nodules developed • Tx: Erlotinib (EGFR inhibitor) • Continued growth on therapy • Consent for genome & transcriptome analysis of lung nodule biopsy (Jones et al. Genome Biology 2010, 11:R82)

8. A Cancer Genomic Case: Genomic-Based Treatment • RB1 & PTEN loss associated with EGFR inhibitor (gefitinib) resistance c/w erlotinib failure • Up regulation of RET and RET signaling pathway • Treated with sunitinib (RET inhibitor) with lung nodule reduction & stable disease for 4 months • Switched to a multi-kinase inhibitor (sorafenib) with stable disease for 3 months • Repeat genomic analysis of met suggested need for combination treatment with RET, EGFR and mTOR inhibitor therapy; not done Genomic Analysis has the potential to individualize treatment for each cancer to improve response (Jones et al. Genome Biology 2010, 11:R82)

11. 0 Genomic Analysis by Next Generation Sequencing is Being Used in Molecular Pathology Practice Today Research will increase clinical use Genomic Analysis: Clinically Useful Now Genomic Analysis: Research & Future Potential Past and Continuing Molecular Pathology Tests Gene Panels Genome Single/Few Mutations Transcriptome Exome Single Gene/Pathogen Few Genes/Pathogens = Genomic Analysis by Next Gen Sequencing Next Generation Sequencing is the newest Molecular Pathology technology and is being used now

12. Some Molecular Pathology Tests Will Move to Next Generation Sequencing While Others Will Remain on Current Platforms Molecular Pathology Current Molecular Pathology Testing Examples Genomic Analysis • Viral Loads • Bone Marrow Engraftment Analysis • Deafness Genetic Testing • EGFR Mutations • KRAS Mutations • BRAF Mutations Gene Panels Exome • Cancer • Specific inherited disorders • Cancer • Unidentified inherited disorders

13. Opportunities Exist for ALL Pathologists to Play Key Roles Within Genomic Medicine All Pathologists Pre-Analytical Molecular Pathologists, Molecular Geneticists, Industry & Others with strong molecular biology or genetics knowledge Sequence Data Generation Sequence Data Interpretation Reporting & Billing All Pathologists Clinical Consultation

14. The Cost of Genome Sequencing Is Decreasing Rapidly and Driving Clinical Adoption of Genomic Analysis Cost per Genome Data Generation, 2001 – 2011 Cost for genome sequence data generation today is <$3,000 Source: National Human Genome Research Institute

15. Early Adopters Identify Clinical Grade Databases and Bioinformatics Tools as a High Priority Need • Clinical Database(s): • Require significant time & money • Need to define quality & submission standards • Need to define access & IP issues • Software Tools for Interpretation and Clinical Usefulness: • Require significant time & money • Many software tools being developed • No interoperability standards • Will facilitate role for ALL pathologists in Genomic Medicine Pathologists should be at the table in the development of bioinformatics tools & should learn to use tools as developed

16. Opportunities Exist for ALLPathologists to Play Key Roles Within Genomic Medicine Pre-Analytical What is the landscape for ALL Pathologists in the Pre-Analytical & Clinical Consultation Phases for Genomic Testing? Sequence Data Generation Sequence Data Interpretation Reporting & Billing Clinical Consultation

17. Clinical Decision Support Tools Can Assist ALL Pathologists with the Pre-analytical and Clinical Consultations for Genomic Medicine Clinical Decision Support Sequence Analysis Variant Database Source: Grail Analysis

18. A Speed of Clinical Adoption Hinges on Several Factors Bioinformatics • Need clinical quality databases and software tools • Pathologists must participate in development Decreasing Costs Regulatory Uncertainty • Cost of genome analysis is rapidly decreasing • Sequencing instruments noware clinically affordable • Federal regulatory uncertainty today • Quality standards being led by CAP with AMP & ACMG Payment Uncertainty Increasing Speed • Can generate sequencing data in 10-36 hours • Clinically relevant TAT available today for data generation • Currently, no specific CPT codes exist for Genomic Analysis • Payers do not understand Genomic Analysis Clinical Usefulness • Genomic Analysis is in clinical use now (small but growing) • Research/discovery will increase clinical applications

19. Current GA Reporting and Payment Environment is Uncertain Pre-Analytical • No IT standards for reporting in LIS, EHR & PHR • Interoperability standards • Terminology standards • Molecular CPT Codes under revision • No GA CPT Codes available • Payers do not understand GA • Early adopters negotiating coverage & reimbursement with each payer for each patient by early adopters Sequence Data Generation Sequence Data Interpretation Reporting & Billing Clinical Consultation

20. Current GA Regulatory Environment is Uncertain Pre-Analytical • FDA held meeting to understand early clinical users needs & concerns • No FDA position/guidance • No CLIA standards for GA • CAP Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) Work Group • NGS Checklist questions • PT Exchange Sequence Data Generation Sequence Data Interpretation Reporting & Billing Clinical Consultation

21. Pathologists Have an Opportunity to Lead the Medical Community in Genomic Medicine • No single medical specialty is well informed about Genomic Medicine • Pathologists have the opportunity to be seen as thought leaders in Genomic Medicine • While Next Gen technology is rapidly advancing, the growth of the genomics knowledge base will result in a slow evolution of clinical applications • Pathologists must have a genomics advocacy voice to be seen as leaders in Genomic Medicine

22. CAP policy and advocacy initiatives preserve our role and assert our leadership in Genomic Medicine… • 100 new test-specific CPT codes • CAP at the table on how to regulate LDTs, including genomic tests • CAP advocating to knock down laws that impede pathologists from releasing pathology results and consulting with patients • CAP is blocking state laws that encroach on pathologists’ role as a physician • CAP is a plaintiff in the BRCA lawsuit against Myriad New Molecular Pathology Codes CAP LDT Oversight Proposal Removing Barriers to Consulting with Patients on Test Results Preserving Scope of Practice Resisting Gene Patents
