Abstract

Background: Navify® Mutation Profiler (Navify MP) is a cloud-based, tertiary analysis software that provides curation, annotation, and reporting of somatic genomic alterations and biomarker signatures identified by next-generation sequencing. The Navify MP software leverages Association for Molecular Pathology/American Society of Clinical Oncology/College of American Pathologists (AMP/ASCO/CAP) Somatic Variant Classification Guidelines to provide information on detected somatic genomic variants and associated therapies according to region-specific approvals. Methods: This validation study assessed the accuracy of the Navify MP software and curation process for hematologic malignancies as compared to expert opinion. A total of 86 variants derived from hematologic malignancies (including myeloid and lymphoid leukemias, B cell lymphomas, and multiple myeloma) were used to contrive 12 VCF files. The VCFs were made up of the following classes of genomic alterations: single nucleotide variants, small insertions and deletions, fusions, and copy number alterations. Of the 86 variants, 42 were Tier IA, and 44 were non-Tier IA, based on AMP/ASCO/CAP classification. The study was performed at four sites with seven software users (molecular genetics experts). Results: Tier classification agreement between Navify MP and expert user assignment was 91.34% for Tier IA and 95.02% across all hematologic variants. The agreement on associated therapies for the Navify MP-classified Tier IA hematologic variants was 99.08%. Conclusion: Navify MP is a robust automated solution for genomic variant reporting of hematologic malignancies and remains up to date with evolving regional approvals and medical guidelines.
