NeuroSeq: A Prospective Trial to Evaluate the Diagnostic Yield of Whole Genome Sequencing (WGS) in Adult Neurology

Illumina, Inc.160 enrolled

Overview

Prospective, multi-site, single-arm study to evaluate the diagnostic yield of cWGS in adults with neurological disorders. A single cohort naive of genetic testing will receive standard of care testing for 180 days followed by cWGS. The cohort will be followed for a total of 365 days following enrollment.

This is a prospective, randomized study to evaluate the diagnostic yield of SOC compared to cWGS in each participant. Throughout this study, each participant will receive SOC testing as determined by the site clinical team. After the physician orders SOC testing during standard clinical practice, the subject will be introduced and invited to participate in the study. On Day 180, the participant will receive a cWGS result and the participant will continue to be followed for an additional 180 days. A blood sample from each enrolled participant will be collected and shipped to the Illumina Clinical Services Laboratory ("ICSL"), which is Clinical Laboratory Improvement Amendments (CLIA)-certified and College of American Pathologists (CAP)-accredited. ICSL will conduct cWGS testing with the TruGenome Undiagnosed Disease Test ("TruGenome Test"). The TruGenome Test cWGS results will be provided to the Principal Investigator (PI) or designee who will evaluate each participant's test outcome based on aggregate medical information.

Outcomes

Primary Outcomes

Diagnostic Yield between cWGS and SOC testing

The number of participants who have a diagnosis in the SOC arm vs the cWGS arm as measured by the test outcome

Time frame: Day 0 - Day 365

Secondary Outcomes

Change of Management between cWGS and SOC testing as measured by a management questionnaire collected on a case report form

The number of participants who have a change in management after receiving SOC results vs cWGS results as measured by a management questionnaire at baseline, Day 180 and Day 365

Time frame: Day 0 - Day 365

Resource Utilization between cWGS and SOC testing

The number of participants who have utilized resources to include specialist referrals, tests/procedures ordered and procedures avoided in the SOC arm vs the cWGS arm as measured by data collection case report forms

Time frame: Day 0 - Day 365

Quality of Life between cWGS and SOC testing

Comparison between Quality-of-Life scores as measured by the 12-Item Short Form Survey (SF12) from baseline compared to end of study

Time frame: Day 0 - Day 365

Diagnostic Accuracy between cWGS and SOC testing when comparing the medical monitor test outcome and the site PI test outcome

Diagnostic accuracy- percent positive agreement between test outcome classified by the medical monitor and the site PI or designee

Time frame: Day 0 - Day 180

Diagnostic Yield within Cohort when evaluating specific Neurologic disorders

Difference in diagnostic yield between cohorts of neurological disorders

Time frame: Day 0 - Day 365
