Abstract Genomic testing is an important part of personalized oncology. This study explored testing patterns and results, as well as patient (pt) characteristics, in the BC setting. Data from the nationwide, de-identified Flatiron Health (FH)-Foundation Medicine, Inc. (FMI) BC clinico-genomic database were included; pts had to have been treated in a FH network oncology practice and tested with a FMI CGP test. Pts were &amp;gt;18 years old and had a primary or metastatic BC (mBC) diagnosis between 1/1/2011 and 3/30/2020. Only pts with solid-tumor tissue of origin and solid-tumor assay tests were considered; pts whose tests occurred &amp;gt;120 days after their last visit (based on report date) were excluded. Pt cohorts were classified by timing of test result receipt: cohort 1, between primary diagnosis and &amp;lt;60 days after primary surgery, or &amp;lt;120 days post-diagnosis if no surgery recorded; cohort 2, between 60 days post-primary surgery and 60 days prior to mBC diagnosis, or &amp;gt;120 days post-diagnosis if no surgery recorded; cohort 3a, within 60 days prior to/after mBC diagnosis; and cohort 3b, &amp;gt;60 days after mBC diagnosis. Pt characteristics and actionable mutations according to the FMI report only (associated with sensitivity or resistance to ≥1 therapy) were described by cohort and BC subtype, defined at primary diagnosis for cohorts 1/2 and at mBC diagnosis for cohorts 3a/3b. Pt characteristics were compared with those of the FH cohort (not tested with next-generation sequencing or received other next-generation sequencing tests). Overall, 4183 pts were included: 285 in cohort 1, 412 in cohort 2, and 3486 in cohorts 3a/3b. There was an overrepresentation of triple-negative BC (TNBC) among pts tested in the early setting (cohorts 1/2) vs the underlying population (33%/32% vs 10%), and an underrepresentation of hormone receptor (HR)-positive/HER2-negative BC (45%/48% vs 71%). TNBC remained overrepresented among pts tested at mBC diagnosis (cohort 3a; 30% vs 11%), but not during mBC follow-up (cohort 3b; 14% vs 11%), which followed the underlying FH distribution. The majority of patients were tested using samples collected within their respective test windows: 100% in cohort 1, 63% in cohort 2, and 78% and 46% in cohorts 3a/3b. For pts tested in the mBC setting, 22% and 15% in cohorts 3a and 3b, respectively, were tested using tissue collected &amp;gt;60 days prior to mBC diagnosis. Percentages of pts with at least one FMI-report-actionable alteration ranged from 94% (n = 601) in HER2-positive samples to 75% (n = 668) in pts with TNBC. Among this BC cohort, FMI-CGP predominantly occurred in the mBC setting, and use of archival tissue for CGP occurred in later lines of treatment. Testing, in particular prior to mBC diagnosis, reflected a disproportionately higher prevalence of pts with TNBC, potentially due to there being fewer satisfactory treatment options in this setting. The distribution of actionable alterations varied by HER2 and HR status.
