CI = confidence interval; CNA = copy number alteration; CTA = clinical trial assay; evNGS = externally validated next-generation sequencing; F1CDx = FoundationOne®CDx; F1 LDT = FoundationOne® Laboratory Developed Test; FGFR2 = fibroblast growth factor receptor 2; HRR = homologous recombination repair; INDEL = insertion/deletion; NGS = next-generation sequencing; NPA = negative percent agreement; NTRK = neurotrophic receptor tyrosine kinase; PIK3CA = phosphatidylinositol-4,5-bisphosphate 3-kinase catalytic subunit alpha; PPA = positive percent agreement; SV = short variants; SUB = substitution.

a The PPA and NPA were calculated without adjusting for the distribution of samples enrolled using the F1 LDT; therefore, these estimates may be biased upward.

b PPA and NPA were adjusted using a prevalence of 9.6% to account for sampling differential.

c Primary analysis: a sample was considered as positive if an NTRK1/2/3 rearrangement was detected; otherwise, it was considered as negative.

d Subset 1: samples where F1CDx served as the selection assay. Adjusted PPA and NPA based on an estimated prevalence of 0.32% in the intended use population to account for sampling differences were 100.00% (95% CI: 95.31%, 100.00%) and 99.94% (95% CI: 99.91%, 99.96%), respectively, based on the primary analysis.

e Subset 2: clinical trial samples where local clinical trial assays (LCTAs) served as the selection assay. PPA and NPA were 88.89% (95% CI: 67.20%, 96.90%) and 100.00% (95% CI: 83.89%, 100%), respectively, based on the primary analysis.

f The weighted PPA and NPA based on the bootstrapping of the combined dataset 10,000 times are shown for the primary analysis.

g Secondary analysis: a sample was considered F1CDx positive only if it met the NTRK1/2/3 biomarker rule; otherwise, it was considered as F1CDx negative.

h Subset 1: samples where F1CDx served as the selection assay. Adjusted PPA and NPA based on an estimated prevalence of 0.32% in the intended use population to account for sampling differences were 13.58% (95% CI: 8.66%, 25.25%) and 99.98% (95% CI: 99.96%, 100.00%), respectively, based on the secondary analysis.

i Subset 2: clinical trial samples where local CTAs served as the selection assay. PPA and NPA were 83.33% (95% CI: 60.78%, 94.16%) and 100.00% (95% CI: 83.89%, 100%), respectively, based on the secondary analysis.

j The weighted PPA and NPA based on the bootstrapping of the combined dataset 10,000 times are shown for the secondary analysis.
