The Isothermal Amplification AmpFire Assay for Human Papillomavirus (HPV) Detection and Genotyping in Formalin-Fixed, Paraffin-Embedded Oropharyngeal Cancer Samples

Human papillomavirus (HPV)-related oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinomas (OPSCCs) represent a distinct clinical entity compared with HPV-negative tumors with particular regard to treatment response and survival outcome. The aim of this study was to assess the AmpFire Multiplex HR-HPV tests, for the...

Sumario:Human papillomavirus (HPV)-related oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinomas (OPSCCs) represent a distinct clinical entity compared with HPV-negative tumors with particular regard to treatment response and survival outcome. The aim of this study was to assess the AmpFire Multiplex HR-HPV tests, for the detection and genotyping of 15 high-risk (HR) HPV types in formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded (FFPE) samples and identify HPV-driven OPSCC. DNA from 160 OPSCC FFPE specimens plus 23 samples from other head and neck primary sites was tested. Results were compared with those obtained using Linear Array HPV-DNA Genotyping Test. Linear Array and AmpFire Multiplex HR-HPV tests showed, for all samples and specifically for OPSCCs, an overall concordance agreement of 98.9% and 99.4% and a Cohen ¿ coefficient of 0.972 and 0.984, respectively. A concordance of 100% for HPV16 and HPV18 was observed. The overall agreement between p16INK4a overexpression and HPV detection by the AmpFire Multiplex HR-HPV assay in 145 OPSCC samples was 93.8%, with a Cohen ¿ coefficient of 0.848. The AmpFire HPV Tests are simple assays for detection and genotyping of HPV-DNA in OPSCC FFPE samples and can be easily implemented in the clinical practice setting for HPV-DNA detection.
