RESUMEN
BACKGROUND: We previously reported that tumor 3D volume growth rate (3DVGR) classification could help in the assessment of drug activity in patients with meningioma using 3 main classes and a total of 5 subclasses: class 1: decrease; 2: stabilization or severe slowdown; 3: progression. The EORTC-BTG-1320 clinical trial was a randomized phase II trial evaluating the efficacy of trabectedin for recurrent WHO 2 or 3 meningioma. Our objective was to evaluate the discriminative value of 3DVGR classification in the EORTC-BTG-1320. METHODS: All patients with at least 1 available MRI before trial inclusion were included. 3D volume was evaluated on consecutive MRI until progression. 2D imaging response was centrally assessed by MRI modified Macdonald criteria. Clinical benefit was defined as neurological or functional status improvement or steroid decrease or discontinuation. RESULTS: Sixteen patients with a median age of 58.5 years were included. Best 3DVGR classes were: 1, 2A, 3A, and 3B in 2 (16.7%), 4 (33.3%), 2 (16.7%), and 4 (33.3%) patients, respectively. All patients with progression-free survival longer than 6 months had best 3DVGR class 1 or 2. 3DVGR classes 1 and 2 (combined) had a median overall survival of 34.7 months versus 7.2 months for class 3 (Pâ =â .061). All class 1 patients (2/2), 75% of class 2 patients (3/4), and only 10% of class 3 patients (1/10) had clinical benefit. CONCLUSIONS: Tumor 3DVGR classification may be helpful to identify early signals of treatment activity in meningioma clinical trials.

Accurate grading of IDH-mutant gliomas defines patient prognosis and guides the treatment path. Histological grading is however difficult and, apart from CDKN2A/B homozygous deletions in IDH-mutant astrocytomas, there are no other objective molecular markers used for grading. Experimental Design: RNA-sequencing was conducted on primary IDH-mutant astrocytomas (n=138) included in the prospective CATNON trial, which was performed to assess the prognostic effect of adjuvant and concurrent temozolomide. We integrated the RNA sequencing data with matched DNA-methylation and NGS data. We also used multi-omics data from IDH-mutant astrocytomas included in the TCGA dataset and validated results on matched primary and recurrent samples from the GLASS-NL study. We used the DNA-methylation profiles to generate a Continuous Grading Coefficient (CGC) that is based on classification scores derived from a CNS-tumor classifier. We found that the CGC was an independent predictor of survival outperforming current WHO-CNS5 and methylation-based classification. Our RNA-sequencing analysis revealed four distinct transcription clusters that were associated with i) an upregulation of cell cycling genes; ii) a downregulation of glial differentiation genes; iii) an upregulation of embryonic development genes (e.g. HOX, PAX and TBX) and iv) an upregulation of extracellular matrix genes. The upregulation of embryonic development genes was associated with a specific increase of CpG island methylation near these genes.
