A phase I/II study of bevacizumab, irinotecan and erlotinib in children with progressive diffuse intrinsic pontine glioma.

INTRODUCTION: This study investigates the safety, tolerability, and preliminary efficacy of combined treatment with VEGF inhibitor bevacizumab, topoisomerase I inhibitor irinotecan, and EGFR inhibitor erlotinib in children with progressive diffuse intrinsic pontine glioma (DIPG). METHODS: Biweekly bevacizumab (10 mg/kg) and irinotecan (125 mg/m2) were combined with daily erlotinib. Two cohorts received increasing doses of erlotinib (65 and 85 mg/m2) following a 3 + 3 dose-escalation schedule, until disease progression with a maximum of one year. Dose-limiting toxicities (DLT) were monitored biweekly. Secondary progression free survival (sPFS) and overall survival (OS) were determined based on clinical and radiological response measurements. Quality of life (QoL) during treatment was also assessed. RESULTS: Between November 2011 and March 2018, nine patients with disease progression after initial radiotherapy were enrolled. Median PFS at start of the study was 7.3 months (range 3.5-10.0). In the first dose cohort, one patient experienced a DLT (grade III acute diarrhea), resulting in enrollment of three additional patients in this cohort. No additional DLTs were observed in consecutive patients receiving up to a maximum dose of 85 mg/m2. Median sPFS was 3.2 months (range 1.0-10.9), and median OS was 13.8 months (range 9.3-33.0). Overall QoL was stable during treatment. CONCLUSIONS: Daily erlotinib is safe and well tolerated in doses up to 85 mg/m2 when combined with biweekly bevacizumab and irinotecan in children with progressive DIPG. Median OS of the study patients was longer than known form literature.

Complementary and alternative medicine in children with diffuse intrinsic pontine glioma-A SIOPE DIPG Network and Registry study.

INTRODUCTION: Diffuse intrinsic pontine glioma (DIPG) is a rare and aggressive childhood brainstem malignancy with a 2-year survival rate of <10%. This international survey study aims to evaluate the use of complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) in this patient population. METHODS: Parents and physicians of patients with DIPG were asked to participate in a retrospective online survey regarding CAM use during time of illness. RESULTS: Between January and May 2020, 120 parents and 75 physicians contributed to the online survey. Most physicians estimated that <50% of their patients used CAM, whereas 69% of the parents reported using CAM to treat their child during time of illness. Cannabis was the most frequently used form of CAM, followed by vitamins and minerals, melatonin, curcumin, and boswellic acid. CAM was mainly used with the intention of direct antitumor effect. Other motivations were to treat side effects of chemotherapy or to increase comfort of the child. Children diagnosed from 2016 onwards were more likely to use CAM (χ2  = 6.08, p = .014). No significant difference was found between CAM users and nonusers based on ethnicity (χ2  = 4.18, p = .382) or country of residence (χ2  = 9.37, p = .154). Almost 50% of the physicians do not frequently ask their patients about possible CAM use. CONCLUSION: This survey demonstrates that worldwide, a considerable number of patients with DIPG use CAM. Physicians should be more aware of potential CAM use and actively discuss the topic. In addition, more research is needed to gain knowledge about possible anticancer effects of CAM and (positive/negative) interactions with conventional therapies.

The Added Value of Diagnostic and Theranostic PET Imaging for the Treatment of CNS Tumors.

This review highlights the added value of PET imaging in Central Nervous System (CNS) tumors, which is a tool that has rapidly evolved from a merely diagnostic setting to multimodal molecular diagnostics and the guidance of targeted therapy. PET is the method of choice for studying target expression and target binding behind the assumedly intact blood-brain barrier. Today, a variety of diagnostic PET tracers can be used for the primary staging of CNS tumors and to determine the effect of therapy. Additionally, theranostic PET tracers are increasingly used in the context of pharmaceutical and radiopharmaceutical drug development and application. In this approach, a single targeted drug is used for PET diagnosis, upon the coupling of a PET radionuclide, as well as for targeted (nuclide) therapy. Theranostic PET tracers have the potential to serve as a non-invasive whole body navigator in the selection of the most effective drug candidates and their most optimal dose and administration route, together with the potential to serve as a predictive biomarker in the selection of patients who are most likely to benefit from treatment. PET imaging supports the transition from trial and error medicine to predictive, preventive, and personalized medicine, hopefully leading to improved quality of life for patients and more cost-effective care.

Diagnostics and treatment of diffuse intrinsic pontine glioma: where do we stand?

INTRODUCTION: Diffuse intrinsic pontine glioma (DIPG) is a rare clinically, neuro-radiologically, and molecularly defined malignancy of the brainstem with a median overall survival of approximately 11 months. Our aim is to evaluate the current tendency for its treatment in Europe in order to develop (inter)national consensus guidelines. METHODS: Healthcare professionals specialized in DIPG were asked to fill in an online survey with questions regarding usual treatment strategies at diagnosis and at disease progression in their countries and/or their centers, respectively. RESULTS: Seventy-four healthcare professionals responded to the survey, of which 87.8% were pediatric oncologists. Only 13.5% of the respondents biopsy all of their patients, 41.9% biopsy their patients infrequently. More than half of the respondents (54.1%) treated their patients with radiotherapy only at diagnosis, whereas 44.6% preferred radiotherapy combined with chemotherapy. When the disease progresses, treatment strategies became even more diverse, and the tendency for no treatment increased from 1.4% at diagnosis to 77.0% after second progression. 36.5% of the healthcare professionals treat children younger than 3 years differently than older children at diagnosis. This percentage decreased, when the disease progresses. Most of the participants (51.4%) included less than 25% of their patients in clinical trials. CONCLUSION: This survey demonstrates a large heterogeneity of treatment regimens, especially at disease progression. We emphasize the need for international consensus guidelines for the treatment of DIPG, possible by more collaborative clinical trials.

Correction to: A suggestion to introduce the diagnosis of "diffuse midline glioma of the pons, H3 K27 wildtype (WHO grade IV)".

The citation of the original publication in PubMed contains an error. The seventh author name is wrongly cited.

Correction to: A phase I/II study of gemcitabine during radiotherapy in children with newly diagnosed diffuse intrinsic pontine glioma.

In Table 2 of the original publication, there were errors in the baseline scores for the PedsQL TM 3.0 Cancer Module questionnaire, so a corrected version of Table 2 is shown in this erratum. In the subcategories of the PedsQL TM 3.0 Cancer Module questionnaire, nausea and fear of procedure did not score significantly lower after treatment compared to baseline. So, based on the corrected data in Table 2, there was no significant decrease in the total score of the cancer questionnaire, and this statement in the previous manuscript was incorrect.

A phase I/II study of gemcitabine during radiotherapy in children with newly diagnosed diffuse intrinsic pontine glioma.

The purpose of this phase I/II, open-label, single-arm trial is to investigate the safety, tolerability, maximum tolerated dose and preliminary efficacy of the potential radiosensitizer gemcitabine, administered concomitantly to radiotherapy, in children with newly diagnosed diffuse intrinsic pontine glioma (DIPG). Six doses of weekly gemcitabine were administered intravenously, concomitantly to 6 weeks of hyperfractionated radiotherapy. Successive cohorts received increasing doses of 140, 175 and 200 mg/m2 gemcitabine, respectively, following a 3 + 3 dose-escalation schedule without expansion cohort. Dose-limiting toxicities (DLT) were monitored during treatment period. Clinical response was assessed using predefined case report forms and radiological response was assessed using the modified RANO criteria. Quality of life (QoL) was assessed using PedsQL questionnaires. Between June 2012 and December 2016, nine patients were enrolled. Treatment was well tolerated, and no DLTs were observed up to the maximum dose of 200 mg/m2. All patients experienced reduction of tumor-related symptoms. QoL tended to improve during treatment. PFS and MOS were 4.8 months (95% CI 4.0-5.7) and 8.7 months (95% CI 7.0-10.4). Classifying patients according to the recently developed DIPG survival prediction model, intermediate risk patients (n = 4), showed a PFS and MOS of 6.4 and 12.4 months, respectively, versus a PFS and MOS of 4.5 and 8.1 months, respectively, in high risk patient (n = 5). Gemcitabine up to 200 mg/m2/once weekly, added to radiotherapy, is safe and well tolerated in children with newly diagnosed DIPG. PFS and MOS were not significantly different from literature.

External validation of the diffuse intrinsic pontine glioma survival prediction model: a collaborative report from the International DIPG Registry and the SIOPE DIPG Registry.

We aimed to perform external validation of the recently developed survival prediction model for diffuse intrinsic pontine glioma (DIPG), and discuss its utility. The DIPG survival prediction model was developed in a cohort of patients from the Netherlands, United Kingdom and Germany, registered in the SIOPE DIPG Registry, and includes age <3 years, longer symptom duration and receipt of chemotherapy as favorable predictors, and presence of ring-enhancement on MRI as unfavorable predictor. Model performance was evaluated by analyzing the discrimination and calibration abilities. External validation was performed using an unselected cohort from the International DIPG Registry, including patients from United States, Canada, Australia and New Zealand. Basic comparison with the results of the original study was performed using descriptive statistics, and univariate- and multivariable regression analyses in the validation cohort. External validation was assessed following a variety of analyses described previously. Baseline patient characteristics and results from the regression analyses were largely comparable. Kaplan-Meier curves of the validation cohort reproduced separated groups of standard (n = 39), intermediate (n = 125), and high-risk (n = 78) patients. This discriminative ability was confirmed by similar values for the hazard ratios across these risk groups. The calibration curve in the validation cohort showed a symmetric underestimation of the predicted survival probabilities. In this external validation study, we demonstrate that the DIPG survival prediction model has acceptable cross-cohort calibration and is able to discriminate patients with short, average, and increased survival. We discuss how this clinico-radiological model may serve a useful role in current clinical practice.

The international diffuse intrinsic pontine glioma registry: an infrastructure to accelerate collaborative research for an orphan disease.

Diffuse intrinsic pontine glioma (DIPG), a rare, often fatal childhood brain tumor, remains a major therapeutic challenge. In 2012, investigators, funded by the DIPG Collaborative (a philanthropic partnership among 29 private foundations), launched the International DIPG Registry (IDIPGR) to advance understanding of DIPG. Comprised of comprehensive deidentified but linked clinical, imaging, histopathological, and genomic repositories, the IDIPGR uses standardized case report forms for uniform data collection; serial imaging and histopathology are centrally reviewed by IDIPGR neuro-radiologists and neuro-pathologists, respectively. Tissue and genomic data, and cell cultures derived from autopsies coordinated by the IDIPGR are available to investigators for studies approved by the Scientific Advisory Committee. From April 2012 to December 2016, 670 patients diagnosed with DIPG have been enrolled from 55 participating institutions in the US, Canada, Australia and New Zealand. The radiology repository contains 3558 studies from 448 patients. The pathology repository contains tissue on 81 patients with another 98 samples available for submission. Fresh DIPG tissue from seven autopsies has been sent to investigators to develop primary cell cultures. The bioinformatics repository contains next-generation sequencing data on 66 tumors. Nine projects using data/tissue from the IDIPGR by 13 principle investigators from around the world are now underway. The IDIPGR, a successful alliance among philanthropic agencies and investigators, has developed and maintained a highly collaborative, hypothesis-driven research infrastructure for interdisciplinary and translational projects in DIPG to improve diagnosis, response assessment, treatment and outcome for patients.

Development of the SIOPE DIPG network, registry and imaging repository: a collaborative effort to optimize research into a rare and lethal disease.

Diffuse intrinsic pontine glioma (DIPG) is a rare and deadly childhood malignancy. After 40 years of mostly single-center, often non-randomized trials with variable patient inclusions, there has been no improvement in survival. It is therefore time for international collaboration in DIPG research, to provide new hope for children, parents and medical professionals fighting DIPG. In a first step towards collaboration, in 2011, a network of biologists and clinicians working in the field of DIPG was established within the European Society for Paediatric Oncology (SIOPE) Brain Tumour Group: the SIOPE DIPG Network. By bringing together biomedical professionals and parents as patient representatives, several collaborative DIPG-related projects have been realized. With help from experts in the fields of information technology, and legal advisors, an international, web-based comprehensive database was developed, The SIOPE DIPG Registry and Imaging Repository, to centrally collect data of DIPG patients. As for April 2016, clinical data as well as MR-scans of 694 patients have been entered into the SIOPE DIPG Registry/Imaging Repository. The median progression free survival is 6.0 months (95% Confidence Interval (CI) 5.6-6.4 months) and the median overall survival is 11.0 months (95% CI 10.5-11.5 months). At two and five years post-diagnosis, 10 and 2% of patients are alive, respectively. The establishment of the SIOPE DIPG Network and SIOPE DIPG Registry means a paradigm shift towards collaborative research into DIPG. This is seen as an essential first step towards understanding the disease, improving care and (ultimately) cure for children with DIPG.

State of affairs in use of steroids in diffuse intrinsic pontine glioma: an international survey and a review of the literature.

Children diagnosed with diffuse intrinsic pontine glioma (DIPG) face a dismal prognosis, with severe neurologic deterioration and inevitable death at a median of 9 months from diagnosis. Steroids are widely prescribed as supportive or palliative treatment although they are known to cause severe side effects that may reduce the quality of life. This study aims to review the current knowledge on, and use of, steroids in DIPG patients. A global questionnaire-study among health care professionals was performed to ascertain information on the current (multi-)institutional and (multi-)national use of steroids, the availability of clinical guidelines, and the need for improvements in prescribing steroids to DIPG patients. In addition, an extensive literature search was performed to review studies investigating steroids in pediatric brain tumor patients. From 150 responding health care professionals, only 7 % had clinical guidelines. The use of steroids was heterogeneous and over 85 % of respondents reported serious side effects. Fourteen articles, with low level of evidence, described the use of steroids in pediatric brain tumor patients. Clinical trials investigating optimal dose or regimen were lacking. This study is a first inventory of the availability of evidence-based information and clinical guidelines, and the current attitude towards the use of steroids in DIPG patients. To date, the risk-benefit ratio of steroids in this disease is yet to be determined. We emphasize the need for clinical trials resulting in guidelines on steroids, and possibly alternative drugs, to optimize the quality of care and quality of life of DIPG patients.

[18F]FET PET/MRI: An Accurate Technique for Detection of Small Functional Pituitary Tumors.

Small functional pituitary tumors can cause severely disabling symptoms and early death. The gold standard diagnostic approach includes laboratory tests and MRI, with or without inferior petrosal sinus sampling (IPSS). In up to 40% of patients, however, the source of excess hormone production remains unidentified or uncertain. This excludes patients from surgical, Gamma Knife, and CyberKnife therapy and adversely affects overall cure rates. We here assess the diagnostic yield of O-(2-[18F]fluoroethyl)-l-tyrosine ([18F]FET) PET/MRI for detection of small functional pituitary tumors in these patients. Methods: This retrospective analysis included patients with Cushing disease (CD) but prior negative or inconclusive MRI results who underwent [18F]FET PET/MRI between February 1, 2021, and December 1, 2022. PET/MR images and MR images alone were evaluated by experienced nuclear radiologists, neuroradiologists, or radiologists. Postoperative tissue analysis (when performed) was used as a reference standard to assess diagnostic metrics (i.e., sensitivity and positive predictive value). Results were also compared with previously obtained MR images, preceding IPSS, and clinical or biochemical follow-up. Results: Twenty-two patients (68% female; mean age ± SD, 48 ± 15 y; range, 24-68 y) were scanned. All patients showed a clear metabolic focus on [18F]FET PET, whereas reading of the MRI alone yielded a suspected lesion in only 50%. Fifteen patients underwent surgery directed at the [18F]FET-positive focus. Tissue analysis confirmed a pituitary adenoma/pituitary neuroendocrine tumor of the corticotroph cell type (TPIT lineage) in 10 of 15 and a pituicytoma in 1 of 15, rendering a sensitivity of 100% and a positive predictive value of 73%. Lateralization was more accurate with [18F]FET PET/MRI than with IPSS in 33%. Twelve of 16 (75%) patients who received surgical, Gamma Knife, or CyberKnife therapy after [18F]FET PET/MRI reached short-term remission. Conclusion: [18F]FET PET/MRI shows a high diagnostic yield for localizing small functional pituitary tumors. This multimodal imaging technique provides a welcome improvement for diagnosis, planning of surgery, and clinical outcome in patients with Cushing disease, particularly those with repeated negative or inconclusive MRI results with or without IPSS.

Gemcitabine therapeutically disrupts essential SIRT1-mediated p53 repression in atypical teratoid/rhabdoid tumors.

Atypical teratoid/rhabdoid tumors (ATRTs) are highly malignant embryonal tumors of the central nervous system with a dismal prognosis. Using a newly developed and validated patient-derived ATRT culture and xenograft model, alongside a panel of primary ATRT models, we found that ATRTs are selectively sensitive to the nucleoside analog gemcitabine. Gene expression and protein analyses indicate that gemcitabine treatment causes the degradation of sirtuin 1 (SIRT1), resulting in cell death through activation of nuclear factor κB (NF-κB) and p53. Furthermore, we discovered that gemcitabine-induced loss of SIRT1 results in a nucleus-to-cytoplasm translocation of the sonic hedgehog (SHH) signaling activator GLI2, explaining the observed additional gemcitabine sensitivity in SHH-subtype ATRT. Treatment of ATRT xenograft-bearing mice with gemcitabine resulted in a >30% increase in median survival and yielded long-term survivors in two independent patient-derived xenograft models. These findings demonstrate that ATRTs are highly sensitive to gemcitabine treatment and may form part of a future multimodal treatment strategy for ATRTs.

Potential of PSMA-targeting radioligand therapy for malignant primary and secondary brain tumours using super-selective intra-arterial administration: a single centre, open label, non-randomised prospective imaging study.

BACKGROUND: The aim of this study was to provide quantitative evidence for the potential of PSMA-targeting radioligand therapy (RLT) as treatment approach for malignant brain tumours, and to explore whether tumour uptake could be enhanced by super-selective intra-arterial (ssIA)-administration. METHODS: Ten patients (n = 5 high-grade glioma, n = 5 brain metastasis) received 1.5 MBq/kg [68Ga]Ga-PSMA-11 intravenously and, within 7 days, intra-arterially (i.e., selectively in tumour-feeding arteries), followed twice by PET-MRI at 90, 165 and 240 min post-injection. Patient safety was monitored for each procedure. Standardised uptake values (SUVs) were obtained for tumour, healthy-brain, salivary glands and liver. Tumour-to-salivary-gland (T/SG) and tumour-to-liver (T/L) uptake-ratios were calculated. FINDINGS: No adverse events requiring study termination occurred. All patients showed uptake of [68Ga]Ga-PSMA-11 at the tumour site. Uptake was a median 15-fold higher following ssIA-administration (SUVmax median: 142.8, IQR: 102.8-245.9) compared to IV-administration (10.5, IQR:7.5-13.0). According to the bootstrap analysis, mean SUVmax after ssIA (168.8, 95% CI: 110.6-227.0) was well beyond the 95% confidence-interval of IV administration (10.5, 95% CI: 8.4-12.7). Uptake in healthy-brain was negligible, independent of administration route (SUVmean <0.1-0.1). Off-target uptake was comparable, resulting in more favourable T/SG- and T/L-ratios of 8.4 (IQR: 4.4-11.5) and 26.5 (IQR: 14.0-46.4) following ssIA, versus 0.5 (IQR: 0.4-0.7) and 1.8 (IQR: 1.0-2.7) for IV-administration. INTERPRETATION: ssIA-administration is safe and leads to a median fifteen-fold higher radioligand uptake at the tumour site, therewith qualifying more patients for treatment and enhancing the potential of therapy. These results open new avenues for the development of effective RLT-based treatment strategies for patients with brain tumours. FUNDING: Semmy Foundation.

The impact of tau-PET in a selected memory clinic cohort: rationale and design of the TAP-TAU study.

BACKGROUND: Tau-PET is a diagnostic tool with high sensitivity and specificity for discriminating Alzheimer's disease (AD) dementia from other neurodegenerative disorders in well-controlled research environments. The role of tau-PET in real-world clinical practice, however, remains to be established. The aim of the TAP-TAU study is therefore to investigate the impact of tau-PET in clinical practice. METHODS: TAP-TAU is a prospective, longitudinal multi-center study in 300 patients (≥ 50 years old) with mild cognitive impairment or mild dementia across five Dutch memory clinics. Patients are eligible if diagnostic certainty is < 85% after routine dementia screening and if the differential diagnosis includes AD. More specifically, we will include patients who (i) are suspected of having mixed pathology (e.g., AD and vascular pathology), (ii) have an atypical clinical presentation, and/or (iii) show conflicting or inconclusive outcomes on other tests (e.g., magnetic resonance imaging or cerebrospinal fluid). Participants will undergo a [18F]flortaucipir tau-PET scan, blood-based biomarker sampling, and fill out questionnaires on patient reported outcomes and experiences. The primary outcomes are change (pre- versus post- tau-PET) in diagnosis, diagnostic certainty, patient management and patient anxiety and uncertainty. Secondary outcome measures are head-to-head comparisons between tau-PET and less invasive and lower cost diagnostic tools such as novel blood-based biomarkers and artificial intelligence-based classifiers. RESULTS: TAP-TAU has been approved by the Medical Ethics Committee of the Amsterdam UMC. The first participant is expected to be included in October 2024. CONCLUSIONS: In TAP-TAU, we will investigate the added clinical value of tau-PET in a real-world clinical setting, including memory clinic patients with diagnostic uncertainty after routine work-up. Findings of our study may contribute to recommendations regarding which patients would benefit most from assessment with tau-PET. This study is timely in the dawning era of disease modifying treatments as an accurate etiological diagnosis becomes increasingly important. TRIAL REGISTRATION: This trial is registered and authorized on December 21st, 2023 in EU Clinical Trials with registration number 2023-505430-10-00.

FAPI PET versus FDG PET, CT or MRI for Staging Pancreatic-, Gastric- and Cholangiocarcinoma: Systematic Review and Head-to-Head Comparisons of Diagnostic Performances.

INTRODUCTION: There is a pressing demand for the development of cancer-specific diagnostic imaging tools, particularly for staging of pancreatic-, gastric- or cholangiocarcinoma, as current diagnostic imaging techniques, including CT, MRI and PET using FDG, are not fully adequate. The novel PET-tracer "FAPI" has the potential to visualize even small tumour deposits employing the tumour-specific expression of fibroblast-activating protein (FAP) in malignant cells. METHODS: We performed a systematic review to select studies investigating the use of FAPI PET for staging pancreatic-, gastric- and cholangiocarcinoma (PROSPERO CRD42022329512). Patient-wise and lesion-wise comparisons were performed for primary tumour (T), lymph nodes (N), organ metastases (M) and peritoneal carcinomatosis (PC). Maximum standardized uptake values (SUVmax) and tumour-to-background ratios (TBR) were compared between PET using FAPI versus FDG (if reported). RESULTS: Ten articles met the inclusion criteria. In all studies, FAPI PET showed superiority over FDG-PET/CT/MRI for the detection of T, N, M and PC, both in the patient-wise and in lesion-wise comparisons (when performed). Additionally, higher SUVmax and TBRmax values were reported for use of FAPI compared to FDG. CONCLUSIONS: The positive results of this review warrant prospective clinical studies to investigate the accuracy and clinical value of FAPI PET for diagnosing and staging patients with pancreatic-, gastric- and cholangiocarcinoma.

Noninvasive differentiation of molecular subtypes of adult nonenhancing glioma using MRI perfusion and diffusion parameters.

Background: Nonenhancing glioma typically have a favorable outcome, but approximately 19-44% have a highly aggressive course due to a glioblastoma genetic profile. The aim of this retrospective study is to use physiological MRI parameters of both perfusion and diffusion to distinguish the molecular profiles of glioma without enhancement at presentation. Methods: Ninety-nine patients with nonenhancing glioma were included, in whom molecular status (including 1p/19q codeletion status and IDH mutation) and preoperative MRI (T2w/FLAIR, dynamic susceptibility-weighted, and diffusion-weighted imaging) were available. Tumors were segmented semiautomatically using ITK-SNAP to derive whole tumor histograms of relative Cerebral Blood Volume (rCBV) and Apparent Diffusion Coefficient (ADC). Tumors were divided into three clinically relevant molecular profiles: IDH mutation (IDHmt) with (n = 40) or without (n = 41) 1p/19q codeletion, and (n = 18) IDH-wildtype (IDHwt). ANOVA, Kruskal-Wallis, and Chi-Square analyses were performed using SPSS. Results: rCBV (mean, median, 75th and 85th percentile) and ADC (mean, median, 15th and 25th percentile) showed significant differences across molecular profiles (P < .01). Posthoc analyses revealed that IDHwt and IDHmt 1p/19q codeleted tumors showed significantly higher rCBV compared to IDHmt 1p/19q intact tumors: mean rCBV (mean, SD) 1.46 (0.59) and 1.35 (0.39) versus 1.08 (0.31), P < .05. Also, IDHwt tumors showed significantly lower ADC compared to IDHmt 1p/19q codeleted and IDHmt 1p/19q intact tumors: mean ADC (mean, SD) 1.13 (0.23) versus 1.27 (0.15) and 1.45 (0.20), P < .001). Conclusions: A combination of low ADC and high rCBV, reflecting high cellularity and high perfusion respectively, separates IDHwt from in particular IDHmt 1p/19q intact glioma.
