Treatment Response Assessment in IDH-Mutant Glioma Patients by Noninvasive 3D Functional Spectroscopic Mapping of 2-Hydroxyglutarate.

ABSTRACT: Measurements of objective response rates are critical to evaluate new glioma therapies. The hallmark metabolic alteration in gliomas with mutant isocitrate dehydrogenase (IDH) is the overproduction of oncometabolite 2-hydroxyglutarate (2HG), which plays a key role in malignant transformation. 2HG represents an ideal biomarker to probe treatment response in IDH-mutant glioma patients, and we hypothesized a decrease in 2HG levels would be measureable by in vivo magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS) as a result of antitumor therapy.We report a prospective longitudinal imaging study performed in 25 IDH-mutant glioma patients receiving adjuvant radiation and chemotherapy. A newly developed 3D MRS imaging was used to noninvasively image 2HG. Paired Student t test was used to compare pre- and posttreatment tumor 2HG values. Test-retest measurements were performed to determine the threshold for 2HG functional spectroscopic maps (fSM). Univariate and multivariate regression were performed to correlate 2HG changes with Karnofsky performance score (KPS).We found that mean 2HG (2HG/Cre) levels decreased significantly (median = 48.1%; 95% confidence interval = 27.3%-56.5%;P= 0.007) in the posttreatment scan. The volume of decreased 2HG correlates (R(2)= 0.88,P= 0.002) with clinical status evaluated by KPS.We demonstrate that dynamic measurements of 2HG are feasible by 3D fSM, and the decrease of 2HG levels can monitor treatment response in patients with IDH-mutant gliomas. Our results indicate that quantitative in vivo 2HG imaging may be used for precision medicine and early response assessment in clinical trials of therapies targeting IDH-mutant gliomas.

Project description:PurposePrognostically favorable IDH-mutant gliomas are known to produce oncometabolite D-2-hydroxyglutarate (2HG). In this study, we investigated metabolite-based features of patients with grade 2 and 3 glioma using 2HG-specific in vivo MR spectroscopy, to determine their relationship with image-guided tissue pathology and predictive role in progression-free survival (PFS).MethodsForty-five patients received pre-operative MRIs that included 3-D spectroscopy optimized for 2HG detection. Spectral data were reconstructed and quantified to compare metabolite levels according to molecular pathology (IDH1R132H, 1p/19q, and p53); glioma grade; histological subtype; and T2 lesion versus normal-appearing white matter (NAWM) ROIs. Levels of 2HG were correlated with other metabolites and pathological parameters (cellularity, MIB-1) from image-guided tissue samples using Pearson's correlation test. Metabolites predictive of PFS were evaluated with Cox proportional hazards models.ResultsQuantifiable levels of 2HG in 39/42 (93%) IDH+ and 1/3 (33%) IDH- patients indicated a 91.1% apparent detection accuracy. Myo-inositol/total choline (tCho) showed reduced values in astrocytic (1p/19q-wildtype), p53-mutant, and grade 3 (vs. 2) IDH-mutant gliomas (p < 0.05), all of which exhibited higher proportions of astrocytomas. Compared to NAWM, T2 lesions displayed elevated 2HG+ γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA)/total creatine (tCr) (p < 0.001); reduced glutamate/tCr (p < 0.001); increased myo-inositol/tCr (p < 0.001); and higher tCho/tCr (p < 0.001). Levels of 2HG at sampled tissue locations were significantly associated with tCho (R = 0.62; p = 0.002), total NAA (R = - 0.61; p = 0.002) and cellularity (R = 0.37; p = 0.04) but not MIB-1. Increasing levels of 2HG/tCr (p = 0.0007, HR 5.594) and thresholding (≥ 0.905, median value; p = 0.02) predicted adverse PFS.ConclusionIn vivo 2HG detection can reasonably be achieved on clinical scanners and increased levels may signal adverse PFS.
