Clinical, Radiologic, Pathologic, and Molecular Characteristics of Long-Term Survivors of Diffuse Intrinsic Pontine Glioma (DIPG): A Collaborative Report From the International and European Society for Pediatric Oncology DIPG Registries.

ABSTRACT: Purpose Diffuse intrinsic pontine glioma (DIPG) is a brainstem malignancy with a median survival of < 1 year. The International and European Society for Pediatric Oncology DIPG Registries collaborated to compare clinical, radiologic, and histomolecular characteristics between short-term survivors (STSs) and long-term survivors (LTSs). Materials and Methods Data abstracted from registry databases included patients from North America, Australia, Germany, Austria, Switzerland, the Netherlands, Italy, France, the United Kingdom, and Croatia. Results Among 1,130 pediatric and young adults with radiographically confirmed DIPG, 122 (11%) were excluded. Of the 1,008 remaining patients, 101 (10%) were LTSs (survival ≥ 2 years). Median survival time was 11 months (interquartile range, 7.5 to 16 months), and 1-, 2-, 3-, 4-, and 5-year survival rates were 42.3% (95% CI, 38.1% to 44.1%), 9.6% (95% CI, 7.8% to 11.3%), 4.3% (95% CI, 3.2% to 5.8%), 3.2% (95% CI, 2.4% to 4.6%), and 2.2% (95% CI, 1.4% to 3.4%), respectively. LTSs, compared with STSs, more commonly presented at age < 3 or > 10 years (11% v 3% and 33% v 23%, respectively; P < .001) and with longer symptom duration ( P < .001). STSs, compared with LTSs, more commonly presented with cranial nerve palsy (83% v 73%, respectively; P = .008), ring enhancement (38% v 23%, respectively; P = .007), necrosis (42% v 26%, respectively; P = .009), and extrapontine extension (92% v 86%, respectively; P = .04). LTSs more commonly received systemic therapy at diagnosis (88% v 75% for STSs; P = .005). Biopsies and autopsies were performed in 299 patients (30%) and 77 patients (10%), respectively; 181 tumors (48%) were molecularly characterized. LTSs were more likely to harbor a HIST1H3B mutation (odds ratio, 1.28; 95% CI, 1.1 to 1.5; P = .002). Conclusion We report clinical, radiologic, and molecular factors that correlate with survival in children and young adults with DIPG, which are important for risk stratification in future clinical trials.

Project description:Abstract PURPOSE: To correlate MR imaging findings with molecular analyses in DIPG. METHODS: Baseline MR imaging studies, including standard pre- and post-contrast MR sequences, were reviewed from patients included in our multi-institutional, IRB-approved DIPG trial NCT01182350. Prospectively acquired imaging data were analyzed after study closure, including FLAIR/T2 tumor volume; tumor volume enhancement and cyst/necrosis; median, mean, mode, skewness, and kurtosis of apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) tumor volume based on both FLAIR and enhancement at baseline. Whole-genome and RNA-sequencing identified histone mutations. We applied univariate Cox proportional-hazards regression modeling to test the association of imaging predictors with overall (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS). Wilcoxon rank-sum, Kruskal-Wallis, and Fisher’s exact tests compared imaging measures between groups. RESULTS: Fifty patients underwent biopsy and MRI. Median age at trial registration was 6 years (range,3.3–17.5 years); 52% of patients were female. Molecular subgroup study assignments for 48 patients’ tumors were as follows: 28 in MGMT-/EGFR-, 14 in MGMT-/EGFR+, 3 in MGMT+/EGFR-, and 3 in MGMT+/EGFR+. Further genetic testing identified mutations in histones, PDGFRA, ACVR1, TP53, EGFR, PPM1D, FGFR, and/or PI3K. Twenty-three tumors possessed histone mutations in H3F3A, 8 in HIST1H3B, and 3 in HISTH3C. Median follow-up time was 11 months (range,0.4–33 months). Poorer OS (p=0.01) and PFS (p=0.001) were significantly associated with increased enhancing tumor volume. Enhancing tumor volume also differed significantly across molecular subgroups (p=0.047). Tumor enhancement, mode, skewness, and kurtosis ADC-FLAIR differed significantly (p?0.048) between patients with H3F3A and HIST1H3B mutations. Tumor enhancement, median, mode, skewness, and kurtosis ADC-FLAIR also differed significantly (p?0.048) between patients with H3F3A and HIST1H3B or HISTH3C mutations. CONCLUSIONS: MR imaging features including enhancement and ADC histogram parameters correlate to molecular subgroups in DIPG. Further studies are required to verify and refine these findings in a larger cohort.
