A validated integrated clinical and molecular glioblastoma long-term survival-predictive nomogram.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Glioblastoma (GBM) is the most common primary malignant brain tumor in adulthood. Despite multimodality treatments, including maximal safe resection followed by irradiation and chemotherapy, the median overall survival times range from 14 to 16 months. However, a small subset of GBM patients live beyond 5 years and are thus considered long-term survivors.

Methods

A retrospective analysis of the clinical, radiographic, and molecular features of patients with newly diagnosed primary GBM who underwent treatment at The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center was conducted. Eighty patients had sufficient quantity and quality of tissue available for next-generation sequencing and immunohistochemical analysis. Factors associated with survival time were identified using proportional odds ordinal regression. We constructed a survival-predictive nomogram using a forward stepwise model that we subsequently validated using The Cancer Genome Atlas.

Results

Univariate analysis revealed 3 pivotal genetic alterations associated with GBM survival: both high tumor mutational burden (P = .0055) and PTEN mutations (P = .0235) negatively impacted survival, whereas IDH1 mutations positively impacted survival (P < .0001). Clinical factors significantly associated with GBM survival included age (P < .0001), preoperative Karnofsky Performance Scale score (P = .0001), sex (P = .0164), and clinical trial participation (P < .0001). Higher preoperative T1-enhancing volume (P = .0497) was associated with shorter survival. The ratio of TI-enhancing to nonenhancing disease (T1/T2 ratio) also significantly impacted survival (P = .0022).

Conclusions

Our newly devised long-term survival-predictive nomogram based on clinical and genomic data can be used to advise patients regarding their potential outcomes and account for confounding factors in nonrandomized clinical trials.

Project description:BackgroundPrimary gastric lymphoma (PGL) is the most common extranodal non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL). Due to the rarity of the disease, it is important to create a predictive model that provides treatment and prognosis for patients with PGL and physicians.MethodsA total of 8898 and 127 patients diagnosed with PGL were obtained from the SEER database and from our Cancer Center as training and validation cohorts, respectively. Univariate and multivariate Cox proportional hazards models were used to investigate independent risk factors for the construction of predictive survival nomograms, and a web nomogram was developed for the dynamic prediction of survival of patients with PGL. The concordance index (C-index), calibration plot, and receiver operating characteristics (ROC) curve were used to evaluate and validate the nomogram models.ResultsThere were 8898 PGL patients in the SEER cohort, most of whom were married men over the age of 60, 16.1% of the primary tumors were localized in the antrum and pylori of the stomach, which was similar to the composition of 127 patients in the Chinese cohort, making both groups comparable. The Nomogram of overall survival (OS) was compiled based on eight variables, including age at diagnosis, sex, race, marital status, histology, stage, radiotherapy and chemotherapy. Cancer-specific survival (CSS) nomogram was developed with eight variables, including age at diagnosis, sex, marital status, primary tumor site, histology, stage, radiotherapy and chemotherapy. The C-index of OS prediction nomogram was 0.948 (95% CI: 0.901-0.995) in the validation cohort, the calibration plots showed an optimal match and a high area below the ROC curve (AUC) was observed in both training and validation sets. Also, we established the first web-based PGL survival rate calculator ( https://yangjinru.shinyapps.io/DynNomapp/ ).ConclusionThe web dynamic nomogram provided an insightful and applicable tool for evaluating PGL prognosis in OS and CSS, and can effectively guide individual treatment and monitoring.

Project description:Glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) is the most common and aggressive adult primary brain cancer, with <10% of patients surviving for more than 3 years. Demographic and clinical factors (e.g. age) and individual molecular biomarkers have been associated with prolonged survival in GBM patients. However, comprehensive systems-level analyses of molecular profiles associated with long-term survival (LTS) in GBM patients are still lacking. We present an integrative study of molecular data and clinical variables in these long-term survivors (LTSs, patients surviving >3 years) to identify biomarkers associated with prolonged survival, and to assess the possible similarity of molecular characteristics between LGG and LTS GBM. We analyzed the relationship between multivariable molecular data and LTS in GBM patients from the Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA), including germline and somatic point mutation, gene expression, DNA methylation, copy number variation (CNV) and microRNA (miRNA) expression using logistic regression models. The molecular relationship between GBM LTS and LGG tumors was examined through cluster analysis. We identified 13, 94, 43, 29, and 1 significant predictors of LTS using Lasso logistic regression from the somatic point mutation, gene expression, DNA methylation, CNV, and miRNA expression data sets, respectively. Individually, DNA methylation provided the best prediction performance (AUC = 0.84). Combining multiple classes of molecular data into joint regression models did not improve prediction accuracy, but did identify additional genes that were not significantly predictive in individual models. PCA and clustering analyses showed that GBM LTS typically had gene expression profiles similar to non-LTS GBM. Furthermore, cluster analysis did not identify a close affinity between LTS GBM and LGG, nor did we find a significant association between LTS and secondary GBM. The absence of unique LTS profiles and the lack of similarity between LTS GBM and LGG, indicates that there are multiple genetic and epigenetic pathways to LTS in GBM patients.

Project description:Stratification of spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage (sICH) patients without cerebral herniation at admission, to determine the subgroups may be suffered from poor outcomes or benefit from surgery, is important for following treatment decision. The aim of this study was to establish and verify a de novo nomogram predictive model for long-term survival in sICH patients without cerebral herniation at admission. This study recruited sICH patients from our prospectively maintained ICH patient database (RIS-MIS-ICH, ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT03862729) between January 2015 and October 2019. All eligible patients were randomly classified into a training cohort and a validation cohort according to the ratio of 7:3. The baseline variables and long-term survival outcomes were collected. And the long-term survival information of all the enrolled sICH patients, including the occurrence of death and overall survival. Follow-up time was defined as the time from the onset to death of the patient or the last clinical visit. The nomogram predictive model was established based on the independent risk factors at admission for long-term survival after hemorrhage. The concordance index (C-index) and ROC curve were used to evaluate the accuracy of the predictive model. Discrimination and calibration were used to validate the nomogram in both the training cohort and the validation cohort. A total of 692 eligible sICH patients were enrolled. During the average follow-up time of 41.77 ± 0.85 months, a total of 178 (25.7%) patients died. The Cox Proportional Hazard Models showed that age (HR 1.055, 95% CI 1.038-1.071, P < 0.001), Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) at admission (HR 2.496, 95% CI 2.014-3.093, P < 0.001) and hydrocephalus caused by intraventricular hemorrhage (IVH) (HR 1.955, 95% CI 1.362-2.806, P < 0.001) were independent risk factors. The C index of the admission model was 0.76 and 0.78 in the training cohort and validation cohort, respectively. In the ROC analysis, the AUC was 0.80 (95% CI 0.75-0.85) in the training cohort and was 0.80 (95% CI 0.72-0.88) in the validation cohort. SICH patients with admission nomogram scores greater than 87.75 were at high risk of short survival time. For sICH patients without cerebral herniation at admission, our de novo nomogram model based on age, GCS and hydrocephalus on CT may be useful to stratify the long-term survival outcomes and provide suggestions for treatment decision-making.

Project description:Purpose: Patients with glioblastoma have less than 15-month median survival despite surgical resection, high-dose radiation, and chemotherapy with temozolomide. We previously demonstrated that targeting cytomegalovirus pp65 using dendritic cells (DC) can extend survival and, in a separate study, that dose-intensified temozolomide (DI-TMZ) and adjuvant granulocyte macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF) potentiate tumor-specific immune responses in patients with glioblastoma. Here, we evaluated pp65-specific cellular responses following DI-TMZ with pp65-DCs and determined the effects on long-term progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS).Experimental Design: Following standard-of-care, 11 patients with newly diagnosed glioblastoma received DI-TMZ (100 mg/m2/d × 21 days per cycle) with at least three vaccines of pp65 lysosome-associated membrane glycoprotein mRNA-pulsed DCs admixed with GM-CSF on day 23 ± 1 of each cycle. Thereafter, monthly DI-TMZ cycles and pp65-DCs were continued if patients had not progressed.Results: Following DI-TMZ cycle 1 and three doses of pp65-DCs, pp65 cellular responses significantly increased. After DI-TMZ, both the proportion and proliferation of regulatory T cells (Tregs) increased and remained elevated with serial DI-TMZ cycles. Median PFS and OS were 25.3 months [95% confidence interval (CI), 11.0-∞] and 41.1 months (95% CI, 21.6-∞), exceeding survival using recursive partitioning analysis and matched historical controls. Four patients remained progression-free at 59 to 64 months from diagnosis. No known prognostic factors [age, Karnofsky performance status (KPS), IDH-1/2 mutation, and MGMT promoter methylation] predicted more favorable outcomes for the patients in this cohort.Conclusions: Despite increased Treg proportions following DI-TMZ, patients receiving pp65-DCs showed long-term PFS and OS, confirming prior studies targeting cytomegalovirus in glioblastoma.
