    Abstract: 10029 Background: Vinblastine has shown promising activity in a phase II study in children with recurrent/refractory LGG. The aim of this study was to assess the activity of vinblastine in chemotherapy naïve children. Methods: Patients 〈 18 years old with unresectable or progressive LGG were eligible if they had not received any previous treatment with chemotherapy or radiation. Vinblastine was administered weekly at a dose of 6 mg/m 2 over a period of 70 weeks. Patients who showed progression on 2 consecutive imaging studies or evidence of clinical progression were removed from treatment. Results: 54 patients (23 female) were enrolled between 2007 and 2010. Median age at inclusion was 7 years, 13 patients were 〈 3 years. 32 had chiasmatic/hypothalamic tumours, 6 had evidence of dissemination. 13 had neurofibromatosis type 1. Histology was pilocytic astrocytoma (25), pilomyxoid astrocytoma (4), low grade astrocytoma variant (8); 17 patients had no histological diagnosis. Treatment was well tolerated; however, only 14 patients received full dose for the duration of the study. Most common toxicity was haematological: 40 patients who experienced grade 3+ neutropenia. There were only 6 episodes of febrile neutropenia, 3 RBC transfusions and no toxic death. Best response to chemotherapy was assessed centrally by an independent radiologist: 1 CR, 10 PR, 3 MR, 28 SD, 12 PD, for a response rate of 24.5%. With a median follow-up of 2 years (9-48 months), progression-free survival at 2 years was 72.1% (95%CI: 58.1-82.2). One patient died of progression. Conclusions: Weekly vinblastine is well tolerated in paediatric LGG patients. Although the response rate appears inferior to other common LGG regimens, progression free survival at 2 years favourably compares to most currently used regimens. Supported by a grant from the Ontario Institute Cancer Research. Clinical trial information: 1000011227.

    Abstract: Vinblastine monotherapy has shown promising activity and a low-toxicity profile in patients with pediatric low-grade glioma (PLGG) who experienced treatment failure after initial treatment with chemotherapy and/or radiation. The aim of this study was to assess the activity of vinblastine in therapy-naïve children. Patients and Methods Patients 〈 18 years old with unresectable and/or progressive therapy-naïve PLGG were eligible. Vinblastine was administered once per week at a dose of 6 mg/m 2 intravenously over a period of 70 weeks. Vision, quality of life, neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1) status, and BRAF mutation/fusion status were also determined and correlated with outcome. Results Fifty-four patients were enrolled onto the study, with a median age of 8 years (range, 0.7 to 17.2 years). Most patients had chiasmatic/hypothalamic tumors (55.5%), and 13 patients (24.1%) had NF1. The most common histology was pilocytic astrocytoma (46.3%). Seventeen patients were diagnosed using radiologic criteria alone. Best response to chemotherapy was centrally reviewed with a response rate (complete, partial, or minor response) of 25.9%. Disease stabilization (complete, partial, or minor response or stable disease) was achieved in 47 patients (87.0%). Visual improvement was observed in 20% of patients with optic pathway glioma. Five-year overall survival and progression-free survival (PFS) rates were 94.4% (95% CI, 88.5% to 100%) and 53.2% (95% CI, 41.3% to 68.5%), respectively, for the entire cohort. Patients with NF1 had a significantly better PFS (85.1%; 95% CI, 68.0% to 100%) when compared with patients without NF1 (42.0%; 95% CI, 29.1% to 60.7%; P = .012). Age 〈 3 years or 〉 10 years was not associated with poor outcome. Treatment was well tolerated, and quality of life was not affected during treatment. In this trial, there was no correlation between BRAF alterations and outcome. Conclusion Vinblastine administered once per week is well tolerated in children with treatment naïve PLGG. Overall survival and PFS are comparable to current therapies, with a favorable toxicity profile and a maintained quality of life.

    Abstract: We sought to investigate clinical outcomes of relapsed medulloblastoma and to compare molecular features between patient-matched diagnostic and relapsed tumors. METHODS Children and infants enrolled on either SJMB03 (NCT00085202) or SJYC07 (NCT00602667) trials who experienced medulloblastoma relapse were analyzed for clinical outcomes, including anatomic and temporal patterns of relapse and postrelapse survival. A largely independent, paired molecular cohort was analyzed by DNA methylation array and next-generation sequencing. RESULTS A total of 72 of 329 (22%) SJMB03 and 52 of 79 (66%) SJYC07 patients experienced relapse with significant representation of Group 3 and wingless tumors. Although most patients exhibited some distal disease (79%), 38% of patients with sonic hedgehog tumors experienced isolated local relapse. Time to relapse and postrelapse survival varied by molecular subgroup with longer latencies for patients with Group 4 tumors. Postrelapse radiation therapy among previously nonirradiated SJYC07 patients was associated with long-term survival. Reirradiation was only temporizing for SJMB03 patients. Among 127 patients with patient-matched tumor pairs, 9 (7%) experienced subsequent nonmedulloblastoma CNS malignancies. Subgroup (96%) and subtype (80%) stabilities were largely maintained among the remainder. Rare subgroup divergence was observed from Group 4 to Group 3 tumors, which is coincident with genetic alterations involving MYC, MYCN, and FBXW7. Subgroup-specific patterns of alteration were identified for driver genes and chromosome arms. CONCLUSION Clinical behavior of relapsed medulloblastoma must be contextualized in terms of up-front therapies and molecular classifications. Group 4 tumors exhibit slower biological progression. Utility of radiation at relapse is dependent on patient age and prior treatments. Degree and patterns of molecular conservation at relapse vary by subgroup. Relapse tissue enables verification of molecular targets and identification of occult secondary malignancies.

    Abstract: 2042 Background: Pediatric low-grade gliomas (PLGG) are the most frequent brain tumors in children and the majority of PLGG have activation of the MAPK/ERK pathway. Plexiform neurofibromas (PN) are found in up to 50% of patients with neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1). Trametinib has been used widely to treat PLGG and PN, but no clinical trial has reported its efficacy. Methods: This multicenter phase II trial includes patients aged ≥ 1 month to ≤ 25 years with progressing/refractory PLGG groups or PN. The primary objective was to evaluate the overall response rate after daily oral trametinib administration for eighteen 28-day cycles. Results: As of January 31 st , 2022, 60 patients with PLGG and 45 patients with PN have been enrolled. Median age is 9.5 years (range 1.8-25.4) for PLGG and 11 years (range 0.7-19.8) for PN. Median follow-up is 18 months (range 0.1-38.1). Fifty-three patients with PLGG were evaluable. The overall response includes: 1 complete response (CR) (1.9%), 7 partial response PR (13.2%), 17 minor response MR (32.1%), 23 stable disease (SD) (43.4%) and 5 progressive disease (PD) (9.4%). Twenty-eight patients with a total of 32 PN were available for volumetric analysis. Volumetric assessment demonstrated an overall response rate of 60.7% compared to 24.1% when using RECIST 1.1 and 62.5% of PN showed a decrease of more than 20% in volume. Median volume change was a decrease of 30% (range -93.5 to 14.3). A total of 59 (69.4%) patients discontinued treatment as planned after 18 cycles and 9 (10.6%) patients had to stop trametinib due to adverse events. Conclusions: Response rates observed in our study suggest that trametinib is a potentially effective targeted therapy for patients with recurrent/refractory PLGG and PN. Treatment was overall well tolerated. This trial will continue to gather data on duration of response and long-term outcome for PLGG and PN treated with trametinib. Clinical trial information: NCT03363217.

    Therapeutic Impact of Cytoreductive Surgery and Irradiation of Posterior Fossa Ependymoma in the Molecular Era: A Retrospective Multicohort Analysis
    American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) ; 2016

    Abstract: Posterior fossa ependymoma comprises two distinct molecular variants termed EPN_PFA and EPN_PFB that have a distinct biology and natural history. The therapeutic value of cytoreductive surgery and radiation therapy for posterior fossa ependymoma after accounting for molecular subgroup is not known. Methods Four independent nonoverlapping retrospective cohorts of posterior fossa ependymomas (n = 820) were profiled using genome-wide methylation arrays. Risk stratification models were designed based on known clinical and newly described molecular biomarkers identified by multivariable Cox proportional hazards analyses. Results Molecular subgroup is a powerful independent predictor of outcome even when accounting for age or treatment regimen. Incompletely resected EPN_PFA ependymomas have a dismal prognosis, with a 5-year progression-free survival ranging from 26.1% to 56.8% across all four cohorts. Although first-line (adjuvant) radiation is clearly beneficial for completely resected EPN_PFA, a substantial proportion of patients with EPN_PFB can be cured with surgery alone, and patients with relapsed EPN_PFB can often be treated successfully with delayed external-beam irradiation. Conclusion The most impactful biomarker for posterior fossa ependymoma is molecular subgroup affiliation, independent of other demographic or treatment variables. However, both EPN_PFA and EPN_PFB still benefit from increased extent of resection, with the survival rates being particularly poor for subtotally resected EPN_PFA, even with adjuvant radiation therapy. Patients with EPN_PFB who undergo gross total resection are at lower risk for relapse and should be considered for inclusion in a randomized clinical trial of observation alone with radiation reserved for those who experience recurrence.

    Abstract: To evaluate the efficacy of single-agent vinblastine in pediatric patients with recurrent or refractory low-grade glioma. Patients and Methods Patients were eligible if they had experienced previous treatment failure (chemotherapy and/or radiation) for incompletely resected or unresectable low-grade glioma (LGG). Vinblastine (6 mg/m 2 ) was administered weekly for 1 year unless unacceptable toxicity or progression (confirmed on two consecutive imaging studies) occurred. Results Fifty-one patients (age range, 1.4 to 18.2 years; median age, 7.2 years) were prospectively enrolled onto this phase II study. Fifty patients had previously received at least one prior regimen of chemotherapy, and 10 patients had previously received radiation treatment. Fifty patients were evaluable for response; 18 patients (36%) had a complete, partial, or minor response, and 31 patients completed 1 year of treatment. At a median follow-up of 67 months, 23 patients had not experienced progression; three patients have died. Five-year overall survival was 93.2% ± 3.8%, and 5-year progression-free survival was 42.3% ± 7.2%. Toxicity was manageable and mostly hematologic, although a few patients needed transfusions. Conclusion Weekly vinblastine seems to be a reasonable alternative to radiation for pediatric patients with LGG who have experienced treatment failure with first-line chemotherapy. The 5-year progression-free survival observed in this phase II trial is comparable to results observed with first-line chemotherapy in chemotherapy-naive patients. The role of single-agent vinblastine and other vinca alkaloid in the management of pediatric LGGs deserves further investigation.
