Abstract:
e13512 Background: Patients with HGGs have historically been excluded from ieCTs due to unavailability of serial bioptic sampling, frequent need of corticosteroids, concerns on activity of immunotherapy in central nervous system, and rapid clinical deterioration. Methods: We retrospectively reviewed data of all recurrent HGG patients enrolled in ieCTs at Humanitas Cancer Center Phase I Unit between 2014 and 2018. Disease control rate (DCR) according to RANO criteria, six-months progression-free and overall survival (PFS-6; OS-6), and treatment-related adverse events (TRAEs), were evaluated. A control-cohort (CC) of patients treated with standard treatments (temozolomide, fotemustine, lomustine and procarbazine, bevacizumab) matched (1:1) for age, line of treatment, MGMT methylation and IDH mutational status, was selected for comparison. Clinical parameters including use of steroids, neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio, lactate dehydrogenase, albumin, total protein, were correlated with survival through an univariate analysis. Results: 5 among 21 ieCTs allowed inclusion of HGG patients. 20 patients were enrolled in our experimental cohort (EC); 17 (85%) glioblastoma, 3 (15%) anaplastic astrocytoma. Median age was 53 years (range 30-71); 12 patients (60%) were men, 8 (40%) women; 13 pts (65%) required steroid therapy, with a median dexamethasone dose of 2 mg (range 1-6). The median number of prior systemic therapies was 1 (range 1-2). 11 patients (55%) received monotherapies (anti PD-1, anti CSFR-1, anti TGF-ß, anti cereblon), 9 (45%) combination regimens (anti PD-L1 + anti CD38, anti PD-1 + anti CSFR-1). DCR was 45% (1 CR + 2 PR + 6 SD) and 30% (1 RP +5 SD), in EC and CC, respectively. 4 patients (20%) in EC had grade ≥3 TRAEs (1 neutropenia, 1 pneumonia, 2 hepatitis). With a median follow-up of 22 months PFS-6 and OS-6 were 53% and 11% (p 〈 .0001), 80% and 42% (p 〈 0.0001) in EC and CC, respectively. In our small series, none of clinical factors resulted prognostic. Conclusions: Survival outcomes of our HGG patients treated into ieCTs compared very favorably with a matched CC. Inclusion of HGGs patients into ieCTs should be strongly encouraged. Identification of clinical selection factors remains crucial.
