    Kurzfassung: 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.

    Kurzfassung: Medulloblastoma comprises four distinct molecular subgroups: WNT, SHH, Group 3, and Group 4. Current medulloblastoma protocols stratify patients based on clinical features: patient age, metastatic stage, extent of resection, and histologic variant. Stark prognostic and genetic differences among the four subgroups suggest that subgroup-specific molecular biomarkers could improve patient prognostication. Patients and Methods Molecular biomarkers were identified from a discovery set of 673 medulloblastomas from 43 cities around the world. Combined risk stratification models were designed based on clinical and cytogenetic biomarkers identified by multivariable Cox proportional hazards analyses. Identified biomarkers were tested using fluorescent in situ hybridization (FISH) on a nonoverlapping medulloblastoma tissue microarray (n = 453), with subsequent validation of the risk stratification models. Results Subgroup information improves the predictive accuracy of a multivariable survival model compared with clinical biomarkers alone. Most previously published cytogenetic biomarkers are only prognostic within a single medulloblastoma subgroup. Profiling six FISH biomarkers (GLI2, MYC, chromosome 11 [chr11], chr14, 17p, and 17q) on formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded tissues, we can reliably and reproducibly identify very low-risk and very high-risk patients within SHH, Group 3, and Group 4 medulloblastomas. Conclusion Combining subgroup and cytogenetic biomarkers with established clinical biomarkers substantially improves patient prognostication, even in the context of heterogeneous clinical therapies. The prognostic significance of most molecular biomarkers is restricted to a specific subgroup. We have identified a small panel of cytogenetic biomarkers that reliably identifies very high-risk and very low-risk groups of patients, making it an excellent tool for selecting patients for therapy intensification and therapy de-escalation in future clinical trials.

    Kurzfassung: Children with average-risk medulloblastoma (MB) experience survival rates of ≥ 80% at the expense of adverse consequences of treatment. Efforts to mitigate these effects include deintensification of craniospinal irradiation (CSI) dose and volume. METHODS ACNS0331 (ClinicalTrials.gov identifier: NCT00085735 ) randomly assigned patients age 3-21 years with average-risk MB to receive posterior fossa radiation therapy (PFRT) or involved field radiation therapy (IFRT) following CSI. Young children (3-7 years) were also randomly assigned to receive standard-dose CSI (SDCSI; 23.4 Gy) or low-dose CSI (LDCSI; 18 Gy). Post hoc molecular classification and mutational analysis contextualized outcomes according to known biologic subgroups (Wingless, Sonic Hedgehog, group 3, and group 4) and genetic biomarkers. Neurocognitive changes and ototoxicity were monitored over time. RESULTS Five hundred forty-nine patients were enrolled on study, of which 464 were eligible and evaluable to compare PFRT versus IFRT and 226 for SDCSI versus LDCSI. The five-year event-free survival (EFS) was 82.5% (95% CI, 77.2 to 87.8) and 80.5% (95% CI, 75.2 to 85.8) for the IFRT and PFRT regimens, respectively, and 71.4% (95% CI, 62.8 to 80) and 82.9% (95% CI, 75.6 to 90.2) for the LDCSI and SDCSI regimens, respectively. IFRT was not inferior to PFRT (hazard ratio, 0.97; 94% upper CI, 1.32). LDCSI was inferior to SDCSI (hazard ratio, 1.67%; 80% upper CI, 2.10). Improved EFS was observed in patients with Sonic Hedgehog MB who were randomly assigned to the IFRT arm ( P = .018). Patients with group 4 MB receiving LDCSI exhibited inferior EFS ( P = .047). Children receiving SDCSI exhibited greater late declines in IQ (estimate = 5.87; P = .021). CONCLUSION Reducing the radiation boost volume in average-risk MB is safe and does not compromise survival. Reducing CSI dose in young children with average-risk MB results in inferior outcomes, possibly in a subgroup-dependent manner, but is associated with better neurocognitive outcome. Molecularly informed patient selection warrants further exploration for children with MB to be considered for late-effect sparing approaches.

    Kurzfassung: 10516 Background: Therapy for medulloblastoma and primitive neuroectodermal tumor has evolved from surgery and adjuvant radiotherapy to risk-adapted multimodal regimens. The impact of these changes in treatment on long-term outcomes remains unknown. Methods: Cumulative incidence of late mortality ( 〉 5 years from diagnosis), subsequent malignant neoplasms (SMN), chronic health conditions and psychosocial functioning were evaluated among 5-year survivors in CCSS diagnosed between 1970 and 1999. Survivors were stratified according to treatment decade (1970s, 1980s, 1990s) and treatment exposure (surgery + craniospinal irradiation [CSI] ≥30 Gy, no chemotherapy; surgery + CSI ≥30 Gy + chemotherapy [high-risk therapy] , surgery + CSI ˂30 Gy + chemotherapy [standard-risk therapy]). Rate ratios (RRs), odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were estimated for long-term outcomes among treatment eras and exposure groups using multivariable piecewise-exponential models. Results: Among 1,380 eligible survivors (median [range] age 29 [6-20] years; 21.4 [5-44] years from diagnosis), the 15-year cumulative incidence of all-cause (21.9% 1970s vs. 12.8% 1990s; p = 0.003) and recurrence-related (16.2% vs 9.6%, p = 0.03) late mortality decreased with no reduction in mortality attributable to late effects of therapy including SMN. Among 959 participants, the incidence of SMN did not decrease by era or by treatment group. However, survivors treated in the 1990s had an increased cumulative incidence of severe, life-threatening and fatal health conditions (16.9% 1970s vs 25.4% 1990s; p = 0.03), and were more likely to develop multiple severe or life-threatening health conditions, RR = 2.98 (95% CI, 1.10-8.07). Survivors of standard-risk therapy were less likely to use special education services than high-risk therapy patients, OR = 0.51 (95% CI, 0.33-0.78). Conclusions: Historical changes in therapy have improved 5-year survival, reduced risk of late mortality due to disease recurrence, and reduced special education utilization, at the cost of increased risk for multiple, severe and life-threatening chronic health conditions.

    Kurzfassung: 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.

    Kurzfassung: This study was designed to determine the toxicity, radiographic response rate, and outcome following high-dose thiotepa, etoposide, and autologous bone marrow rescue (ABMR) for young patients with recurrent malignant brain tumors. METHODS Eligibility criteria required adequate renal, hepatic, and pulmonary function, and no bone marrow infiltration. Thiotepa 300 mg/m2 and etoposide 500 mg/ m2 were infused on 3 consecutive days, and autologous bone marrow was infused 72 hours following chemotherapy. RESULTS Forty-five patients with recurrent high-grade brain tumors, aged 8 months to 36 years (median, 8 years), were treated. Seven patients (16%) died of treatment-related toxicities within 56 days of marrow reinfusion. Delayed platelet engraftment occurred in 44% of patients who survived beyond day 56. Of 35 patients with radiographically measurable disease who survived at least 28 days following ABMR, there were two complete responses (CRs) and six partial responses (PRs), for an overall response (CRs plus PRs) rate of 23% (SE = 7%). Objective responses were observed in four of 14 assessable patients with high-grade glioma and in two of six with primitive neuroectodermal tumors (PNETs)/ medulloblastoma. Survival was significantly improved in patients treated with minimal residual disease (P 〈 .0005). Five of 18 patients (28%) with high-grade gliomas remain free of disease at 39+, 44+, 49+, 52+, and 59+ months post-ABMR. CONCLUSION The combination of high-dose thiotepa and etoposide has activity against a variety of recurrent childhood brain tumors. These results merit further evaluation in children and young adults with both recurrent and newly diagnosed high-grade brain tumors.

    Kurzfassung: PURPOSE: Medulloblastoma is the most common malignant brain tumor of childhood. After treatment with surgery and radiation therapy, approximately 60% of children with medulloblastoma are alive and free of progressive disease 5 years after diagnosis, but many have significant neurocognitive sequelae. This study was undertaken to determine the feasibility and efficacy of treating children with nondisseminated medulloblastoma with reduced-dose craniospinal radiotherapy plus adjuvant chemotherapy. PATIENTS AND METHODS: Over a 3-year period, 65 children between 3 and 10 years of age with nondisseminated medulloblastoma were treated with postoperative, reduced-dose craniospinal radiation therapy (23.4 Gy) and 55.8 Gy of local radiation therapy. Adjuvant vincristine chemotherapy was administered during radiotherapy, and lomustine, vincristine, and cisplatin chemotherapy was administered during and after radiation. RESULTS: Progression-free survival was 86% ± 4% at 3 years and 79% ± 7% at 5 years. Sites of relapse for the14 patients who developed progressive disease included the local tumor site alone in two patients, local tumor site and disseminated disease in nine, and nonprimary sites in three. Brainstem involvement did not adversely affect outcome. Therapy was relatively well tolerated; however, the dose of cisplatin had to be modified in more than 50% of patients before the completion of treatment. One child died of pneumonitis and sepsis during treatment. CONCLUSION: These overall survival rates compare favorably to those obtained in studies using full-dose radiation therapy alone or radiation therapy plus chemotherapy. The results suggest that reduced-dose craniospinal radiation therapy and adjuvant chemotherapy during and after radiation is a feasible approach for children with nondisseminated medulloblastoma.

    Kurzfassung: PURPOSE: From 1986 to 1992, “eight-drugs-in-one-day” (8-in-1) chemotherapy both before and after radiation therapy (XRT) (54 Gy tumor/36 Gy neuraxis) was compared with vincristine, lomustine (CCNU), and prednisone (VCP) after XRT in children with untreated, high-stage medulloblastoma (MB). PATIENTS AND METHODS: Two hundred three eligible patients with an institutional diagnosis of MB were stratified by local invasion and metastatic stage (Chang T/M) and randomized to therapy. Median time at risk from study entry was 7.0 years. RESULTS: Survival and progression-free survival (PFS) ± SE at 7 years were 55% ± 5% and 54% ± 5%, respectively. VCP was superior to 8-in-1 chemotherapy, with 5-year PFS rates of 63% ± 5% versus 45% ± 5%, respectively (P = .006). Upon central neuropathology review, 188 patients were confirmed as having MB and were the subjects for analyses of prognostic factors. Children aged 1.5 to younger than 3 years had inferior 5-year estimates of PFS, compared with children 3 years old or older (P = .0014; 32% ± 10% v 58% ± 4%, respectively). For MB patients 3 years of age or older, the prognostic effect of tumor spread (M0 v M1 v M2+) on PFS was powerful (P = .0006); 5-year PFS rates were 70% ± 5%, 57% ± 10%, and 40% ± 8%, respectively. PFS distributions at 5 years for patients with M0 tumors with less than 1.5 cm 2 of residual tumor, versus ≥ 1.5 cm 2 of residual tumor by scan, were significantly different (P = .023; 78% ± 6% v 54% ± 11%, respectively). CONCLUSION: VCP plus XRT is a superior adjuvant combination compared with 8-in-1 chemotherapy plus XRT. For patients with M0 tumors, residual tumor bulk (not extent of resection) is a predictor for PFS. Patients with M0 tumors, ≥ 3 years with ≤ 1.5 cm 2 residual tumor, had a 78% ± 6% 5-year PFS rate. Children younger than 3 years old who received a reduced XRT dosage had the lowest survival rate.

    Low-Stage Medulloblastoma: Final Analysis of Trial Comparing Standard-Dose With Reduced-Dose Neuraxis Irradiation
    American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) ; 2000

    Kurzfassung: PURPOSE: To evaluate prospectively the effects on survival, relapse-free survival, and patterns of relapse of reduced-dose (23.4 Gy in 13 fractions) compared with standard-dose (36 Gy in 20 fractions) neuraxis irradiation in patients 3 to 21 years of age with low-stage medulloblastoma, minimal postoperative residual disease, and no evidence of neuraxis disease. PATIENTS AND METHODS: The Pediatric Oncology Group and Children’s Cancer Group randomized 126 patients to the study. All patients received posterior fossa irradiation to a total dose of 54 Gy in addition to the neuraxis treatment. Patients were staged postoperatively with contrast-enhanced cranial computed tomography, myelography, and CSF cytology. Of the registered patients, 38 were ineligible. RESULTS: The planned interim analysis that resulted in closure of the protocol showed that patients randomized to the reduced neuraxis treatment had increased frequency of relapse. In the final analysis, eligible patients receiving standard-dose neuraxis irradiation had 67% event-free survival (EFS) at 5 years (SE = 7.4%), whereas eligible patients receiving reduced-dose neuraxis irradiation had 52% event-free survival at 5 years (SE = 7.7%) (P = .080). At 8 years, the respective EFS proportions were also 67% (SE = 8.8%) and 52% (SE = 11%) (P = .141). These data confirm the original one-sided conclusions but suggest that differences are less marked with time. CONCLUSION: Reduced-dose neuraxis irradiation (23.4 Gy) is associated with increased risk of early relapse, early isolated neuraxis relapse, and lower 5-year EFS and overall survival than standard irradiation (36 Gy). The 5-year EFS for patients receiving standard-dose irradiation is suboptimal, and improved techniques and/or therapies are needed to improve ultimate outcome. Chemotherapy may contribute to this improvement.

    Kurzfassung: To estimate the maximum-tolerated dose, dose-limiting toxicities (DLTs), and pharmacokinetic properties of lapatinib, a selective epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) and ERBB2 inhibitor, in children with refractory or recurrent CNS malignancies. Patients and Methods Lapatinib was administered orally twice daily at escalating doses starting at 300 mg/m 2 to patients who were not (stratum I) or were (stratum II) receiving steroids. Pharmacokinetic studies were performed during the first two courses. Expression of the four ERBB receptors and downstream signaling elements in tumor tissue was evaluated by immunohistochemistry. Results Fifty-nine patients were enrolled (stratum I, n = 32; stratum II, n = 27). Of 29 patients evaluable for toxicity in stratum I, one experienced a DLT (diarrhea) at 520 mg/m 2 twice daily, and all three receiving 1,150 mg/m 2 twice daily experienced DLTs (one each of rash, diarrhea, and fatigue). Two of 21 patients evaluable for toxicity in stratum II experienced DLTs of rash at 900 mg/m 2 twice daily. Lapatinib dosage was related linearly to area under the [concentration-time] curve from start time to 12 hours later (AUC 0-12 ) and dose-normalized maximum serum concentration and AUC values for patients in stratum II were both significantly higher (P = .001) than those for patients in stratum I. Frequent, high-level expression of activated (phosphorylated) EGFR and ERBB2 receptors and downstream signal intermediates were observed in tumors, particularly in ependymomas that displayed prolonged stable disease on lapatinib therapy. Conclusion Lapatinib is well tolerated in children with recurrent CNS malignancies, with rash, diarrhea, and fatigue identified as DLTs. The recommended phase II dose, regardless of steroid use, is 900 mg/m 2 twice daily.
