Introduction: In this post hoc analysis we compared various response-assessment criteria in newly diagnosed glioblastoma (GB) patients treated with tumor lysate-charged autologous dendritic cells (Audencel) and determined the differences in prediction of progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS). Methods: 76 patients enrolled in a multicenter phase II trial receiving standard of care (SOC, n = 40) or SOC + Audencel vaccine (n = 36) were included. MRI scans were evaluated using MacDonald, RANO, Vol-RANO, mRANO, Vol-mRANO and iRANO criteria. Tumor volumes (T1 contrast-enhancing as well as T2/FLAIR volumes) were calculated by semiautomatic segmentation. The Kruskal-Wallis-test was used to detect differences in PFS among the assessment criteria; for correlation analysis the Spearman test was used. Results: There was a significant difference in median PFS between mRANO (8.6 months) and Vol-mRANO (8.6 months) compared to MacDonald (4.0 months), RANO (4.2 months) and Vol-RANO (5.4 months). For the vaccination arm, median PFS by iRANO was 6.2 months. There was no difference in PFS between SOC and SOC + Audencel. The best correlation between PFS/OS was detected for mRANO (r = 0.65) and Vol-mRANO (r = 0.69, each p < 0.001). A total of 16/76 patients developed a pure T2/FLAIR progressing disease, and 4/36 patients treated with Audencel developed pseudoprogression. Conclusion: When comparing different response-assessment criteria in GB patients treated with dendritic cell-based immunotherapy, the best correlation between PFS and OS was observed for mRANO and Vol-mRANO. Interestingly, iRANO was not superior for predicting OS in patients treated with Audencel.
在这项事后分析中,我们比较了接受肿瘤裂解物负载的自体树突状细胞(Audencel)治疗的新诊断胶质母细胞瘤(GB)患者的各种反应评估标准,并确定了无进展生存期(PFS)和总生存期(OS)预测方面的差异。方法:纳入76例参加多中心II期试验的患者,这些患者接受标准治疗(SOC,n = 40)或SOC + Audencel疫苗(n = 36)。使用MacDonald、RANO、Vol-RANO、mRANO、Vol-mRANO和iRANO标准对MRI扫描进行评估。通过半自动分割计算肿瘤体积(T1增强以及T2/FLAIR体积)。使用Kruskal-Wallis检验检测评估标准之间PFS的差异;相关性分析使用Spearman检验。结果:与MacDonald(4.0个月)、RANO(4.2个月)和Vol-RANO(5.4个月)相比,mRANO(8.6个月)和Vol-mRANO(8.6个月)的中位PFS存在显著差异。对于疫苗接种组,iRANO的中位PFS为6.2个月。SOC和SOC + Audencel之间的PFS没有差异。mRANO(r = 0.65)和Vol-mRANO(r = 0.69,均p < 0.001)在PFS/OS之间具有最佳相关性。共有16/76例患者发生单纯T2/FLAIR进展性疾病,4/36例接受Audencel治疗的患者发生假性进展。结论:在比较接受基于树突状细胞免疫治疗的GB患者的不同反应评估标准时,mRANO和Vol-mRANO在PFS和OS之间观察到最佳相关性。有趣的是,iRANO在预测接受Audencel治疗患者的OS方面并不优越。
