There is an unmet need for new treatment options and biomarkers for patients with glioblastoma (GBM). Here we investigated three non-invasive biomarkers: type VI collagen degraded by granzyme B (C4G) and matrix metalloproteases (C4M), respectively, and ADAM10-degraded Tau (Tau-A).
Biomarker levels in pre- and on-treatment serum samples from patients with recurrent GBM (n = 39) treated with nivolumab and bevacizumab (NCT03890952) were compared to healthy levels (n = 22) and associated with overall survival (OS) outcome (median cutpoint). Longitudinal changes in biomarkers were investigated by a Mixed-effects analysis.
Tau-A (p < 0.0001) and C4G (p = 0.005), but not C4M (p = 0.106), were increased in patients. High Tau-A and C4G associated with improved OS (Tau-A: HR = 0.41, 95%CI = 0.20-0.86, C4G: HR = 0.47, 95%CI = 0.24-0.94). Only C4G increased with treatment (p = 0.024-0.005).
Tau-A and C4G are elevated in serum from patients with recurrent GBM and prognostic for OS. If validated, these biomarkers could be applied to clinical trials.
胶质母细胞瘤(GBM)患者对新的治疗方案和生物标志物仍有未满足的需求。在此,我们研究了三种非侵入性生物标志物:分别由颗粒酶B降解的VI型胶原蛋白(C4G)和基质金属蛋白酶(C4M),以及ADAM10降解的Tau(Tau-A)。
将接受纳武单抗和贝伐单抗治疗的复发性GBM患者(n = 39)(NCT03890952)治疗前和治疗期间血清样本中的生物标志物水平与健康水平(n = 22)进行比较,并与总生存期(OS)结果(中位数切点)相关联。通过混合效应分析研究生物标志物的纵向变化。
患者的Tau-A(p < 0.0001)和C4G(p = 0.005)升高,但C4M未升高(p = 0.106)。高Tau-A和C4G与改善的OS相关(Tau-A:HR = 0.41,95%CI = 0.20 - 0.86,C4G:HR = 0.47,95%CI = 0.24 - 0.94)。只有C4G随治疗增加(p = 0.024 - 0.005)。
复发性GBM患者血清中的Tau-A和C4G升高,且对OS具有预后价值。如果得到验证,这些生物标志物可应用于临床试验。
