Abstract
While it is evident that standard dose whole brain radiotherapy as consolidation is associated with significant neurotoxicity, the optimal consolidative strategy for primary central nervous system lymphoma (PCNSL) is not defined. We performed a randomized phase 2 clinical trial via the U.S. Alliance cancer cooperative group to compare myeloablative consolidation supported by autologous stem cell transplantation with non-myeloablative consolidation after induction therapy for PCNSL. This is the first randomized trial to be initiated that eliminates whole brain radiotherapy as a consolidative approach in newly-diagnosed PCNSL. Patients, age 18-75 years, were randomly assigned in a 1:1 manner to induction therapy (methotrexate, temozolomide, rituximab and cytarabine) followed by consolidation with either thiotepa plus carmustine and autologous stem cell rescue versus induction followed by non-myeloablative, infusional etoposide plus cytarabine (EA) The primary endpoint was progression-free survival (PFS). 113 patients were randomized and 108 (54 in each arm) were evaluable. More patients in the non-myeloablative arm experienced progressive disease or death during induction (28% versus 11%, p = 0.05). Thirty-six patients received autologous stem cell transplant and 34 received non-myeloablative consolidation. The estimated 2-year PFS was higher in the myeloablative versus non-myeloablative arm (73% versus 51%; p= 0.02). However, a planned secondary analysis, landmarked at start of consolidation, revealed that the estimated 2-year PFS in those who completed consolidation therapy was not significantly different between the arms (86% versus 71%; p = 0.21). Both consolidative strategies yielded encouraging efficacy and similar toxicity profiles. Clinicaltrials.gov (NCT01511562).

Abstract
The epidermal growth factor receptor, EGFR, is frequently activated in lung cancer and glioblastoma by genomic alterations including missense mutations. The different mutation spectra in these diseases are reflected in divergent responses to EGFR inhibition: significant patient benefit in lung cancer, but limited in glioblastoma. Here, we report a comprehensive mutational analysis of EGFR function. We perform saturation mutagenesis of EGFR and assess function of ~22,500 variants in a human EGFR-dependent lung cancer cell line. This approach reveals enrichment of erlotinib-insensitive variants of known and unknown significance in the dimerization, transmembrane, and kinase domains. Multiple EGFR extracellular domain variants, not associated with approved targeted therapies, are sensitive to afatinib and dacomitinib in vitro. Two glioblastoma patients with somatic EGFR G598V dimerization domain mutations show responses to dacomitinib treatment followed by within-pathway resistance mutation in one case. In summary, this comprehensive screen expands the landscape of functional EGFR variants and suggests broader clinical investigation of EGFR inhibition for cancers harboring extracellular domain mutations.

Abstract
Purpose To present results from a literature survey on practices in deep learning segmentation algorithm evaluation and perform a study on expert quality perception of brain tumor segmentation. Materials and Methods A total of 180 articles reporting on brain tumor segmentation algorithms were surveyed for the reported quality evaluation. Additionally, ratings of segmentation quality on a four-point scale were collected from medical professionals for 60 brain tumor segmentation cases. Results Of the surveyed articles, Dice score, sensitivity, and Hausdorff distance were the most popular metrics to report segmentation performance. Notably, only 2.8% of the articles included clinical experts' evaluation of segmentation quality. The experimental results revealed a low interrater agreement (Krippendorff α, 0.34) in experts' segmentation quality perception. Furthermore, the correlations between the ratings and commonly used quantitative quality metrics were low (Kendall tau between Dice score and mean rating, 0.23; Kendall tau between Hausdorff distance and mean rating, 0.51), with large variability among the experts. Conclusion The results demonstrate that quality ratings are prone to variability due to the ambiguity of tumor boundaries and individual perceptual differences, and existing metrics do not capture the clinical perception of segmentation quality. Keywords: Brain Tumor Segmentation, Deep Learning Algorithms, Glioblastoma, Cancer, Machine Learning Clinical trial registration nos.

Abstract
PURPOSE The Individualized Screening Trial of Innovative Glioblastoma Therapy (INSIGhT) is a phase II platform trial that uses response adaptive randomization and genomic profiling to efficiently identify novel therapies for phase III testing. Three initial experimental arms (abemaciclib [a cyclin-dependent kinase [CDK]4/6 inhibitor], neratinib [an epidermal growth factor receptor [EGFR]/human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 inhibitor], and CC-115 [a deoxyribonucleic acid-dependent protein kinase/mammalian target of rapamycin inhibitor]) were simultaneously evaluated against a common control arm. We report the results for each arm and examine the feasibility and conduct of the adaptive platform design. PATIENTS AND METHODS Patients with newly diagnosed O6-methylguanine-DNA methyltransferase-unmethylated glioblastoma were eligible if they had tumor genotyping to identify prespecified biomarker subpopulations of dominant glioblastoma signaling pathways (EGFR, phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase, and CDK). Initial random assignment was 1:1:1:1 between control (radiation therapy and temozolomide) and the experimental arms. Subsequent Bayesian adaptive randomization was incorporated on the basis of biomarker-specific progression-free survival (PFS) data. The primary end point was overall survival (OS), and one-sided P values are reported. The trial is registered with ClinicalTrials.gov (identifier: NCT02977780). RESULTS Two hundred thirty-seven patients were treated (71 control; 73 abemaciclib; 81 neratinib; 12 CC-115) in years 2017-2021. Abemaciclib and neratinib were well tolerated, but CC-115 was associated with ≥ grade 3 treatment-related toxicity in 58% of patients. PFS was significantly longer with abemaciclib (hazard ratio [HR], 0.72; 95% CI, 0.49 to 1.06; one-sided P = .046) and neratinib (HR, 0.72; 95% CI, 0.50 to 1.02; one-sided P = .033) relative to the control arm but there was no PFS benefit with CC-115 (one-sided P = .523). None of the experimental therapies demonstrated a significant OS benefit (P > .05). CONCLUSION The INSIGhT design enabled efficient simultaneous testing of three experimental agents using a shared control arm and adaptive randomization. Two investigational arms had superior PFS compared with the control arm, but none demonstrated an OS benefit. The INSIGhT design may promote improved and more efficient therapeutic discovery in glioblastoma. New arms have been added to the trial.

Abstract
Patients with H3K27M-mutant diffuse midline glioma (DMG) have no proven effective therapies. ONC201 has recently demonstrated efficacy in these patients, but the mechanism behind this finding remains unknown. We assessed clinical outcomes, tumor sequencing, and tissue/cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) correlate samples from patients treated in two completed multisite clinical studies. Patients treated with ONC201 following initial radiation but prior to recurrence demonstrated a median overall survival of 21.7 months, whereas those treated after recurrence had a median overall survival of 9.3 months. Radiographic response was associated with increased expression of key tricarboxylic acid cycle-related genes in baseline tumor sequencing. ONC201 treatment increased 2-hydroxyglutarate levels in cultured H3K27M-DMG cells and patient CSF samples. This corresponded with increases in repressive H3K27me3 in vitro and in human tumors accompanied by epigenetic downregulation of cell cycle regulation and neuroglial differentiation genes. Overall, ONC201 demonstrates efficacy in H3K27M-DMG by disrupting integrated metabolic and epigenetic pathways and reversing pathognomonic H3K27me3 reduction. SIGNIFICANCE The clinical, radiographic, and molecular analyses included in this study demonstrate the efficacy of ONC201 in H3K27M-mutant DMG and support ONC201 as the first monotherapy to improve outcomes in H3K27M-mutant DMG beyond radiation. Mechanistically, ONC201 disrupts integrated metabolic and epigenetic pathways and reverses pathognomonic H3K27me3 reduction. This article is featured in Selected Articles from This Issue, p. 2293.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The folate antagonist high-dose methotrexate (HD-MTX) is integral to induction chemotherapy for primary CNS lymphoma (PCNSL); however, it can be associated with leukoencephalopathy. Methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR) is involved in intracellular folate depletion. We assessed whether MTHFR polymorphisms affect the risk of leukoencephalopathy. METHODS We retrospectively searched our database at the Massachusetts General Hospital for newly diagnosed PCNSL treated with HD-MTX (without radiotherapy nor intrathecal chemotherapy). RESULTS Among 68 patients with PCNSL, MTHFR polymorphisms were found in 60 individuals (88.2%) including a 677C→T genotype, a 1298A→C genotype, or a combined 677C→T/1298A→C genotype. Neither MTX clearance nor response to induction therapy was affected by specific genotypes, and complete response was achieved in 72.1% of patients by HD-MTX-based induction. However, the 1298A→C genotype was associated with increased frequency and severity of leukoencephalopathy over time (odds ratio 4.0, CI 1.5-11.4). Such genotype predicted treatment-induced leukoencephalopathy with a sensitivity of 71.0% and a specificity of 62.2% (area under the curve 0.67, CI 0.5-0.8; p = 0.019). While progression-free survival did not differ in genotype-based subgroups, overall survival was lower for the 1298A→C genotype. DISCUSSION The MTHFR 1298A→C genotype may serve to identify patients with PCNSL at elevated risk of HD-MTX-induced leukoencephalopathy. This seems to translate into reduced survival, potentially due to decreased functional status.

Abstract
PURPOSE We evaluated the efficacy of bavituximab-a mAb with anti-angiogenic and immunomodulatory properties-in newly diagnosed patients with glioblastoma (GBM) who also received radiotherapy and temozolomide. Perfusion MRI and myeloid-related gene transcription and inflammatory infiltrates in pre-and post-treatment tumor specimens were studied to evaluate on-target effects (NCT03139916). PATIENTS AND METHODS Thirty-three adults with IDH--wild-type GBM received 6 weeks of concurrent chemoradiotherapy, followed by 6 cycles of temozolomide (C1-C6). Bavituximab was given weekly, starting week 1 of chemoradiotherapy, for at least 18 weeks. The primary endpoint was proportion of patients alive at 12 months (OS-12). The null hypothesis would be rejected if OS-12 was ≥72%. Relative cerebral blood flow (rCBF) and vascular permeability (Ktrans) were calculated from perfusion MRIs. Peripheral blood mononuclear cells and tumor tissue were analyzed pre-treatment and at disease progression using RNA transcriptomics and multispectral immunofluorescence for myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSC) and macrophages. RESULTS The study met its primary endpoint with an OS-12 of 73% (95% confidence interval, 59%-90%). Decreased pre-C1 rCBF (HR, 4.63; P = 0.029) and increased pre-C1 Ktrans were associated with improved overall survival (HR, 0.09; P = 0.005). Pre-treatment overexpression of myeloid-related genes in tumor tissue was associated with longer survival. Post-treatment tumor specimens contained fewer immunosuppressive MDSCs (P = 0.01). CONCLUSIONS Bavituximab has activity in newly diagnosed GBM and resulted in on-target depletion of intratumoral immunosuppressive MDSCs. Elevated pre-treatment expression of myeloid-related transcripts in GBM may predict response to bavituximab.

Abstract
Primary central nervous system lymphoma (PCNSL) is a diffuse large B cell lymphoma in which the brain, spinal cord, leptomeninges and/or eyes are exclusive sites of disease. Pathophysiology is incompletely understood, although a central role seems to comprise immunoglobulins binding to self-proteins expressed in the central nervous system (CNS) and alterations of genes involved in B cell receptor, Toll-like receptor and NF-κB signalling. Other factors such as T cells, macrophages or microglia, endothelial cells, chemokines, and interleukins, probably also have important roles. Clinical presentation varies depending on the involved regions of the CNS. Standard of care includes methotrexate-based polychemotherapy followed by age-tailored thiotepa-based conditioned autologous stem cell transplantation and, in patients unsuitable for such treatment, consolidation with whole-brain radiotherapy or single-drug maintenance. Personalized treatment, primary radiotherapy and only supportive care should be considered in unfit, frail patients. Despite available treatments, 15-25% of patients do not respond to chemotherapy and 25-50% relapse after initial response. Relapse rates are higher in older patients, although the prognosis of patients experiencing relapse is poor independent of age. Further research is needed to identify diagnostic biomarkers, treatments with higher efficacy and less neurotoxicity, strategies to improve the penetration of drugs into the CNS, and roles of other therapies such as immunotherapies and adoptive cell therapies.

Abstract
Cancer immunotherapies have unique toxicities. Establishment of grading scales and standardized grade-based treatment algorithms for toxicity syndromes can improve the safety of these treatments, as observed for cytokine release syndrome (CRS) and immune effector cell associated neurotoxicity syndrome (ICANS) in patients with B cell malignancies treated with chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cell therapy. We have observed a toxicity syndrome, distinct from CRS and ICANS, in patients treated with cell therapies for tumors in the central nervous system (CNS), which we term tumor inflammation-associated neurotoxicity (TIAN). Encompassing the concept of 'pseudoprogression,' but broader than inflammation-induced edema alone, TIAN is relevant not only to cellular therapies, but also to other immunotherapies for CNS tumors. To facilitate the safe administration of cell therapies for patients with CNS tumors, we define TIAN, propose a toxicity grading scale for TIAN syndrome and discuss the potential management of this entity, with the goal of standardizing both reporting and management.

Abstract
Background A randomized, phase II, placebo-controlled, and blinded clinical trial (NCT01062425) was conducted to determine the efficacy of cediranib, an oral pan-vascular endothelial growth factor receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitor, versus placebo in combination with radiation and temozolomide in newly diagnosed glioblastoma. Methods Patients with newly diagnosed glioblastoma were randomly assigned 2:1 to receive (1) cediranib (20 mg) in combination with radiation and temozolomide; (2) placebo in combination with radiation and temozolomide. The primary endpoint was 6-month progression-free survival (PFS) based on blinded, independent radiographic assessment of postcontrast T1-weighted and noncontrast T2-weighted MRI brain scans and was tested using a 1-sided Z test for 2 proportions. Adverse events (AEs) were evaluated per CTCAE version 4. Results One hundred and fifty-eight patients were randomized, out of which 9 were ineligible and 12 were not evaluable for the primary endpoint, leaving 137 eligible and evaluable. 6-month PFS was 46.6% in the cediranib arm versus 24.5% in the placebo arm (P = .005). There was no significant difference in overall survival between the 2 arms. There was more grade ≥ 3 AEs in the cediranib arm than in the placebo arm (P = .02). Conclusions This study met its primary endpoint of prolongation of 6-month PFS with cediranib in combination with radiation and temozolomide versus placebo in combination with radiation and temozolomide. There was no difference in overall survival between the 2 arms.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Targeted gene NGS testing is available through many academic institutions and commercial entities and is increasingly incorporated in practice guidelines for glioblastoma (GBM). This single-center retrospective study aimed to evaluate the clinical utility of incorporating NGS results in the management of GBM patients at a clinical trials-focused academic center. METHODS We identified 1011 consecutive adult patients with pathologically confirmed GBM (IDHwt or IDHmut) who had somatic tumor sequencing (Oncopanel, ~500 cancer gene panel) at DFCI from 2013-2019. Clinical records of all IDHwt GBM patients were reviewed to capture clinical trial enrollment and off-label targeted therapy use based on NGS results. RESULTS Of the 557 IDHwt GBM patients with sequencing, 182 entered clinical trials at diagnosis (32.7%) and 213 (38.2%) entered after recurrence. Sequencing results for 130 patients (23.3%) were utilized for clinical trial enrollment for either targeted therapy indications (6.9 % upfront and 27.7% at recurrent clinical trials and 3.1% for off-label targeted therapy) or exploratory studies (55.4% upfront and 6.9% recurrent clinical trials). Median overall survival was 20.1 months with no survival difference seen between patients enrolled in clinical trials compared to those who were not, in a posthoc analysis. CONCLUSIONS While NGS testing has become essential for improved molecular diagnostics, our study illustrates that targeted gene panels remain underutilized for selecting therapy in GBM-IDHwt. Targeted therapy and clinical trial design remain to be improved to help leverage the potential of NGS in clinical care.

Abstract
CD19-directed chimerical antigen receptor T-cell (CAR-T) products have gained US Food and Drug Administration approval for systemic large B-cell lymphoma. Because of concerns about potential immune cell-associated neurotoxicity syndrome (ICANS), patients with primary central nervous system (CNS) lymphoma (PCNSL) were excluded from all pivotal CAR-T studies. We conducted a phase 1/2 clinical trial of tisagenlecleucel in a highly refractory patients with PCNSL and significant unmet medical need. Here, we present results of 12 relapsed patients with PCNSL who were treated with tisagenlecleucel and followed for a median time of 12.2 months (range, 3.64-23.5). Grade 1 cytokine release syndrome was observed in 7/12 patients (58.3%), low-grade ICANS in 5/12 (41.6%) patients, and only 1 patient experienced grade 3 ICANS. Seven of 12 patients (58.3%) demonstrated response, including a complete response in 6/12 patients (50%). There were no treatment-related deaths. Three patients had ongoing complete remission at data cutoff. Tisagenlecleucel expanded in the peripheral blood and trafficked to the CNS. Exploratory analysis identified T-cell, CAR T, and macrophage gene signatures in cerebrospinal fluid following infusion when compared with baseline. Overall, tisagenlecleucel was well tolerated and resulted in a sustained remission in 3/7 (42.9%) of initial responders. These data suggest that tisagenlecleucel is safe and effective in this highly refractory patient population. This trial was registered at www.clinicaltrials.gov as #NCT02445248.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
There is a need to establish biomarkers that distinguish between pseudoprogression (PsP) and true tumor progression in patients with glioblastoma (GBM) treated with chemoradiation.
Methods
We analyzed magnetic resonance spectroscopic imaging (MRSI) and dynamic susceptibility contrast (DSC) MR perfusion data in patients with GBM with PsP or disease progression after chemoradiation. MRSI metabolites of interest included intratumoral choline (Cho), myo-inositol (mI), glutamate + glutamine (Glx), lactate (Lac), and creatine on the contralateral hemisphere (c-Cr). Student T-tests and area under the ROC curve analyses were used to detect group differences in metabolic ratios and their ability to predict clinical status, respectively.
Results
28 subjects (63 ± 9 years, 19 men) were evaluated. Subjects with true progression (n = 20) had decreased enhancing region mI/c-Cr (P = .011), a marker for more aggressive tumors, compared to those with PsP, which predicted tumor progression (AUC: 0.84 [0.76, 0.92]). Those with true progression had elevated Lac/Glx (P = .0009), a proxy of the Warburg effect, compared to those with PsP which predicted tumor progression (AUC: 0.84 [0.75, 0.92]). Cho/c-Cr did not distinguish between PsP and true tumor progression. Despite rCBV (AUC: 0.70 [0.60, 0.80]) and rCBF (AUC: 0.75 [0.65, 0.84]) being individually predictive of tumor response, they added no additional predictive value when combined with MRSI metabolic markers.
Conclusions
Incorporating enhancing lesion MRSI measures of mI/c-Cr and Lac/Glx into brain tumor imaging protocols can distinguish between PsP and true progression and inform patient management decisions.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Magnetic resonance spectroscopic imaging (MRSI) can be used in glioma patients to map the metabolic alterations associated with IDH1,2 mutations that are central criteria for glioma diagnosis. The aim of this study was to achieve super-resolution (SR) MRSI using deep learning to image tumor metabolism in patients with mutant IDH glioma. METHODS We developed a deep learning method based on generative adversarial network (GAN) using Unet as generator network to upsample MRSI by a factor of 4. Neural networks were trained on simulated metabolic images from 75 glioma patients. The performance of deep neuronal networks was evaluated on MRSI data measured in 20 glioma patients and 10 healthy controls at 3T with a whole-brain 3D MRSI protocol optimized for detection of d-2-hydroxyglutarate (2HG). To further enhance structural details of metabolic maps we used prior information from high-resolution anatomical MR imaging. SR MRSI was compared to ground truth by Mann-Whitney U-test of peak signal-to-noise ratio (PSNR), structure similarity index measure (SSIM), feature-based similarity index measure (FSIM), and mean opinion score (MOS). RESULTS Deep learning SR improved PSNR by 17%, SSIM by 5%, FSIM by 7%, and MOS by 30% compared to conventional interpolation methods. In mutant IDH glioma patients proposed method provided the highest resolution for 2HG maps to clearly delineate tumor margins and tumor heterogeneity. CONCLUSIONS Our results indicate that proposed deep learning methods are effective in enhancing spatial resolution of metabolite maps. Patient results suggest that this may have great clinical potential for image guided precision oncology therapy.

Abstract
The 2016 revised fourth edition of the World Health Organization (WHO) classification of central nervous system (CNS) tumors incorporated molecular features with histologic grading, revolutionizing how oncologists conceptualize primary brain and spinal cord tumors as well as providing new insights into their management and prognosis. The 2021 revised fifth edition of the WHO classification further integrates molecular alterations for CNS tumor categorization, updating current understanding of the pathophysiology of many of these disease entities. Here, the authors review changes in the new classification for the most common primary adult tumors-gliomas (including astrocytomas, oligodendrogliomas, and ependymomas) and meningiomas-highlighting the key genomic alterations for each group classification to help clinicians interpret them as they consider therapeutic options-including clinical trials and targeted therapies-and discuss the prognosis of these tumors with their patients. The revised, updated 2021 WHO classification also further integrates molecular alterations in the classification of pediatric CNS tumors, but those are not covered in the current review.

Abstract
MR spectroscopic imaging (MRSI) noninvasively maps the metabolism of human brains. In particular, the imaging of D-2-hydroxyglutarate (2HG) produced by glioma isocitrate dehydrogenase (IDH) mutations has become a key application in neuro-oncology. However, the performance of full field-of-view MRSI is limited by B0 spatial nonuniformity and lipid artifacts from tissues surrounding the brain. Array coils that multiplex RF-receive and B0 -shim electrical currents (AC/DC mixing) over the same conductive loops provide many degrees of freedom to improve B0 uniformity and reduce lipid artifacts. AC/DC coils are highly efficient due to compact design, requiring low shim currents (<2 A) that can be switched fast (0.5 ms) with high interscan reproducibility (10% coefficient of variation for repeat measurements). We measured four tumor patients and five volunteers at 3 T and show that using AC/DC coils in addition to the vendor-provided second-order spherical harmonics shim provides 19% narrower spectral linewidth, 6% higher SNR, and 23% less lipid content for unrestricted field-of-view MRSI, compared with the vendor-provided shim alone. We demonstrate that improvement in MRSI data quality led to 2HG maps with higher contrast-to-noise ratio for tumors that coincide better with the FLAIR-enhancing lesions in mutant IDH glioma patients. Smaller Cramér-Rao lower bounds for 2HG quantification are obtained in tumors by AC/DC shim, corroborating with simulations that predicted improved accuracy and precision for narrower linewidths. AC/DC coils can be used synergistically with optimized acquisition schemes to improve metabolic imaging for precision oncology of glioma patients. Furthermore, this methodology has broad applicability to other neurological disorders and neuroscience.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW We review the preclinical and clinical experience with first and subsequent generation Bruton's tyrosine kinase inhibitors in B-cell lymphoproliferative diseases, highlighting the rationale for their clinical use in primary central nervous system diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (PCNSL). RECENT FINDINGS Growing knowledge on the molecular and genetic profile of PCNSL has provided the basis for new drug development targeting aberrantly activated oncogenic signal transduction pathways. PCNSL exhibits frequent genetic alterations of components of the B-cell and Toll-like receptor signalling pathways. On the basis of these discoveries and the limited efficacy obtained with chemotherapy in refractory and relapsed PCNSL, activity of new targeted agents, such as Bruton's tyrosine kinase inhibitors, has been explored with promising results. SUMMARY Innovative therapeutic strategies, applied in first line, have contributed to improved outcomes in patients with PCNSL, making this disease potentially curable in young and fit patients. However, response to induction therapies remains suboptimal and the best consolidative therapy has yet to be defined. In this regard, given the activity of Bruton's tyrosine kinase inhibitors in the refractory and relapsed PCNSL setting, these agents are currently being explored as part of combination regimens for induction therapy of newly diagnosed PCNSL.

Abstract
Background Patients with recurrent glioblastoma (GBM) are often treated with antiangiogenic agents, such as bevacizumab (BEV). Despite therapeutic promise, conventional MRI methods fail to help determine which patients may not benefit from this treatment. Purpose To use MR spectroscopic imaging (MRSI) with intermediate and short echo time to measure corrected myo-inositol (mI)normalized by contralateral creatine (hereafter, mI/c-Cr) in participants with recurrent GBM treated with BEV and to investigate whether such measurements can help predict survivorship before BEV initiation (baseline) and at 1 day, 4 weeks, and 8 weeks thereafter. Materials and Methods In this prospective longitudinal study (2016-2020), spectroscopic data on mI-a glial marker and osmoregulator within the brain-normalized by contralateral creatine in the intratumoral, contralateral, and peritumoral volumes of patients with recurrent GBM were evaluated. Area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC) was calculated for all volumes at baseline and 1 day, 4 weeks, and 8 weeks after treatment to determine the ability of mI/c-Cr to help predict survivorship. Results Twenty-one participants (median age ± standard deviation, 62 years ± 12; 15 men) were evaluated. Lower mI/c-Cr in the tumor before and during BEV treatment was predictive of poor survivorship, with receiver operating characteristic analyses showing an AUC of 0.75 at baseline, 0.87 at 1 day after treatment, and 1 at 8 weeks after. A similar result was observed in contralateral normal-appearing tissue and the peritumoral volume, with shorter-term survivors having lower levels of mI/c-Cr. In the contralateral volume, a lower ratio of mI to creatine (hereafter, mI/Cr) predicted shorter-term survival at baseline and all other time points. Within the peritumoral volume, lower mI/c-Cr levels were predictive of shorter-term survival at baseline (AUC, 0.80), at 1 day after treatment (AUC, 0.93), and at 4 weeks after treatment (AUC, 0.68). Conclusion Lower levels of myo-inositol normalized by contralateral creatine within intratumoral, contralateral, and peritumoral volumes were predictive of poor survivorship and antiangiogenic treatment failure as early as before bevacizumab treatment. Adapting MR spectroscopic imaging alongside conventional MRI modalities conveys critical information regarding the biologic characteristics of tumors to help better treat individuals with recurrent glioblastoma.

Abstract
BACKGROUND We aimed to investigate the detection rate of body CT or PET/CT for sites of extracranial disease in patients with a new pathological diagnosis of CNS DLBCL and to identify factors associated with sites of extracranial disease. METHODS An international multicenter cohort study of consecutive immunocompetent patients with a new diagnosis of CNS DLBCL confirmed by brain biopsy who underwent CT and/or PET/CT to evaluate for sites of extracranial disease between 1998 and 2019. The primary outcome was the detection rate of extracranial lymphoma by CT or PET/CT. Subgroup analyses according to age and EBV status were also performed. Logistic regression analyses were performed to determine factors related to sites of extracranial disease. Detection rates of CT and PET/CT were compared. RESULTS 1043 patients were included. The overall detection rate of CT or PET/CT was 2.6% (27/1043). The treatment approach was adjusted in 74% of these patients. Multivariable analysis demonstrated that age>61-years (OR, 3.10; P=.016) and EBV positivity (OR, 3.78; P=.045) were associated with greater odds of extracranial lymphoma. There was no statistically significant difference in detection rate between CT and PET/CT (P=.802). In patients≤61 years old, the false-referral rates were significantly higher than the detection rates (P<.001). CONCLUSION Our results showed increased odds of extracranial lymphoma in patients with older age or EBV-positive lymphoma. Treatment was adjusted in a majority of patients diagnosed with extracranial lymphoma, thereby supporting the current guidelines for the use contrast-enhanced body CT or PET/CT in patients with newly diagnosed CNS DLBCL.

Abstract
Advanced molecular and pathophysiologic characterization of primary central nervous system lymphoma (PCNSL) has revealed insights into promising targeted therapeutic approaches. Medical imaging plays a fundamental role in PCNSL diagnosis, staging, and response assessment. Institutional imaging variation and inconsistent clinical trial reporting diminishes the reliability and reproducibility of clinical response assessment. In this context, we aimed to: (1) critically review the use of advanced positron emission tomography (PET) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in the setting of PCNSL; (2) provide results from an international survey of clinical sites describing the current practices for routine and advanced imaging, and (3) provide biologically based recommendations from the International PCNSL Collaborative Group (IPCG) on adaptation of standardized imaging practices. The IPCG provides PET and MRI consensus recommendations built upon previous recommendations for standardized brain tumor imaging protocols (BTIP) in primary and metastatic disease. A biologically integrated approach is provided to addresses the unique challenges associated with the imaging assessment of PCNSL. Detailed imaging parameters facilitate the adoption of these recommendations by researchers and clinicians. To enhance clinical feasibility, we have developed both “ideal” and “minimum standard” protocols at 3T and 1.5T MR systems that will facilitate widespread adoption.

Abstract
Background Determining failure to anti-angiogenic therapy in recurrent glioblastoma (GBM) (rGBM) remains a challenge. The purpose of the study was to assess treatment response to bevacizumab-based therapy in patients with rGBM using MR spectroscopy (MRS). Methods We performed longitudinal MRI/MRS in 33 patients with rGBM to investigate whether changes in N-acetylaspartate (NAA)/Choline (Cho) and Lactate (Lac)/NAA from baseline to subsequent time points after treatment can predict early failures to bevacizumab-based therapies. Results After stratifying based on 9-month survival, longer-term survivors had increased NAA/Cho and decreased Lac/NAA levels compared to shorter-term survivors. ROC analyses for intratumoral NAA/Cho correlated with survival at 1 day, 2 weeks, 8 weeks, and 16 weeks. Intratumoral Lac/NAA ROC analyses were predictive of survival at all time points tested. At the 8-week time point, 88% of patients with decreased NAA/Cho did not survive 9 months; furthermore, 90% of individuals with an increased Lac/NAA from baseline did not survive at 9 months. No other metabolic ratios tested significantly predicted survival. Conclusions Changes in metabolic levels of tumoral NAA/Cho and Lac/NAA can serve as early biomarkers for predicting treatment failure to anti-angiogenic therapy as soon as 1 day after bevacizumab-based therapy. The addition of MRS to conventional MR methods can provide better insight into how anti-angiogenic therapy affects tumor microenvironment and predict patient outcomes.

Abstract
Recent studies suggest that the cyclin-dependent kinase (CDK) pathway may be a therapeutic target for brain metastases (BM). Here, we present interim analysis of a basket trial evaluating the intracranial efficacy of the CDK inhibitor palbociclib in patients with progressive BM and CDK alterations. Our study met its primary endpoint and provides evidence for performing molecular testing of archival BM tissue, if available, to inform the choice of CNS-penetrant targeted therapy.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Intracranial foreign body granuloma (FBG) is a rare inflammatory reaction to retained foreign material, manifesting acutely or months to years following neurosurgical procedures. Radiographically, FBG can mimic tumor progression, and tissue biopsy may be required to guide management. MATERIALS AND METHODS In this retrospective case series, we present unique clinico-radiographic and histopathological features of six neuro-oncological patients diagnosed with FBG between 2007 and 2019. RESULTS All six patients (4 women and 2 men, aged 29-54 [median, 30.5] years) had undergone surgical resection of a low- (n = 4) or high-grade (n = 2) glioma. FBG manifestation postsurgery ranged from 1 day to 4 years and was predominantly asymptomatic (n = 5/6). Magnetic resonance imaging universally demonstrated one or multiple peripherally enhancing lesion(s) adjacent to the resection cavity. Histopathology in all (n = 4/4) resected specimens demonstrated an inflammatory reaction to foreign material, confirming FBG. CONCLUSION Intracranial FBG constitutes a rare but challenging treatment-related condition effectively managed by surgery, with important therapeutic implications in neuro-oncology.

Abstract
BACKGROUND ONC201 is a dopamine receptor D2 (DRD2) antagonist that penetrates the blood-brain barrier. ONC201 efficacy has been shown in glioblastoma animal models and is inversely correlated with dopamine receptor DRD5 expression. ONC201 is well tolerated in adult recurrent glioblastoma patients with dosing every 3 weeks and has achieved an objective radiographic response in a patient harboring the H3 K27M mutation. METHODS In a window-of-opportunity arm, 6 adult subjects initiated ONC201 prior to re-resection of recurrent glioblastoma with intratumoral concentrations as the primary endpoint. An additional 20 adults with recurrent glioblastoma received single agent weekly oral ONC201 at 625 mg, with progression-free survival at 6 months (PFS6) by Response Assessment in Neuro-Oncology (RANO) criteria as the primary endpoint. RESULTS The window-of-opportunity arm achieved its primary endpoint with intratumoral ONC201 concentrations at ~24 hours following the second weekly dose ranging from 600 nM to 9.3 µM. Intratumoral pharmacodynamics assessed by activating transcriptional factor 4, death receptor 5, and apoptosis induction relative to archival samples were observed with the strongest intensity and uniformity among patients with low DRD5 tumor expression. The primary endpoint of PFS6 by RANO was not achieved at 5% in this molecularly unselected cohort; however, 1 of 3 patients enrolled with the H3 K27M mutation had a complete regression of enhancing multifocal lesions that remained durable for >1.5 years. No treatment modifications or discontinuations due to toxicity were observed, including in those who underwent re-resection. CONCLUSIONS Weekly ONC201 is well tolerated, and meaningful intratumoral concentrations were achieved. ONC201 may be biologically active in a subset of adult patients with recurrent glioblastoma.

MATERIALS AND METHODS In this study, a secondary analysis of T2-weighted fluid-attenuated inversion recovery (FLAIR) and T1-weighted postcontrast images from 48 patients (mean age, 56 years [range, 22-77 years]) diagnosed with glioblastoma were included from two prospective studies (ClinicalTrials.gov NCT00662506 [2009-2011] and NCT00756106 [2008-2011]). All patients underwent two baseline scans 2-6 days apart using identical imaging protocols on 3-T MRI systems. No treatment occurred between scan and rescan, and tumors were essentially unchanged visually. Radiomic features were extracted by using PyRadiomics (https://pyradiomics.readthedocs.io/) under varying conditions, including normalization strategies and intensity quantization. Subsequently, intraclass correlation coefficients were determined between feature values of the scan and rescan. RESULTS Shape features showed a higher repeatability than intensity (adjusted P < .001) and texture features (adjusted P < .001) for both T2-weighted FLAIR and T1-weighted postcontrast images. Normalization improved the overlap between the region of interest intensity histograms of scan and rescan (adjusted P < .001 for both T2-weighted FLAIR and T1-weighted postcontrast images), except in scans where brain extraction fails. As such, normalization significantly improves the repeatability of intensity features from T2-weighted FLAIR scans (adjusted P = .003 [z score normalization] and adjusted P = .002 [histogram matching]). The use of a relative intensity binning strategy as opposed to default absolute intensity binning reduces correlation between gray-level co-occurrence matrix features after normalization. CONCLUSION Both normalization and intensity quantization have an effect on the level of repeatability and redundancy of features, emphasizing the importance of both accurate reporting of methodology in radiomics articles and understanding the limitations of choices made in pipeline design.

Abstract
ONC201, a bitopic DRD2 antagonist and allosteric ClpP agonist, has shown encouraging efficacy in H3 K27M-mutant glioma. Given that the thalamus has the highest extra-striatal expression of DRD2, we performed an integrated preclinical and clinical analysis of ONC201 in thalamic H3 K27M-mutant glioma. ONC201 was effective in mouse intra-uterine electroporation (IUE)-generated H3 K27M-mutant gliomas, with an in vitro IC50 of 500 nM and 50% prolongation of median survival in vivo (p=0.02, n=14). We analyzed thalamic H3 K27M-mutant glioma patients treated with ONC201 on active clinical trials as of 5/22/19 enrollment (n=19 recurrent and 10 post-radiation, non-recurrent; 5–70 years old). As of 12/18/2019, PFS6 and OS12 are 26.3% and 36.8%, respectively, in the recurrent group. For non-recurrent patients, with median follow up of 21.9 months (8.6–26.6) from diagnosis, median PFS or OS have not been reached. This surpasses historical OS of 13.5 months. Best response by RANO includes 1 CR, 3 PR, 4 SD, 8 PD for recurrent patients and 2 PR, 4 SD, 1 PD for non-recurrent patients (4 on-trial patients experienced regressions that are yet unconfirmed responses). Median duration of response for recurrent patients is 14.0 months (2.0–33.1). Furthermore, H3 K27M cell-free tumor DNA in plasma and CSF correlated with MRI response. In summary, single agent ONC201 administered at recurrence, or adjuvantly following radiation, demonstrates promising clinical efficacy in thalamic H3 K27M-mutant glioma patients who currently have no effective treatments following radiation. Investigations are ongoing to assess whether micro-environmental DRD2 expression explains the early exceptional responses in thalamic H3 K27M-mutant glioma.

Abstract
Background Hypoxia is a driver of treatment resistance in glioblastoma. Antiangiogenic agents may transiently normalize blood vessels and decrease hypoxia before excessive pruning of vessels increases hypoxia. The time window of normalization is dose and time dependent. We sought to determine how VEGF blockade with bevacizumab modulates tumor vasculature and the impact that those vascular changes have on hypoxia in recurrent glioblastoma patients. Methods We measured tumor volume, vascular permeability (Ktrans), perfusion parameters (cerebral blood flow/volume, vessel caliber, and mean transit time), and regions of hypoxia in patients with recurrent glioblastoma before and after treatment with bevacizumab alone or with lomustine using [18F]FMISO PET-MRI. We also examined serial changes in plasma biomarkers of angiogenesis and inflammation. Results Eleven patients were studied. The magnitude of global tumor hypoxia was variable across these 11 patients prior to treatment and it did not significantly change after bevacizumab. The hypoxic regions had an inefficient vasculature characterized by elevated cerebral blood flow/volume and increased vessel caliber. In a subset of patients, there were tumor subregions with decreased mean transit times and a decrease in hypoxia, suggesting heterogeneous improvement in vascular efficiency. Bevacizumab significantly changed known pharmacodynamic biomarkers such as plasma VEGF and PlGF. Conclusions The vascular signature in hypoxic tumor regions indicates a disorganized vasculature which, in most tumors, does not significantly change after bevacizumab treatment. While some tumor regions showed improved vascular efficiency following treatment, bevacizumab did not globally alter hypoxia or normalize tumor vasculature in glioblastoma.

Abstract
Cancer therapy-induced adverse effects on the brain are a major challenge in neuro-oncology. Brain tissue necrosis (treatment necrosis [TN]) as a consequence of brain directed cancer therapy remains an insufficiently characterized condition with diagnostic and therapeutic difficulties and is frequently associated with significant patient morbidity. A better understanding of the underlying mechanisms, improvement of diagnostic tools, development of preventive strategies, and implementation of evidence-based therapeutic practices are pivotal to improve patient management. In this comprehensive review, we address existing challenges associated with current TN-related clinical and research practices and highlight unanswered questions and areas in need of further research with the ultimate goal to improve management of patients affected by this important neuro-oncological condition.

Abstract
Primary central nervous system lymphoma (PCNSL) is an isolated type of lymphoma of the central nervous system and has a dismal prognosis despite intensive chemotherapy. Recent genomic analyses have identified highly recurrent mutations of MYD88 and CD79B in immunocompetent PCNSL, whereas LMP1 activation is commonly observed in Epstein-Barr virus (EBV)-positive PCNSL. However, a lack of clinically representative preclinical models has hampered our understanding of the pathogenic mechanisms by which genetic aberrations drive PCNSL disease phenotypes. Here, we establish a panel of 12 orthotopic, patient-derived xenograft (PDX) models from both immunocompetent and EBV-positive PCNSL and secondary CNSL biopsy specimens. PDXs faithfully retained their phenotypic, metabolic, and genetic features, with 100% concordance of MYD88 and CD79B mutations present in PCNSL in immunocompetent patients. These models revealed a convergent functional dependency upon a deregulated RelA/p65-hexokinase 2 signaling axis, codriven by either mutated MYD88/CD79B or LMP1 with Pin1 overactivation in immunocompetent PCNSL and EBV-positive PCNSL, respectively. Notably, distinct molecular alterations used by immunocompetent and EBV-positive PCNSL converged to deregulate RelA/p65 expression and to drive glycolysis, which is critical for intracerebral tumor progression and FDG-PET imaging characteristics. Genetic and pharmacologic inhibition of this key signaling axis potently suppressed PCNSL growth in vitro and in vivo. These patient-derived models offer a platform for predicting clinical chemotherapeutics efficacy and provide critical insights into PCNSL pathogenic mechanisms, accelerating therapeutic discovery for this aggressive disease. SIGNIFICANCE: A set of clinically relevant CNSL xenografts identifies a hyperactive RelA/p65-hexokinase 2 signaling axis as a driver of progression and potential therapeutic target for treatment and provides a foundational preclinical platform.

Abstract
Metabolic imaging of the human brain by in-vivo magnetic resonance spectroscopic imaging (MRSI) can non-invasively probe neurochemistry in healthy and disease conditions. MRSI at ultra-high field (≥ 7 T) provides increased sensitivity for fast high-resolution metabolic imaging, but comes with technical challenges due to non-uniform B0 field. Here, we show that an integrated RF-receive/B0-shim (AC/DC) array coil can be used to mitigate 7 T B0 inhomogeneity, which improves spectral quality and metabolite quantification over a whole-brain slab. Our results from simulations, phantoms, healthy and brain tumor human subjects indicate improvements of global B0 homogeneity by 55%, narrower spectral linewidth by 29%, higher signal-to-noise ratio by 31%, more precise metabolite quantification by 22%, and an increase by 21% of the brain volume that can be reliably analyzed. AC/DC shimming provide the highest correlation (R2 = 0.98, P = 0.001) with ground-truth values for metabolite concentration. Clinical translation of AC/DC and MRSI is demonstrated in a patient with mutant-IDH1 glioma where it enables imaging of D-2-hydroxyglutarate oncometabolite with a 2.8-fold increase in contrast-to-noise ratio at higher resolution and more brain coverage compared to previous 7 T studies. Hence, AC/DC technology may help ultra-high field MRSI become more feasible to take advantage of higher signal/contrast-to-noise in clinical applications.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Isocitrate dehydrogenase (IDH) mutant gliomas are a distinct subtype, reflected in the World Health Organization (WHO) 2016 revised diagnostic criteria. To inform IDH-targeting trial design, we sought to characterize outcomes exclusively within IDH mutant gliomas. METHODS We retrospectively analyzed 275 IDH mutant glioma patients treated at our institution. Progression was determined using low-grade glioma criteria from Response Assessment in Neuro-Oncology. We calculated survival statistics with the Kaplan-Meier method, and survival proportions were correlated with molecular, histologic, and clinical factors. RESULTS During a median follow-up of 6.4 years, 44 deaths (7.6%) and 149 first progression (PFS1) events (54.1%) were observed. Median PFS1 was 5.7 years (95% CI: 4.7-6.4) and OS was 18.7 years (95% CI: 12.2 y-not reached). Consistent with prior studies, we observed an association of grade, molecular diagnosis, and treatment with PFS1. Following the first progressive episode, 79 second progression events occurred during a median follow-up period of 4.1 years. Median PFS following an initial progressive event (PFS2) was accelerated at 3.1 years (95% CI: 2.1-4.1). PFS2 was a surrogate prognostic marker, identifying patients with poorer overall survival. CONCLUSION We report outcomes in a large cohort of IDH mutant glioma, providing a well-characterized historical control population for future clinical trial design. Notably, the interval between first and second recurrence (PFS2, 3.0 y) is shorter than time from diagnosis to first recurrence (PFS1, 5.7 y), evidence that these tumors clinically degenerate from an indolent course to an accelerated malignant phase. Thus, PFS2 represents a relevant outcome for trials investigating drug efficacy at recurrence.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Update 3 of the Consortium to Inform Molecular and Practical Approaches to CNS Tumor Taxonomy (cIMPACT-NOW) recognizes amplification of epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) as one important aberration in diffuse gliomas (World Health Organization [WHO] grade II/III). While these recommendations endorse testing, a cost-effective, clinically relevant testing paradigm is currently lacking. Here, we use real-world clinical data to propose a financially effective diagnostic test algorithm in the context of new guidelines. METHODS To determine the prevalence, distribution, neuroradiographic features (Visually Accessible REMBRANDT Images [VASARI]), and prognostic relevance of EGFR amplification in lower-grade gliomas, we assembled a consecutive series of diffuse gliomas. For validation we included publicly available data from The Cancer Genome Atlas. For a cost-utility analysis we compared combined EGFR and isocitrate dehydrogenase (IDH) testing, EGFR testing based on IDH results, and no EGFR testing. RESULTS In n = 71 WHO grade II/III gliomas, we identified EGFR amplification in 28.2%. With one exception, all EGFR amplifications occurred in IDH-wildtype gliomas. Comparison of overall survival showed that EGFR amplification denotes a significantly more aggressive subset of tumors (P < 0.0001, log-rank). The radiologic phenotype in the EGFR-amplified tumors includes diffusion restriction (15%, P = 0.02), >5% tumor contrast enhancement (75%, P = 0.016), and mild (not avid) enhancement (P = 0.016). The proposed testing algorithm reserves EGFR fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) testing for IDH-wildtype cases. Implementation would result in ~37.9% cost reduction at our institution, or about $1.3-4 million nationally. CONCLUSION EGFR-amplified diffuse gliomas are "glioblastoma-like" in their behavior and may represent undersampled glioblastomas, or subsets of IDH-wildtype diffuse gliomas with inherently aggressive biology. EGFR FISH after IDH testing is a financially effective and clinically relevant test algorithm for routine clinical practice.

Abstract
Glioblastomas are the most common form of malignant primary brain tumor and an important cause of morbidity and mortality. In recent years there have been important advances in understanding the molecular pathogenesis and biology of these tumors, but this has not translated into significantly improved outcomes for patients. In this consensus review from the Society for Neuro-Oncology (SNO) and the European Association of Neuro-Oncology (EANO), the current management of isocitrate dehydrogenase wildtype (IDHwt) glioblastomas will be discussed. In addition, novel therapies such as targeted molecular therapies, agents targeting DNA damage response and metabolism, immunotherapies, and viral therapies will be reviewed, as well as the current challenges and future directions for research.

Abstract
Abstract
Although lung adenocarcinomas frequently metastasize to the brain, treatment options for lung adenocarcinoma brain metastases (BM-LUAD) are limited. We discovered novel candidate drivers of progression by using case-control analyses to compare whole-exome sequencing data from a cohort of 73 BM-LUAD to a control cohort of 503 primary lung adenocarcinomas. We identified MYC, YAP1 and MMP13 as genomic regions with significantly more frequent amplifications in BM-LUAD compared to control cohort. We validated that MYC, YAP1 and MMP13 can drive brain metastases in a patient-derived xenograft mouse model, where incidence of brain metastases was higher in mice injected with tumor cells expressing the candidate drivers compared to tumor cells expressing LacZ. These results indicate that somatic alterations can drive lung adenocarcinomas to metastasize to the brain. These candidate drivers may serve as therapeutic targets in patients with brain metastatic lung adenocarcinomas.

Abstract
LESSONS LEARNED The findings from this study using monotherapy with pemetrexed in a pretreated patient population are, overall, encouraging. Unlike high-dose methotrexate, which requires several days of inpatient hospitalization, pemetrexed is relatively easy to administer in the outpatient setting and remains a viable treatment option in this patient population. The maximum tolerated dose of pemetrexed administered (900 mg/m2 every 2 weeks) was generally well tolerated and showed activity in patients with relapsed or refractory CNSL. BACKGROUND There is currently no standard salvage treatment for patients with relapsed/refractory central nervous system (CNS) lymphoma (CNSL). We report the results of a phase I study of pemetrexed, an antifolate drug with broader activity than methotrexate (MTX). We provide the safety, tolerability, and maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of pemetrexed in patients with recurrent CNSL. METHODS Through October 2015, 17 patients with relapsed/refractory CNSL received pemetrexed every 2 weeks with the first cohort receiving 600 mg/m2 and dose escalation in increments of 300 mg/m2 to a maximum of 1,200 mg/m2 . Three patients were to enroll at each dose level with expansion to six patients in the event of dose-limiting toxicity. Patients with both primary CNS lymphoma (PCNSL) and secondary CNS lymphoma (SCNSL) could be enrolled. RESULTS Seventeen patients were evaluable with a median age of 63.7 years. Main adverse events included fatigue (82.4%), anemia (82.4%), and neutropenia (70.6%). The MTD was established at 900 mg/m2 . Dose-limiting toxicities were recorded in one patient in the 600 mg/m2 cohort and in two patients in the 1,200 mg/m2 cohort. Fourteen patients were evaluable for response assessment; 21.4% achieved a complete response, 35.7% had a partial response, 14.3% had stable disease, and 28.6% had progressive disease. The median progression-free survival was 4.2 months. The median overall survival was 44.5 months. In the original study protocol, the plan was to add an expansion cohort of six patients at MTD level. However, the first phase of the study was characterized by slow recruitment. Therefore, after achieving the primary objective of the study and establishing the MTD, the investigators decided to amend the protocol and to close the study. CONCLUSION Pemetrexed administered at 900 mg/m2 every 2 weeks exhibits single-agent activity in patients with recurrent CNSL; it is well tolerated, and side effects are manageable.

Abstract
PURPOSE Despite the high frequency of EGFR genetic alterations in glioblastoma (GBM), EGFR-targeted therapies have not had success in this disease. To improve the likelihood of efficacy, we targeted adult patients with recurrent GBM enriched for EGFR gene amplification, which occurs in approximately half of GBM, with dacomitinib, a second-generation, irreversible epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) tyrosine kinase inhibitor that penetrates the blood-brain barrier, in a multicenter phase II trial. PATIENTS AND METHODS We retrospectively explored whether previously described EGFR extracellular domain (ECD)-sensitizing mutations in the context of EGFR gene amplification could predict response to dacomitinib, and in a predefined subset of patients, we measured post-treatment intratumoral dacomitinib levels to verify tumor penetration. RESULTS We found that dacomitinib effectively penetrates contrast-enhancing GBM tumors. Among all 56 treated patients, 8 (14.3%) had a clinical benefit as defined by a duration of treatment of at least 6 months, of whom 5 (8.9%) remained progression free for at least 1 year. Presence of EGFRvIII or EGFR ECD missense mutation was not associated with clinical benefit. We evaluated the pretreatment transcriptome in circulating extracellular vesicles (EVs) by RNA sequencing in a subset of patients and identified a signature that distinguished patients who had durable benefit versus those with rapid progression. CONCLUSION While dacomitinib was not effective in most patients with EGFR-amplified GBM, a subset experienced a durable, clinically meaningful benefit. Moreover, EGFRvIII and EGFR ECD mutation status in archival tumors did not predict clinical benefit. RNA signatures in circulating EVs may warrant investigation as biomarkers of dacomitinib efficacy in GBM.

Abstract
Primary central nervous system lymphoma (PCNSL) is a rare form of non-Hodgkin lymphoma that affects the brain parenchyma, spinal cord, eyes, and cerebrospinal fluid without evidence of systemic, non-CNS involvement. PCNSL is uncommon and only a few randomized trials have been completed in the first-line setting. Over the past decades, the prognosis of PCNSL has improved, mainly due to the introduction and widespread use of high-dose methotrexate, which is now the backbone of all first-line treatment polychemotherapy regimens. Despite this progress, durable remission is recorded in only 50% of patients, and therapy can be associated with significant late neurotoxicity. Here, we overview the epidemiology, clinical presentation, staging evaluation, prognosis, and current up-to-date treatment of immunocompetent PCNSL patients.

Abstract
Background Patients with malignant gliomas have a poor prognosis. However, little is known about patients' and caregivers' understanding of the prognosis and the primary treatment goal. Methods We conducted a prospective study in patients with newly diagnosed malignant gliomas (N = 72) and their caregivers (N = 55). At 12 weeks after diagnosis, we administered the Prognosis and Treatment Perceptions Questionnaire to assess understanding of prognosis and the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale to evaluate mood. We used multivariable regression analyses to explore associations between prognostic understanding and mood and McNemar tests to compare prognostic perceptions among patient-caregiver dyads (N = 48). Results A total of 87.1% (61/70) of patients and 79.6% (43/54) of caregivers reported that it was "very" or "extremely" important to know about the patient's prognosis. The majority of patients (72.7%, [48/66]) reported that their cancer was curable. Patients who reported that their illness was incurable had greater depressive symptoms (B = 3.01, 95% CI, 0.89-5.14, P = .01). There was no association between caregivers' prognostic understanding and mood. Among patient-caregiver dyads, patients were more likely than caregivers to report that their primary treatment goal was cure (43.8% [21/48] vs 25.0% [12/48], P = .04) and that the oncologist's primary goal was cure (29.2% [14/48] vs 8.3% [4/48], P = .02). Conclusions Patients with malignant gliomas frequently hold inaccurate perceptions of the prognosis and treatment goal. Although caregivers more often report an accurate assessment of these metrics, many still report an overly optimistic perception of prognosis. Interventions are needed to enhance prognostic communication and to help patients cope with the associated distress.

Abstract
A high tumour mutational burden (hypermutation) is observed in some gliomas1-5; however, the mechanisms by which hypermutation develops and whether it predicts the response to immunotherapy are poorly understood. Here we comprehensively analyse the molecular determinants of mutational burden and signatures in 10,294 gliomas. We delineate two main pathways to hypermutation: a de novo pathway associated with constitutional defects in DNA polymerase and mismatch repair (MMR) genes, and a more common post-treatment pathway, associated with acquired resistance driven by MMR defects in chemotherapy-sensitive gliomas that recur after treatment with the chemotherapy drug temozolomide. Experimentally, the mutational signature of post-treatment hypermutated gliomas was recapitulated by temozolomide-induced damage in cells with MMR deficiency. MMR-deficient gliomas were characterized by a lack of prominent T cell infiltrates, extensive intratumoral heterogeneity, poor patient survival and a low rate of response to PD-1 blockade. Moreover, although bulk analyses did not detect microsatellite instability in MMR-deficient gliomas, single-cell whole-genome sequencing analysis of post-treatment hypermutated glioma cells identified microsatellite mutations. These results show that chemotherapy can drive the acquisition of hypermutated populations without promoting a response to PD-1 blockade and supports the diagnostic use of mutational burden and signatures in cancer.

Abstract
Brain metastases from lung adenocarcinoma (BM-LUAD) frequently cause patient mortality. To identify genomic alterations that promote brain metastases, we performed whole-exome sequencing of 73 BM-LUAD cases. Using case-control analyses, we discovered candidate drivers of brain metastasis by identifying genes with more frequent copy-number aberrations in BM-LUAD compared to 503 primary LUADs. We identified three regions with significantly higher amplification frequencies in BM-LUAD, including MYC (12 versus 6%), YAP1 (7 versus 0.8%) and MMP13 (10 versus 0.6%), and significantly more frequent deletions in CDKN2A/B (27 versus 13%). We confirmed that the amplification frequencies of MYC, YAP1 and MMP13 were elevated in an independent cohort of 105 patients with BM-LUAD. Functional assessment in patient-derived xenograft mouse models validated the notion that MYC, YAP1 or MMP13 overexpression increased the incidence of brain metastasis. These results demonstrate that somatic alterations contribute to brain metastases and that genomic sequencing of a sufficient number of metastatic tumors can reveal previously unknown metastatic drivers.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Clinical experience is limited for primary central nervous system (CNS) lymphoma that arises from the dura mater, which is denoted with the term primary dural lymphoma (PDL). This study was aimed at determining the relative incidence, presentation, and outcomes of PDL. METHODS The institutional databases of the Divisions of Neuro-Oncology at the Massachusetts General Hospital and the Yale School of Medicine were retrospectively searched for patients with primary CNS lymphoma. Patients with pathologically confirmed dural lymphoma and no evidence of primary cerebral or systemic involvement were identified. Clinical data, diagnostic findings, treatments, and outcomes were recorded. RESULTS A total of 20 patients with PDL were identified, and they represented 6.3% of the individuals with primary CNS lymphomas (20 of 316). Histopathological examination of PDL revealed the following underlying subtypes: diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (10 of 20 patients), marginal zone lymphoma (6 of 20), follicular lymphoma (2 of 20), undefined B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma (1 of 20), and T-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma (1 of 20). On imaging, all tumors appeared as extra-axial masses with avid contrast enhancement and mostly mimicked meningioma. The median apparent diffusion coefficient value was 667 ± 26 mm2 /s. Cerebrospinal fluid analyses and symptoms were nonspecific, and the diagnosis rested on tissue analysis. Therapeutic approaches included surgery, radiotherapy, and chemotherapy. The median overall survival was not reached after 5 years. Three patients were deceased at database closure because of tumor progression. The extent of tumor resection correlated positively with overall survival (P = .044). CONCLUSIONS PDL is a rare variant of primary CNS lymphoma that can be radiographically mistaken for meningioma. The outcome is excellent with multimodality treatment, and aggressive surgery may convey a survival advantage in select cases.

Abstract
Background Isocitrate dehydrogenase (IDH) mutations are highly frequent in glioma, producing high levels of the oncometabolite D-2-hydroxyglutarate (D-2HG). Hence, D-2HG represents a valuable imaging marker for IDH-mutated human glioma. Purpose To develop and evaluate a super-resolution three-dimensional (3D) MR spectroscopic imaging strategy to map D-2HG and tumor metabolism in IDH-mutated human glioma. Materials and Methods Between March and September 2018, participants with IDH1-mutated gliomas and healthy participants were prospectively scanned with a 3-T whole-brain 3D MR spectroscopic imaging protocol optimized for D-2HG. The acquired D-2HG maps with a voxel size of 5.2 × 5.2 × 12 mm were upsampled to a voxel size of 1.7 × 1.7 × 3 mm using a super-resolution method that combined weighted total variation, feature-based nonlocal means, and high-spatial-resolution anatomic imaging priors. Validation with simulated healthy and patient data and phantom measurements was also performed. The Mann-Whitney U test was used to check that the proposed super-resolution technique yields the highest peak signal-to-noise ratio and structural similarity index. Results Three participants with IDH1-mutated gliomas (mean age, 50 years ± 21 [standard deviation]; two men) and three healthy participants (mean age, 32 years ± 3; two men) were scanned. Twenty healthy participants (mean age, 33 years ± 5; 16 men) underwent a simulation of upsampled MR spectroscopic imaging. Super-resolution upsampling improved peak signal-to-noise ratio and structural similarity index by 62% (P < .05) and 7.3% (P < .05), respectively, for simulated data when compared with spline interpolation. Correspondingly, the proposed method significantly improved tissue contrast and structural information for the acquired 3D MR spectroscopic imaging data. Conclusion High-spatial-resolution whole-brain D-2-hydroxyglutarate imaging is possible in isocitrate dehydrogenase 1-mutated human glioma by using a super-resolution framework to upsample three-dimensional MR spectroscopic images acquired at lower resolution. © RSNA, 2020 Online supplemental material is available for this article.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Longitudinal measurement of glioma burden with MRI is the basis for treatment response assessment. In this study, we developed a deep learning algorithm that automatically segments abnormal fluid attenuated inversion recovery (FLAIR) hyperintensity and contrast-enhancing tumor, quantitating tumor volumes as well as the product of maximum bidimensional diameters according to the Response Assessment in Neuro-Oncology (RANO) criteria (AutoRANO). METHODS Two cohorts of patients were used for this study. One consisted of 843 preoperative MRIs from 843 patients with low- or high-grade gliomas from 4 institutions and the second consisted of 713 longitudinal postoperative MRI visits from 54 patients with newly diagnosed glioblastomas (each with 2 pretreatment "baseline" MRIs) from 1 institution. RESULTS The automatically generated FLAIR hyperintensity volume, contrast-enhancing tumor volume, and AutoRANO were highly repeatable for the double-baseline visits, with an intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) of 0.986, 0.991, and 0.977, respectively, on the cohort of postoperative GBM patients. Furthermore, there was high agreement between manually and automatically measured tumor volumes, with ICC values of 0.915, 0.924, and 0.965 for preoperative FLAIR hyperintensity, postoperative FLAIR hyperintensity, and postoperative contrast-enhancing tumor volumes, respectively. Lastly, the ICCs for comparing manually and automatically derived longitudinal changes in tumor burden were 0.917, 0.966, and 0.850 for FLAIR hyperintensity volume, contrast-enhancing tumor volume, and RANO measures, respectively. CONCLUSIONS Our automated algorithm demonstrates potential utility for evaluating tumor burden in complex posttreatment settings, although further validation in multicenter clinical trials will be needed prior to widespread implementation.

Abstract
Primary central nervous system lymphoma is a rare subtype of non-Hodgkin lymphoma that is confined to the brain, leptomeninges, or the eye and is associated with a relatively poor prognosis compared to other extranodal diffuse large B-cell lymphomas. However, methotrexate-based induction chemotherapy followed by consolidative chemotherapy or high-dose therapy and autologous stem cell transplantation is associated with improved survival and reduced neurotoxicity. Aberrant activation of B-cell receptor signaling and activation of nuclear factor kappa beta is a frequent genetic alteration and offers opportunities for targeted therapies in this lymphoma subtype.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Immune checkpoint blockade has systemic efficacy in patients with metastatic melanoma, including those with brain metastases (MBMs). However, immunotherapy-induced intracranial tumoral inflammation can lead to neurologic compromise, requiring steroids, which abrogate the systemic efficacy of this approach. We investigated whether upfront neurosurgical resection of MBM is associated with a therapeutic advantage when performed prior to initiation of immunotherapy. MATERIAL AND METHODS An institutional review board-approved, retrospective study identified 142 patients with MBM treated with immune checkpoint blockade between 2010 and 2016 at Massachusetts General Hospital, of whom 79 received surgery. Patients were classified based on the temporal relationship between immunotherapy, surgery, and development of central nervous system metastases. Overall survival (OS) was calculated from the date of diagnosis of MBM until death from any cause. Multivariate model building included a prognostic Cox model of OS, the effect of immunotherapy and surgical sequencing on OS, and the effect of immunotherapy and radiation sequencing on OS. RESULTS The 2-year overall survival for patients treated with cytotoxic T-lymphocyte antigen 4, programmed death 1, or combinatorial blockade was 19%, 54%, and 57%, respectively. Among immunotherapy-naïve melanoma brain metastases, surgery followed by immunotherapy had a median survival of 22.7 months (95% confidence interval [CI], 12.6-39.2) compared with 10.8 months for patients treated with immunotherapy alone (95% CI, 7.8-16.3) and 9.4 months for patients treated with immunotherapy followed by surgery (95% CI, 4.1 to ∞; p = .12). On multivariate analysis, immunotherapy-naïve brain metastases treated with immunotherapy alone were associated with increased risk of death (hazard ratio, 1.72; 95% CI, 1.00-2.99) compared with immunotherapy-naïve brain metastases treated with surgery followed by immunotherapy. CONCLUSION In treatment-naïve patients, early surgical resection for local control should be considered prior to commencing immunotherapy. A prospective, randomized trial comparing the sequence of surgery and immunotherapy for treatment-naïve melanoma brain metastases is warranted. IMPLICATIONS FOR PRACTICE In this retrospective study of 142 patients with melanoma brain metastases treated with immune checkpoint blockade, the development of melanoma brain metastases following immunotherapy was associated with decreased survival compared with diagnosis of immunotherapy-naïve brain metastases. The benefit of surgical intervention was seen in immunotherapy-naïve brain metastases in contrast to brain metastases that developed on immunotherapy. These results suggest that upfront local control with surgery for immunotherapy-naïve melanoma brain metastasis may provide a bridge toward immunotherapy-mediated systemic control.
