Abstract
BACKGROUND Endogenous apolipoprotein (apo) E mediates neuroinflammatory responses and recovery after brain injury. Exogenously administered apoE-mimetic peptides effectively penetrate the central nervous system compartment and downregulate acute inflammation. CN-105 is a novel apoE-mimetic pentapeptide with excellent evidence of functional and histological improvement in preclinical models of intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH). The CN-105 in participants with Acute supraTentorial intraCerebral Hemorrhage (CATCH) trial is a first-in-disease-state multicenter open-label trial evaluating safety and feasability of CN-105 administration in patients with acute primary supratentorial ICH. METHODS Eligible patients were aged 30-80 years, had confirmed primary supratentorial ICH, and were able to intiate CN-105 administration (1.0 mg/kg every 6 h for 72 h) within 12 h of symptom onset. A priori defined safety end points, including hematoma volume, pharmacokinetics, and 30-day neurological outcomes, were analyzed. For clinical outcomes, CATCH participants were compared 1:1 with a closely matched contemporary ICH cohort through random selection. Hematoma volumes determined from computed tomography images on days 0, 1, 2, and 5 and ordinal modified Rankin Scale score at 30 days after ICH were compared. RESULTS In 38 participants enrolled across six study sites in the United States, adverse events occurred at an expected rate without increase in hematoma expansion or neurological deterioration. CN-105 treatment had an odds ratio (95% confidence interval) of 2.69 (1.31-5.51) for lower 30-day modified Rankin Scale score, after adjustment for ICH score, sex, and race/ethnicity, as compared with a matched contemporary cohort. CONCLUSIONS CN-105 administration represents an excellent translational candidate for treatment of acute ICH because of its safety, dosing feasibility, favorable pharmacokinetics, and possible improvement in neurological recovery.

Abstract
Background Of the 4 medulloblastoma subgroups, Group 3 is the most aggressive but the importance of angiogenesis is unknown. This study sought to determine the role of angiogenesis and identify clinically relevant biomarkers of tumor vascularity and survival in Group 3 medulloblastoma. Methods VEGFA mRNA expression and survival from several patient cohorts were analyzed. Group 3 xenografts were implanted intracranially in nude rats. Dynamic susceptibility weighted (DSC) MRI and susceptibility weighted imaging (SWI) were obtained. DSC MRI was used to calculate relative cerebral blood volume (rCBV) and flow (rCBF). Tumor vessel density and rat vascular endothelial growth factor alpha (VEGFA) expression were determined. Results Patient VEGFA mRNA levels were significantly elevated in Group 3 compared with the other subgroups (P < 0.001) and associated with survival. Xenografts D283, D341, and D425 were identified as Group 3 by RNA hierarchical clustering and MYC amplification. The D283 group had the lowest rCBV and rCBF, followed by D341 and D425 (P < 0.05). These values corresponded to histological vessel density (P < 0.05), rat VEGFA expression (P < 0.05), and survival (P = 0.002). Gene set enrichment analysis identified 5 putative genes with expression profiles corresponding with these findings: RNH1, SCG2, VEGFA, AGGF1, and PROK2. SWI identified 3 xenograft-independent categories of intratumoral vascular architecture with distinct survival (P = 0.004): organized, diffuse microvascular, and heterogeneous. Conclusions Angiogenesis plays an important role in Group 3 medulloblastoma pathogenesis and survival. DSC MRI and SWI are clinically relevant biomarkers for tumor vascularity and overall survival and can be used to direct the use of antivascular therapies for patients with Group 3 medulloblastoma.
