Low MGMT digital expression is associated with a better outcome of IDH1 wildtype glioblastomas treated with temozolomide

Excerpt:
MGMTp methylation was found in 55.5% (35/63) of IDHWT and 84.6% (11/13) of IDHMUT, and as expected, MGMTp methylation was significantly associated with a better response to TMZ.

Extended adjuvant temozolomide in newly diagnosed glioblastoma: A single-center retrospective study

Excerpt:
The results of subgroup analysis showed that patients with methylated MGMT in extended group had significantly longer OS and PFS than those in control group; patients with IDH1 mutation benefited more from extended adjuvant TMZ chemotherapy than those with wild-type IDH1....The therapeutic schedule of extended adjuvant TMZ significantly prolonged OS and PFS of patients with newly diagnosed GBM regardless of p53 mutation status, and patients with different MGMT methylation, IDH1 mutation and Ki67 expression level benefited differently from extended adjuvant TMZ chemotherapy.

Title:

Functional temozolomide sensitivity testing of patient-specific glioblastoma stem cell cultures is predictive of clinical outcome

Excerpt:
We found a heterogeneous response to temozolomide in the GSC culture cohort….TMZ sensitivity and MGMT methylation status were present (n=49), we found a moderate, statistically significant correlation between the variables (r=0.459, p=0.0009, Fig. 3A). Selecting only the cultures derived form TMZ-naïve patients (n=40) similarly revealed a moderate, statistically significant correlation (r=0.456, p=0.0031) between TMZ sensitivity and MGMT methylation status (Fig. 3B)....Contingency analyses of all (Fig. 3C) and the TMZ-naïve (Fig. 3D) cultures, further established the connection between MGMT promoter methylation and sensitivity to TMZ (p=0.0005 and p=0.0051, respectively).
