Fusion transcriptome landscape in Glioblastoma (SNO 2024)
Comprehensive molecular profiling reveals that approximately 10% of IDH WT GBMs carry oncogenic fusions that may be therapeutic targets. Broad spectrum of observed fusions underscores the need for novel clinical trial designs to allow efficient enrollment for prospective testing of potential targeted agents.

Efficacy of WSD0922-Fu in osimertinib-resistant NSCLC with central nervous system (CNS) metastases – Updates from the dose escalation cohort of a first-in-human phase 1 clinical trial (MC1914) (SNO 2023)
All patients with HGA received prior radiation and temozolomide. Furthermore, prolonged stable disease (9 cycles) was observed in a patient with EGFRvIII mutant GBM. Expansion cohorts are in progress to optimize WSD0922-Fu dose and schedule for future phase 2 development.

Improved overall survival of recurrent glioblastoma (GBM) patients with EGFR amplification and EGFR vIII mutations treated with osimertinib: a retrospective review (SNO 2023)
We conducted a retrospective review of rGBM patients with EGFR amplification and EGFRvIII mutations who received osimertinib in addition to other therapies such as bevacizumab, irinotecan, tumor-treating fields, and salvage radiation at recurrence. Despite the limitations of a retrospective study and small sample size, osimertinib is a promising targeted therapy for rGBM. Further research is warranted in a clinical trial to evaluate this treatment prospectively.

Longitudinal analysis of serum-derived extracellular vesicle RNA to monitor dacomitinib treatment response in EGFR-amplified recurrent glioblastoma patients. (PubMed, Neurooncol Adv)
Further analysis revealed genetic enrichment that enables stratification of responders from nonresponders prior to dacomitinib treatment as well as following administration. This study demonstrates that genetic composition analysis of serum EVs may aid in therapeutic stratification to identify patients with dacomitinib-responsive GBM.

Driver mutations dictate the immunological landscape and response to checkpoint immunotherapy of glioblastoma. (PubMed, Cancer Immunol Res)
Pharmacologic targeting of this axis induced a systemic decrease in the numbers of PMN-MDSC, facilitated responses to PD-1 and CTLA4 combination checkpoint blocking immunotherapy, and prolonged survival in mice bearing EGFRvIII-driven GBM. Our results uncover a relationship between cancer driver mutations, TIME composition and sensitivity to checkpoint blockade in GBM and support the stratification of patients with GBM for checkpoint blockade therapy based on integrated genotypic and immunological profiles.

In vivo efficacy and metabolism of a new synthetized dual EGFR-DNA targeting combi-molecule in a human stem cells-derived model of glioblastoma implanted intracranially in mice (AACR 2023)
The existing treatment (chemotherapy with temozolomide (TMZ)+radiotherapy) increases the median survival by 2-3 months...Conclusion. The results in toto suggest that the intact structure of AF143 is stable to metabolism, can cross the blood brain barrier and induce antitumour activity in a EGFRvIII expressing glioblastoma stem cell model.

With respect to cancer vaccines, rindopepimut has been well-studied in glioblastoma (GBM) patients with the EGFRvIII mutation, with early results from phase II trials showing possible efficacy in carefully selected GBM patients...However, it is important to keep in mind that the field is still in its infancy and many clinical trials are still early-phase. Several, clinical trials are currently underway to further explore the role of immunotherapy for CNS malignancies.

Preliminary results of the neratinib arm in the Individualized Screening Trial of Innovative Glioblastoma Therapy (INSIGhT): a phase II platform trial using Bayesian adaptive randomization (SNO 2021)
METHODS Patients with newly diagnosed MGMT-unmethylated glioblastoma were randomized to receive either radiotherapy with concomitant and adjuvant temozolomide or standard radiochemotherapy followed by adjuvant neratinib (240 mg daily). However, there was no significant improvement in OS in EGFR amplified/mutated patients (HR 1.05; p-value 0.87) between neratinib (median 14.2) compared to the control arm (median 14.6). CONCLUSION Neratinib prolonged PFS in the EGFR positive subpopulation but there was no overall PFS benefit, or any OS improvement.

Efficacy of osimertinib plus bevacizumab in glioblastoma patients with simultaneous EGFR amplification and EGFRvIII mutation. (PubMed, J Neurooncol)
While the osimertinib/bevacizumab combination was marginally effective in most GB patients with simultaneous EGFR amplification plus EGFRvIII mutation, a subgroup experienced a long-lasting meaningful benefit. The findings of this brief cohort justify the continuation of the research in a clinical trial. The pattern of resistance after exposure to osimertinib/bevacizumab includes known mechanisms in the regulation of EGFR, findings that contribute to the understanding and targeting in a stepwise rational this pathway.
