Journal: Treating oligodendroglioma - An analysis of a homogeneous 1p/19q-codeleted and isocitrate dehydrogenase-mutant patient cohort. (Pubmed Central) - May 22, 2023 Whereas previous studies often comprise tumors with IDH wild type status and without 1p/19q-codeletion, this homogeneous ODG cohort, as defined by the current WHO classification, demonstrated PFS benefits for various therapies, especially concerning RCT. While this is generally in accordance with comparable studies, more prospective work on homogeneous patient cohorts is required to refine treatment guidelines and to determine the role of TMZ in ODG.

Pharmacological characterization of pediatric brain tumor PDX models in a single mouse trial format (Section 1; Poster Board #4) - Mar 14, 2023 - Abstract #AACR2023AACR_6642; However, several of the targeted agents showed a distinct efficacy profile: Cobimetinib was efficacious in 50% of the HGG (47d vs 28d in the sensitive subset) and Idanasutlin in 80% of the EP models (79d in the sensitive subset vs 52d)...This preclinical validation set gains even more importance using the accompanying molecular profiling data that are available not only for the PDX but also for the donor patient. Together with the breadth and depth of the still growing PDX collection, a unique preclinical platform for the development of drugs as well as companion diagnostics specifically for pediatric brain cancers is now available to the scientific community.
