Radiotherapy combined with nivolumab or temozolomide for newly diagnosed glioblastoma with unmethylated MGMT promoter: An international randomized phase III trial

Antonio Omuro et al.

Summary: This study showed that TMZ + RT had better efficacy than NIVO + RT in newly diagnosed GBM patients with unmethylated MGMT promoter. However, no new safety signals were detected with NIVO in this study.

Phase III trial of chemoradiotherapy with temozolomide plus nivolumab or placebo for newly diagnosed glioblastoma with methylated MGMT promoter

Michael Lim et al.

Summary: The study evaluated the addition of the immune checkpoint inhibitor nivolumab (NIVO) to radiotherapy (RT) + temozolomide (TMZ) in newly diagnosed glioblastoma patients and found that it did not improve survival in these patients.

CBTRUS Statistical Report: Primary Brain and Other Central Nervous System Tumors Diagnosed in the United States in 2015-2019

Quinn T. Ostrom et al.

Summary: The report provides the latest data on primary brain tumors in the United States, including incidence rates, mortality rates, and relative survival rates. The overall incidence rate is higher in females and non-Hispanic population, and glioblastoma is the most common malignant brain tumor, while meningioma is the most common non-malignant brain tumor. The relative survival rate is lower for malignant brain tumors and higher for non-malignant brain tumors.

Concurrent Dexamethasone Limits the Clinical Benefit of Immune Checkpoint Blockade in Glioblastoma

J. Bryan Iorgulescu et al.

Summary: The study indicates that concurrent dexamethasone therapy may have detrimental effects on immunotherapeutic approaches in patients with glioblastoma, by reducing T-lymphocyte numbers and functionality, as well as decreasing myeloid and natural killer cell populations.

Tumor Mutational Burden as a Predictor of Immunotherapy Response: Is More Always Better?

John H. Strickler et al.

Summary: While high tumor mutational burden (TMB-H) has shown promise as a biomarker in lung cancer, its broad applicability across all solid tumors is unclear. The FDA has approved the PD-1 inhibitor, pembrolizumab, as a therapy for all solid tumors with TMB equal to or greater than 10 mutations. However, there are risks and unanswered questions regarding the use of TMB as a biomarker.

What is the burden of proof for tumor mutational burden in gliomas?

Mustafa Khasraw et al.

Summary: Pan-cancer approvals have shown benefits in treating solid tumors, but concerns arise about generalizability to other tumor types, especially in managing patients with gliomas and other CNS tumors. The undefined cutoff for TMB-H and inherent immunological differences between gliomas and other cancers are key factors to consider. Further caution should be exercised in applying recent approvals, particularly in CNS tumors.

Very low mutation burden is a feature of inflamed recurrent glioblastomas responsive to cancer immunotherapy

Matthias Gromeier et al.

Summary: The study found that low tumor mutation burden is associated with longer survival after immunotherapy in recurrent glioblastoma patients, and this relationship is related to inflammatory gene signatures, which evolves upon recurrence.

High tumor mutation burden fails to predict immune checkpoint blockade response across all cancer types

D. J. McGrail et al.

Summary: Analysis of over 10,000 patient tumors from The Cancer Genome Atlas showed that TMB-H tumors had significantly higher response rates to immune checkpoint blockade in certain cancer types, while showing no significant benefit in others. These results do not support the use of TMB-H as a biomarker for ICB treatment across all solid cancer types, indicating the need for further tumor type-specific studies.

A randomized phase II trial of veliparib, radiotherapy, and temozolomide in patients with unmethylated MGMT glioblastoma: the VERTU study

Hao-Wen Sim et al.

Summary: The study evaluated the synergistic effect of veliparib with radiation and temozolomide in patients with MGMT-unmethylated glioblastoma. The veliparib-containing regimen showed feasibility and tolerability, but did not demonstrate significant clinical benefit compared to the standard treatment. Adverse events were primarily thrombocytopenia and neutropenia.
