BACKGROUND Evidence from independent single center as well as multicenter phase II trials have suggested diffusion MRI is a strong predictive imaging biomarker for survival benefit in recurrent glioblastoma (rGBM) treated with anti-VEGF monotherapy, but not systemic chemotherapies or combination therapies with anti-VEGF agents. The current study builds on this body of evidence by evaluating these diffusion MR phenotypes in a large randomized phase III clinical trial. METHODS Patients with rGBM were enrolled in a phase III randomized (1:1), controlled trial (NCT02511405) to compare the efficacy and safety of bevacizumab (BV) versus bevacizumab in combination with ofranergene obadenovec (BV+VB-111), an anti-cancer viral therapy. In 170 patients with diffusion MRI available, pre-treatment enhancing tumor volume and ADC histogram analysis were used to phenotype patients as having high (>1.24 um2/ms) or low (< 1.24 um2/ms) ADCL, the mean value of the lower peak in a double Gaussian model of the ADC histogram within the contrast enhancing tumor. RESULTS Baseline tumor volume (P=0.3460) and ADCL (P=0.2143) did not differ between treatment arms. Univariate analysis showed that patients with high ADCL had a significant survival advantage when pooling all patients (P=0.0006), as well as when examining the BV (P=0.0159) and BV+VB-111 individually (P=0.0262). Multivariable Cox regression accounting for treatment arm, age, baseline tumor volume and ADCL identified continuous measures of tumor volume (P< 0.0001; HR=1.0212) and ADCL phenotypes (P=0.0012; HR=0.5574) as independent predictors of OS. CONCLUSION Baseline diffusion MRI and tumor volume are independent imaging biomarkers of OS in rGBM treated with BV or BV+VB-111. Since ADCL was predictive of OS in combination BV+VB-111, results support the working hypothesis that co-administration of VB-111 with BV may block any VB-111 anti-tumor effect, whereas VB-111 monotherapy or priming may result in higher efficacy of VB-111. |
