EORTC 26981
 Improved response for patients with methylated
MGMT gene
 Epigenetic silencing of MGMT (O6-methylguanineDNA methyltransferase) DNA-repair gene by
promoter methylation compromises DNA repair and
has been associated with longer survival in patients
with glioblastoma who receive alkylating agents.
Hegi ME et al. N Engl J Med. 2005 Mar 10;352(10):997-1003.
MGMT Methylation
 Hegi, NEJM, 2005
 206 patients from EORTC 26891 trial assessed for MGMT
methylation status
 MethylMGMT found in 45%
 Results
 MethylMGMT was a favorable prognostic factor: HR =0.45
 For methylMGMT TMZ better than RT: 21.7 vs 15.3 months
 For unmethylMGMT, no statistically significant difference
 Conclusions
 GBM with methylMGMT benefited from TMZ, but
unmethylMGMT promoter did not benefit

Pseudoprogression
 Sanghera, Can J Neurol Sci, 2010
 Retrospective, 111 patients
 GBM or Gr.III with GBM-like radiographic features
 Used Stupp RT+TMZ protocol
 Pseudoprogression (psP) = no further radiographic
progression, without salvage therapy, within 6 months
after TMZ+RT
 Represent transient increase in vessel permeability and
damaged peritumoural BBB
Sanghera P. Can J Neirol Sci. 2010 Jan;37(1):36-42.
Pseudoprogression
 Results
 psP group had stable dexamethasone dose
 25% had evidence of early progression, with 32% of these
representing psP
 Median OS : whole cohort = 56.7 weeks
psP = 125 weeks
true early progression = 36 weeks
 Conclusion: Maintenance TMZ should not be stopped on
the basis of seemingly discouraging imaging features
within first three months after RT/TMZ.
Pseudoprogression

Pseudoprogression
 Brandes, JCO, 2008
 Cohort, 103 patients with MGMT status
 Treated with Stupp TMZ+RT protocol
 Results
 psP occurs in 91% of methylMGMT +ve GBM vs 41% -ve
 +ve methylMGMT and psP each improved survival

Patients more sensitive to treatment more likely to get psP
Brandes AA. J Clin Oncol. 2008 May 1;26(13):2192-7.
Pseudoprogression
 Sanghera, Clin Oncol, 2012
 Expert consensus on psP
 Poor efficacy 2nd line Tx so need to minimize
inappropriate withdrawal of adjuvant TMZ
 psP unlikely if radiographic progression over 2 mo
within 6 mo post-Tx
