Role of 3D volume growth rate for drug activity evaluation in meningioma clinical trials: the example of the CEVOREM study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

We aimed to improve the assessment of the drug activity in meningioma clinical trials based on the study of the 3D volume growth rate (3DVGR) in a series of aggressive meningiomas. We secondarily aimed to correlate 3DVGR study with patient outcome.

Methods

We performed a post hoc analysis based on volume data and 3DVGR extracted from CEVOREM study including 18 patients with 32 recurrent high-grade meningiomas and treated with everolimus and octreotide. The joint latent class model was used to classify tumor 3DVGR undertreatment.

Results

Class 1 includes lesions responding to treatment with decrease in volume in the first 3 months, and then a stabilization thereafter (9.5% of tumors) (mean pretreatment 3DVGR = 6.13%/month; mean undertreatment 3DVGR = -18.7%/
