On August 6, 2024, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) granted traditional approval to vorasidenib (VORANIGO, Servier Pharmaceuticals, LLC) for the treatment of adult and pediatric patients 12 years and older with Grade 2 astrocytoma or oligodendroglioma with a susceptible isocitrate dehydrogenase-1 or 2 (IDH1 or IDH2) mutation following surgery including biopsy, sub-total resection, or gross total resection.

A Phase 0 Window of Opportunity Trial of LB100, a Protein Phosphatase 2A Inhibitor, in Patients with Recurrent Gliomas.

medRxiv

August 2025

Neurosurgical Oncology Unit, Surgical Neurology Branch, National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke, National Institutes of Health, Bethesda, MD 20892-1414.

Background: LB100 is a protein phosphatase 2A (PP2A) inhibitor. Glioma models show inhibition of PP2A by LB100 causes cell death. Whether LB100 crosses the human blood brain barrier (BBB) is unknown.

Background: This study explored MRI characteristics at the time of tumor progression to study pathologically-confirmed MT in IDHm 1p/19q-intact astrocytomas (IDHm-A) and IDHm 1p/19q-co-deleted oligodendrogliomas (IDHm-O).

Methods: N=64 patients with initial pathological grade 2 IDH-mutant glioma diagnosis who underwent repeated tissue sampling and were classified as pathologically-confirmed MT (n=35) or non-MT (n=29) with available pre-surgical anatomical (n=64), diffusion-weighted (n=61), and dynamic susceptibility contrast perfusion MRI (n=53) were retrospectively studied. Measurable contrast enhancement (>1000mm3), tumor volume, tumor growth rate, sphericity, median apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC), and normalized relative cerebral blood volume (nrCBV) were compared between MT vs.

Glioblastoma (GBM) is a highly aggressive and lethal brain tumor with very poor prognosis despite recent progress in multimodal treatments. Within glioma tissue, various niche cells such as macrophages and neutrophils form a unique glioma immune microenvironment (GIME) by interacting with heterogenous cancer cells, and this has been implicated in disease progression and responsiveness to immunomodulatory therapies. This study explores novel potential prognostic markers associated with the GIME using integrated bioinformatics analyses, including single-cell RNA-sequencing (scRNA-seq), and spatial transcriptome (ST) datasets of clinical GBM specimens.

MYCN amplification defines an aggressive phenotype in IDH-mutant gliomas.

J Pathol Clin Res

September 2025

Department of Pathology, State Key Laboratory of Oncology in South China, Guangdong Provincial Clinical Research Center for Cancer, Sun Yat-sen University Cancer Center, Guangzhou, PR China.

In alignment with the latest WHO classification system, which underscores the integration of molecular alterations in glioma diagnosis and grading, this study investigates the prognostic significance of MYCN amplification in IDH-mutant gliomas, a relationship that remains poorly characterized despite its established association with adverse outcomes in various malignancies. A cohort of 190 patients with IDH-mutant gliomas was analyzed for clinical and pathological characteristics. MYCN amplification status was determined using fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) with an MYCN-specific probe.
