Comprehensive analysis of the ErbB receptor family in pediatric nervous system tumors and rhabdomyosarcoma

Pascale Varlet, Eric Bouffet, Michela Casanova, Felice Giangaspero, Manila Antonelli, Darren Hargrave, Ruth Ladenstein, Andy Pearson, Cynthia Hawkins, Fatima Barbara Koenig, Josef Rueschoff, Christian Schmauch, Claudia Buehnemann, Pilar Garin-Chesa, Norbert Schweifer, Martina Uttenreuther-Fischer, Neil Gibson, Carina Ittrich, Nicole Kraemer, Flavio Solca, Britta Stolze, Birgit Geoerger

Summary: The study found that high levels of ErbB receptor expression have heterogeneous distribution in most tumor types, and overexpression and/or amplification of EGFR/HER2 may serve as potential enrichment biomarkers for clinical trials of ErbB-targeted drugs.

Location, symptoms, and management of plexiform neurofibromas in 127 children with neurofibromatosis 1, attending the National Complex Neurofibromatosis 1 service, 2018-2019

Yoshua Colyn Collins-Sawaragi, Rosalie Ferner, Grace Vassallo, Germana De Agro, Simon Eccles, Jill Cadwgan, Darren Hargrave, Eileen Hupton, Judith Eelloo, Lauren Lunt, Vivian Tang, Emma Burkitt Wright, Karine Lascelles

Summary: This study provides an overview of the location, symptoms, and management of plexiform neurofibroma (PN) in children with Neurofibromatosis Type 1 (NF1) attending two national specialized services. The study found that PN primarily occurs in craniofacial and limb areas, with a significant proportion of patients experiencing disfigurement, pain, and impairment of function. The majority of patients were managed either conservatively or through surgical intervention, with a small percentage receiving MEK inhibitor therapy.

A 40-Year Cohort Study of Evolving Hypothalamic Dysfunction in Infants and Young Children (<3 years) with Optic Pathway Gliomas

Stefania Picariello, Manuela Cerbone, Felice D'Arco, Hoong-Wei Gan, Patricia O'Hare, Kristian Aquilina, Enrico Opocher, Darren Hargrave, Helen A. Spoudeas

Summary: Young children with optic pathway tumours are at risk of developing serious health issues affecting hormone, metabolic, and neurobehavioral functions. Factors such as tumor position, recurrence, treatment, age at diagnosis, and involvement of the hypothalamus contribute to the risk of complex health issues in these patients. Understanding the impact of tumor-induced midbrain injury and providing timely support for neurobehavioral and hormonal needs is crucial to improve the quality of life for survivors and their families.

Summary: This document provides guidelines for the use of [F-18]FDG and radiolabelled amino acid PET imaging in pediatric patients with brain gliomas. The recommendations are consensus opinions of experienced leaders in the field and further research is needed to support evidence-based recommendations.

Efficacy and Safety of Trametinib Monotherapy or in Combination With Dabrafenib in Pediatric BRAF V600-Mutant Low-Grade Glioma

Eric Bouffet, Birgit Geoerger, Christopher Moertel, James A. Whitlock, Isabelle Aerts, Darren Hargrave, Lisa Osterloh, Eugene Tan, Jeea Choi, Mark Russo, Elizabeth Fox

Summary: This study establishes pediatric dosing and pharmacokinetics, as well as efficacy and safety, of trametinib with or without dabrafenib in children with BRAF V600-mutant LGG. The recommended phase II dose of trametinib, with or without dabrafenib, was determined as 0.032 mg/kg or 0.025 mg/kg. Both monotherapy and combination therapy showed efficacy and tolerability in treating BRAF V600-mutant LGG.

A novel diagnostic method for a rare fungus: FcMBL facilitates Wickerhamomyces anomalus identification in an immunocompromised neonate

Conor J. Higgins, Kerry-Anne Kite, Nigel Klein, Michael Super, Michael T. Mccurdy, Darren Hargrave

Summary: Fungemia has a negative impact on patient outcomes, but current diagnostic methods lack sensitivity in identifying emerging rare fungal infections. This study reports a case of Wickerhamomyces anomalus infection in an immunocompromised neonate, where FcMBL bead-based matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight (MALDI-TOF) mass spectrometry (MS) identified the species approximately 30 hours before standard pathogen identification methods. The use of FcMBL bead-based MALDI-TOF MS may improve the speed and accuracy of identifying rare pathogens, leading to more effective treatment.

Pediatric high-grade gliomas and the WHO CNS Tumor Classification-Perspectives of pediatric neuro-oncologists and neuropathologists in light of recent updates

Summary: This study investigated the impact of the WHO classification on pediatric high-grade gliomas. It found differences between neuro-oncologists and neuropathologists in their perception of molecularly defined tumor types and the changes made in the classification. While improvements were perceived in the 2021 edition, there are still relevant issues that need to be addressed, emphasizing the need for collaboration between pathologists and oncologists.

Summary: Homogeneous and common objective disease assessments and standardised response criteria are essential for international clinical trials on CNS germ cell tumours. The current differences between European protocols and those of North America regarding radiological disease response assessment prompted the establishment of an international working group. This group developed new clinical imaging standards for the most common sites of CNS germ cell tumours, allowing for a more consistent evaluation of treatment response and facilitating comparison of treatment outcomes across international studies.
