Background: This study sought to evaluate the prognostic significance of the three WHO-defined molecular glioma subgroups (IDHwt, IDHmt/non-codel, and IDHmt/codel) in NRG Oncology/RTOG 0424, a phase II trial of high-risk low-grade gliomas treated with radiation (RT) and concurrent and adjuvant temozolomide (TMZ) after biopsy/surgical resection. Notably, this is the first clinical study to evaluate the prognostic value of the WHO subgroups in RT + TMZ-treated high-risk grade II (G2) gliomas using prospectively-collected long-term survival data. Methods:IDH1/2 mutation status was determined by next-generation sequencing. 1p/19q co-deletion status was determined by Oncoscan and/or 450K methylation data. Overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS) by marker status were determined by the Cox proportional hazard model and tested using the log-rank test in a post-hoc analysis. Patient pre-treatment characteristics were included as covariates in multivariate analyses. Results: Of all the eligible patients (N=129), 80 (62%) had sufficient quality DNA for both IDH and 1p/19q analyses. Of these 80, 54 (67.5%) were IDHmt, and 26 (32.5%) were IDHwt. Of the 54 IDHmt patients, 26 (32.5% of total, 48% of IDHmt) were IDHmt/codel, and 28 (35% of total, 52% of IDHmt) were IDHmt/non-codel. Both IDHmt subgroups were significantly correlated with longer PFS (IDHmt/co-del = 8.1yrs (5.2-not reached (NR)); IDHmt/non-codel = 7.5yrs (3.9-11.8); IDHwt = 1.0yr (0.6-1.7), p<0.001) and OS (IDHmt/co-del = 9.4yrs (8.2-NR); IDHmt/non-codel = 8.8yrs (5.9-NR); IDHwt = 2.3yrs (1.4-3.4), p<0.001) relative to the IDHwt subgroup. Upon univariate and multivariate analyses, both molecular IDHmt subgroup comparisons relative to IDHwt remained significant (p<0.001) even after incorporation of known clinical variables. Conclusions: These analyses suggest that G2 glioma patients harboring IDH1/2 mutations, regardless of co-deletion status, demonstrated longer survival with RT + TMZ relative to IDHwt tumors, although sample size is limited and analyses were post-hoc. These results also support the notion that outcomes for IDHwt high-risk G2 gliomas remain dismal (median = 2.3yrs, similar to G3 anaplastic astrocytoma); these patients should be separated from IDHmt patients in future G2 glioma trials, and warrant novel treatment strategies.
