Abstract

Purpose: We sought to investigate clinical outcomes of relapsed medulloblastoma and to compare molecular features between patient-matched diagnostic and relapsed tumors. Methods: Children and infants enrolled on either SJMB03 (NCT00085202) or SJYC07 (NCT00602667) trials who experienced medulloblastoma relapse were analyzed for clinical outcomes, including anatomic and temporal patterns of relapse and postrelapse survival. A largely independent, paired molecular cohort was analyzed by DNA methylation array and next-generation sequencing. Results: A total of 72 of 329 (22%) SJMB03 and 52 of 79 (66%) SJYC07 patients experienced relapse with significant representation of Group 3 and wingless tumors. Although most patients exhibited some distal disease (79%), 38% of patients with sonic hedgehog tumors experienced isolated local relapse. Time to relapse and postrelapse survival varied by molecular subgroup with longer latencies for patients with Group 4 tumors. Postrelapse radiation therapy among previously nonirradiated SJYC07 patients was associated with long-term survival. Reirradiation was only temporizing for SJMB03 patients. Among 127 patients with patient-matched tumor pairs, 9 (7%) experienced subsequent nonmedulloblastoma CNS malignancies. Subgroup (96%) and subtype (80%) stabilities were largely maintained among the remainder. Rare subgroup divergence was observed from Group 4 to Group 3 tumors, which is coincident with genetic alterations involving MYC, MYCN, and FBXW7. Subgroup-specific patterns of alteration were identified for driver genes and chromosome arms. Conclusion: Clinical behavior of relapsed medulloblastoma must be contextualized in terms of up-front therapies and molecular classifications. Group 4 tumors exhibit slower biological progression. Utility of radiation at relapse is dependent on patient age and prior treatments. Degree and patterns of molecular conservation at relapse vary by subgroup. Relapse tissue enables verification of molecular targets and identification of occult secondary malignancies.

Although extensive genomic characterization of medulloblastoma has identified four biologically and clinically distinct subgroups (wingless [WNT], sonic hedgehog [SHH], Group 3, and Group 4), most studies have relied on diagnostic samples that have not been exposed to tumor-directed therapies. 12 Comparative molecular studies of diagnostic versus relapsed medulloblastoma have suggested divergent clonal selection, leading to emergence of specific molecular alterations at relapse in the context of subgroup conservation. 13-16 However, the generalizability of such findings is diminished by relatively modest cohort sizes and employment of different molecular assays. Additionally, exclusion of secondary CNS malignancies subsequent to medulloblastoma therapy, particularly high-grade gliomas, requires robust classification methods to prevent inadvertent cross-entity comparisons and may represent a key limitation of previous comparative studies. 17,18 Multiple recent studies have leveraged DNA methylation profiling to describe additional intertumoral heterogeneity within the core medulloblastoma subgroups. 19-21 These subtypes, primarily defined among SHH (a,b,g, and d) and Groups 3 and 4 (I-VIII) tumors, have distinctive genetic and clinical features. 22,23 Furthermore, subtype-defined risk paradigms are an active area of investigation. However, contextualization of these subtypes in relapsed disease and assessment of conservation at relapse are lacking. In this study, subgroup-specific clinical behavior of relapsed medulloblastoma is described for patients enrolled on two, multi-institutional, risk-adapted clinical trials. A largely independent, paired molecular cohort composed of patientmatched diagnostic and relapse tumors is investigated to determine the molecular features of medulloblastoma relapse using DNA methylation profiling and next-generation sequencing. METHODS Patients and Samples Study populations are summarized in the Data Supplement (online only). Eligible patients with relapsed medulloblastoma from two multi-institutional, risk-adapted clinical trials, SJMB03 (NCT00085202; Gajjar et al 24 and SJYC07 (NCT00602667), 23 were included (Appendix Table A1, online only; Data Supplement). Patients with a clinical diagnosis of nonmedulloblastoma subsequent malignancy were excluded. Given the differing eligibility criteria, risk stratifications, and treatment protocols between the trials, patients from each trial were analyzed separately for clinical outcomes based on molecular features garnered from primary tumor specimens. A largely independent, paired molecular cohort of 127 patients with formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded (FFPE) or frozen tissue specimens available from both their histopathologically diagnosed primary medulloblastoma and relapse or subsequent tumors was also assembled (Appendix Table A2, online only; Data Supplement). Comparative molecular analyses were performed among the paired molecular cohort using patient-matched primary and relapsed tumor specimens. Tumor Molecular Profiling Tumor specimens were analyzed using Infinium Methylation EPIC or 450K BeadChip arrays (Illumina, San Diego, CA) from either freshly frozen or FFPE tissue (Data Supplement). Medulloblastoma subgroup and subtype predictions were determined using DNA methylation–based classification of CNS tumors (MolecularNeuropathology, Heidelberg, Germany, version 11b4) and trained random forest predictions. 18 Genome-wide DNA copy number alterations were inferred from DNA methylation arrays using the Conumee R package. Next-generation (whole-exome or targeted gene panel) sequencing was performed on tumor samples with sufficient material available. Additional details regarding bioinformatic processing are given in the Appendix Methods (Data Supplement). Genomic datasets included in this CONTEXT Key Objective To determine the clinical outcomes and molecular features of relapsed medulloblastoma. Knowledge Generated Time to relapse and postrelapse survival are associated with subgroup with Group 4 tumors exhibiting slower biological progression. Utility of radiation therapy at relapse depends on age and previous therapies. Most relapses exhibit concordant subgroup classifications, except in the cases of occult secondary malignancies or rare divergence from group 4 to group 3. Driver gene and chromosome arm alteration patterns vary according to molecular subgroup. Relevance Future trials for relapsed medulloblastoma must be contextualized by molecular subgroup and up-front therapies. Relapse tissue should be acquired and used for confirmation of diagnosis and verification of molecular targets. 2© 2021 by American Society of Clinical Oncology Kumar et al Downloaded from ascopubs.org by 79.168.162.59 on February 5, 2021 from 079.168.162.059 Copyright © 2021 American Society of Clinical Oncology.

Hazard ratios (HRs) with associated 95% CIs and Pvalues were computed using Cox regression. Distributions of categorical variables were compared using Fisher’s exact or chi-square test. Multiple testing correction was performed using false discovery rate. Statistical analyses were performed using R version 3.5.1 and are further detailed in the Appendix Methods (Data Supplement). RESULTS Incidence of Relapsed Disease An overview of inclusion criteria, risk stratifications, and treatment protocols for SJMB03 and SJYC07 is shown in Figure 1A.Atotalof72of329(22%)patientsfrom SJMB03and52of79fromSJYC07(66%)relapsed(Fig 1B). Appendix Table A1 summarizes the demographic and clinical characteristics of relapsed patients from each trial according to molecular subgroup. Notably, WNT subgroup relapsed medulloblastomas were absent in both trials. Distributions of subgroups across clinical trial risk groups for relapsed patients are shown in Figure 1C. Subgroup distribution between relapsed and nonrelapsed patients was not uniform in either SJMB03 (P5.0019, chi-square test) or SJYC07 (P5.00083, chi-square test; Fig 1B). Compared with Group 3 tumors, Group 4 tumors had a lower relapse rate in SJMB03 (odds ratio [OR], 0.31; 95% CI, 0.16 to 0.61), whereas SHH tumors had a lower relapse rate in SJYC07 (OR, 0.08; 95% CI, 0.01 to 0.33). The distribution of novel subtypes 19,20,22,23 between relapsed and nonrelapsed patients was not uniform for Groups 3 and 4 subtypes in SJMB03 (P,.0001, chisquare test) or SHH subtypes in SJYC07 (P5.0058, chisquare test; Data Supplement). Proportions of relapsed patients between SJMB03 and SJYC07 differed for novel Groups 3 and 4 subtypes IV (P,.0001, Fisher’s exact test) and VII (P,.0001, Fisher’s exact test). Time to Relapse The median time to relapse was 1.64 years (interquartile range [IQR], 0.91-3.03) for SJMB03 and 0.72 year (IQR, 0.47-1.00) for SJYC07 (Data Supplement). For SJMB03, time to relapse varied by molecular subgroup (P5.00087, log-rank test) with a median time to relapse for patients with Group 4 tumor of 2.79 years (IQR, 1.99-3.64) compared with 0.91 year (IQR, 0.68-1.37) for Group 3 (HR, 3.01; 95% CI, 1.67 to 5.41) and 1.23 years (IQR, 0.96-2.34) for patients with SHH (HR, 2.41; 95% CI, 1.20 to 4.81; Fig 1D). For SJYC07, time to relapse also varied by molecular subgroup (P5.039, log-rank test), largely driven by difference between Group 4 and Group 3 tumors (HR, 2.74; 95% CI, 1.14 to 6.60; Fig 1E). Clinical risk group was a significant covariate for time to relapse only among patients with Group 4 tumor in SJMB03 (Data Supplement). Time to relapse according to novel SHH and Groups 3 and 4 subtypes is shown in Data Supplement. Anatomic Patterns of Relapse Relapse occurred with a distant component in 57 (79%) SJMB03 patients (Fig 1F) and 41 (79%) SJYC07 patients (Fig 1G). Of patients with SHH tumors, 43% in SJMB03 and 35% in SJYC07 presented with isolated local relapse compared with only 14% (P5.028, Fisher’s exact test) and 10% (P5.067, Fisher’s exact test) of non-SHH tumors, respectively (Figs 1F and 1G). Distant relapses were significantly associated with shorter time to relapse only for Group 4 tumors in SJMB03 (HR, 5.08; 95% CI, 1.14 to 22.6) and SHH tumors in SJYC07 (HR, 3.48; 95% CI, 1.07 to 11.3; Data Supplement). Survival After Relapse At data cutoff, seven relapsed patients (10%) from SJMB03 and 24 (46%) from SJYC07 were alive. The median postrelapse survival (PRS) was 1.14 years (IQR, 0.30-2.36) for SJMB03 and 2.12 (IQR, 0.39-NA) for SJYC07 (Data Supplement). Clinical trial risk group was not significantly associated with PRS for SJMB03 (P5.43, log-rank test) or SJYC07 (P5.099, log-rank test; Data Supplement). For SJMB03, PRS time varied by molecular subgroup (P5 .016, log-rank) with the median PRS time for patients with Group 4 tumors of 2.27 years (IQR, 1.19-3.89) compared with 0.44 year (IQR, 0.29-1.29) for patients with Group 3 tumors (HR, 2.39; 95% CI, 1.29 to 4.42) and 1.06 years (IQR, 0.27-1.88) for patients with SHH tumors (HR, 1.90; 95% CI, 0.94 to 3.83; Fig 2A). For SJYC07, PRS did not vary significantly by molecular subgroup (P5.88, log-rank test; Fig 2B). Time to relapse was significantly associated with PRS for SJMB03 (HR, 0.65; 95% CI, 0.52 to 0.82) but not for SJYC07 (HR, 0.53; 95% CI, 0.23 to 1.23). Notably, the association of time to relapse and PRS for SJMB03 remained significant with subgroup and clinical trial risk group as additional covariates (HR, 0.67; 95% CI, 0.50 to 0.90). PRS according to novel SHH and Groups 3 and 4 subtypes is shown in the Data Supplement. Twenty-five (35%) relapsed SJMB03 patients (one patient missing data) and 30 (58%) SJYC07 patients received radiation after relapse. For SJMB03 patients, a transient PRS benefit(P5.032, log-rank test; Fig 2C) was observed with additional radiation after relapse (HR, 0.56; 95% CI, 0.33 to 0.96). For SJYC07 patients, postrelapse CSI (median, 36.0 Gy) was significantly associated with long-term survival (P,.0001, log-rank test; Fig 2D), particularly for patients with SHH (HR, 0.04; 95% CI, 0.01 to 0.37) and Group 3 tumors (HR, 0.27; 95% CI, 0.08 to 0.85) (Data Supplement).

Patient-Matched Molecular Landscapes Given the rarity of tissue availability from relapsed medulloblastoma and with only seven patients from each trial with relapse tissue available, a large multi-institutional, paired molecular cohort of 127 patient-matched diagnostic and relapsed tumors was assembled (Fig 3A; Appendix Table A2; Data Supplement). Sufficient tissue for DNA methylation profiling was required for inclusion, and whole-exome or targeted panel sequencing data were available for both patient-matched samples in 50% (64 of 127) of the paired molecular cohort (Fig 3B). DNA methylation classification identified nine relapse cases (7%) as nonmedulloblastoma subsequent tumors within the paired molecular cohort (Fig 3C; Data Supplement). 18 Molecular Subgroups and Subtypes Among 118 patients with molecularly confirmed relapsed medulloblastoma, diagnostic tumors were classifiedbymethylationasWNTin1(1%),SHHin48 (41%),Group3in22(19%),andGroup4in46(39%). Medulloblastoma subgroup was conserved at relapse in 113 patients (96%) with divergence observed in a total of five patients between Groups 3 and 4 tumors. Novel molecular subtypes within SHH and Groups 3 and 4 tumors were conserved at relapse in 80% of patients (Figs 3D and 3E). 19,20 To assess the degree of molecular conservation between patient-matched diagnostic and relapsed tumors, mutations and copy number alterations of curated medulloblastoma driver genes and chromosomal arms were analyzed (Fig 4A; Data Supplement). 19 Subgroup designation for paired patient-matched cases was based on subgroup at diagnosis. Driver Gene Alteration Patterns The distribution and pattern of driver gene alterations by subgroup are shown in Figure 4B. Subgroup was associated with a significant difference in conservation pattern of driver gene alterations, largely driven by biases in SHH, which were predominantly conserved (P,.0001, analysis of variance). The median number of discordant driver gene alterations between patient-matched tumors was one with no difference between subgroups (P5.10, Kruskal-Wallis test; Data Supplement). A total of 29% of cases had completely conserved driver gene alterations with no statistical difference between subgroups (P5.29, chi-square test). Within subgroups, the number of discordant copy number variations or mutations was not significantly associated with age at diagnosis, time to relapse, or recurrence pattern (Data Supplement). The incidence of shared driver gene alterations was 52% in SHH, 36% in Group 3, and 37% in Group 4 tumors (Figs 4A F Anatomic Patterns of Relapse for SJMB03 Local only versus Distant component Chi-square P = .058 6 (43%) 4 (15%) 3 (12%) 2 (25%) Local only 0 5 10 15 20 SHH n = 14 Group 3 n = 26 Group 4 n = 24 Unclassified n = 8 Subgroup No. of Relapsed Patients 7 (50%) 21 (81%) 20 (83%) 6 (75%) Distant 0 5 10 15 20 SHH n = 14 Group 3 n = 26 Group 4 n =24 Unclassified n = 8 Subgroup No. of Relapsed Patients 1 (7%) 1 (4%) 1 (4%) Local + Distant 0 5 10 15 20 SHH n = 14 Group 3 n = 26 Group 4 n = 24 Unclassified n = 8 Subgroup No. of Relapsed Patients G Anatomic Patterns of Relapse for SJYC07 Local only versus Distant component Chi-square P = .094 7 (35%) 2 (9%) 1 (12%) 1 (50%) Local only 0 5 10 15 SHH n = 20 Group 3 n = 22 Group 4 n = 8 Unclassified n = 2 Subgroup No. of Relapsed Patients 8 (40%) 16 (73%) 7 (88%) Distant 0 5 10 15 SHH n = 20 Group 3 n = 22 Group 4 n = 8 Unclassified n = 2 Subgroup No. of Relapsed Patients 5 (25%) 4 (18%) 1 (50%) Local + Distant SHH n = 20 Group 3 n = 22 Group 4 n = 8 Unclassified n = 2 0 5 10 15 Subgroup No. of Relapsed Patients FIG 1.

The incidence of relapsespecific driver gene alterations was 29% in SHH, 57% in Group 3, and 40% in Group 4 tumors. Additionally, numerous low incidence relapse-specific alterations, particularly among chromatin modifiers (eg, CREBBP and SMARCA4) and DNA repair machinery (eg, BRCA2), were observed across subgroups. Primary-specific driver gene alterations, such as focal CDK6 amplification in one primary SHH tumor and one primary Group 4 tumor, were rare and comprised the minority in observed patterns of conservation and divergence.
