LGG-59. REMARKABLE OBJECTIVE RESPONSE AND FAVORABLE SURVIVAL FOR BRAF-V600E CHILDHOOD LOW-GRADE GLIOMAS TO BRAF INHIBITORS COMPARED CONVENTIONAL CHEMOTHERAPY
Activation of the MAPK pathway represents a hallmark of pediatric low-grade glioma (pLGG) and is frequently caused by BRAF alterations. BRAF-V600E represent an aggressive type of pLGG with less than optimal response to conventional chemo-radiation approaches. While clinical trials using BRAF-V600E inhibitors are ongoing, these data are not yet available. We have assembled an international cohort of BRAF-V600E glioma patients treated off-label with BRAF inhibitors as a monotherapy. Complete molecular, clinical and imaging data is being collected and compared to previous chemo-radiation therapies. Ongoing data form the taskforce on 40 BRAF-V600E gliomas from 25 international institutions is s…
LGG-16. PREDICTORS OF OUTCOME IN BRAF-V600E PEDIATRIC GLIOMAS TREATED WITH BRAF INHIBITORS: A REPORT FROM THE PLGG TASKFORCE
The BRAF-V600E mutation is found in 15–20% of pediatric low grade gliomas (PLGG) and result in worse outcome and higher risk of transformation to high grade gliomas (PHGG). Although ongoing trials are assessing the role of BRAF inhibitors (BRAFi) in these children, data are still limited. We aimed to report overall response rates and predictors of outcome in childhood BRAF-V600E gliomas. We collected clinical, imaging and molecular information of patients treated with BRAFi outside trials from centers participating in the PLGG taskforce. Response was calculated by RANO criteria and follow up data were collected for all patients. Sixty-six patients were treated with BRAFi (55 PLGG and 11 PHG…
Guidelines for the use and interpretation of assays for monitoring autophagy (3rd edition)
Seuls les 100 premiers auteurs dont les auteurs INRA ont été entrés dans la notice. La liste complète des auteurs et de leurs affiliations est accessible sur la publication.; International audience; In 2008 we published the first set of guidelines for standardizing research in autophagy. Since then, research on this topic has continued to accelerate, and many new scientists have entered the field. Our knowledge base and relevant new technologies have also been expanding. Accordingly, it is important to update these guidelines for monitoring autophagy in different organisms. Various reviews have described the range of assays that have been used for this purpose. Nevertheless, there continues…
Autophagy
In 2008, we published the first set of guidelines for standardizing research in autophagy. Since then, this topic has received increasing attention, and many scientists have entered the field. Our knowledge base and relevant new technologies have also been expanding. Thus, it is important to formulate on a regular basis updated guidelines for monitoring autophagy in different organisms. Despite numerous reviews, there continues to be confusion regarding acceptable methods to evaluate autophagy, especially in multicellular eukaryotes. Here, we present a set of guidelines for investigators to select and interpret methods to examine autophagy and related processes, and for reviewers to provide…
