IAG’ Scientific Research Team Presenting at ASCO, American Society of Clinical Oncology, 1-5 June 2018, Chicago, USA

IAG’s scientific research team are presenting at the American Society of Clinical Oncology, ASCO, in Chicago, USA from June 1-5, 2018. The team will discuss the challenges biotech companies face in oncology trials and explore IAG’s novel strategies to include advanced imaging biomarkers in the clinical development process.  During ASCO, the IAG’ Team will present 4 abstracts focused on the strategic use of imaging in clinical research in oncology, including immuno-oncology, neuro-oncology, renal cancer and solid tumors.

 

The 2 posters to be presented and 4 abstracts were accepted:

 

ASSESSING DCE-MRI AND DWI AS TREATMENT RESPONSE BIOMARKERS AFTER SABR FOR PRIMARY RENAL CELL CARCINOMA, Hayley Reynolds, Bimal Parameswaran, Mary Finnegan, Diana Roettger, Eddie Lau, Tomas Kron, Mark Shaw, Sarat Chander, and Shankar Siva, American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO), 2018

Assessment of treatment response for renal cell carcinoma (RCC) is typically carried out using anatomical CT sized-based RECIST 1.1 criteria. Recently, our group completed a prospective trial delivering stereotactic ablative body radiotherapy (SABR) to patients with, while assessing treatment efficacy using advanced MRI techniques and novel early treatment response biomarkers. The details will be presented at ASCO.

NON-INVASIVE IN VIVO PREDICTION OF TUMOUR GRADE AND IDH MUTATION STATUS IN GLIOMAS USING DYNAMIC SUSCEPTIBILITY CONTRAST (DSC) PERFUSION- AND DIFFUSION-WEIGHTED MRI. Sotirios Bisdas, Cristiana Tisca, Carole Sudre, Eser Sanverdi, Diana Roettger, Jorge M Cardoso, American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO), 2018

In this study, we investigated the relevance of texture and statistical features extracted from perfusion and diffusion MRI parametric maps (PMs) to discriminate between WHO grades and IDH mutation status in gliomas to determine if such novel assessment may enhance tumour grading, improving patient selection for specific treatment options.

THE ROLE OF DIFFUSION TENSOR IMAGING FOR NON-INVASIVE IDH PHENOTYPING IN GLIOMAS, Diana Roettger, Jialin Yuan, Laura Mancini, Steffi Thust, Sebastian Brandner, Jeremy Rees, Andrew McEvoy, Sotirios Bisdas, American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO), 2018

This study explores whether diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) metrics can differentiate IDH mutation status in gliomas using 76 IDH mutant type and 27 IDH wild-type gliomas histopathologically verified with pre-treatment DTI. The details how the integration of the DTI metrics with demographic information may help to provide a non-invasive molecular stratification of the gliomas will be presented at ASCO.

THE ROLE OF DYNAMIC SUSCEPTIBILITY CONTRAST PERFUSION- WEIGHTED MRI IN THE ESTIMATION OF IDH MUTATION IN GLIOMAS, Sotirios Bisdas, Eser Sanverdi, Carole Sudre, Diana Roettger, Sebastian Brandner, Vasileios Katsaros, American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO), 2018

Dynamic Susceptibility Contrast Perfusion- Weighted Imaging (DSC – PWI) is a relatively recently established technique for gliomas staging and its diagnostic accuracy may benefit when using sophisticated image analysis algorithms. In this study, we aimed to investigate whether DSC – PWI, enhanced by texture analysis and machine learning, can stratify gliomas according to their IDH mutation status using a cohort of 208 patients. The details will be presented at ASCO.
