MBCL-08. MOLECULAR CHARACTERIZATION OF NODULAR DESMOPLASTIC MEDULLOBLASTOMAS IN YOUNG CHILDREN TREATED ON ACNS1221. A REPORT FROM THE CHILDREN ONCOLOGY GROUP
Bibliographic record
Abstract
ACNS1221 was a single-arm multicenter trial of conventional chemotherapy for children < 4y with localized nodular desmoplastic medulloblastoma and medulloblastoma with extensive nodularity(ND/MBEN), based on a modified HIT SKK 2000 regimen excluding intraventricular methotrexate. The trial prematurely closed for an excess of relapses. Here we provide the final analysis of the clinical and molecular characterization of the cohort. Tumor samples were prospectively collected to describe the molecular profile of ND/MBEN. DNA methylation was performed using Infinium MethylationEPIC BeadChip and profiled on DKFZ molecularneuropathology2.0 classifier. DNA copy-number variants were inferred from DNA methylation arrays using Conumee. Methylation profiles were added to a founder cohort of 87 infant SHH-MB and analyzed by t-distributed stochastic neighbor embedding (t-SNE) to delineate SHH-I and SHH-II subtypes. The cohort included 26 patients(19 ND and 7 MBEN) diagnosed at a median age of 19.7 months. All tumors clustered within the SHH group and separated into 2 subtypes: SHH-I(42%) and SHH-II(58%). SHH-I patients were significantly older than SHH-II patients (p=0.009). Most MBEN were SHH-II(86%) but no significant association was found between histology and subgrouping(p=0.18). Chromosome 2 gain was exclusively described in SHH-I. Eight relapses occurred in SHH-I and 4 in SHH-II (median time of 9.8 months). The 2y PFS for SHH-I and SHH-II was respectively 27.3%(+/-13.4%) and 73.3%(+/-13.4%) (p=0.034). Age <12 mos, MBEN histology and female sex were associated with better PFS. With the ACNS1221 cohort, we prospectively validated the existence of 2 SHH subgroups in young children and the worse outcome of SHH-I subgroup.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
