Avelumab in newly diagnosed glioblastoma multiforme: The SEJ study.
Bibliographic record
Abstract
e13571 Background: Glioblastoma Multiforme (GBM) has well documented systemic and local immunosuppressive mechanisms to escape immune surveillance and grow. GBM tumor cells as well as the microglia within it have a high PD-L1 surface expression which may make it susceptible to anti-PD-L1 antagonism and ADCC with avelumab therapy. Standard combination temozolomide/radiotherapy is associated with a median survival of 14.6 months and a median progression free survival of 6.9 months. Methods: This is a single center, phase 2, open label study of avelumab 10 mg/kg Q2W for 156 weeks duration in patients receiving standard therapy for newly diagnosed GBM. Thirty patients will be entered into the study within 3 weeks of completing combined radiotherapy/temozolomide. Here, we report the results of the first interim analysis completed when the first eight patients completed 52 weeks or an end of study visit. Results: To date 24 patients have started therapy. The median follow-up is 4.9 months (1-22 months). There has been overall no unexpected treatment emergent adverse event (TEAE). The most common TEAE was elevated liver or pancreatic enzymes. Two patients transiently withheld therapy because of immune related TEAE’s (both hepatitis) and none permanently. The objective response rate by iRANO criteria, at week 52 for the first eight patients was 4 (50%) with 2 (25%) having a complete response, 1 (12.5%) a partial response and 1 (12.5%) stable disease. The median progression free survival was 11.9 months. Conclusions: These preliminary results suggest that the addition of avelumab to standard combination therapy early on, in patients with GBM is safe. Efficacy trends look promising. Clinical trial information: NCT03047473.

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.
