Primary and recurrent glioma patient-derived orthotopic xenografts (PDOX) represent relevant patient avatars for precision medicine
Bibliographic record
Abstract
ABSTRACT Patient-derived cancer models are essential tools for studying tumor biology and preclinical interventions. Here, we show that glioma patient-derived orthotopic xenografts (PDOXs) enable long-term propagation of patient tumors and represent clinically relevant patient avatars. We created a large collection of PDOXs from primary and recurrent gliomas with and without mutations in IDH1 , which retained histopathological, genetic, epigenetic and transcriptomic features of patient tumors with no mouse-specific clonal evolution. Longitudinal PDOX models recapitulate the limited genetic evolution of gliomas observed in patient tumors following treatment. PDOX-derived standardized tumor organoid cultures enabled assessment of drug responses, which were validated in mice. PDOXs showed clinically relevant responses to Temozolomide and to targeted treatments such as EGFR and CDK4/6 inhibitors in (epi)genetically defined groups, according to MGMT promoter and EGFR/CDK status respectively. Dianhydrogalactitol, a bifunctional alkylating agent, showed promising potential against glioblastoma. Our study underlines the clinical relevance of glioma PDOX models for translational research and personalized treatment studies.

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.
