Resistance, rebound, and recurrence regrowth patterns in pediatric low-grade glioma treated by MAPK inhibition: A modified Delphi approach to build international consensus-based definitions—International Pediatric Low-Grade Glioma Coalition
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Pediatric low-grade glioma (pLGG) is the most common childhood brain tumor group. The natural history, when curative resection is not possible, is one of a chronic disease with periods of tumor stability and episodes of tumor progression. While there is a high overall survival rate, many patients experience significant and potentially lifelong morbidities. The majority of pLGGs have an underlying activation of the RAS/MAPK pathway due to mutational events, leading to the use of molecularly targeted therapies in clinical trials, with recent regulatory approval for the combination of BRAF and MEK inhibition for BRAFV600E mutated pLGG. Despite encouraging activity, tumor regrowth can occur during therapy due to drug resistance, off treatment as tumor recurrence, or as reported in some patients as a rapid rebound growth within 3 months of discontinuing targeted therapy. Definitions of these patterns of regrowth have not been well described in pLGG. For this reason, the International Pediatric Low-Grade Glioma Coalition, a global group of physicians and scientists, formed the Resistance, Rebound, and Recurrence (R3) working group to study resistance, rebound, and recurrence. A modified Delphi approach was undertaken to produce consensus-based definitions and recommendations for regrowth patterns in pLGG with specific reference to targeted therapies.

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.
