Plasma extracellular vesicles in meningioma patients following radiotherapy as liquid biopsy- a prospective explorative biomarker study (ARO 2023-05/AG-NRO-07)

Abstract Background While surgical resection remains the primary treatment approach for symptomatic or growing meningiomas, radiotherapy represents an auspicious alternative in patients with meningiomas not safely amenable to surgery. Biopsies are often omitted in light of potential postoperative ne...

description Abstract Background While surgical resection remains the primary treatment approach for symptomatic or growing meningiomas, radiotherapy represents an auspicious alternative in patients with meningiomas not safely amenable to surgery. Biopsies are often omitted in light of potential postoperative neurological deficits, resulting in a lack of histological grading and (molecular) risk stratification. In this prospective explorative biomarker study, extracellular vesicles in the bloodstream will be investigated in patients with macroscopic meningiomas to identify a biomarker for molecular risk stratification and disease monitoring. Methods In total, 60 patients with meningiomas and an indication of radiotherapy (RT) and macroscopic tumor on the planning MRI will be enrolled. Blood samples will be obtained before the start, during, and after radiotherapy, as well as during clinical follow-up every 6 months. Extracellular vesicles will be isolated from the blood samples, quantified and correlated with the clinical treatment response or progression. Further, nanopore sequencing-based DNA methylation profiles of plasma EV-DNA will be generated for methylation-based meningioma classification. Discussion This study will explore the dynamic of plasma EVs in meningioma patients under/after radiotherapy, with the objective of identifying potential biomarkers of (early) tumor progression. DNA methylation profiling of plasma EVs in meningioma patients may enable molecular risk stratification, facilitating a molecularly-guided target volume delineation and adjusted dose prescription during RT treatment planning.
