1 Patient 1 Presentation Jennie W Taylor, MD 02/15/2019 A 34 year old right handed woman presents in 07/2015 with 9 years of stereotyped spells of olfactory change, nausea, and altered awareness. Imaging reveals diffuse, nonenhancing mass in the right insula. She underwent a biopsy with pathology revealing low grade glioma: diffuse astrocytoma, grade 2, IDH1 R132H mutant, 1p19q intact by FISH. Given her age, burden of disease, and toxicity of radiation, she was treated with 2 years of the alkylating agent, temozolomide. Her MRI in 08/2017 demonstrated marked reduction in FLAIR consistent with partial response to treatment. She developed worsening seizures in 06/2018 (~1 year off treatment) with MRI demonstrating increased FLAIR and new enhancement in left insula. She underwent extensive subtotal resection with preliminary pathology consistent with glioblastoma, IDH mutant. However, sequencing of her tumor revealed presence of 1p19q co deletion and confirmed IDH mutation. By the 2016 WHO classification, this characterizes her tumor as an anaplastic oligodendroglioma. Sequencing also revealed a hypermutated phenotype with > 50 non synomymous somatic mutations in the tumor, all harboring the C>T/G>A mutations seen in temozolomide induced mutagenesis. She was subsequently treated with radiation and immunotherapy with checkpoint inhibition, given data that tumors with high mutation burden have improved response rates to immunotherapy. In 11/2018, she had a favorable response to treatment with decreased FLAIR and improved seizures. References: 1.

2 Patient 2 Presentation Jennie W Taylor, MD 02/15/ year old right handed woman presented with acute onset of slurred speech 08/2014. Her imaging revealed enhancing mass deep in the left frontal lobe with significant surrounding FLAIR consistent with edema. She underwent biopsy at an outside institution with pathology consistent with glioblastoma, IDH wildtype, MGMT unmethylated. She was subsequently treated with standard of care with fractioned radiation and concurrent temozolomide. She received 4 cycles of adjuvant temozolomide when imaging revealed increased enhancement and FLAIR around the left frontal biopsy site. Clinically, she had worsened right sided weakness, expressive aphasia, and developed cushingoid features from chronic dexamethasone use. She underwent additional extensive subtotal resection as part of a clinical trial of generating treatment recommendation based on genetic sequencing. Her pathology was consistent with 90% treatment effect and 10% recurrent/residual glioblastoma. Whole exome sequencing identified several actionable mutations, including PALB2, NF1, and EGFR. A molecular tumor board, consisting of pharmacologists and several neuro oncologists, recommended combination treatment of carboplatin and PARP inhibition to target the PALB2 mutation, and MEK inhibitor to target the NF1 mutation. She completed 10 months of combination therapy followed by another 12 months of MEK inhibitor monotherapy until there was evidence of progressive nonenhancing disease and seizures. Given the timing since completion of radiation and that disease was diffuse and nonsurgical, the recommendation for treatment was hypofractionated radiation. Within a few months, she developed worsening symptoms and increased enhancement. She went on to receive treatment with bevacizumab, a monoclonal antibody against vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) that sequesters VEGF in the vasculature decreasing vascular permeability and, therefore, cerebral edema. She has continued to intermittently receive bevacizumab and is doing well 4.5 years after her initial diagnosis. References 1. Stupp R, Mason WP, van den Bent MJ, et al.

21 Case 1: 34 year old woman with panic attacks 6/2015: Presented with a 9 year history of subtle spells described as a "weird smell" followed by "fuzzing out", nausea and a panicky sense with deja vu.

Reports she obtained a platelet transfusion during this time. 7/17/18-8/28/18: Completed RT 60Gy in 30 fractions under the direction of Dr. Crandley 7/27/18 - Current: Pembrolizumab infusions every 3 weeks under the direction of Dr Alberico (has completed six infusions to date last on 11/28/18) 37 Tumor type: Diffuse astrocytoma, IDH mutated, 1p19q intact, ATRX intact, MGMT unmethylated. Pathology from 2018 consistent with anaplastic oligodendroglioma UCSF500 (06/2018): Hypermutation with >300 somatic nonsynonymous mutations that are virtually all C>T/G>A transitions corresponding to Mutational Signature 11 that occurs after alkylating chemotherapy; Chromosomes 1p and 19q co-deletion Mutations in AKT1, AKT3, BORL1, CIC, DNMT3A, IDH R132H, PIK3CA, RB1, SMARCB1, TERT, TET2, TP53 Location: Right frontotemporal Age at diagnosis: 34 year-old right-handed female 38 19

Pathology: diffuse astrocytoma 3. 10/05/ /17/2017: 23 cycles of temozolomide under the direction of Dr. David Schiff at UVA 4. 08/2017: Diagnosed with shingles and meningitis 5. 06/13/2018: Extensive subtotal resection of right frontal mass by Dr. Mitchel Berger. Pathology: anaplastic oligodendroglioma, IDH1 R132H mutant, focal MIB 80% 39 04/

23 06/ This recurrent high grade glioma that has recurred/progressed from a lower-grade diffuse glioma demonstrates a very high mutation burden with greater than 300 somatic nonsynonymous mutations identified in the 480 genes targeted for sequencing on this panel. There are approximately 250 somatic mutations per Mb based on this sequencing assay, which is consistent with hypermutation. Virtually all of these are C>T/G>A transitions that corresponds with Mutational Signature 11, a signature predominantly seen in recurrent gliomas following adjuvant chemotherapy with the alkylating agent temozolomide [ref. 1 and COSMIC Signatures of Mutational Processes in Human Cancer database]. Only 23 of the 1,037 assessed microsatellites (<3%) demonstrate instability, consistent with a microsatellite stable tumor. Chromosomal copy number changes in the tumor are limited to losses of chromosomes 1p and 19q. This co-deletion of 1p and 19q involves the entire arms of these chromosomes. Somatic mutations seen in the tumor include the p.r132h hotspot mutation in the IDH1 oncogene, a hotspot mutation in the promoter region of the TERT gene, and a nonsense mutation in the CIC gene. In addition to the 1p/19q-codeletion, these genetic features support the diagnosis of an oligodendroglial neoplasm, IDHmutant and 1p/19q-codeleted. Oligodendrogliomas and anaplastic oligodendrogliomas within the cerebral hemispheres of adults are genetically defined by the combination of IDH mutation, 1p/19q-codeletion, and TERT promoter mutation, and very 42 21
