Abstract

INTRO Isocitrate dehydrogenase mutant (IDH-mt) gliomas are incurable brain tumors primarily affecting young adults. Developing novel surrogate endpoints of disease progression requires understanding the relationships between tumor growth, patient function, and quality of life (QOL). In this prospective study, we report preliminary analyses describing neurocognitive function (NCF) and QOL with brain connectivity. METHODS Patients’ standardized (M = 50, SD = 10) NIH Toolbox and PROMIS measures were collected as well as Area Deprivation Index (ADI). We used exact Wilcoxon tests and Spearman correlations for comparisons. RESULTS We accrued 27 patients with a mean age of 36.6±9.1 years. Most identified as female (59.3%). The average national ADI rank was 43±17 and state ADI decile was 3±2. About half had a gross total resection (51.9%). Tumors were mostly grade II (44.4%) or grade III (48.2%); two individuals (7.4%) had a grade IV tumor. Most patients reported high (t >= 50) levels of anxiety (74.1%), fatigue (63.0%), and sadness (63.0%), and most scored below average (t < 50) on a measure of executive function (74.1%). Conversely, they showed high (t >= 50) ability on measures of episodic memory (77.8%) and visual-spatial memory (70.4%). Female patients performed better on the Oral Symbol Digit test (Mdn = 54.0 vs 41.0; p =.01). Patients with a gross total resection reported higher levels of fatigue (Mdn = 58.3 vs 49.2; p =.003) and depression (Mdn = 58.8 vs 46.8; p =.02) as well as low social participation (Mdn = 44.8 vs 58.0; p =.002). Finally, patients living in more adverse areas reported lower inter-network connectivity (s = -0.56; p =.01). DISCUSSION Preliminary analyses of our prospective study demonstrate that NCF and QOL is impaired in patients with IDH-mt glioma. Further integration of neuroimaging with patient function will advance treatment approaches.
