Biomarker-based Algorithm for Diagnosis of Glioma (TELOGNOSTIC)

December 9, 2019 updated by: Hospices Civils de Lyon

Development of a New Algorithm-based Classification for Glioma

ATRX (X-linked mental retardation and alpha-thalassaemia syndrome protein) loss and pTERT (Telomerase reverse transcriptase) mutation are diagnostic markers of gliomas. However, 4 to 28% of gliomas shows none of these alterations. The aim of this project is to propose a new test able to detect the telomeric status for every glioma. Based on this test and other markers (such as mutation of IDH1 (isocitrate dehydrogenase 1) and IDH2 (isocitrate dehydrogenase 2)), investigators propose an algorithm, able to classify the main subtypes of gliomas (astrocytoma, oligodendroglioma and glioblastoma).

Cohorts and Interventions

Group / Cohort
Intervention / Treatment
Glioma
FFPE (Formalin-Fixed Paraffin-Embedded) or frozen samples will be used for DNA extraction. Different gliomas tumors will be used (oligodendroglioma, astrocytomas, glioblastoma)

Biological testing of FFPE (Formalin-Fixed Paraffin-Embedded) or frozen samples of tumors will be led. These tissues have been collected during the treatment of patients (for diagnostic purposes).

A molecular analysis (polymerase chain reaction) is led on DNA extracted from FFPE/frozen conserved tissues, and a result is produced by the algorithm.

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Determination of the prognosis and diagnosis values of a new qPCR (quantitative polymerase chain reaction) -based biological testing in glioma
Time Frame: 1 year

An algorithm will be built, based on the result of this specific biological testing combined with other markers (determined in routine clinical testing). The algorithm parameters will be set using samples with a clear diagnosis (concordant molecular and immuno-histological markers). Then gliomas with uncertain diagnosis will be classified and the global overall survival will be predicted.

Biological testing will be performed during one year and the analyses in terms of disease outcome will be refreshed every year.
