Trial Outcomes & Findings for A Trial of Pembrolizumab for Refractory Atypical and Anaplastic Meningioma (NCT NCT03016091)

NCT ID: NCT03016091

Last Updated: 2025-02-18

Results Overview

6 months PFS refers to the percentage of patients in a study who remain alive and whose disease has not worsened 6 months after starting treatment. To determine the 6 months PFS rate for patients with recurrent or progressive meningioma on pembrolizumab therapy we used the RANO meningioma criteria. The Response Assessment in Neuro-Oncology meningioma criteria are guidelines used to evaluate treatment response in meningioma patients, incorporating both radiological and clinical factors. Tumor response is classified into categories such as: complete response (CR), where the tumor disappears. Partial response (PR) with a 50% or more reduction in tumor size. Minor response (MR) between 25% to 50% reduction in tumor size. Stable disease (SD) indicating minimal change, and progressive disease (PD) defined by at least a 25% increase in tumor size, new lesions, or worsening clinical symptoms. these criteria emphasize the use of consistent imaging techniques such as MRI.

Participant Flow

18 adult patients with histologically or radiologically proven recurrent or progressive meningioma (grade I to III) or anaplastic SFT who were treated in a single institution from 2018 to 2022 (15 patients with recurrent meningioma and 3 with anaplastic SFT). Patients were recruited at least 6 months after treatment with stereotactic radiosurgery.
