基于放射组学的间皮瘤患者 TRuC-T 细胞治疗反应预测：一项初步研究

We retrospectively analyzed 23 mesothelioma patients (85 target tumors) treated in a phase 1/2 single arm clinical trial (NCT03907852). Five imaging sites were involved, the settings for the evaluations were Blinded Independent Central Reviews (BICRs) with double reads. The reproducibility of 3416 radiomics and delta-radiomics (Δradiomics) was assessed. The univariate analysis evaluated correlations at the target tumor level with (1) tumor diameter response; (2) tumor volume response, according to the Quantitative Imaging Biomarker Alliance; and (3) the mean standard uptake value (SUV) response, as defined by the positron emission tomography response criteria in solid tumors (PERCISTs). A random forest model predicted the response of the target pleural tumors.

Tumor anatomical distribution was 55.3%, 17.6%, 14.1%, and 10.6% in the pleura, lymph nodes, peritoneum, and soft tissues, respectively. Radiomics/Δradiomics reproducibility differed across tumor localizations. Radiomics were more reproducible than Δradiomics. In the univariate analysis, none of the radiomics/Δradiomics correlated with any response criteria. With an accuracy ranging from 0.75 to 0.9, three radiomics/Δradiomics were able to predict the response of target pleural tumors. Pivotal studies will require a sample size of 250 to 400 tumors.

The prediction of responding target pleural tumors can be achieved using a machine learning-based radiomics/Δradiomics analysis. Tumor-specific reproducibility and the average values indicated that using tumor models to create an effective patient model would require combining several target tumor models.
