Abstract BACKGROUND D-2-hydroxyglutarate (D-2-HG) is a well-established oncometabolite of isocitrate dehydrogenase (IDH) mutant gliomas. While prior studies have demonstrated that D-2-HG is elevated in the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) of patients with IDH-mutant gliomas, no study has evaluated the ability of CSF D-2-HG to quantitatively monitor tumor burden and therapeutic response. Toward this goal, we are routinely obtaining CSF samples from patients prior to, during, and after treatment via intra-operative collection and CSF-access devices. MATERIAL AND METHODS Patients were enrolled into our Ommaya reservoir study (NCT04692337), which enables longitudinal access to CSF. The catheter for the implanted reservoir was placed within the surgical resection cavity following a standard-of-care resection. Intra-operatively collected CSF samples were also biobanked through Mayo Clinic’s Neuro-Oncology biorepository. CSF samples were also acquired via clinically indicated ventriculoperitoneal shunts (VP shunts) or external ventricular drains via our ongoing CSF biomarkers study (NCT04692324). D-and-L-2-HG were assayed from each CSF sample via gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) at Mayo Clinic’s Biochemical Genetics Laboratory. RESULTS CSF was collected prior to and after resection in patients via Ommaya reservoirs or VP shunts, all of whom underwent near gross total resections (>95% of tumor volume). D-2-HG and the D/L ratio fell on average by 57.9% (range: 15.1%-98.6%) and 68.8% (range: 49.3%-98.9%), respectively, following resection. In one patient with a largely intraventricular grade 4 IDH-mutant astrocytoma, D-and-L-2-HG fell by 99.1% and 99.3% by post-operative day 2, consistent with the impact of ventricular contact on baseline CSF D-2-HG levels. In patients for whom CSF was collected throughout chemoradiation, with or without immunotherapy, D-2-HG and the D/L ratio continued to decrease over time, despite concern for pseudoprogression versus progression on imaging. CONCLUSION Our early experience with this strategy demonstrates the potential for intracranial CSF D-2-HG as a monitoring biomarker for IDH-mutant gliomas. Work is ongoing to evaluate the reproducibility of these findings in a larger cohort of patients with low or high-grade gliomas, in addition to the impact of tumor recurrence on 2-HG. Future studies will evaluate the impact of IDH inhibitors and other experimental therapies on CSF 2-HG levels for pharmacodynamic monitoring of treatment
