Here, Xu and colleagues demonstrate that OLIG2-expressing tumor cells are highly enriched in therapy resistant and recurrent MYC-amplified MB and high levels of OLIG2 correlated with poor prognosis. Genetic or pharmacological inhibition of OLIG2 in combination with radiotherapy significantly suppressed the progression of OLIG2-high tumors in patient-derived xenograft mouse models, indicating that OLIG2 represents a novel therapeutic target in high-risk MB. CT-179 is a highly potent and selective small molecule OLIG2 inhibitor. The study provides evidence for CT-179 to potentially act as an adjunctive therapy for patients with high-risk MB as well as other types of pediatric brain tumors where OLIG2 is highly expressed. Thus patients with these cancers may also benefit from CT-179 treatment. Cell-free tumor tissue modified viral (TTMV)-HPV DNA is a unique biomarker, present...
