The overall prognosis of ATRTs is extremely poor with median survival in the range of 10-18mths from the time of diagnosis. Aurora A Kinase (AURKA) encodes a protein that regulates the formationandstabilityof themitotic spindleand ishighlyactive inATRTthrough loss of the INI1 tumor suppressor gene. Alisertib (MLN8237) is a selective small molecule inhibitor of AURKA. We report a case of recurrent ATRT treated with alisertib monotherapy producing sustained and durable disease remission. Our patient underwent gross total resection (GTR) of the Posterior fossa tumor at diagnosis and was initially treated as per ACNS0333 protocol. She remained in remission for 15 months after completion of chemotherapy when she relapsed in the right frontal lobe. She underwent sub-total resection (STR) followed by focal IMRT (54Gy/30 fractions) followed by chemotherapy (DFCI-IRS-III, modified protocol) with Doxorubicin / Etoposide alternating with Actinomycin-D and triple intrathecal chemotherapy. After 7 months of treatment, she relapsed again in the right frontal region, presenting with focal seizures. She received 10 cycles of alisertib (60mg/m2 by mouth once daily for 7 days of a 21 day treatment cycle) monotherapyand is clinically stablewith her imaging showingsustained regression of disease. Somnolescence and neutropenia were the most common side effects seen in our patient. Neuro-Oncology 18:iii1–iii6, 2016. doi:10.1093/neuonc/now065.21 #The Author(s) 2016.
