Prediction of Therapeutic Outcome and Survival in a Transgenic Mouse Model of Pancreatic Ductal Adenocarcinoma Treated With Dendritic Cell Vaccination or CDK Inhibitor Using MRI Texture: A Feasibility Study

There is a lack of a well-established approach for assessment of early treatment outcomes for modern therapies for pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) e.g. dinaciclib or dendritic cell (DC) vaccination. Here, we developed multivariate models using MRI texture features to detect treatment effects following dinaciclib drug or DC vaccine therapy in a transgenic mouse model of PDAC including 21 LSL-KrasG12D ; LSL-Trp53R172H ; Pdx-1-Cre (KPC) mice used as untreated control subjects (n=8) or treated with dinaciclib (n=7) or DC vaccine (n=6). Support vector machines (SVM) technique was performed to build a linear classifier with three variables for detection of tumor tissue changes following drug or vaccine treatments. Besides, multivariate regression models were generated with five variables to predict survival behavior and histopathological tumor markers (Fibrosis, CK19, and Ki67). The diagnostic performance was evaluated using accuracy, area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC) and decision curve analyses. The regression models were evaluated with adjusted r-squared (Radj 2). SVM classifier successfully distinguished changes in tumor tissue with an accuracy of 95.24% and AUC of 0.93. The multivariate models generated with five variables were strongly associated with histopathological tumor markers, fibrosis (Radj 2=0.82, P<0.001), CK19 (Radj 2=0.92, P<0.001) and Ki67 (Radj 2=0.97, P<0.001). Furthermore, the multivariate regression model successfully predicted survival of KPC mice by interpreting tumor characteristics from MRI data (Radj 2=0.91, P<0.001). The results demonstrated that MRI texture features had great potential to generate diagnosis and prognosis models for monitoring early treatment response following dinaciclib drug or DC vaccine treatment and also predicting histopathological tumor markers and long-term clinical outcomes.
