"DLL3 immunostaining was intense and homogeneous in IDH mutant gliomas, retained in all recurrent tumors, and detected in only 1 of 20 non-tumor brains. Patient-derived IDH mutant glioma tumorspheres overexpressed DLL3 and were potently sensitive to Rova-T in an antigen-dependent manner."

This is particularly interesting because the therapy is currently available in a clinical trial for recurrent GBM and other solid tumors recruiting at multiple locations across the USA.
