Background: Meningiomas are the most common intracranial tumors. Radiotherapy (RT) serves as an adjunct following surgical resection; however, response varies. RTOG-0539 is a prospective, phase 2, trial that stratified patients risk groups based on clinical and pathological criteria, providing key benchmarks for RT outcomes. This is the first study that aims to characterize the molecular landscape of an RT clinical trial in meningiomas. Methods: Tissue from 100 patients was analyzed using DNA methylation, RNA sequencing, and whole-exome sequencing. Copy number variations and mutational profiles were assessed to determine associations with meningioma aggressiveness. Tumors were molecularly classified and pathway analyses were conducted to identify biological processes associated with RT response. Results: High-risk meningiomas exhibited cell cycle dysregulation and hypermetabolic pathway upregulation. 1p loss and 1q gain were more frequent in aggressive meningiomas, and NF2 and non-NF2 mutations co-occurred in some high-risk tumors. Molecular findings led to the reclassification of several cases, highlighting the limitations of histopathologic grading alone. Conclusions: This is the first study to comprehensively characterize the molecular landscape of any RT trial in meningioma, integrating multi-omic data to refine treatment stratification. Findings align with ongoing genomically driven meningioma clinical trials and underscore the need for prospective tissue banking to enhance biomarker-driven treatment strategies.
