Brief Summary

The goal of this study is to determine the efficacy of the study drug olutasidenib to treat newly diagnosed pediatric and young adult patients with a high-grade glioma (HGG) harboring an IDH1 mutation.

The main question the study aims to answer is whether the combination of olutasidenib and temozolomide (TMZ) can prolong the life of patients diagnosed with an IDH-mutant HGG.

Detailed Description

This is a multicenter, international, phase II study of post-radiotherapy (RT) administration of olutasidenib to treat pediatric and young adult patients newly diagnosed with an IDH1-mutant HGG. The trial will include a feasibility cohort to identify the dose of olutasidenib that is feasible when given in combination with temozolomide as maintenance therapy after completion of focal radiotherapy in this patient population.

Efficacy will be defined by progression-free survival (PFS) distribution of these patients after completion of radiotherapy treated with maintenance olutasidenib and TMZ for 13 cycles followed by 13 cycles of single agent olutasidenib compared to molecularly-stratified and matched historical controls.

Objective radiographic response rates, agent-specific toxicities as well as the pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic properties of olutasidenib will also be assessed.

Exclusion Criteria

1. Pregnancy or Breast-Feeding: Pregnant or breast-feeding women will not be entered on this study due to unknown potential risks of fetal and teratogenic adverse events as seen in animal studies. Pregnancy tests must be obtained in girls who are post-menarchal. Patients of childbearing or child fathering potential must agree to use one highly effective method of contraception while being treated on this study and for 3 months after completing therapy. A woman is considered of childbearing potential if she is fertile, following menarche and until becoming post-menopausal unless permanently sterile. A postmenopausal state is defined as no menses for 12 months without an alternative medical cause. A high follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) level in the postmenopausal range may be used to confirm a post-menopausal state in women not using hormonal contraception or hormonal replacement therapy. However, in the absence of 12 months of amenorrhea, a single FSH measurement is insufficient. A man is considered fertile after puberty unless permanently sterile by bilateral orchidectomy. Male participants should refrain from sperm donation throughout the duration of treatment and for 3 months after completion of therapy.

   A highly effective contraception method is defined as one that results in a low failure rate (<1% per year) when used consistently and correctly. The following are considered highly effective contraception methods:

   • Combined estrogen and progesterone containing hormonal contraception associated with inhibition of ovulation.

   • Progesterone-only hormonal contraception associated with inhibition of ovulation.

   • Intra Uterine Device (IUD).

   • Intra uterine hormone releasing system.

   • Bilateral tubal occlusion.

   • Vasectomized partner.

   • Sexual abstinence (avoiding heterosexual intercourse).

   • The following contraceptive measures are NOT considered effective:

     • Progesterone-only hormonal contraception (birth control pill) that that does NOT stop ovulation.
     • Male or female condom with or without spermicide.
     • Cap, diaphragm, or sponge with spermicide.

2. Using the following types of concomitant medications:

   • Corticosteroids: Patients receiving corticosteroids are eligible. The use of corticosteroids must be reported.
   • Investigational Drugs: Patients who are currently receiving another investigational drug are not eligible.
   • Anti-cancer Agents: Concurrent anti-cancer agents are not allowed with the exception of temozolomide given concurrently with RT and as post RT maintenance therapy.
   • Anticonvulsants: Patients who are receiving enzyme inducing anticonvulsants that are strong inducers of CYP3A4/5 are not eligible.
   • Strong CYP3A4/5 inducers: Patients who are receiving strong inducers of CYP3A4/5 are not eligible. Strong inducers of CYP3A4/5 should be avoided from 14 days prior to or 5 half-lives (whichever is longer) enrollment to the end of the study.
   • Patients who are receiving medications known to prolong QTc interval are not eligible
   • Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) such as citalopram (Celexa), escitalopram (Lexapro), fluoxetine (Prozac), fluvoxamine (Luvox), paroxetine (Paxil), sertraline (Zoloft) should be used with caution but are not contraindicated.
   • Anticoagulants: patients who are receiving therapeutic anticoagulation with warfarin are not eligible.

3. Other Criteria

   • Infection: Patients who have an uncontrolled infection are not eligible.
   • Patients who, in the opinion of the investigator, may not be able to comply with the safety monitoring requirements of the study are not eligible.
   • Patients with known clinically significant active malabsorption syndrome or other condition that could affect absorption are not eligible.
