Study of Olutasidenib and Temozolomide in HGG

Phase 2 Study of Olutasidenib With Temozolomide as Maintenance Therapy in Pediatric and Young Adult Patients Newly Diagnosed With High-Grade Glioma (HGG), Including Diffuse Intrinsic Pontine Glioma (DIPG), Which Harbor IDH1 Mutations

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.

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:
