Safusidenib in IDH1-mutant glioma after vorasidenib progression
Official title: A Phase 2, Multicenter, Clinical Study to Evaluate the Efficacy and Safety of Safusidenib Erbumine in Participants With Isocitrate Dehydrogenase 1 (IDH1)-Mutant Glioma Who Discontinued Vorasidenib Treatment Due to Progressive Disease

Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Adults with Grade 2 or Grade 3 IDH1-mutant glioma (astrocytoma or 1p/19q co-deleted oligodendroglioma) who progressed on vorasidenib after prior surgery and have measurable disease, not requiring immediate chemo/radiation.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients whose disease does not respond to safusidenib or who have rapid progression despite treatment may not experience benefit.

What this trial studies
This is a Phase 2 interventional study enrolling up to 40 participants with Grade 2 or Grade 3 IDH1-mutant gliomas (including astrocytoma and 1p/19q co-deleted oligodendroglioma) who previously received vorasidenib and showed radiographic progression. Eligible participants have measurable disease confirmed by blinded central review and are not in urgent need of chemotherapy or radiotherapy. Safusidenib is the investigational intervention, with enrollment limited to sites at UCLA, UCSF, and Yale. Key endpoints will assess safety and any signs of clinical activity in a population that has limited remaining standard options.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, safusidenib could provide a new treatment option to slow disease and manage symptoms in this specific genetic glioma subgroup.
How similar studies have gone: Previous approaches targeting IDH1-mutant gliomas have shown biological activity in early settings, but this exact vorasidenib-progressed population is relatively novel.

Show full inclusion / exclusion criteria
Key Inclusion Criteria: * Histologically confirmed Grade 2 or 3 IDH-mutant astrocytoma or IDH-mutant and 1p19q co-deleted oligodendroglioma, according to WHO CNS 2021 criteria * IDH1 mutation (e.g., R132H/C/G/S/L) based on immunohistochemistry (IHC) (R132H only), PCR, or next generation sequencing (NGS). * Have had at least 1 prior surgery for glioma (biopsy, sub-total resection, or gross total resection). * Measurable disease per modified RANO 2.0 confirmed by BICR during Screening. * Previously treated with vorasidenib and experienced radiographic disease progression during treatment and are not in need of immediate chemotherapy or radiotherapy in the opinion of the Investigator. Disease progression must be confirmed by BICR using modified RANO 2.0. * Adequate hematologic and organ function * Expected survival of ≥12 months Key Exclusion Criteria: * Any prior anticancer therapy other than surgery (biopsy, sub-total, or gross total resection) and vorasidenib for treatment of glioma. * Discontinued vorasidenib for toxicity or any reason other than radiographic disease progression * Prior treatment with anti-angiogenic agents such as Avastin (bevacizumab) or investigational agents for glioma. * Brainstem or spinal cord involvement either as primary location, site of multifocal involvement, or by significant tumor extension. * Significant functional or neurocognitive deficits, including uncontrolled seizures * Evidence of leptomeningeal disease. * Use of therapeutic doses of steroids for signs/symptoms of glioma. Participants taking physiologic doses (defined as equivalent of \<1.5 mg of dexamethasone equivalent) for medical conditions not related to glioma will be permitted.
