Combination Therapy for the Treatment of Diffuse Midline Gliomas

Summary

This phase II trial determines if the combination of ONC201 with different drugs is effective for treating participants with diffuse midline gliomas (DMGs). Despite years of research, little to no progress has been made to improve outcomes for participants with DMGs, and there are few treatment options. This trial will utilize an adaptive platform design in that the different treatment arms for each cohort will be opened and closed based on ongoing preclinical investigation as well as evolving outcome data from the trial. Novel agents will be continuously added to this study as pre-clinical data emerge to suggest additive or synergistic activity when combined ONC201. Should a novel agent not have an RP2D at the time of incorporation into this study, a phase 1 lead-in will be performed prior to initiation of combination therapy (via study amendment).
