If patients were within 90 days of radiotherapy, they may have still been eligible if they met one or more of the following criteria. 1. Progressive tumor is outside the original high-dose radiotherapy target volume as determined by the treating investigator, or 2. Histologic confirmation of tumor through biopsy or resection, or 3. Nuclear medicine imaging, magnetic resonance (MR) spectroscopy, or MR perfusion imaging consistent with true progressive disease, rather than pseudoprogression or radiation necrosis obtained within 28 days of registration. 7. From the projected start of scheduled study treatment, the following time periods must have had elapsed: 5 half-lives from any investigational agent, 4 weeks from cytotoxic therapy (except 23 days for temozolomide and 6 weeks from nitrosoureas), 6 weeks from antibodies, or 4 weeks (or 5 half-lives, whichever is shorter) from other anti-tumor therapies. 8. All adverse events Grade \>1 related to prior therapies (chemotherapy, radiotherapy, and/or surgery) must have been resolved to Grade 1 or baseline, except for alopecia and sensory neuropathy Grade ≤2, or other Grade ≤2 not constituting a safety risk based on investigator's judgment, are acceptable. 9. Were male or female aged ≥18 years. 10. Had a Karnofsky Performance Status (KPS) ≥60. 11. Had adequate organ and marrow function as defined below, all screening labs should be performed within 14 days of treatment initiation: * leukocytes ≥ 3,000/mcL * absolute neutrophil count ≥ 1,500/mcL * platelets ≥ 75,000/mcL * hemoglobin \> 8.0 mg/dL * total bilirubin ≤ 2.0 × upper limit of normal (ULN) * aspartate aminotransferase (AST) \[SGOT\]/alanine aminotransferase (ALT) \[SGPT\] ≤ 2.5 × ULN * creatinine ≤ULN OR creatinine clearance ≥60 mL/min/1.73 m2 for patients with creatinine levels above normal. 12. Had contrast-enhanced head CT or brain MRI and entire spine MRI within 14 days prior to start of study drug. 13. Corticosteroid dose must have been stable or decreasing for at least 3 days prior to the baseline CT or MRI scan. 14. Women of childbearing potential (WOCBP) and men must have agreed to use adequate contraception prior to study entry and for the duration of study participation and for 30 days after the last dose of therapy. Highly effective contraceptive measures include: stable use of oral contraceptives such as combined estrogen and progestogen and progestogen only hormonal contraception or other prescription pharmaceutical contraceptives for 2 or more menstrual cycles prior to screening; intrauterine device \[IUD\]; intrauterine hormone-releasing system (IUS); bilateral tubal ligation; vasectomy and sexual abstinence. 1. WOCBP must have had a negative serum or urine pregnancy test within 28 days of initiation of dosing. 2. Contraception was not required for men with documented vasectomy. 3.

Had presence of diffuse leptomeningeal disease or evidence of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) dissemination. 7. Had uncontrolled intercurrent illness including, but not limited to, ongoing or active infection or psychiatric illness/social situations that would limit compliance with study requirements. 8. Had an active infection requiring systemic therapy. 9. Were pregnant and/or breastfeeding women or unable to maintain use of contraception while on study and for 30 days after the last dose of study drug.

Had tumors with known IDH1 (isocitrate dehydrogenase 1) or known IDH2 mutations as determined by immunohistochemistry for the IDH1 R132H variant or by direct sequencing. IDH1/2-mutant gliomas have a markedly longer overall survival rate compared to those with IDH1/2-wildtype glioma (Parsons et al., 2008; Yan et al., 2009), indicating IDH1/2-mutant gliomas have a distinct natural history. 14. Had tumors with known 1p/19q co-deletion. 15. Had known additional malignancy that is progressing or requires active treatment within 3 years of start of study drug. Exceptions include basal cell carcinoma of the skin, squamous cell carcinoma of the skin, in situ melanoma, or in situ cervical cancer that has undergone potentially curative therapy. 16. Had any surgery (not including minor diagnostic procedures such as lymph node biopsy) within 2 weeks of baseline disease assessments; or not fully recovered from any side effects of previous procedures. An interval of 1 week for stereotactic brain biopsy from the start of study treatment is acceptable. 17. Had concomitant use of potent cytochrome P450 (CYP)3A4/5 inhibitors during the treatment phase of the study and within 72 hours prior to starting study drug administration. 18. Had concomitant use of potent CYP3A4/5 inducers, which include enzyme inducing antiepileptic drugs (EIAEDs), during the treatment phase of the study and within 2 weeks prior to starting treatment. Concurrent dexamethasone is allowed.

- description
- Quantitative thresholds for objective response by Response Assessment in Neuro-Oncology (RANO) criteria for target lesions on radiographic imaging are Complete Response (CR) is the disappearance of all target lesions; Partial Response (PR) requires a ≥50% decrease in the sum of products of perpendicular diameters of target lesions from baseline. Other considerations for RANO response include assessments of non-target lesions, corticosteroids, and performance status. The Overall Response Rate is the proportion of patients who achieve either CR or PR. Tumor assessments were conducted at 8 weeks (±1 week) following the initiation of therapy and every 8 weeks (±1 week) thereafter. All patients who received at least one dose of dordaviprone (ONC201) were included in the analysis, including patients with diffuse intrinsic pontine glioma (DIPG) or primary spinal tumors, which are historically not assessable for response using RANO-HGG criteria due to anatomical or imaging limitations.

- detailed Description
- This study included 2 arms: * Arm A included patients with recurrent H3 K27M-mutant glioma. * Arm B included patients with recurrent H3 K27M-mutant glioma, but excluded patients with the following: * Primary malignant lesion located in the pons or spinal cord. * Atypical non-astrocytic histologies such as ependymoma, ganglioma and pleomorphic xanthoastrocytoma, or pilocytic astrocytoma and subependymal giant cell astrocytoma (SEGA). * Prior bevacizumab treatment of \>4 doses of \>7.5 mg/kg Patients received dordaviprone (ONC201) 625 mg once weekly. The primary assessment of dordaviprone (ONC201) involved evaluating its anti-tumor activity through the overall response rate according to the Response Assessment in Neuro-Oncology (RANO) criteria for high-grade glioma (HGG). Safety was also assessed, with evaluations including the reporting of adverse events, as well as measurements of vital signs and clinical laboratory results. This study was terminated by an administrative protocol amendment (17 January 2023). The decision to terminate the study was not related to any safety concerns with dordaviprone (ONC201). Before the study was terminated, a total of 73 patients were enrolled and received at least 1 dose of dordaviprone (ONC201).
