You cannot join if

  • 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.
  • 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 protocol-instructed post RT maintenance therapy after enrollment on TarGeT-D.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • Patients with malignancy related to HIV or solid organ transplant: known history of HIV, HBV surface antigen positivity or positive HCV antibody are not eligible. Viral testing is not required unless clinically indicated in patients without a known history.
  • Patients with prior or ongoing clinically significant illness, medical or psychiatric condition, that, in the investigator's opinion, could affect the safety of the participant, or could impair the assessment of study results are not eligible.
  • Patients with any prior solid organ transplant are not eligible.
  • Patients with secondary/radiation-related HGG are not eligible.
  • Patients with metastatic/disseminated HGG who have received CSI are not eligible.

The treatment

How it is intended to work

This is how the treatment is meant to work. Whether it helps, and how safe it is, is what this trial is testing.

olutasidenib. An orally available inhibitor of isocitrate dehydrogenase type 1 (IDH1; IDH-1; IDH1 [NADP+] soluble) with a mutation at arginine (R) 132, IDH1(R132), with potential antineoplastic activity. Upon administration, olutasidenib specifically inhibits IDH1(R132), thereby inhibiting the formation of the oncometabolite 2-hydroxyglutarate (2HG) from alpha-ketoglutarate (a-KG). This prevents 2HG-mediated signaling and leads to both an induction of cellular differentiation and an inhibition of cellular proliferation in tumor cells expressing IDH(R132). IDH1(R132) mutations are highly expressed in certain malignancies, including gliomas; they initiate and drive cancer growth by both blocking cell differentiation and catalyzing the formation of 2HG. NCI Drug Dictionary

locally-acting temozolomide formulation SI-053. A powder for gel formulation containing the cytotoxic alkylating agent temozolomide (TMZ), an imidazotetrazine derivative of the alkylating agent dacarbazine, immobilized on the polymeric carrier dextran phosphate, with potential antineoplastic activity. The TMZ formulation SI-053 forms a viscous gel upon reconstitution in water. Upon local intraoperative administration of the gel into the cavity that is formed after resection of the brain tumor, SI-053 allows for local and prolonged action of TMZ. TMZ is converted at physiologic pH to the short-lived active compound 5-(3-methyl-(triazen-1-yl)-imidazole)-4-carboxamide (monomethyltriazenoimidazole carboxamide; MTIC). The cytotoxicity of MTIC is due to methylation of DNA, particularly at the O6 and N7 positions of guanine residues, resulting in cell cycle arrest, inhibition of DNA replication and the induction of apoptosis. The local administration of TMZ allows for the local destruction of the remaining tumor cells immediately after the removal of the tumor and may prevent the recurrence of tumor growth while having no severe systemic toxicity.
