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).
New diagnosis of DMG with imaging and/or pathology consistent with a DMG, including spinal cord tumors. In cohort 1B, previous tumor tissue confirmation of DMG is mandatory and pathology must be consistent with a DMG including diffuse midline glioma Histone 3 lysine 27 - mutant (H3K27M); World Health Organization (WHO) grade III and IV H3 wildtype gliomas.
Must be within 6 weeks of diagnosis to begin standard of care radiation therapy on study.
Diagnosis of DMG with imaging and/or pathology consistent with a DMG, including spinal cord tumors, who have complete standard-of-care radiation therapy. In Cohort 2B, previous tumor tissue confirmation of DMG is mandatory and pathology must be consistent with a DMG including diffuse midline glioma H3K27M mutant; WHO grade III and IV H3 wildtype gliomas.
Participants must be within 4-14 weeks of completion of radiation. Radiation should have started within 6 weeks of diagnosis.
Prior exposure to radiation therapy.
Thalamic and Cerebellar H3K27M DMG.
Thalamic and Cerebellar H3K27M DMG that has undergone standard radiation without concurrent therapy (other than temozolomide).
Prior exposure to re-irradiation for tumor progression.
