Zusammenfassung der Studie

We do not yet know much about how combinations of medications affect the prognosis of patients diagnosed with DMG. The standard procedure in Switzerland is the molecular analysis of tumor tissue (during surgery, a small piece of the tumor is taken = biopsy) and radiation therapy. Most patients are enrolled in a clinical trial after radiation therapy. Experiments with cells from DMG patients have shown that the combination of ONC201 and Paxalisib may be more effective at killing tumor cells than monotherapies. This study aims to investigate whether this effect can also be observed in DMG patients. This is a so-called randomized, open-label research study. Randomization means that patients are randomly assigned to a group, like flipping a coin. Open-Label means that both participants and researchers know which study medications the patients receive.

Cohorts 1, 2, and 3 receive ONC201 with Paxalisib as maintenance therapy. Cohort 4 receives only ONC201, but at a higher dose. Cohort 5 receives ONC201, at a higher dose along with a targeted therapy.

In cohort 3B, 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 have evidence of progression and not have received any treatment for this progression and have not previously received re-irradiation.

COHORT 4A AND 4B:
