NCT06636162

Brief Summary

This study focuses on determining the pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic effect of DSP-0390 in brain and blood from patients with IDH-mutant glioma undergoing tumor resection. Tissue will be collected during surgical resection. Blood will be drawn at various time points throughout the 2 weeks of treatment. The hypothesis is that DSP-0390 will accumulate in brain tumor tissue at pharmacologically relevant concentrations, and that alterations in cholesterol metabolism driven by mutant IDH will increase susceptibility to DSP-0390 and lead to tumor cell death.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (2)

  • Unbound DSP-0390 concentration in non-enhancing tumor tissue

    Unbound DSP-0390 concentration in non-enhancing tumor tissue will be quantified using tissue removed during resection after treatment.

    At time of surgery following treatment (estimated to be 2 weeks)

  • Changes in DSP-0390 concentration in plasma

    Unbound DSP-0390 concentration in plasma will be quantified using blood samples taken throughout treatment.

    From start of treatment through end of treatment (estimated to be 2 weeks)

Secondary Outcomes (23)

  • Incidence of treatment emergent adverse events (TEAEs)

    From start of treatment through 30 day follow-up (estimated to be 6 weeks)

  • Incidence of grade 3 or higher study drug related adverse events (AEs)

    From start of treatment through 30 day follow-up (estimated to be 6 weeks)

  • Lathosterol levels in non-enhancing tumor tissue

    At time of surgery following treatment (estimated to be 2 weeks)

  • Changes in lathosterol levels in non-enhancing tumor tissue

    Baseline and at time of surgery following treatment (estimated to be 2 weeks)

  • Zymostenol levels in non-enhancing tumor tissue

    At time of surgery following treatment (estimated to be 2 weeks)

  • +18 more secondary outcomes

Study Arms (2)

Arm A Low Grade Gliomas: DSP-0390 120 mg

EXPERIMENTAL

Patients will be assigned to DSP-0390 120 mg once daily by mouth for approximately 2 weeks and up to 17 days prior to surgical resection, with the final dose being administered the morning of surgery.

Arm B High Grade Gliomas: DSP-0390 180 mg

EXPERIMENTAL

Patients will be assigned to DSP-0390 180 mg once daily by mouth for approximately 1 week prior to surgical resection, with the final dose being administered the morning of surgery.

Interventions

DSP-0390 will be administered orally with preferably 200 mL of water, or approximately one-half cup water. The patient will take DSP-0390 after a minimum of a 6-hour fast and will fast for 1 hour after taking the dose.

Eligibility Criteria

Age18 Years+
Sexall
Healthy VolunteersNo
Age GroupsAdult (18-64), Older Adult (65+)

You may qualify if:

  • Patients must have either newly diagnosed and suspected glioma per radiographic features, or radiographic recurrence of a histologically confirmed IDH-mutant glioma with the following grade requirements:
  • ARM A: suspected lower grade glioma, or histologically confirmed grade II IDH-mutant glioma OR
  • ARM B: suspected high grade glioma, or histologically confirmed grade III or IV glioma.
  • Patient must be a candidate for surgical resection
  • At least 18 years of age.
  • Karnofsky ≥ 70%
  • Adequate bone marrow and organ function as defined below:
  • Absolute neutrophil count ≥ 1.5 K/cumm (patient may not use G-CSF or GM-CSF to achieve this ANC level)
  • Platelets ≥ 100 K/cumm
  • Hemoglobin ≥ 9 g/dL (patient may not receive transfusion or use erythropoietin to obtain this Hgb level)
  • Total bilirubin ≤ 1.5 x IULN (or ≤ 3 x IULN for patients with known Gilbert's syndrome)
  • AST(SGOT)/ALT(SGPT) ≤ 3.0 x IULN
  • International normalized ratio (INR), prothrombin time (PT), partial thromboplastin time (PTT), or activated partial thromboplastin time (aPTT) ≤1.5 x ULN.
