About this trial

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.

Eligibility criteria

This trial does not accept healthy volunteers

Qualifiers

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.

Disqualifiers

Patient has had prior therapy with bevacizumab or other anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) treatments within 3 months prior to Day 1.

Patient has multifocal disease, leptomeningeal metastasis, or extracranial metastasis.

Patient has a clinically significant abnormal ECG, including those where QT prolongation is determined by the Fridericia formula (QTcF >450 msec for males and >470 msec for females); and/or the patient has a history of Torsade de Pointes.

Patient is known to have dysphagia, short-gut syndrome, gastroparesis, or other condition that may limit the ingestion or gastrointestinal absorption of drugs administered orally.

Trial design

Design model

Parallel

Treatments tested in this trial

  • DSP-0390

    Drug

    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.

Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes

1

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.

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

Changes in DSP-0390 concentration in plasma

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

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

Secondary outcomes

1

Incidence of treatment emergent adverse events (TEAEs)

Assessed using CTCAE v5.0

Time frame
From start of treatment through 30 day follow-up (estimated to be 6 weeks)
2

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

Assessed using CTCAE v5.0

Time frame
From start of treatment through 30 day follow-up (estimated to be 6 weeks)
3

Lathosterol levels in non-enhancing tumor tissue

Lathosterol levels in non-enhancing tumor tissue will be quantified using tissue removed during resection after treatment.

Time frame
At time of surgery following treatment (estimated to be 2 weeks)
4

Changes in lathosterol levels in non-enhancing tumor tissue

Lathosterol levels in non-enhancing tumor tissue will be quantified using tissue removed during resection after treatment.

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