About this trial

The TUVASTRAT study is a phase 2, non-randomized, two.cohort, CRS clinical trial of tuvusertib in patients with first recurrence of IDH1/2-mutated, ATRX-mutated and p53-mutated astrocytoma (Grade 2-4 from WHO classification). The mutational status of IDH (required for diagnosis) is also required. CDKN2A and ATRX will be also determined locally as per standard of care.

All enrolled patients should have received first-line chemotherapy and have reported a contrast enhanced PD. Eligible patients are enrolled in two cohorts depending on their eligibility to undergo rescue surgery:

* Cohort A: First recurrence of IDH1/2-mutated, ATRX-mutated astrocytoma NOT eligible for rescue surgery. * Cohort B: First recurrence of IDH1/2-mutated, ATRX-mutated astrocytoma candidates to rescue surgery.

The primary hypothesis is that treatment with tuvusertib, an ATR inhibitor, will improve the efficacy outcomes and increase the 6-months PFS rate from 45% reported by the standard therapies up to 65% in patients with recurrent IDH-mutated astrocytomas with ATRX mutation.

Clinic visits will occur every 3 weeks ±3 days. Tumor assessments by MRI according to RANO 2.0 criteria will be performed at baseline, and every 12 weeks +/-2 weeks (Q12W) until PD, patient withdrawal, start of new treatment line or death. This schedule must be maintained regardless of any delays in dosing. After the first suspect of progression, we recommend a second MRI at 4-8 weeks to confirm the progression, except if there is clinical progression. The MRI imaging will be assessed by PI and central radiologists.

The trial includes the assessment of safety (AEs, comorbidities) throughout the study period at every visit, the collection of health-related patient reported outcomes through validated questionnaires at baseline, coincident with the tumor assessments and at the safety visit. Neurologic / neurocognitive status will be assessed through validated tests administered by the physicians. Additionally, ATRX, IDH, P53 and CDK2A mutations will be centrally reviewed in tumor biopsies or archival tumor tissue obtained as close as possible to the baseline. PKs will be determined in sparse peripheral blood samples during the treatment phase.

The study includes a data safety monitoring committee (DSMC) to regularly review safety and efficacy. The DSMC will review efficacy and safety at least yearly and more frequently if deemed necessary.

Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes

1

6-months progression-free survival (PFS) rate

defined as the proportion of patients alive and free of progression according to RANO 2.0 estimated by Kaplan-Meier.

Time frame
At 6 months after the first dose of tuvusertib

Secondary outcomes

1

Objective response (ORR)

defined as the percentage of patients who have achieved complete response (CR), or partial response (PR) as their best response throughout the study locally assessed by investigators and by central radiologists by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) following RANO criteria v2.0

Time frame
Throughout the study period, approximately an average of 2 year
2

Progression-free survival (PFS)

defined as the time from the first tuvusertib dosing date until the first documentation of disease progression or death from any cause, whichever occurs first. This endpoint will be locally assessed by investigators by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) following RANO criteria v2.0. The median estimated by kaplan-Meier will be reported.

Time frame
Throughout the study period, approximately an average of 2 year
3

Overall survival (OS)

defined as the time from the first tuvusertib dosing date to the date of death from any cause. The median estimated by kaplan-Meier will be reported.

Time frame
Throughout the study period, approximately an average of 2 year
4

Time to Next Intervention (TTNI)

defined as the time from the first tuvusertib dosing date to the initiation of the first subsequent anticancer therapy (surgery, radiotherapy, chemotherapy or any antitumoral systemic treatment)

Time frame
Throughout the study period, approximately an average of 2 year

Other outcomes

1

Pathologic response

Only for cohort B, patients who are candidate to surgery. Percentage of patients who have no viable tumor cells within the tumor resected in the surgical intervention.

Time frame
Surgery will be performed after two tuvusertib cycles (each cycle is 3 weeks), approximately within 2-3 months from first dose of study treatment
