About this trial
The goal of this clinical trial is to see if the combination of valproic acid, irinotecan, and simvastatin causes these tumors to stabilize or shrink, which is a sign that these combinations are effective against tumors in patients with recurrent glioblastoma and adults with recurrent IDH-mutated gliomas

Disqualifiers
Use of an enzyme-inducing antiepileptic or other strong inducer of CYP3A4
Prior treatment with irinotecan
Prior use of valproic acid within 2 months
Anticancer treatment within 4 weeks, 6 weeks if nitrosourea

Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes
Assessing Efficacy as Measured By Response Rate Of Valproic acid, Irinotecan, and Simvastatin in Recurrent Glioma
The response is defined as a confirmed complete response (CR) or partial response (PR) defined by RANO 2.0. Response rate will be calculated as the number of observed response (PR or CR) divided by all treated subjects in the arm.
Secondary outcomes
Assessing Safety and Adverse Event Rates Of Valproic Acid, Irinotecan, And Simvastatin in Recurrent Glioma
Adverse events will be reported for all patients who receive at least one dose of study medicine.
