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

Eligibility criteria

This trial does not accept healthy volunteers

Qualifiers

Diagnosis of glioblastoma or IDH-mutated glioma by WHO 2021 classification

For glioblastoma, at least one prior treatment, which needs to include temozolomide and/or radiation

For IDH-mutated glioma, prior treatment with both radiation and alkylating chemotherapy

Evidence of progression by RANO 2.0 criteria on MRI within last four weeks

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

1

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.

Time frame
through study completion, an average of 6 months from start of treatment

Secondary outcomes

1

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.

Time frame
through end of study, average 9 months from start of treatment
