Study Details

This phase III trial compares the effect of vorasidenib to placebo in combination with usual treatment, temozolomide, in treating patients with newly diagnosed grade 3 astrocytoma after radiation. Temozolomide is in a class of medications called alkylating agents. It works by damaging the cell's deoxyribonucleic acid and may kill tumor cells and slow down or stop tumor growth. Vorasidenib citrate blocks the proteins made by the mutated IDH1 and IDH2 genes, which may help keep tumor cells from growing. It is a type of enzyme inhibitor and a type of targeted therapy. Adding vorasidenib to the usual treatment, temozolomide, may be more effective than temozolomide alone in treating patients with newly diagnosed grade 3 astrocytoma after radiation therapy.

Arms

• Placebo Comparator: Arm I (temozolomide, placebo)
  Patients receive IMRT/VMAT or PBS or IMPT QD on Monday-Friday for 33 fractions. Starting 4 weeks after radiotherapy, patients receive temozolomide PO QD on days 1-5 and placebo PO QD on days 1-28 of each cycle. Cycles of combination treatment repeat every 28 days for up to 12 months and placebo alone repeats every 28 days in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Additionally, patients undergo blood sample collection and MRI throughout the study.
• Experimental: Arm II (temozolomide, vorasidenib)
  Patients receive IMRT/VMAT or PBS or IMPT QD on Monday-Friday for 33 fractions. Starting 4 weeks after radiotherapy, patients receive temozolomide PO QD on days 1-5 and vorasidenib PO QD on days 1-28 of each cycle. Cycles of combination treatment repeat every 28 days for up to 12 months and vorasidenib alone repeats every 28 days in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Additionally, patients undergo blood sample collection and MRI throughout the study.

Primary Outcome Measure
