Who cannot join
- Pregnancy or Breast-Feeding: Pregnant or breast-feeding women will not be entered on this study due to unknown potential risks of fetal and teratogenic adverse events as seen in animal studies. Pregnancy tests must be obtained in girls who are post-menarchal. Patients of childbearing or child fathering potential must agree to use one highly effective method of contraception while being treated on this study and for 3 months after completing therapy. A woman is considered of childbearing potential if she is fertile, following menarche and until becoming post-menopausal unless permanently sterile. A postmenopausal state is defined as no menses for 12 months without an alternative medical cause. A high follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) level in the postmenopausal range may be used to confirm a post-menopausal state in women not using hormonal contraception or hormonal replacement therapy. However, in the absence of 12 months of amenorrhea, a single FSH measurement is insufficient. A man is considered fertile after puberty unless permanently sterile by bilateral orchidectomy. Male participants should refrain from sperm donation throughout the duration of treatment and for 3 months after completion of therapy.
- A highly effective contraception method is defined as one that results in a low failure rate (<1% per year) when used consistently and correctly. The following are considered highly effective contraception methods:
- Combined estrogen and progesterone containing hormonal contraception associated with inhibition of ovulation.
- Progesterone-only hormonal contraception associated with inhibition of ovulation.
- Intra Uterine Device (IUD).
- Intra uterine hormone releasing system.

- Bilateral tubal occlusion.
- Vasectomized partner.
- Sexual abstinence (avoiding heterosexual intercourse).
- The following contraceptive measures are NOT considered effective:
- Progesterone-only hormonal contraception (birth control pill) that that does NOT stop ovulation.
- Male or female condom with or without spermicide.
- Cap, diaphragm, or sponge with spermicide.
- Using the following types of concomitant medications:
- Corticosteroids: Patients receiving corticosteroids are eligible. The use of corticosteroids must be reported.
- Investigational Drugs: Patients who are currently receiving another investigational drug are not eligible.
- Anti-cancer Agents: Concurrent anti-cancer agents are not allowed with the exception of temozolomide given concurrently with RT and as protocol-instructed post RT maintenance therapy after enrollment on TarGeT-D.
- Anticonvulsants: Patients who are receiving enzyme inducing anticonvulsants that are strong inducers of CYP3A4/5 are not eligible.
- Strong CYP3A4/5 inducers: Patients who are receiving strong inducers of CYP3A4/5 are not eligible. Strong inducers of CYP3A4/5 should be avoided from 14 days prior to or 5 half-lives (whichever is longer) enrollment to the end of the study.

About this study
Official title: Phase 2 Study of Olutasidenib With Temozolomide as Maintenance Therapy in Pediatric and Young Adult Patients Newly Diagnosed With High-Grade Glioma (HGG), Including Diffuse Intrinsic Pontine Glioma (DIPG), Which Harbor IDH1 Mutations
The goal of this study is to determine the efficacy of the study drug olutasidenib to treat newly diagnosed pediatric and young adult patients with a high-grade glioma (HGG) harboring an IDH1 mutation.
The main question the study aims to answer is whether the combination of olutasidenib and temozolomide (TMZ) can prolong the life of patients diagnosed with an IDH-mutant HGG.
Read the detailed description
This is a multicenter, international, phase II study of post-radiotherapy (RT) administration of olutasidenib to treat pediatric and young adult patients newly diagnosed with an IDH1-mutant HGG. The trial will include a feasibility cohort to identify the dose of olutasidenib that is feasible when given in combination with temozolomide as maintenance therapy after completion of focal radiotherapy in this patient population.
Efficacy will be defined by progression-free survival (PFS) distribution of these patients after completion of radiotherapy treated with maintenance olutasidenib and TMZ for 13 cycles followed by 13 cycles of single agent olutasidenib compared to molecularly-stratified and matched historical controls.
Objective radiographic response rates, agent-specific toxicities as well as the pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic properties of olutasidenib will also be assessed.

What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Establish the RP2D of Olutasidenib and Temozolomide (Feasibility cohort)
To identify the dose of olutasidenib that is feasible when given post-RT in combination with temozolomide as maintenance therapy in pediatric and young adult patients newly diagnosed with IDH1-mutant high-grade glioma
Measured: Completion of cycle 1 (28 days) for 6-24 patients
Assess Progression-Free Survival (PFS) in Grade 3 IDH1-mutant Astrocytoma (Stratum A)
To assess the post-RT efficacy of olutasidenib in newly diagnosed patients with WHO Grade 3 IDH1-mutant Astrocytoma treated with maintenance olutasidenib and temozolomide for 13 cycles followed by 13 cycles of single agent olutasidenib compared to molecularly-stratified and matched historical controls
Measured: From date of diagnosis until date of Progressive Disease or death due to any cause or date of last follow-up, assessed up 24 months
Maximum plasma concentration [Cmax] of Olutasidenib
To characterize the plasma pharmacokinetic (PK) properties of olutasidenib in pediatric patients (e.g., 12 to < 18 years of age), administered in combination with temozolomide (first year) and as single agent (second year) as maintenance chemotherapy by measuring the Maximum Concentration [Cmax] and Area Under the Curve (AUC) of olutasidenib in plasma (All strata).
Measured: From Day 1 of treatment until date of first documented progression or date of death from any cause, whichever comes first, assessed up to 24 months
Secondary outcomes (4)
Evaluate objective response rate (ORR) in HGG (All Strata)
Evaluate the radiographic objective response rate (ORR) defined as complete response (CR) + partial response (PR) in pediatric and young adult patients newly diagnosed with IDH1-mutant HGG treated with post-RT olutasidenib with temozolomide.
Measured: From day 1 of protocol treatment through 30 days following end of protocol treatment
Evaluate Health-Related Quality of Life Outcomes (All Strata)
Evaluate health-related quality of life outcomes of pediatric and young adult patients newly-diagnosed with IDH1-mutant HGG treated with post-RT olutasidenib by patient and/or parent reporting at key timepoints in therapy using the patient reported outcomes measurement information system (PROMIS) survey.
These survey systems report scores on a scale of 1(minimum) to 5 (maximum). The scores may reflect frequencies from "1-Never" to "5-Always" or levels of autonomy from "1-With no trouble" to "5-Not able to do". Scores are interpreted differently for the different outcome measures
Measured: From pre-maintenance (2 weeks before the first cycle), and at the start of even numbered cycles (each cycle is 28 days) and at the End of Treatment visit (can have up to 26 cycles)
Evaluate Overall Survival in IDH1-mutant Grade 3 Astrocytoma (Stratum A)
Determine distribution of OS in pediatric and young adult patients newly-diagnosed with IDH1-mutant Grade 3 Astrocytoma treated with post-RT olutasidenib and temozolomide for 13 cycles followed by 13 cycles of single agent olutasidenib compared to molecularly-stratified and matched historical controls.(Stratum A)
Measured: From date of diagnosis until date of death due to any cause or date of last follow-up, assessed up to 60 months
Assess Progression-Free Survival in IDH1-mutant Grade 4 Astrocytoma (Stratum B)
To assess the post-RT efficacy of olutasidenib in newly diagnosed patients with WHO Grade 4 IDH1-mutant Astrocytoma treated with maintenance olutasidenib and temozolomide for 13 cycles followed by 13 cycles of single agent olutasidenib compared to molecularly-stratified and matched historical controls
Measured: From date of diagnosis until date of Progressive Disease or death due to any cause or date of last follow-up, assessed up 24 months
