This is an interventional treatment trial for Glioma Read More

Inclusion Criteria:

Age:

1. Patient must be ≥ 18 years of age at the time of signing the informed consent form (ICF).

   Type of Patient and Disease Characteristics:

2. In Part 1, patient must have histologically confirmed IDH1 mutated WHO Grade 2 glioma or Grade 3 glioma.
3. Patient participating in the Part 1 Stage 2 Surgery Cohort is expected to have a stable disease at least and eligible for surgery after one-cycle treatment of AB-218, as deemed by Investigator.
4. In Part 2, patient must have histologically confirmed IDH mutated WHO Grade 3 glioma.
5. Patient has available archived primary tumor biopsy or surgical specimens, or biopsies of recurrence of metastasis for retrospective IDH mutation confirmation, other glioma mutation testing to support the reconfirmation of Glioma WHO classification and explorative studies. At least 100-micron length of formalin fixed paraffin embedded (FFPE) tissue or tissue block shall be available for enrollment and shipped to the designated laboratory. If unavailable, patient could still be eligible after the assessment by the Sponsor upon the sufficiency of assessment.
6. The IDH mutation, 1p/19q co-deletion and CDKN2A/B homozygous deletion are determined by a validated assay as performed in Clinical Laboratory Improvement Amendments (CLIA)-certified/College of American Pathologists (CAP)-accredited or locally equivalent clinical laboratories. Prior clinical pathology report fulfilling the diagnosis criteria prior to screening with tumor samples collected is acceptable for subject enrollment in both Part 1 and Part 2. If no such report is available, samples shall be sent for the designated central lab for the determination retrospectively of related gene abnormalities.
7. Patient must have no more than 2 disease recurrence or progression and have failed to the standard therapy that patient has not responded to this therapy.
8. Patient did not receive the prior therapy targeted to IDH1 mutation
9. Patient must have a measurable lesion(s) as per the RANO or RANO-LGG criteria, as applicable. The lesion (s) must be visible on two or more axial slices and have perpendicular diameters of at least 10 × 10 mm.
10. Patient must have life expectancy ≥ 3 months.
11. Patient must have Karnofsky Performance Status (KPS) score ≥ 60.
12. Patient must have mild or moderate neurologic symptoms in accordance with the Neurological Assessment in Neuro-Oncology Scale (NANO).

13. Patient who has adequate organ functions as defined below:

    • Aspartate aminotransferase (AST) and alanine aminotransferase (ALT): ≤ 2.5 × upper limit of normal (ULN)
    • Total bilirubin: ≤ 1.5 × ULN
    • Absolute neutrophil count: ≥ 1,500/μL
    • Platelet count: ≥ 100,000/μL (or ≥ 50,000/μL for prior temozolomide therapy)
    • Hemoglobin: ≥ 9.0 g/dL
    • Creatinine clearance (Cockcroft Gault Formula) ≥ 60 mL/min An out of range laboratory test will be repeated up to 2 times before declaring a screen failure, and after expiration of screening window, patients will be re screened.

14. Recovery to Grade 1 or baseline from any toxicities due to prior therapies (except conditions such as alopecia and irreversible changes associated with radiation therapy).

    Sex and Contraceptive/Barrier Requirements:

15. Female patients who engage in heterosexual intercourse must be of non childbearing potential, defined as either surgically sterile (e.g., hysterectomy, bilateral salpingectomy, or bilateral oophorectomy), OR be postmenopausal with at least 1 year of amenorrhea, OR must agree to use a highly effective method of contraception from the beginning of Screening until at least 90 days after the last dose of study drug.

    Acceptable highly effective methods of contraception include:

    • Combined estrogen progestin oral hormonal contraception associated with consistent inhibition of ovulation.
    • Desogestrel based progestin only contraception associated with consistent inhibition of ovulation; this includes oral, injectable, and implantable methods
    • Intravaginal and transdermal hormone delivery methods
    • Intrauterine device (with or without hormone elution)
    • Bilateral tubal occlusion or ligation (must be documented)
    • Vasectomized partner (must be documented) or Sexual abstinence (only when it is the usual and preferred lifestyle of the patient).

16. Male patients should agree to use a condom when sexually active with a female partner of childbearing potential from Screening until at least 90 days after the last dose of study drug (or be surgically sterile [e.g., vasectomy with documentation]; or remain abstinent [when this is in line with the preferred and usual lifestyle]). Male patients should also agree to not donate sperm for the duration of the study and until at least 90 days after the last dose of study drug.

    Informed Consent:

17. Patient should be willing to provide written ICF.
18. Ability to undergo the protocol specified procedures, including blood tests and urinalysis.

Exclusion Criteria:

Medical Conditions:

1. Patients with history or complication of any of the following diseases within 3 months prior to the initial dose of the study drug:

   • Myocardial infarction
   • Severe or unstable angina pectoris
   • Coronary or peripheral endovascular treatment
   • Heart failure
   • Cerebrovascular disorder including transient ischemic attack, stroke, central nervous system (CNS) bleeding.
2. Uncontrolled active systemic fungal, bacterial, or other infection (despite appropriate antibiotics or other treatment).
3. Gastrointestinal diseases that may interfere with oral ingestion of the study drug or may affect absorption of the study drug.
4. Psychiatric disease or symptoms that may interfere with the patient's continuous participation in the study.

5. Patients should be tested for SARS-CoV-2 and those with active infection detected using either molecular or antigen tests in accordance with local testing guidelines will be excluded.

   Prior/Concomitant Therapy:

6. Prior anti cancer therapy, within the applicable periods shown below, before the start of the protocol treatment:

   • Systemic drug therapies: within 3 weeks
   • Surgery: within 3 weeks
   • Radiation therapy: within 12 weeks
   • Investigational agents: within 5 half-lives for other investigational agents

7. Patients taking substrates of cytochrome CYP2C8, CYP2C9, and CYP3A4 with narrow therapeutic window, should be excluded unless they can be transferred to other medications prior to enrolling. Patients taking sensitive CYP 2C8, 2C9 or 3A4 substrate medications may require dosage adjustment unless they can be transferred to other medications within ≥ 5 half-lives prior to dosing.

   Diagnostic Assessments:

8. Advanced arrhythmia of Grade ≥ 2 per NCI CTCAE v5.0, uncontrolled atrial fibrillation (any grade) and corrected QT interval by Fredericia's formula (QTcF) > 470 msec.
9. Evidence of intraspinal dissemination by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).
10. Positive test results for human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) antibody.

11. Positive test results for hepatitis B surface (HBs) antigen and/or hepatitis C virus (HCV) antibody. Patients who have tested positive for hepatitis B core (HBc) antibody and/or HBs antibody, despite negative test results for HBs antigen, may be enrolled only if they have negative finding on quantitative hepatitis B virus (HBV)-DNA assays with anti-HBV treatment is allowing during study period. Patients who are hepatitis C antibody positive will need to have a negative polymerase chain reaction (PCR) result before enrolment; those who are hepatitis C PCR positive will be excluded.

    Other Exclusions:

12. Pregnant or breastfeeding female patient.
13. Known hypersensitivity to the study drug or to any drug with similar chemical structure or to any other excipient present in the pharmaceutical form of the study drug.
