Pivotal Trial
Summary
This trial will test if a new drug can improve survival for people with a specific type of brain tumor who have had radiation therapy.
Who is the study for?
This trial is for patients with a new diagnosis of H3 K27M-mutant diffuse glioma who have finished standard radiotherapy. They must understand the study, weigh at least 10 kg, and have stable health status. Exclusions include recent use of certain drugs like Temozolomide or Bevacizumab, evidence of disease spread beyond the brain, abnormal lab results, pregnancy, or any condition that could affect safety or compliance.
What is being tested?
The ACTION Study tests whether ONC201 can extend survival after radiotherapy in patients with H3 K27M-mutant diffuse glioma. It's a Phase 3 trial where participants are randomly assigned to receive either ONC201 plus placebo or just placebo in a double-blind manner (neither doctors nor patients know who gets the drug).
What are the potential side effects?
While specific side effects for ONC201 aren't listed here, common side effects from cancer treatments may include fatigue, nausea, blood count changes increasing infection risk and potential allergic reactions to medication components.
