Condition or disease | Intervention/treatment | Phase |
---|---|---|
Glioma | Procedure: Biopsy Drug: Part A: AB-218 Procedure: Surgery (maximal resection) Drug: Part B: AB-218 | Early Phase 1 |
This is a single arm, open label Phase 0 trial to assess the feasibility, pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of treatment with AB-218 following biopsy and prior to resection in patients with IDH1 mutated glioma.
Participants will receive treatment in 2 parts:
Part A: Biopsy followed by 1 cycle (28 days) of AB-218, an orally available, small molecular inhibitor of mutated IDH1, then safe maximal resection of the tumour.
Part B: Following recovery from surgery, patients will receive up to 12 cycles of AB-218.
It is expected that 10 patients will take part in this study.
It is anticipated this research study will enable investigators to objectively measure the biological activity of AB-218 in patients with IDH1 mutated LGG.
Anti-tumour activity will be assessed by RANO response criteria.
The investigators have previous experience in pre-treating patients with GBM prior to surgery with systemic therapies and collecting tumour, peri-tumour and normal brain tissues for PK, PD and biomarker evaluation

Patients will undergo stereotactic biopsy by craniotomy or burr hole. Drug: Part A: AB-218 Part A: AB-218 orally 250 mg BID for 28 days. Procedure: Surgery (maximal resection) Surgery: Maximal safe resection, within 24 hours of last dose of AB-218.
