PNOC023

Clinical trial of ONC206 for the treatment of diffuse midline gliomas (DMG) and other progressive or recurrent tumours of the brain and spinal cord

The novel agent ONC206 may be able to inhibit the growth of tumor cells. This international phase 1 study is investigating the effects and the optimal dose of ONC206 alone or in combination with radiotherapy. The study includes patients with a diffuse midline glioma that is newly diagnosed or has grown again or come back (progression/relapse). It also includes patients with other malignant tumors of the central nervous system (brain and spinal cord) that have grown again or come back. In patients scheduled for a tumor biopsy, treatment with ONC206 can be started shortly before the biopsy (target validation). Most of the treatment is given at home. After a screening stay of several days in hospital, study visits take place once a week for about 4 weeks and once a month after that. Depending on the clinical situation, the treatment is given during radiotherapy or only afterwards.
