Study description
This study is needed to test a drug called vorasidenib in combination with another drug, temozolomide (TMZ), in participants with glioma carrying an isocitrate dehydrogenase-1 (IDH1) or isocitrate dehydrogenase-2 (IDH2) mutation (change in a specific gene). Glioma is a type of cancer that starts in the glial cells in the brain or spinal cord.
In some types of cancers, abnormal forms of the IDH1 or IDH2 proteins are present in the cancer cells due to changes called mutations. When these proteins are present in abnormal forms, they produce too much 2-hydroxyglutarate (2-HG). This impairs normal cell functioning and may cause cells to become cancer cells.
Participants will be treated with a combination of vorasidenib and TMZ. TMZ is an approved medicine for the treatment of glioma. Vorasidenib is a drug that blocks the activity of abnormal IDH1 and IDH2 proteins and thus may reduce 2-HG levels in cancer cells. Vorasidenib is approved in some regions for the treatment of Grade 2 astrocytoma or oligodendroglioma with a susceptible IDH1 or IDH2 mutation.
The main goals of this study are:
- To assess if the combination of vorasidenib and TMZ is safe, tolerable, and effective in participants with glioma carrying an IDH1 or IDH2 mutation.
- To find the dose of vorasidenib and TMZ that is both safe and effective (the recommended dose) for the treatment of patients with glioma.

Eligibility Criteria
Eligible age for the study
Sexes
Male/FemaleAccepts Healthy Volunteers
NoTo take part in the study, participants have to:
- Be at least 12 years old.
- Have glioma with an IDH1 or IDH2 mutation.
- Have normal kidney, liver, and bone marrow (the spongy tissue inside bones that makes blood cells) function.
Participants cannot take part in the study if:
- They have previously received a drug that blocks IDH1 or IDH2.
- They have or have had another type of cancer at the same time as their glioma.
How is the study designed?
This part of the study tests if the combination of vorasidenib with TMZ is safe and well-tolerated and to find the recommended dose of this combination.
Participants receive vorasidenib tablet(s) at a starting dose of 40 mg to be taken by mouth every day of each 28-day cycle.
Participants receive TMZ capsules by mouth once a day at a dose of 150 mg/m² for the first 5 consecutive days of Cycle 1, with no TMZ intake for the remaining 23 days of the cycle. For Cycles 2 to 12, the TMZ dose may increase to 200 mg/m², following the same 5-day regimen. Participants can receive TMZ for up to 12 cycles.
This part of the study tests if the recommended dose found in Phase 1b is safe and effective in a larger group of participants.
Participants receive the recommended dose of vorasidenib in combination with TMZ.
