Abstract

Abstract OBJECTIVE To report single center experience of three adult subjects receiving ONC-201 as part of the ONC018 expanded access clinical trial [NCT03134131]. BACKGROUND ONC-201 is an oral investigational antagonist against the D2 dopamine receptor that has shown encouraging results for malignant gliomas harboring the H3K27M mutation in the H3 histone complex. Responses have been reported in pediatric subjects with such tumors. An expanded access clinical trial (ONC018) was available to eligible patients allowing them access to this agent pending FDA review. Design/ METHODS Our site enrolled three subjects on the ONC018 trial. We present the demographic, clinical, and molecular characteristics for our enrolled subjects. We report the tolerability, adverse events, and outcome measures including survival, Karnofsky Performance Status [KPS] and quality-of-life measured by the MD Anderson symptom inventory instrument [MDASI]. RESULTS Three subjects were registered at our site onto ONC018 with age range 18–44yrs, 2/3 female, residing in Norway, India, and United states. Tumor locations: brainstem, corpus callosum and thalamus. Pathology: Glioblastoma (3/3), MGMT methylated (2/3), IDH1 mutant (0/3), EGFR amplification (0/3) and ATRX (3/3). Median change from baseline KPS: ≤20 % decrease; MDASI:2/3 experienced decrease from baseline [median 6%], consistent with improved quality of life. No clinically significant laboratory abnormalities. All adverse events were grade I–II. CONCLUSIONS We found that the study drug was quite tolerable. No serious adverse events nor radiographic responses were seen. Analyses of the larger study cohort and additional randomized controlled trials are necessary to provide insight into the safety and efficacy.
