Window of Opportunity Study of DSP-0390 in Gliomas

Study Purpose

This study focuses on determining the pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic effect of DSP-0390 in brain and blood from patients with IDH-mutant WHO grade II or III glioma undergoing tumor resection. Tissue will be collected during surgical resection. Blood will be drawn at various time points throughout the 2 weeks of treatment. The hypothesis is that DSP-0390 will accumulate in brain tumor tissue at pharmacologically relevant concentrations, and that alterations in cholesterol metabolism driven by mutant IDH will increase susceptibility to DSP-0390 and lead to tumor cell death.

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

Healthy volunteers are participants who do not have a disease or condition, or related conditions or symptoms

Study Type

An interventional clinical study is where participants are assigned to receive one or more interventions (or no intervention) so that researchers can evaluate the effects of the interventions on biomedical or health-related outcomes.


An observational clinical study is where participants identified as belonging to study groups are assessed for biomedical or health outcomes.


Searching Both is inclusive of interventional and observational studies.

  • - Patient is known to have dysphagia, short-gut syndrome, gastroparesis, or other condition that may limit the ingestion or gastrointestinal absorption of drugs administered orally.
  • - Patient is known to have active Crohn's or other inflammatory bowel disease.
  • - A history of other malignancy for which all treatment was completed at least 2 years before Day 1 and the patient has no evidence of disease.
Exceptions include non-melanoma skin cancer, cervical carcinoma in situ, and superficial bladder cancer that has been removed or curatively treated.
  • - On active treatment for other, unrelated malignancy or currently receiving any other investigational agents.
  • - A history of allergic reactions attributed to compounds of similar chemical or biologic composition to DSP-0390.
  • - Patient has taken concurrent use of prohibited medications: carbamazepine, phenytoin, phenobarbital, and other strong or moderate CYP3A4 inhibitors or inducers, and strong CYP2D6 inhibitors within 1 week or 5 half-lives (whichever is greater) prior to Day 1 or expects to use them during the study.
Note both oral and IV ondansetron at doses ≤ 8mg q6 hours are permitted.

  • - Pregnant and/or breastfeeding.
Women of childbearing potential must have a negative serum pregnancy test within 7 days prior to the first dose of DSP-0390.

Phase

Phase 1: Studies that emphasize safety and how the drug is metabolized and excreted in humans.

Phase 2: Studies that gather preliminary data on effectiveness (whether the drug works in people who have a certain disease or condition) and additional safety data.
