Full Title
A Phase 1, Safety Lead-In and Randomized, Open-label, Perioperative Study of Vorasidenib in Combination with Pembrolizumab in Subjects with Recurrent or Progressive Enhancing IDH-1 Mutant GliomaPurpose
The purpose of this study is to find the highest dose of vorasidenib that can be given safely in combination with pembrolizumab immunotherapy in people with astrocytoma that came back or continued to grow despite treatment and contains a mutation in the IDH-1 protein.
Vorasidenib blocks mutated IDH-1 proteins in cancer cells and may stop or slow cancer growth. It has been specifically developed for penetrating brain tissue. Pembrolizumab takes the brakes off the immune response, helping immune cells to find and destroy cancer cells. Vorasidenib is taken orally (by mouth) and pembrolizumab is given intravenously (by vein).
