Dordaviprone for the Treatment of Patients with Recurrent or Refractory Meningioma
This phase II trial tests the safety, side effects, and best dose of dordaviprone in treating patients with meningioma that has come back after a period of improvement (recurrent) or has not responded to previous treatment (refractory). Dordaviprone (ONC201) is a type of drug called a dopamine receptor D2 (DRD2) antagonist (substance that stops the action or effect of another substance). Dordaviprone has previously shown that it may slow down how quickly tumors grow and it may help kill tumor cells. Giving dordaviprone may be safe, tolerable and/or effective in treating patients with recurrent or refractory meningioma.

- Female subjects must be surgically sterile or be postmenopausal, or must agree to use effective contraception while on dordaviprone (ONC201) and for at least 90 days after completion of treatment. Male subjects must be surgically sterile or must agree to use effective contraception while on dordaviprone (ONC201) and for at least 90 days after completion of treatment. Drug interaction studies with oral contraceptives have not been performed, so double barrier methods (e.g., condom plus spermicide in combination with a female condom, diaphragm, cervical cap or intrauterine device) of contraception or abstinence should be considered
- Any number of prior medical therapies is allowed but not required
- Multifocal disease is allowed
- Subjects with history of neurofibromatosis may have other stable central nervous system (CNS) tumors (schwannoma, acoustic neuroma or ependymoma) if lesions have been stable for 6 months
- ARM II: Progression by Macdonald criteria: increase in size of the measurable primary lesion on imaging by 25% or more (bidirectional area). Progressive disease must based on scans done within 12 months or fewer of each other
- ARM II: Subject must have no reasonable surgical or radiation therapy options, determined by neurosurgery and radiation oncology opinions
- ARM II: If prior radiation therapy, evidence of progressive disease at least 24 weeks after completion of radiation (external beam, interstitial brachytherapy, or radiosurgery)
- ARM II: Subject who elected to have partial tumor resection after confirmed progressive disease may still be considered, but radiographic measurable residual tumor(s) are required at baseline
- ARM II: Stable or decreasing steroid dose for two weeks prior to enrollment
- ARM II: Archival tissue is preferred but not mandatory for correlative studies-a minimum of ten slides needed, with up to 20 slides requested
Exclusion Criteria
- Participation in another clinical study with an investigational product during the last 28 days
- Active chemotherapy, including other investigational agents within 28 days of study treatment
- Craniotomy or other major surgery within 28 days of registration
- Evidence of metastatic meningiomas (as defined by extracranial meningiomas)
- Known active bacterial, fungal or viral infection including hepatitis B (HBV), hepatitis C (HCV)
- Known human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) or acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS)-related illness
- Any of the following in the previous 6 months: myocardial infarction, severe/unstable angina, coronary/peripheral artery bypass graft, symptomatic congestive heart failure, or cerebrovascular accident. Subjects planning to continue on study after progression with the addition of bevacizumab cannot have uncontrolled hypertension, nephrotic syndrome, or had a history of intracranial bleeding or gastrointestinal (GI) hemorrhage in the last 6 months
- Other severe acute or chronic medical or psychiatric condition or laboratory abnormality that may increase the risk associated with study participation or study drug administration, or may interfere with the interpretation of study results, or in the judgment of the investigator would make the subject inappropriate for entry into the study
- Concomitant treatment with strong inhibitors of cytochrome P450, family 3, subfamily A, polypeptide 4 (CYP3A4) inhibitors or inducers. Subject must discontinue the drug for 14 days prior to registration
- Prolongation of QT/QT corrected by the Fridericia formula (QTcF) interval (corrected QT interval [QTc] interval > 480 milliseconds) using Frederica’s QT correction formula on two electrocardiograms (ECGs) separated by at least 48 hours
- A history of Torsades de pointes or heart failure, hypokalemia, or family history of prolonged QT Syndrome
- Concomitant use of medication(s) known to prolong the QT/QTc interval

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:
I. To evaluate dordaviprone (ONC201) concentration in resected meningioma tissue in subjects undergoing planned surgical resection. (Arm I)
II. To measure progression-free survival using dordaviprone (ONC201) in subjects with meningioma who have exhausted all reasonable surgical and radiation therapies. (Arm II)
SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:
I. To determine tumor response to dordaviprone (ONC201) on imaging. (Arm II)
II. To perform molecular studies on archival or fresh tissue to correlate DRD2 expression with response. (Arm II)
III. To determine overall survival. (Arm II)
IV. To correlate molecular profiling including SMO, AKT and NF2 with response to dordaviprone (ONC201). (Arm II)
V. To evaluate dordaviprone (ONC201) tumor: plasma concentration ratio in subjects undergoing planned surgical resection. (Arm I)
VI. To evaluate the toxicity of dordaviprone (ONC201) in subjects with recurrent or refractory meningioma.
EXPLORATORY OBJECTIVES:
I. To evaluate, identify and quantify dordaviprone (ONC201) metabolites. (Arm II)
II. To bank blood to later be able to correlate biomarkers (DRD2, DRD5, ClpP, Myc, and EGFR) with response to therapy if initial survival is promising, defined as progression-free survival at 6 months (PFS-6) in the group of 30% or more. (Arm II)
III. To bank blood to later be able to measure the pharmacodynamic prolactin and immune markers such as this following: IL-2, IL-4, IL-10, IL-17A, TNF-alpha, IFN- gamma, sFasL, sFas, Granzyme A/B, perforin, granulysin if initial survival is promising. (Arm II)
OUTLINE: Patients are assigned to 1 of 2 arms.
ARM I: Patients with plan to undergo surgery receive dordaviprone orally (PO) once a week (QW) for 2 weeks prior to surgery. Patients also undergo magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) or computed tomography (CT) during screening and post-surgery, and blood and tissue sample collection at time of surgery.
ARM II: Patients without plan to undergo surgery or radiation therapy receive dordaviprone PO QW. Cycles repeat every 28 days for 12 months in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Patients also undergo MRI or CT throughout the study and as clinically indicated and blood sample collection throughout the study. At progression, patients may optionally receive standard of care (SOC) bevacizumab intravenously (IV) once every two weeks (Q2W) and dordaviprone PO QW or come off study.
After completion of study treatment, patients are followed every 4 months for up to 2 years.
