Window-of-Opportunity Trial of Ulixertinib for MAPK-Activated Gliomas
M.D. Anderson Cancer Center
Summary
To learn if the study drug, ulixertinib, can cross over the blood-brain barrier in patients with recurrent brain tumors
Description
Primary Objective: 1. Surgical: To evaluate the ability of ulixertinib to penetrate the BBB in patients with recurrent MAPK-activated gliomas (ulixertinib tumor concentration, tumor/plasma ratio) 2. Non-surgical: To assess anti-tumor activity of ulixertinib for patients with recurrent MAPK-activated gliomas (objective response rate (ORR)) Secondary Objectives: 1. To assess anti-tumor activity of ulixertinib for patients with recurrent MAPK-activated gliomas 1. Progression-free-survival (PFS) 2. Overall survival (OS) 3. Disease control rate (DCR) 4. Duration of response (DOR)…

Interventions
- DrugUlixertinib
Surgical: Only adults with recurrent MAPK-activated gliomas will be accrued to the surgical cohort. Patients will receive Ulixertinib by mouth twice a day for two weeks and will undergo tumor resection subsequently on day 14 (+/- 3 working days).
- DrugUlixertinib
Non-Surgical: Patients (12 years and above) with MAPK-activated gliomas will receive Ulixertinib by mouth twice a day continuously on a daily basis for cycles of 28 day.
