About this trial
This is a Phase II study of the combination of All-Trans Retinonic Acid (ATRA) and PD-1 inhibition (Retifanlimab) in patient with recurrent IDH-mutant glioma. The Sponsor-Investigator hypothesizes that the proposed regimen will be safe and stimulate a robust anti-tumor immune response.
Eligibility criteria
Qualifiers
Prior histopathologically proven diagnosis of astrocytoma (grade 2-4) or oligodendroglioma (grade 2-3) according to the World Health Organization (WHO) 2021 Classification System that is progressive or recurrent following at least one prior alkylating chemotherapy regimen (i.e., temozolomide and/or lomustine), +/- radiation therapy
Patient's tumor must have a known mutation in IDH1 or IDH2. IDH1/2 mutation status must be confirmed by DNA sequencing and could have been performed in any CLIA/CAP-certified laboratory. IDH1/2 mutational testing could have been performed on patient's tumor either at initial diagnosis or on a subsequent recurrent tumor.
All Safety Run-In and Phase 2 patients: patients with any contrast-enhancing tumor must have measurable disease per RANO criteria (defined by at least 1cmx1cm of contrast-enhancing tumor). Patients with exclusively non-enhancing tumors must have least a 25% increase in bi-dimensional product of FLAIR signal abnormality (measurable disease) compared to the patient's best MRI scan (smallest bi-dimensional product of FLAIR signal abnormality) obtained following completion of the patient's most recent line of therapy
Safety Run-In: Must have failed temozolomide OR another alkylator (e.g. lomustine, procarbazine, carmustine). May have failed an unlimited number of prior systemic regimens, +/- prior radiotherapy.
Disqualifiers
Contrast-enhancing tumor in brainstem or spinal cord (subjects do not need spinal MRI for screening, but known spinal cord tumor is exclusionary)
Diffuse leptomeningeal disease
Patients who have received bevacizumab within the last 3 months are ineligible
Patients with clinically significant mass effect or midline shift (e.g., 1-2 cm of midline shift)
