Total Duration
Researchers are evaluating the safety and tolerability of oral ONC206 in patients with recurrent, primary central nervous system CNS tumors. This Phase 1, open-label study aims to find the maximum tolerated dose MTD and observe dose-limiting toxicities DLTs in patients who have no standard treatment options left. The trial includes various rare and recurrent CNS neoplasms such as glioblastoma, anaplastic astrocytoma, ependymoma, and medulloblastoma among others. Participants receive ONC206 orally in escalating dose levels following a 33 design over 28-day cycles. Dose adjustments and frequency changes may be made based on safety and pharmacokinetic data. The study includes up to 11 dose levels and approximately 46 patients to determine the MTD. Toxicities are monitored closely during each 28-day treatment cycle, with safety evaluations after each cohort to guide dose escalation decisions. During the study, participants undergo physical exams, vital sign checks, ECGs, blood tests, and adverse event monitoring at every visit. Tumor response is measured using established criteria, and patients provide tumor tissue samples for biomarker analysis. Study staff assess safety, tolerability, and potential toxic effects throughout treatment and for 30 days after the last dose. Total participation duration varies based on dose escalation and individual patient response.

This table compares participation in this trial with other options available for this condition. The information is drawn from published research and the trial’s study details and is provided for educational purposes only.
| Factors | Oral ONC206 (investigational) | Current care options (contextual) |
|---|---|---|
| What it is | An investigational oral small‑molecule drug in the imipridone class targeting G‑protein‑coupled receptors for recurrent primary CNS tumors | Current real‑world care may include supportive care, re‑operation, re‑irradiation or systemic therapies |
| Role in the trial | Single‑group early‑phase (Phase I) treatment arm evaluating ONC206 | Not part of this trial—serves as external comparison context |
| Primary use | Test safety, dose‑limiting toxicities and maximum tolerated dose in recurrent primary CNS neoplasms | Palliative management aimed at controlling symptoms or slowing progression in recurrent CNS tumors |
| How it is given or performed | Oral capsules of ONC206 taken as single‑agent therapy | Depends on chosen approach: surgery, radiation, or systemic drug therapy |
| Evidence status | Early phase I dose‑finding evidence only; clinical efficacy unestablished | Limited and heterogeneous evidence; no consensus on efficacy in recurrent disease |
| Important risks | Safety not yet established; risk profile unknown | Risks depend on the chosen treatment modality (e.g., surgical risk, radiation toxicity, systemic therapy side effects) |
| Important limitations | No internal comparator, small sample, early phase limits evidence strength | Heterogeneous practices; limited high‑quality data to guide choice |
| Patient impact | Unknown; clinical benefit and impact on symptoms or survival are not yet determined | Limited impact; interventions may modestly slow progression or relieve symptoms in selected cases |
