SIGMA (Safusidenib in IDH1 Mutant Glioma Maintenance)

This is a 3-part study. The purpose of Part 1 of the study is to evaluate the efficacy, safety, and pharmacokinetic (PK) characteristics of safusidenib in participants with recurrent/progressive IDH1-mutant World Health Organization (WHO) Grade 2 or Grade 3 glioma. The purpose of Part 2 will be to evaluate the efficacy of maintenance safusidenib treatment versus placebo in IDH1-mutant Grade 2 or Grade 3 astrocytoma with high-risk features or IDH1-mutant Grade 4 astrocytoma, following standard-of-care radiation or chemoradiation and adjuvant temozolomide. Part 2 will be randomized, double-blind, and placebo-controlled. The purpose of Part 3 will be to evaluate the efficacy of safusidenib in participants with residual or recurrent IDH1-mutant Grade 3 oligodendroglioma who have received surgery as their only treatment. Part 3 will be an open-label single-arm cohort and will enroll participants concurrently with Part 2.

Testing the Addition of an Anti-Cancer Drug, Triapine, to the Usual Radiation Therapy for Recurrent Glioblastoma or Astrocytoma

This phase I trial tests the safety, side effects, and best dose of triapine in combination with radiation therapy in treating patients with glioblastoma or astrocytoma that has come back after a period of improvement (recurrent). Triapine may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Radiation therapy uses high energy x-rays, particles, or radioactive seeds to kill cancer cells and shrink tumors. Giving triapine in combination with radiation therapy may be safe, tolerable, and/or effective in treating patients with recurrent glioblastoma or astrocytoma.

GliomaAI-Astro23: MRI-Based Detection of IDH Mutant Astrocytoma (Grade 2 and 3)

The goal of this observational study is to learn whether an artificial intelligence system called GliomaAI-Astro23 can help detect a specific molecular type of brain tumour called IDH mutant Astrocytoma (grade 2 and 3) using routine MRI scans. The study uses previously collected and fully anonymised MRI data from 1,372 patients from 13 institutions in the Cancer Imaging Archive (TCIA). The main questions it aims to answer are: * How accurately can GliomaAI-Astro23 identify IDH mutant Astrocytoma (grade 2 and 3) from MRI scans? * How well does the system perform across data from different hospitals and patient groups? Researchers will use existing MRI scans and clinical information to train and test the AI system. No new scans, treatments, or hospital visits are required for participants, and all data used is fully anonymised and obtained from an existing research database. Participants will not be asked to do anything, as this study only uses previously collected imaging data.

Telaglenastat With Radiation Therapy and Temozolomide in Treating Patients With IDH-Mutated Diffuse Astrocytoma or Anaplastic Astrocytoma

This phase 1b trial studies the side effects and best dose of telaglenastat in combination with radiation therapy and temozolomide in treating patients with IDH-mutated diffuse or anaplastic astrocytoma. Telaglenastat may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Radiation therapy uses high energy x-rays to kill tumor cells and shrink tumors. Chemotherapy drugs, such as temozolomide, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. Giving telaglenastat with radiation therapy and temozolomide may work better than surgery, radiation therapy, and temozolomide in treating patients with IDH-mutated diffuse astrocytoma or anaplastic astrocytoma.
