Brief summary
The purpose of this study is to determine the safety and efficacy of a PEPIDH1M vaccine in combination with vorasidenib, a dual inhibitor of mutant IDH1 and IDH2 enzymes, in adult patients diagnosed with recurrent IDH1 mutant lower grade gliomas.
Detailed description
This study is designed to assess the safety and efficacy of the PEPIDH1M vaccine in combination with vorasidenib in adult patients recurrent IDH1 mutant lower grade gliomas. Patients will receive vaccination with 0.5 mL of Td (tetanus and diphtheria toxoids adsorbed) intramuscularly (I.M.) into the deltoid muscle to ensure adequate immunity to the tetanus antigen. Patients will then receive vorasidenib 40 mg orally once a day for 28 days. After two cycles of 28-day vorasidenib and at the start of the 3rd cycle of vorasidenib, patients will receive the PEPIDH1M vaccine intradermally (i.d.) to alternating groin regions on the following schedule: vaccine #1, day 1; vaccine #2, day 15. The day before vaccine #1, patients will receive a vaccine site pre-conditioning injection of a single dose of Td toxoid (1 flocculation unit \[Lf\] in a total volume of 0.4 mL saline). This will be administered twelve hours to one day prior to receiving PEPIDH1M vaccine i.d. to the RIGHT groin area. Vaccines #3 and #4 will be given on day 1 and day 15 of cycle 4. Starting on 6th cycle of 28-day vorasidenib, subjects will receive PEPIDH1M vaccine (i.d. to alternating groin regions) every 28 days on day 1 for vaccine #5-#12. Patients will receive up to a total of 14 cycles of vorasidenib. Notably, a safety lead-in will be performed before commencing on the full study to assess the safety of the combination and evaluation for any dose-limiting toxicity (DLT). The most common side effects of peptide vaccines are redness or swelling at the injection site, local changes to the texture of skin (hardening) at the injection site, itching, allergic reactions, and a potentially serious side effect called cytokine release syndrome. The most common side effects of vorasidenib are abnormal liver function tests, QT prolongation, stomach and/or intestinal ulcers, neurologic disturbances, skin peeling, and isocitrate dehydrogenase (IDH) differentiation syndrome. All patients who receive any protocol treatment will be included in either primary or secondary efficacy analyses. Statistical analyses for the primary objective of adverse experience will exclude patients who terminate protocol treatment prematurely (i.e., less than 4 vaccinations) without an unacceptable toxicity.

Inclusion criteria
1. Age ≥ 18 years 2. IDH1R132H expression in primary tumor 3. Clinical and/or radiographic, progressive Grade 2-3 glioma with greater than 2 cm of non-enhancing disease in one plane. 4. 1st recurrence only 5. Signed informed consent 6. For females of child-bearing potential, negative serum pregnancy test at screening 7. Women of childbearing potential and male participants must agree to practice contraception 8. Karnofsky Performance Status (KPS) of ≥ 70 9. Expected survival of ≥ 12 months 10. Recovered from any clinically relevant toxicities associated with any prior surgery for the treatment of glioma unless stabilized under medical management 11. Complete Blood Count (CBC)/differential with adequate bone marrow function as defined below within 2 weeks of enrollment: 1. Absolute neutrophil count (ANC) ≥ 1000 cells/mm3 2. Platelet count ≥ 100,000 cells/mm3 3. Hemoglobin (Hgb) ≥ 10 g/dl (Note: The use of transfusion or other intervention to achieve Hgb ≥ 10 g/dl is acceptable.) 12. Adequate renal function as defined below within 2 weeks of enrollment: 1. Blood urea nitrogen (BUN) ≤ 25 mg/dl 2. Creatinine ≤ 1.7 mg/dl 13. Adequate hepatic function as defined below within 2 weeks of enrollment: 1. Bilirubin ≤ 2.0 mg/dl 2. Alanine transaminase (ALT) ≤ 3 x normal range 3. Aspartate aminotransferase (AST) ≤ 3 x normal range
Exclusion criteria
1. Prior invasive malignancy (except for non-melanomatous skin cancer) unless disease free for ≥ 3 years (e.g., carcinoma in situ of the breast, oral cavity, and cervix are all permissible) 2. Metastases detected below the tentorium or beyond the cranial vault 3. More than 1 cm X 1 cm of enhancing disease on gadolinium contrasted MRI imaging 4. Severe, active co-morbidity, defined as follows: 1. Unstable angina and/or congestive heart failure requiring hospitalization 2. Myocardial infarction within the last 6 months. 3. Known Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome (AIDS) based upon current Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) definition (Note: human immunodeficiency virus \[HIV\] testing is not required for entry into this protocol.

Patients with active gastrointestinal disease, chronic diarrhea, previous gastric resection or lap band dysphagia, short-gut syndrome, gastroparesis, or other condition that limits the ingestion or gastrointestinal absorption of drugs administered orally (Note: Gastroesophageal reflux disease under medical treatment is allowed.) 9. Patient taking any medications that are CYP3A or CYP2C9 substrates with a narrow therapeutic index (Note: Patients should be transferred to other medications before receiving the first dose of study drug.) 10.
