Clinical Trial Summary

This is a Phase 2, multicenter, open label, two parts, clinical study to evaluate the efficacy, safety, and PK of safusidenib. Patients with recurrent or progressive histologically confirmed IDH1 mutant WHO Grade 2/3 glioma10 outside Japan, will be enrolled in this study. It was divided into 2 parts.

Part 1: Up to 25 patients will be randomized 1:1:1:1:1 (5 patients per group) to receive one of the daily oral doses of safusidenib at 125 mg twice a day (BID), 250 mg BID, 500 mg once daily (QD), 375 mg BID, or 500 mg BID. The PK characteristics and safety and initial efficacy data will be assessed in Part 1.

Part 2: It is planned to open 2 glioma subtype cohorts: Grade 2 and Grade 3 glioma cohorts with 30 eligible patients enrolled in each cohort. Total 60 patients will be enrolled.

Part 2 is to evaluate the efficacy of safusidenib in the treatment of recurrent/progressive WHO CNS Grade 2 and grade 3 IDH1 mutant glioma.

Exploratory Surgery Cohort: This cohort will be conducted in parallel with Part 2, for explorative purpose once RP2D is decided. 5 patients with primarily enhancing lesions and other 5 with primarily non-enhancing lesions will be enrolled. Participants will receive oral safusidenib treatment continuously, with 28 days as a cycle, until disease progression, unacceptable toxicity, consent withdrawal, start of new anti-cancer therapy, investigator decision or death, upon whichever earlier.

Besides baseline, the anti-tumor response will be evaluated every 8 weeks following RANO or RANO-LGG criteria as applicable, until disease progression, consent withdrawal or death, upon whichever earlier.

• Hemoglobin: = 9.0 g/dL

• Creatinine clearance (Cockcroft-Gault Formula) = 60 mL/min An out-of-range laboratory test will be repeated up to 2 times before declaring a screen failure, and after expiration of screening window, patients will be re-screened.

11. Recovery to Grade 1 or baseline from any toxicities due to prior therapies (except conditions such as alopecia, temozolomide-induced lymphopenia and irreversible changes associated with radiation therapy).

Acceptable highly effective methods of contraception include:

• Combined estrogen-progestin oral hormonal contraception associated with consistent inhibition of ovulation

• Desogestrel-based progestin-only contraception associated with consistent inhibition of ovulation; this includes oral, injectable, and implantable methods

Male patients should agree to use a condom when sexually active with a female partner of childbearing potential from Screening until at least 90 days after the last dose of safusidenib (or be surgically sterile [e.g., vasectomy with documentation]; or remain abstinent [when this is in line with the preferred and usual lifestyle]). Male patients should also agree to not donate sperm for the duration of the study and until at least 90 days after the last dose of safusidenib.

Patients who have tested positive for hepatitis B core (HBc) antibody and/or HBs antibody, despite negative test results for HBs antigen, may be enrolled only if they have negative finding on quantitative hepatitis B virus (HBV) DNA assays and the Anti-HBV treatment is allowing during study period.
