Oligodendroglioma Understanding
Oligodendroglioma: Overview
Oligodendroglioma (OG) is a type of diffusely infiltrating glioma and constitutes approximately 5% of primary intracranial tumors. Oligodendroglial tumors can be divided into two groups based on the classification of the world health organization (WHO): grade II oligodendroglioma and grade III (anaplastic) oligodendroglioma. Most commonly occurring between 25 and 45 years of age, grade III oligodendrogliomas tend to present 10 years later than grade II tumors and can rarely develop in younger and older populations. Oligodendroglioma is genetically defined as a tumor confirmed to harbor either an IDH1 or IDH2 mutation along with co-deletion of chromosome arms 1p and 19q.OGs are found predominantly in the cerebral hemisphere white matter (80 to 90% supratentorial), most commonly in the frontal lobes, but temporal and parietal lobe involvement is not uncommon. Treatment of OG is multifactorial, consisting of surgical, chemotherapy, and radiation therapy treatment methods.
Surgical treatments are approached on a case-by-case basis. Radiation oncology with radiotherapy (RT) also plays an important role in the treatment of OG, most often after surgical resection. Standard focal or limited field hyperfractionated RT is typically employed. The field consists of the resection bed, area of residual enhancement on T1 post-contrast imaging, and a margin of up to 3 cm, including the adjacent T2/FLAIR hyperintensity that may represent infiltrating disease.
Oligodendroglioma - Pipeline Insight, 2024 report outlays comprehensive insights of present scenario and growth prospects across the indication. A detailed picture of the Oligodendroglioma pipeline landscape is provided which includes the disease overview and Oligodendroglioma treatment guidelines. The assessment part of the report embraces, in depth Oligodendroglioma commercial assessment and clinical assessment of the pipeline products under development. In the report, detailed description of the drug is given which includes mechanism of action of the drug, clinical studies, NDA approvals (if any), and product development activities comprising the technology, Oligodendroglioma collaborations, licensing, mergers and acquisition, funding, designations and other product related details.
Report Highlights
The companies and academics are working to assess challenges and seek opportunities that could influence R&D Oligodendroglioma. The therapies under development are focused on novel approaches to treat/improve Oligodendroglioma.- In July 2021, Oblato announced that it received an agreement from the FDA for its plan to submit an intermediate size expanded access protocol for use of OKN-007 in patients with high-grade gliomas.
- In January 2021, Chimerix acquired Oncoceutics, a privately-held, clinical-stage biotechnology company developing imipridones, a novel class of compounds. Oncoceutics’ lead product candidate, ONC201, in clinical testing to selectively induce cell death in multiple cancer types.
- In October 2018, Oblato acquired all rights from the Oklahoma Medical Research Foundation to OKN-007, an investigational drug for the treatment of glioblastoma, a deadly form of brain cancer.
- EpicentRx in collaboration with the Texas Children's Cancer Center in Houston, imitated the start of a Phase 1 study to examine the safety and benefit of its lead small molecule, RRx-001, plus irinotecan and temozolomide for pediatric patients with recurrent or progressive malignant solid and central nervous system tumors. The study, PIRATE (NCT04525014) was conceived and developed by doctors Holly Lindsay and Patricia Baxter at the Texas Children's Cancer Center and will enroll patients 1 to 21 years of age with recurrent or progressive malignant primary brain or spinal cord tumors and solid tumors, excluding lymphomas.
Oligodendroglioma Emerging Drugs
ONC201: Chimerix ONC201 is an orally administered small molecule dopamine receptor D2 (DRD2) antagonist and caseinolytic protease (ClpP) agonist in late-stage clinical development for recurrent gliomas that harbor the H3 K27M mutation. Recurrent glioma is a form of brain cancer with a particularly poor prognosis having a median overall survival of approximately eight months. Recurrent pediatric patients, with cancer that carries the H3 K27M mutation, have an even worse prognosis with median overall survival of approximately four months. Compelling responses at this stage of disease are rare and lack durability. Patients with this mutation are considered grade IV by the World Health Organization, regardless of underlying histology orage.RRx-001: EpicentRx RRx-001 is a lead small molecule, immunotherapy targeting the CD47 - SIRPa axis and has been evaluated in multiple clinical studies. The genesis for the PIRATE trial was based on several preceding clinical trials which have established potential evidence that RRx-001 increases chemotherapy delivery and uptake in tumors. A Phase 1 clinical trial called G-FORCE (NCT02871843) and a Phase 1/2 clinical trial called BRAINSTORM (NCT02215512) demonstrated the safety of RRx-001 as well as potential evidence of clinical benefit in adult patients with glioblastoma or GBM and with brain metastases,respectively.
