A Phase 1 interventional study of ASTX727 in Neurological Cancer, sponsored by Massachusetts General Hospital. Recruiting at 3 sites in United States. Open to participants aged 18 Years and older. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2026-07-24.
Sponsored by Massachusetts General Hospital · Phase 1, Interventional, and Treatment
this research study is evaluating the highest dose of ASTX727 that can be administered safely to recurrent/progressive non-enhancing IDH mutant gliomas patients.
This research study is a Phase I clinical trial, which tests the safety of an investigational drug and also tries to define the appropriate dose of the investigational drug to use for further studies. "Investigational" means that the drug is being studied.
The FDA (the U.S. Food and Drug Administration) has not approved ASTX727 as a treatment for any disease.
ASTX727 is made up of the 2 study drugs cedazuridine and decitabine. Cedazuridine is believed to work by slowing down how fast decitabine is broken down by the body. Decitabine is believed to work by blocking abnormal cells or cancer cells from growing.
673 studies on the registry are indexed under Central Nervous System Neoplasms; 68 are open to participants now.
This study's planned enrollment of 18 is below the median of 35 across 464 interventional studies indexed under Central Nervous System Neoplasms.

Maximum tolerated dose
Participants will be enrolled at escalating doses using a standard 3+3 dose escalation design until the maximum administered dose is reached or until dose limiting toxicities result in the end of dose escalation. The maximum tolerated dose is the highest administered dose level at which participants experienced experienced 1 or fewer dose limiting toxicities.
Time frame: 1 year
Median Progression Free Survival
Progression-Free Survival (PFS) is defined as the time from randomization (or registration) to the earlier of progression or death due to any cause. Participants alive without disease progression are censored at date of last disease evaluation. Disease progression will be assessed using the Response Assessment in Neuro-Oncology (RANO) Working Group updated response assessment criteria for low-grade Gliomas.
Time frame: From the time of randomization until disease progression or death, up to five years
Overall Survival
Overall Survival (OS) is defined as the time from randomization (or registration) to death due to any cause, or censored at date last known alive.
Time frame: From the time of randomization until death, up to five years
Response Rate
The number of participants achieving a complete or partial tumor response as assessed using the the Response Assessment in Neuro-Oncology (RANO) Working Group updated response assessment criteria for low-grade Gliomas.
Time frame: 1 Year
