Dun Type: Oral Abstract Session: CNS Rare Tumor Abstracts – Session II Date: Sunday, November 23, 11:34-11:39 a.m. HST Number: DDDR-38 About H3 K27M-Mutant Diffuse Midline Glioma H3 K27M-mutant diffuse midline glioma is a rare and highly aggressive brain tumor that primarily affects the midline structures of the brain and spinal cord.1,2 It is characterized by a specific genetic mutation (H3 K27M) that disrupts epigenetic regulation and drives tumor growth.4 Most commonly diagnosed in children and young adults, patients with this type of glioma often face an extremely poor prognosis, with limited therapeutic options and very low survival rates following recurrence.3 Median survival is approximately one year from diagnosis and 5.1 months after progressing following frontline therapy.7 About Modeyso™ (dordaviprone)Modeyso (dordaviprone) (formerly known as ONC201) is approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for the treatment of H3 K27M-mutant diffuse midline glioma in adult and pediatric patients one year of age and older with progressive disease following prior therapy.4 Modeyso is an oral small molecule administered once weekly. Modeyso is a mitochondrial caseinolytic protease P (ClpP) agonist and also inhibits the dopamine-2 (D2) receptor. In vitro, dordaviprone activated the integrated stress response, induced apoptosis, and altered mitochondrial metabolism, leading to restored histone H3 K27 trimethylation in H3 K27M-mutant diffuse glioma.4 Modeyso received accelerated approval in August 2025 based on a pre-specified integrated efficacy analysis of 50 adult and pediatric patients with recurrent H3 K27M-mutant diffuse midline glioma enrolled across five open-label clinical studies (ONC006, ONC013, ONC014, ONC016, and ONC018). Continued approval may be contingent upon verification and description of clinical benefit, including in the ongoing Phase 3 ACTION trial (NCT05580562), which is evaluating the safety and clinical benefit of dordaviprone 5 in newly diagnosed patients with H3 K27M-mutant diffuse glioma following radiotherapy. Modeyso was developed by Chimerix prior to its acquisition by Jazz Pharmaceuticals in April 2025. Modeyso (dordaviprone) is only approved in the United States. IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS HypersensitivityMODEYSO can cause severe hypersensitivity reactions. In the pooled safety population, Grade 3 hypersensitivity reactions occurred in 0.3% of patients receiving MODEYSO. Signs and symptoms of hypersensitivity may include rash, hives, fever, low blood pressure, wheezing, or swelling of the face or throat. Inform patients about the signs and symptoms of hypersensitivity reactions and instruct them to seek immediate medical attention if symptoms occur. If clinically significant hypersensitivity or anaphylaxis occur, immediately interrupt MODEYSO and initiate appropriate medical treatment and supportive care. Based on the severity of the adverse reaction, temporarily interrupt or permanently discontinue MODEYSO. QTc Interval ProlongationMODEYSO causes concentration-dependent QTc interval prolongation, which can increase the risk for ventricular tachyarrhythmias (e.g. torsades de pointes) or sudden death. In patients who received MODEYSO and underwent at least one post baseline ECG, QTcF increase of >60 msec compared to baseline and QTcF >500 msec occurred in 6% and 1.2% of patients, respectively. Monitor ECGs and electrolytes prior to initiation and periodically during treatment, as clinically indicated. Increase the frequency of monitoring in patients with congenital long QT syndrome, existing QTc prolongation, a history of ventricular arrhythmias, electrolyte abnormalities, heart failure, or who are taking strong or moderate CYP3A4 inhibitors. Avoid concomitant use with other agents known to prolong the QT interval. If concomitant use cannot be avoided, increase the frequency of monitoring and separate administration of MODEYSO and QT-prolonging product. Interrupt or reduce the dose of MODEYSO in patients who develop QT prolongation; permanently discontinue in patients with signs of life-threatening arrhythmias. Embryo-Fetal Toxicity MODEYSO can cause fetal harm when administered to a pregnant woman. Advise pregnant women and females of reproductive potential of the potential risk to a fetus. Advise females of reproductive potential to use effective contraception during treatment with MODEYSO and for 1 month after the last dose. Advise male patients with female partners of reproductive potential to use effective contraception during treatment with MODEYSO and for 1 month after the last dose. ADVERSE REACTIONS Serious adverse reactions occurred in 33% of the 376 patients who received MODEYSO. Serious adverse reactions in >2% of patients included hydrocephalus (5%), vomiting (4.3%), headache (3.2%), seizure (2.4%), and muscular weakness (2.1%). Fatal adverse reactions occurred in 1% of patients who received MODEYSO, including cardiac arrest (0.5%), intracranial hemorrhage (0.3%), and encephalopathy (0.3%). The most common adverse reactions (≥20%) reported in clinical trials with MODEYSO were fatigue (34%), headache (32%), vomiting (24%), nausea (24%), and musculoskeletal pain (20%). The most common (≥2%) Grade 3 or 4 laboratory abnormalities were decreased lymphocytes (7%), decreased calcium (2.7%), and increased alanine aminotransferase (2.4%). DRUG INTERACTIONS Strong and Moderate CYP3A4 Inhibitors Avoid concomitant use of MODEYSO with strong and moderate CYP3A4 inhibitors. If concomitant use cannot be avoided, reduce the MODEYSO dose as recommended and monitor for toxicity. Strong and Moderate CYP3A4 Inducers Avoid concomitant use of strong and moderate CYP3A4 inducers with MODEYSO. USE IN SPECIFIC POPULATIONS LactationThere are no data on the presence of MODEYSO in human milk because of the potential for serious adverse reactions from MODEYSO in breastfed children, advise women not to breastfeed during treatment with MODEYSO and for 1 week after the last dose. Pediatric UseThe safety and effectiveness of MODEYSO have not been established in patients less than 1 year of age. Dosing has not been established for patients weighing less than 22 pounds (10 kg).
