Combination Therapy for the Treatment of Diffuse Midline Gliomas
NCT05009992 · View on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
Study Summary
This phase II trial determines if the combination of ONC201 with different drugs is effective for treating participants with diffuse midline gliomas (DMGs). Despite years of research, little to no progress has been made to improve outcomes for participants with DMGs, and there are few treatment options. This trial will utilize an adaptive platform design in that the different treatment arms for each cohort will be opened and closed based on ongoing preclinical investigation as well as evolving outcome data from the trial. Novel agents will be continuously added to this study as pre-clinical data emerge to suggest additive or synergistic activity when combined ONC201. Should a novel agent not have an RP2D at the time of incorporation into this study, a phase 1 lead-in will be performed prior to initiation of combination therapy (via study amendment).

Full Details on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗What the Registry Record Tells You About NCT05009992
The ClinicalTrials.gov registry entry for NCT05009992 describes a study currently listed as recruiting. It is categorized as Phase 2, which is the standard way researchers label where a study sits along the investigational pathway from early safety work through later efficacy and post-marketing evaluation. The registered enrollment target is 360 participants, a figure that helps gauge the scale of data the investigators plan to collect. The listed sponsor is University of California, San Francis, which has 1,574 total studies on file at ClinicalTrials.gov, and sponsors are the parties responsible for study design, oversight, and regulatory filings.
The record links to 6 conditions, with Diffuse Intrinsic Pontine Glioma appearing as the primary indexed condition, and to 4 interventions — of which Radiation Therapy is the first listed. Interventions can include drugs, devices, procedures, behavioral programs, or observational arms, and each is tracked as a separate registry field so that downstream queries can filter accurately. When a trial lists multiple interventions, it usually reflects a multi-arm design or a comparison protocol rather than a single treatment being tested in isolation. The brief summary published in the registry is the clearest source of protocol intent and should be read before drawing conclusions from any sidebar tags.
Geographic footprint matters for practical reasons: NCT05009992 reports 20 study locations spanning 18 distinct geographic areas — top geographies include California, Alabama, District of Columbia. A larger site network tends to correlate with broader recruitment capacity, but it does not imply anything about study quality, and site-level enrollment status can diverge from the overall registry status shown above. Every data point on this page comes from the public ClinicalTrials.gov dataset and is reproduced here for reference only; it is not a medical recommendation, an endorsement of the sponsor, or an invitation to enroll.
