ONC206 demonstrates potent anti-tumorigenic activity and is a potential novel therapeutic strategy for high-risk medulloblastoma. (PubMed, bioRxiv)
Dordaviprone (ONC201) and its chemical derivative with nanomolar potency, ONC206, induce apoptosis of cancer cells by activation of the mitochondrial caseinolytic protease P (ClpP). We also saw that ONC206 very significantly prolonged survival of medulloblastoma-bearing mice, both in genetically engineered mouse models and patient-derived xenografts. Our study provides a strong rationale for testing the efficacy of ONC206 in the treatment of patients with medulloblastoma and has set the stage for a clinical trial with this agent in pediatric patients with recurrent malignant brain tumors, including medulloblastoma ( NCT04732065 ).

Integration and Intersection of Cancer Metabolism with Epigenetic Pathways in Gliomas. (PubMed, Annu Rev Pathol)
Inhibiting IDH mutations with vorasidenib lowers D-2HG and is beneficial to patients. Other drugs like ONC201 and metformin can metabolically suppress oncogenic chromatin states in pediatric gliomas. This dynamic cross talk between metabolism and epigenetics not only underpins tumor biology but also presents opportunities for innovative therapeutic strategies.

Preclinical efficacy of combinatorial B7-H3 CAR T cells and ONC206 against diffuse intrinsic pontine glioma. (PubMed, bioRxiv)
This work offers a biologically-informed, clinically translatable strategy integrating small molecule therapeutics with CAR T cell therapy and support the development of multi-agent immunotherapy trials for children with DIPG and other high-grade brain and spinal cord tumors. B7-H3 CAR T cells are cytotoxic against preclinical DMG models.ONC206 causes metabolic apoptosis in preclinical DMG models.B7-H3 CAR T cells and ONC206 have combinatorial efficacy against DMG.

Effect of Severe Renal Impairment on Dordaviprone (ONC201) Pharmacokinetics. (PubMed, Drugs R D)
Despite its minimal renal clearance, dordaviprone geometric mean AUC was increased by ~50% in severe RI participants, suggesting CYP3A4 activity may have been suppressed in these participants. The results of this study will be used to inform dordaviprone dosing in patients with RI.

ONC201 enhances the cytotoxic effect of cisplatin through ATF3/ATF4/CHOP in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma cells. (PubMed, Oncogenesis)
The ability of ONC201 to overcome cisplatin resistance and its synergistic antitumor effects highlight its promise as a candidate for combination therapy. These findings support the translational potential of targeting the ATF3/ATF4/CHOP axis to improve outcomes in patients with cisplatin resistant HNSCC.
