About this trial
The goal of this interventional study is to evaluate the efficacy of APG-157 in combination with Bevacizumab in subjects with recurrent high-grade glioma. The main questions the study aims to answer are:
* Progression-free and overall survival of patients receiving this combination; * Quality of Life (QOL); and * Tumor response on imaging
The participants will take APG-157 daily by dissolving two pastilles in their mouth at around breakfast, lunch and dinner time (total of six pastilles per day). The pastilles dissolve in the mouth.
The participants will continue to receive Bevacizumab as standard of care.
Eligibility criteria
This trial does not accept healthy volunteersQualifiers
Patients must have pathologically proven diagnosis of high grade (aka grade III or IV) glioma that has progressed on bevacizumab (anaplastic astrocytoma, anaplastic oligodendroglioma, glioblastoma, gliosarcoma, H3K27M mutant glioma).
Patients must have received prior radiation therapy and standard temozolomide. Patients who have received any number of therapies for previous progressions will be considered eligible.
Patients must be three or more months from the end of chemoradiotherapy or have biopsy or imaging consistent with disease progression.
Physiologic Status/Age: Patients must be 19 years of age or older (the age of consent in Nebraska.)
Disqualifiers
Any life-threatening illness, medical condition, or organ system dysfunction which, in the investigator's opinion, could compromise the subject's safety, interfere with the absorption or metabolism of oral APG-157, or put the study outcomes at undue risk
Immunotherapy, chemotherapy, radiotherapy, or experimental therapy within one full cycle period before first dose of study drug (i.e., for lomustine 6 weeks, for temozolomide 4 weeks)
Lactating or pregnant
History of uncontrollable allergic reactions to bevacizumab

Treatment groups
Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes
Progression-free Survival
To evaluate progression-free survival of participants with recurrent high-grade glioma treated with APG-157 and Bevacizumab. Progression of the disease will be assessed using commonly used imaging modality such as Magnetic Resonance Imaging or CT scan.
Overall Survival
To evaluate overall survival of participants with recurrent high-grade glioma treated with APG-157 and Bevacizumab
Secondary outcomes
QOL assessment (EORTC QLQ-C30)
Descriptively examine quality of life (QOL) using EORTC QLQ-C30 (Organization for Research and Treatment in Cancer Quality of Life Questionnaire C30). EORTC QLQ-C30 is a standardized questionnaire that rates function, symptoms and health status from patient perspective using various questions on a scale of 1 - 4 where generally 1 is rated as normal or no issue (not at all) and 4 being the maximum adverse impact being experienced (very much).
Radiographic studies MRI or CT of the brain
To measure tumor size in response to treatment
Pharmacokinetics (PK) of APG-157
Measure the amount of APG-157 components in the blood in the presence of bevacizumab
