Who can take part
AI summary
From the trial's eligibility criteria. Machine-read from the registry text on this page, so it can be wrong. The registry text below and the trial team decide who can take part.
The trial is looking for adults with meningioma (a tumour of the brain's covering) that came back or grew after standard treatment. Everyone gets zanzalintinib once a day.
- Age
- 18 Years and older
- Sex
- All
- Disease stage
- WHO grade 1, 2, or 3 meningioma, confirmed by lab tests, that has come back or is growing. Growth must show on scans: more than 15% in the last 6 months, or new tumours. The tumour must be measurable. Karnofsky performance status (KPS) must be 60% or higher.
- Earlier treatment
- Disease came back or grew after standard therapy such as surgery and/or radiation, or the person could not have these. At least 1 earlier course of radiotherapy for the meningioma is needed, unless it was not possible. At least 24 weeks must pass after radiation or radiosurgery. No anticancer drug therapy within 4 weeks or 5 half-lives, whichever is shorter. There is no limit on how many drug therapies were had before.
Main reasons for not taking part
- Past hypertensive encephalopathy (brain damage from very high blood pressure), or uncontrolled high blood pressure
- Tumours outside the skull growing into major blood vessels
- Unable to have an MRI scan, or the doctor thinks surgery or radiation is needed now
- Serious uncontrolled illness, including bleeding or bowel problems with a high risk of tears
- On dialysis, or past solid organ or donor stem cell transplant

Who can take part
- Histologically confirmed World Health Organization (WHO) grade 1, 2, or 3 meningioma
- Developed recurrent disease or progressive disease (PD) after receiving standard therapy (for example, surgery and/or radiation) or have been deemed ineligible to receive these therapies. At least 1 prior course of meningioma-directed radiotherapy is required, if not contraindicated
- Radiologically documented progression of any existing tumor (growth > 15% of the bidimensional enhancing tumor within the prior 6 months or appearance of new lesions (including intra and extracranial manifestations)
- For participants treated with external beam radiation, interstitial brachytherapy, or radiosurgery, an interval ≥ 24 weeks must have elapsed from completion of therapy to initiation of treatment
- Measurable disease by RANO meningioma criteria as determined by the investigator, obtained ≤ 14 days prior to initiation of treatment
- Karnofsky performance status (KPS) ≥ 60%
- Demonstrate adequate organ and marrow function within 14 days of treatment initiation
Who cannot take part
- Prior history of hypertensive encephalopathy at any time
- Local therapy (surgery and/or radiation therapy) is indicated per investigator
- Receipt of any type of cytotoxic, biologic or other systemic anticancer therapy (including investigational) within 4 weeks or 5 half-lives, whichever is shorter, before initiation of treatment. There is no limit on prior systemic therapies
- Prior Surgery - completed wound healing must occur prior to initiation of treatment; ≥ 8 weeks for major surgery, ≥ 7 days for minor surgery, including stereotactic biopsies
- The participant has uncontrolled, significant intercurrent or recent illness including, but not limited to, the following conditions:; Cardiovascular disorders, including uncontrolled hypertension,; Gastrointestinal (GI) disorders including those associated with a high risk of perforation or fistula formation,; Clinically significant hematuria, hematemesis, or hemoptysis of > 0.5 teaspoon (2.5 milliliters [mL]) of red blood within 12 weeks before initiation of treatment or other history of significant bleeding (eg, intracranial hemorrhage/bleeding), or; Other clinically significant disorders
- History of solid organ or allogeneic stem cell transplant; Note: Other protocol defined Inclusion/Exclusion criteria may apply
- Extracranial lesions invading major blood vessels including, but not limited to, inferior vena cava, pulmonary artery, or aorta
- Contraindication to magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)
- Requirement for hemodialysis or peritoneal dialysis
