Promising brain tumor drug trial pulled before it started

NCT ID NCT06012929

First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This study planned to test an oral drug called ONC201 (dordaviprone) in people with a type of brain tumor called meningioma that had come back or was not responding to other treatments. One group would have taken the drug before surgery to see how much reached the tumor, and another group would have taken it to see if it slowed tumor growth. However, the trial was withdrawn before any patients were enrolled, so no data was collected.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance

ONC201 (dordaviprone), an oral medication taken once per week

What this could lead to

If it had worked, this could point toward a new treatment option for people with meningioma that has come back or is hard to treat.

What could go wrong

This trial was withdrawn before enrolling any participants, so no results are available. The study was very small and early-stage, so even if it had run, success was uncertain.
