New hope for brain tumor patients: drug trial targets recurrent meningioma
NCT ID NCT07428616
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Sep 09, 2026 · Updated 6 times
Summary
This phase 2 trial tests a drug called zanzalintinib in 100 people with meningioma that has returned or worsened after standard treatments like surgery or radiation. The goal is to see if the drug can shrink tumors or slow the disease. Participants take the drug by mouth, and researchers will monitor tumor response and safety.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- zanzalintinib (a drug taken by mouth that targets tumor growth)
- What this could lead to
- If it works, this could offer a new treatment option for people with meningioma that has come back or worsened after standard therapies.
- What could go wrong
- This is a mid-stage trial with only 100 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. The drug may not shrink tumors or improve survival, and side effects are possible.

Key Inclusion Criteria: * 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 Key Exclusion Criteria: * Prior history of hypertensive encephalopathy at any time. * Extracranial lesions invading major blood vessels including, but not limited to, inferior vena cava, pulmonary artery, or aorta. * Contraindication to magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). * 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. * Requirement for hemodialysis or peritoneal dialysis. * History of solid organ or allogeneic stem cell transplant. Note: Other protocol defined Inclusion/Exclusion criteria may apply.
