Outcomes for adult patients with a high-grade glioma continue to be dismal and new treatment paradigms are urgently needed. To optimize the opportunity for discovery, we performed a phase 0/1 dose-escalation clinical trial that investigated tumor pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, and single nucleus transcriptomics following combined ribociclib (CDK4/6 inhibitor) and everolimus (mTOR inhibitor) treatment in recurrent high-grade glioma. Patients with a recurrent high-grade glioma (n = 24) harboring 1) / deletion or / amplification, 2) loss or mutations, and 3) wild-type retinoblastoma protein (Rb) were enrolled.
