The goal of this clinical trial is to see if the combination of valproic acid, irinotecan, and simvastatin causes these tumors to stabilize or shrink, which is a sign that these combinations are effective against tumors in patients with recurrent glioblastoma and adults with recurrent IDH-mutated gliomas
This is a prospective clinical trial in two cohorts of patients, adults with recurrent glioblastoma and adults with recurrent IDH-mutated gliomas. The study evaluates the efficacy of valproic acid, irinotecan, and simvastatin in recurrent glioma by measuring response rate. The study treatment is as follow: Study Treatment * 21-day cycles * D1 VPA 40mg/kg/dose PO BID and simvastatin at 40mg PO daily * D2 VPA 40mg/kg/dose PO BID, simvastatin at 40mg PO daily, and irinotecan 180mg/m2 IV * D3-21 Continuous simvastatin starting at 40mg daily PO

RECRUITINGAssessing Efficacy as Measured By Response Rate Of Valproic acid, Irinotecan, and Simvastatin in Recurrent Glioma
The response is defined as a confirmed complete response (CR) or partial response (PR) defined by RANO 2.0. Response rate will be calculated as the number of observed response (PR or CR) divided by all treated subjects in the arm.
Time frame: through study completion, an average of 6 months from start of treatment
Assessing Safety and Adverse Event Rates Of Valproic Acid, Irinotecan, And Simvastatin in Recurrent Glioma
Adverse events will be reported for all patients who receive at least one dose of study medicine.
Time frame: through end of study, average 9 months from start of treatment
