aCohort 1 eligibility included diffuse midline glioma with demonstrated H3K27M mutation.

bCohort 2 included patients with non-brain stem HGG.

cSeveral of these patients had complex diagnoses that could have placed them in more than one cohort; however, after discussion and agreement by the clinical team, the patients were ultimately placed into cohort 5 on a case-by-case basis.

dCohort 5 “other” diagnoses at study entry: NIVO3: isolated spine lesion (n = 1), CNS embryonal tumor, NOS group, WHO grade 4 (n = 1); disseminated oligodendroglial-like leptomeningeal tumor (n = 1); PNET (n = 1); high-grade neuroepithelial tumor (n = 1); NIVO3 + IPI1: PNET (n = 2); CNS embryonal tumor NOS (n = 1); ependymoblastoma (n = 1); cribriform neuroepithelial tumor (n = 1); atypical meningioma WHO grade 2 (n = 1); supratentorial PNET (n = 1); anaplastic astrocytoma grade 3 (n = 1).

eExcluding DIPG and diffuse midline glioma.

fBaseline corticosteroid use is based on corticosteroid use within 5 days prior to first dose date. Patients receiving corticosteroids for tumor-associated intracranial mass effect at the time of screening were required to discontinue or taper use to ≤0.05 mg/kg of dexamethasone daily (or equivalent) at study entry.

gDIPG cohort included in total output. Tissue collection was not required for DIPG cohort.
