PURPOSE Ivosidenib is an oral inhibitor of the mutant isocitrate dehydrogenase 1 (IDH1) enzyme, approved for treatment of IDH1-mutant (m IDH1) acute myeloid leukemia (AML). Preclinical work suggested that addition of azacitidine to ivosidenib enhances mIDH1 inhibition–related differentiation and apoptosis. PATIENTS AND METHODS This was an open-label, multicenter, phase Ib trial comprising dose-finding and expansion stages to evaluate safety and efficacy of combining oral ivosidenib 500 mg once daily continuously with subcutaneous azacitidine 75 mg/m2 on days 1-7 in 28-day cycles in patients with newly diagnosed m IDH1 AML ineligible for intensive induction chemotherapy (ClinicalTrials.gov identifier: NCT02677922 ). RESULTS Twenty-three patients received ivosidenib plus azacitidine (median age, 76 years; range, 61-88 years). Treatment-related grade ≥ 3 adverse events occurring in > 10% of patients were neutropenia (22%), anemia (13%), thrombocytopenia (13%), and electrocardiogram QT prolongation (13%). Adverse events of special interest included all-grade IDH differentiation syndrome (17%), all-grade electrocardiogram QT prolongation (26%), and grade ≥ 3 leukocytosis (9%). Median treatment duration was 15.1 months (range, 0.3-32.2 months); 10 patients remained on treatment as of February 19, 2019. The overall response rate was 78.3% (18/23 patients; 95% CI, 56.3% to 92.5%), and the complete remission rate was 60.9% (14/23 patients; 95% CI, 38.5% to 80.3%). With median follow-up of 16 months, median duration of response in responders had not been reached. The 12-month survival estimate was 82.0% (95% CI, 58.8% to 92.8%). m IDH1 clearance in bone marrow mononuclear cells by BEAMing (beads, emulsion, amplification, magnetics) digital polymerase chain reaction was seen in 10/14 patients (71.4%) achieving complete remission. CONCLUSION Ivosidenib plus azacitidine was well tolerated, with an expected safety profile consistent with monotherapy with each agent. Responses were deep and durable, with most complete responders achieving m IDH1 mutation clearance.

Purpose This randomized trial evaluated the efficacy and toxicity of sequential gemtuzumab ozogamicin (GO) and standard chemotherapy in older patients with newly diagnosed acute myeloid leukemia (AML). Patients and Methods Patients (n = 472) age 61 to 75 years were randomly assigned to induction chemotherapy with mitoxantrone, cytarabine, and etoposide preceded, or not, by a course of GO (6 mg/m2 on days 1 and 15). In remission, patients received two consolidation courses with or without GO (3 mg/m2 on day 0). The primary end point was overall survival (OS). Results The overall response rate was comparable between the two arms (GO, 45%; no GO, 49%), but induction and 60-day mortality rates were higher in the GO arm (17% v 12% and 22% v 18%, respectively). With median follow-up of 5.2 years, median OS was 7.1 months in the GO arm and 10 months in the no-GO arm (hazard ratio, 1.20; 95% CI, 0.99 to 1.45; P = .07). Other survival end points were similar in both arms. Grade 3 to 4 hematologic and liver toxicities were greater in the GO arm. Treatment with GO provided no benefit in any prognostic subgroup, with the possible exception of patients age < 70 years with secondary AML, but outcomes were significantly worse in the oldest age subgroup because of a higher risk of early mortality. Conclusion As used in this trial, the sequential combination of GO and standard chemotherapy provides no benefit for older patients with AML and is too toxic for those age ≥ 70 years.

Abstract Midostaurin was a prototype kinase inhibitor, originally developed as a protein kinase C inhibitor and subsequently as an angiogenesis inhibitor, based on its inhibition of vascular endothelial growth factor receptor. Despite promising preclinical data, early clinical trials in multiple diseases showed only modest efficacy. In 1996, the relatively frequent occurrence of fms-like tyrosine kinase 3 (FLT3) activating mutations in acute myeloid leukemia (AML) was first recognized. Several years later, midostaurin was discovered to be a potent inhibitor of the FLT3 tyrosine kinase and to have activity against mutant forms of KIT proto-oncogene receptor tyrosine kinase, which drive advanced systemic mastocytosis (SM). Through a series of collaborations between industry and academia, midostaurin in combination with standard chemotherapy was evaluated in the Cancer and Leukemia Group B 10603/RATIFY study, a large, phase 3, randomized, placebo-controlled trial in patients with newly diagnosed FLT3-mutated AML. This was the first study to show significant improvements in overall survival and event-free survival with the addition of a targeted therapy to standard chemotherapy in this population. Around the same time, durable responses were also observed in other trials of midostaurin in patients with advanced SM. Collectively, these clinical data led to the approval of midostaurin by the US Food and Drug Administration and the European Medicines Agency for both newly diagnosed FLT3-mutated AML and advanced SM.

Abstract Ivosidenib (AG-120) is an oral, targeted agent that suppresses production of the oncometabolite 2-hydroxyglutarate via inhibition of the mutant isocitrate dehydrogenase 1 (IDH1; mIDH1) enzyme. From a phase 1 study of 258 patients with IDH1-mutant hematologic malignancies, we report results for 34 patients with newly diagnosed acute myeloid leukemia (AML) ineligible for standard therapy who received 500 mg ivosidenib daily. Median age was 76.5 years, 26 patients (76%) had secondary AML, and 16 (47%) had received ≥1 hypomethylating agent for an antecedent hematologic disorder. The most common all-grade adverse events were diarrhea (n = 18; 53%), fatigue (n = 16; 47%), nausea (n = 13; 38%), and decreased appetite (n = 12; 35%). Differentiation syndrome was reported in 6 patients (18%) (grade ≥3 in 3 [9%]) and did not require treatment discontinuation. Complete remission (CR) plus CR with partial hematologic recovery (CRh) rate was 42.4% (95% confidence interval [CI], 25.5% to 60.8%); CR 30.3% (95% CI, 15.6% to 48.7%). Median durations of CR+CRh and CR were not reached, with 95% CI lower bounds of 4.6 and 4.2 months, respectively; 61.5% and 77.8% of patients remained in remission at 1 year. With median follow-up of 23.5 months (range, 0.6-40.9 months), median overall survival was 12.6 months (95% CI, 4.5-25.7). Of 21 transfusion-dependent patients (63.6%) at baseline, 9 (42.9%) became transfusion independent. IDH1 mutation clearance was seen in 9/14 patients achieving CR+CRh (5/10 CR; 4/4 CRh). Ivosidenib monotherapy was well-tolerated and induced durable remissions and transfusion independence in patients with newly diagnosed AML. This trial was registered at www.clinicaltrials.gov as #NCT02074839.

Introduction Ivosidenib is a novel oral inhibitor of mutated isocitrate dehydrogenase 1 approved for the treatment of refractory or relapsed acute myeloid leukemia in patients with isocitrate dehydrogenase 1 mutations or as first-line agent in patients unable to tolerate chemotherapy. It is known to commonly cause differentiation syndrome, but an association with cardiovascular complications is not well established. Case report We present the case of a 34-year-old female with relapsed acute myeloid leukemia post-allogeneic transplant who developed ivosidenib-induced differentiation syndrome complicated by myopericarditis and cardiogenic shock. Management and outcome Ivosidenib was discontinued, and aggressive management was pursued with high-dose steroids, ventilatory and pressure support and diuresis. She had significant improvement and later tolerated reintroduction of ivosidenib without recurrent episodes of differentiation syndrome or cardiac complications. Discussion To the best of our knowledge, this is the first reported case of myopericarditis and cardiogenic shock related to ivosidenib use. This case highlights the high index of suspicion required to recognize early signs of targeted therapy-related complications and exemplifies the beneficial collaborative role a cardio-oncology team provides in improving patient care.
