Olutasidenib in Combination with Hypomethylation Therapy for the Treatment of IDH1-Mutated Higher-Risk Myelodysplastic Syndromes, Chronic Myelomonocytic Leukemia, and Myeloproliferative Neoplasms

Trial Status: active

This phase II trial tests how well olutasidenib in combination with hypomethylation therapy (azacitidine, decitabine, and decitabine/cedazuridine) works in treating patients with IDH1-mutated higher risk myelodysplastic syndromes, chronic myelomonocytic leukemia, or myeloproliferative neoplasms. Olutasidenib inhibits the proliferation of tumor cells expressing mutated IDH1. Azacitidine inhibits certain enzymes, which can lead to the activation of tumor suppressor genes that help kill of cancer cells. Decitabine is in a class of medications called hypomethylation agents. It works by helping the bone marrow produce normal blood cells and by killing abnormal cells in the bone marrow. Cedazuridine is in a class of medications called cytidine deaminase inhibitors. It prevents the breakdown of decitabine, making it more available in the body so that decitabine will have a greater effect. Azacitidine, decitabine, and decitabine/cedazuridine are approved for the treatment of myelodysplastic syndrome and chronic myelomonocytic leukemia, but not myeloproliferative neoplasms. Combining olutasidenib with hypomethylation therapy may be more effective at treating patients with IDH1-mutated myelodysplastic syndromes, chronic myelomonocytic leukemia, or myeloproliferative neoplasms than giving either alone.
