Olutasidenib for the Treatment of IDH1 Mutated Acute Myeloid Leukemia, Myelodysplastic Syndrome, Myeloproliferative Neoplasm, or Chronic Myelomonocytic Leukemia after Transplant

Trial Status: active

This phase II trial tests the safety, side effects, and effectiveness of olutasidenib in treating patients with IDH1 mutated acute myeloid leukemia (AML), myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS), myeloproliferative neoplasm (MPN), or chronic myelomonocytic leukemia (CMML) after donor (allogeneic) stem cell transplant. An allogeneic stem cell transplant (allo-SCT) is a procedure in which a person receives blood-forming stem cells (cells from which all blood cells develop) from a genetically similar, but not identical, donor and is one of the most effective treatments available. However, disease relapse remains an important cause of treatment failure and studies have shown that patients with an IDH1 mutation have over a 30% chance of relapse in 2 years after transplant. Olutasidenib, an IDH1 inhibitor, blocks the protein made by the mutated IDH1 gene. Blocking this protein may slow or stop the growth of cancer cells, which may reduce the likelihood of relapse after allo-SCT in patients with IDH1 mutated AML, MDS, MPN or CMML.
