AG-120 in People with IDH1 Mutant Chondrosarcoma

Trial Status: closed to accrual

This phase II trial studies how well AG-120 works in treating patients with IDH1 mutant chondrosarcoma that has spread to nearby tissue or lymph nodes (locally advanced), spread to other places in the body (metastatic), or has come back (recurrent). IDH1 is a type of protein involved in the process of providing energy to the body’s cells. In diseases like sarcoma, an abnormal form (mutated form) of the IDH1 protein is present in the diseased cells. When IDH1 is present in this abnormal form, it produces too much 2-hydroxyglutarate (2-HG), a substance present in low levels in normal cells. When there is too much 2-HG in normal cells, immature cells may be unable to function normally, which may result in chondrosarcoma. AG-120 may stop the formation of abnormal IDH1 protein, which may reduce 2-HG levels in diseased cells to levels like those in normal cells. AG-120 targets only the abnormal IDH1 protein (and not the normal form).
