Ivosidenib, Azacitidine, and Venetoclax Followed by Ivosidenib Alone for the Treatment of Newly Diagnosed Acute Myeloid Leukemia

Trial Status: active

This phase II trial tests the effect of ivosidenib, azacitidine and venetoclax followed by maintenance therapy with ivosidenib alone in treating patients with newly diagnosed IDH1 mutated acute myeloid leukemia (AML). Maintenance therapy is additional treatment given to help keep cancer from coming back after the first course of treatment. Ivosidenib, an IDH1 inhibitor, blocks the protein made by the mutated IDH1 gene, which may help keep cancer cells from growing. Azacitidine stops cells from making DNA and may kill cancer cells. It is a type of antimetabolite. Venetoclax is in a class of medications called B-cell lymphoma-2 (BCL-2) inhibitors. It may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking BCL-2, a protein needed for cancer cell survival. Standard of care treatment includes ivosidenib, azacitidine, and venetoclax as 2-drug combinations (ivosidenib and azacitidine, azacitidine and venetoclax). Giving ivosidenib, azacitidine and venetoclax together, followed by maintenance therapy with ivosidenib alone, may be safe, tolerable, and/or effective in treating patients with newly diagnosed IDH1 mutated AML.
