New pill targets rare gene mutation in Hard-to-Treat blood cancers
NCT ID NCT02074839
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This early-stage trial tests an oral drug called AG-120 in people with advanced blood cancers, like acute myeloid leukemia, that have a specific IDH1 mutation. The study aims to find the safest dose and see if the drug can control the disease. About 291 participants will take the pill daily until their disease gets worse or side effects become too severe.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- AG-120 (a pill that targets cancer cells with a specific IDH1 mutation)
- What this could lead to
- If it works, this could point toward a new treatment option for people with certain blood cancers that have not responded to other therapies.
- What could go wrong
- This is an early phase 1 trial, so the drug may not work or could cause unexpected side effects. It is only for people with a specific gene mutation, so it would not help everyone.
