NCT ID NCT03173248

What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.
Paused
Paused for now. It may or may not start again.
Ongoing This study
Running, but no longer taking on new participants.
Completed
The trial has finished. Results may not be published yet.
Stopped early
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.
Cancelled
Cancelled before anyone took part.

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.
Approved
The treatment has been approved, so it is available normally rather than through this programme.

When the status isn't known

Details not published
The full record has not been published yet, so there is little to show here.
Status unknown
This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.

Summary

This Phase 3 trial tests whether adding ivosidenib (a targeted pill) to standard azacitidine helps adults with a specific IDH1-mutated acute myeloid leukemia (AML) who cannot have intensive chemotherapy. About 146 participants receive either the combo or a placebo plus azacitidine. The study measures how long people live without their leukemia worsening or returning.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
Ivosidenib (AG-120) and azacitidine
What this could lead to
If it works, this combination could offer a new, less intensive treatment option for people with a specific type of AML who cannot tolerate strong chemotherapy.
What could go wrong
This is a Phase 3 trial, but results are not yet final. The drug may not improve survival or remission rates enough, and side effects like heart rhythm changes or liver problems are possible.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.

Inclusion Criteria: 1. Be ≥ 18 years of age and meet at least 1 of the following criteria defining ineligibility for intensive induction chemotherapy (IC): ≥ 75 years old, Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group Performance Status (ECOG PS) score of 2, severe cardiac disorder (e.g., congestive heart failure requiring treatment, left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF), ≤50%, or chronic stable angina), severe pulmonary disorder (e.g., diffusing capacity of the lungs for carbon monoxide ≤65% or forced expiratory volume in 1 second ≤65%), creatinine clearance \<45 mL/minute, bilirubin \>1.5 times the upper limit of normal (ULN) and/or have any other comorbidity that the Investigator judges to be incompatible with intensive IC and must be reviewed and approved by the Medical Monitor before study enrollment. 2. Have previously untreated AML, defined according to World Health Organization (WHO) criteria, with ≥ 20% leukemic blasts in the bone marrow. Participants with extramedullary disease alone (i.e., no detectable bone marrow and no detectable peripheral blood AML) are not eligible for the study. 3. Have an isocitrate dehydrogenase 1 (IDH1) mutation. 4. Have an ECOG PS score of 0 to 2. 5. Have adequate hepatic function. 6. Have adequate renal function. 7. Have agreed to undergo serial blood and bone marrow sampling. 8. Be able to understand and willing to sign an informed consent form (ICF). 9. Be willing to complete Quality of Life assessments during the study 10. If female with reproductive potential, must have a negative serum pregnancy test prior to the start of study therapy. Females of reproductive potential, as well as fertile men and their female partners of reproductive potential, must agree to use 2 effective forms of contraception. Exclusion Criteria: 1. Are candidates for and willing to receive intensive induction chemotherapy (IC) for their AML. 2. Have received any prior treatment for AML with the exception of hydroxyurea. 3. Have received a hypomethylating agent for myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS). 4. Participants who had previously received an experimental agent for MDS may not be randomized until a washout period has elapsed since the last dose of that agent. 5. Have received prior treatment with an IDH1 inhibitor. 6. Have a known hypersensitivity to any of the components of AG-120, matched placebo, or azacitidine. 7. Are female and pregnant or breastfeeding. 8. Have an active, uncontrolled, systemic fungal, bacterial, or viral infection without improvement despite appropriate antibiotics, antiviral therapy, and/or other treatment. 9. Have a prior history of cancer other than MDS or myeloproliferative disorder, unless the participant has been free of the disease for ≥ 1 year prior to the start of study treatment. 10. Have had significant active cardiac disease within 6 months prior to the start of the study treatment. 11. Have any condition that increases the risk of abnormal ECG or cardiac arrhythmia. 12. Have a condition that limits the ingestion or absorption of drugs administered by mouth. 13. Have uncontrolled hypertension (systolic blood pressure \[BP\] \> 180 mmHg or diastolic BP \> 100 mmHg). 14. Have clinical symptoms suggestive of active central nervous system (CNS) leukemia or known CNS leukemia. 15. Have immediate, life-threatening, severe complications of leukemia, such as uncontrolled bleeding, pneumonia with hypoxia or sepsis, and/or disseminated intravascular coagulation. 16. Have any other medical or psychological condition deemed by the Investigator to be likely to interfere with the participant's ability to give informed consent or participate in the study. 17. Are taking medications that are known to prolong the QT interval unless they can be transferred to other medications within ≥5 half-lives prior to dosing, or unless the medications can be properly monitored during the study. (If equivalent medication is not available, heart rate corrected QT interval \[QTc\] will be closely monitored.) 18. Have a known medical history of progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy.
