Summary of Clinical Use Click here for help
Ivosidenib (AG-120) was initially granted orphan drug designation by the US FDA for the treatment of acute myeloid leukemia (AML) in patients carrying IDH1 gene mutations. Full approval was granted in July 2018 for the treatment of relapsed/refractory IDH1-mutated AML, with approval based on results from clinical trial NCT02074839 [3]. Differentaition syndrome [1], QT prolongation and Guillain-Barré syndrome are serious adverse reactions that are highlighted in the Medication Guide provided to patients who are given this drug.

Clinical trials in various other IDH1-mutant positive hematologic malignancies and solid tumours (e.g. cholangiocarcinoma, chondrosarcoma and glioma) were continued. Click here to link to ClinicalTrials.gov's full list of AG-120 trials.
In May 2019 the FDA expanded ivosidenib's approval to include use as a treatment for newly-diagnosed IDH1-mutant AML in patients who are ≥75 years old or who have comorbidities that preclude the use of intensive induction chemotherapy. In August 2021, the FDA approval was expanded again to include patients with previously treated, locally advanced or metastatic IDH1 mutation +ve cholangiocarcinoma.
In Europe the EMA granted ivosidenib orphan designation for the treatment of AML (2016) and biliary tract cancer (2018) with IDH1 mutations.
In May 2023, the EMA issued full approvals for use of ivosidenib for additional rare cancers; in combination with azacitidine to treat newly diagnosed IDH1R132 AML, and as monotherapy for previously treated locally advanced/metastatic IDH1R132 positive cholangiocarcinoma.
In October 2023, FDA approval was granted for ivosidenib's use as a treatment for relapsed/refractory myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) with a susceptible IDH1 mutation.
Mechanism Of Action and Pharmacodynamic Effects Click here for help
Mutations of IDH1 (in particular mutation of Arg 132) present in certain cancer cells cause altered (and abnormal) enzymatic activity, permitting IDH1 to catalyze the NAPH-dependent reduction of α-ketoglutarate to R(-)-2-hydroxyglutarate (2HG). The production of 2HG is believed to contribute to the formation and progression of cancer [2].
