Study description
The study is needed to test a drug called ivosidenib in patients with advanced blood cancers (hematologic malignancies) that have a change in a specific gene (mutation) called isocitrate dehydrogenase 1 (IDH1).
IDH1 mutations lead to abnormal forms of IDH1 proteins in the cancer cells. When these abnormal proteins are present, too much of a substance called 2-hydroxyglutarate (2-HG) is produced. This impairs normal cell functioning and may cause cells to become cancer cells.
Ivosidenib is a drug that blocks the activity of abnormal IDH1 proteins. This reduces 2-HG levels in cancer cells back to normal levels. Ivosidenib has already been approved in certain countries for treating patients with different types of cancer with an IDH1 mutation.
The main goals of the study are:
- To see how safe and well-tolerated ivosidenib is in participants with advanced blood cancer with an IDH1 mutation.
- To find the highest dose of ivosidenib that participants can take without too much risk (highest tolerated dose). This highest tolerated dose helps to find the recommended dose (the one that is both safe and effective for patients).
- To see how well ivosidenib works in treating advanced blood cancer with an IDH1 mutation.

Eligibility Criteria
Eligible age for the study
Sex
Male/FemaleAccepts Healthy Volunteers
NoTo take part in the study, participants have to:
- Be at least 18 years old.
- Have advanced blood cancer with an IDH1 mutation.
- Be able and willing to undergo required sampling procedures, including bone marrow and blood sampling. Bone marrow sampling involves a minor surgical procedure.
Participants cannot take part in the study if:
- They have previously received a drug that blocks IDH1.
- They have received anticancer medicines or radiation therapy within 14 days before starting the study.
How is the study designed?
Participants take the study treatments during time periods called “cycles”. Participants take AG-120 orally every day, over 28-day cycles.
