CPX-351 and Ivosidenib for the Treatment of IDH1 Mutated Acute Myeloid Leukemia or High-Risk Myelodysplastic Syndrome
What this study is about
This phase II trial investigates how well CPX-351 and ivosidenib work in treating patients with acute myeloid leukemia or high-risk myelodysplastic syndrome that has IDH1 mutation. The safety of this drug combination will also be studied. IDH1 is a type of genetic mutation (change).
View original scientific description
This phase II trial investigates how well CPX-351 and ivosidenib work in treating patients with acute myeloid leukemia or high-risk myelodysplastic syndrome that has IDH1 mutation. The safety of this drug combination will also be studied. IDH1 is a type of genetic mutation (change). Chemotherapy drugs, such as CPX-351, work in different ways to stop the growth of cancer cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. Ivosidenib may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. The purpose of this trial is to learn if CPX-351 in combination with ivosidenib can help to control IDH1-mutated acute myeloid leukemia or high-risk myelodysplastic syndrome.
Who can participate
This study lists these criteria on ClinicalTrials.gov. A study coordinator reviews eligibility during screening — this page does not determine whether you qualify.
Inclusion criteria
- Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status of ≤ 2
- IDH1-R132 mutated disease status as assessed by local laboratory. 2HG-producing IDH1 variants outside of R132 (i.e. R100) may be eligible after discussion with the principal investigator (PI)
- Treatment naive or relapsed/refractory AML who are eligible for intensive chemotherapy. Patients with high-risk MDS or MPN (defined as International Prognostic Scoring System Revised \[IPSS-R\] score ≥ 4 or dynamic \[D\]-IPSS ≥ 3) may also be eligible after discussion with the PI
- Adequate hepatic function (direct bilirubin ≤ 2 x upper limit of normal (ULN), Alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and/or aspartate aminotransferase (AST) ≤ 3 x ULN unless deemed to be related to underlying leukemia
- Adequate renal function including creatinine clearance ≥ 30 ml/min based on the Cockcroft-Gault equation.
- Willing and able to provide informed consent
- In the absence of rapidly proliferative disease, the interval from prior treatment to time of initiation will be at least 7 days for cytotoxic or non-cytotoxic (immunotherapy) agents.
- Male subjects must agree to refrain from unprotected sex and sperm donation from initial study drug administration until 90 days after the last dose of study drug
Exclusion criteria
- Patients who have previously received CPX-351.
- Patients with any concurrent uncontrolled clinically significant medical condition including infection, laboratory abnormality, or psychiatric illness, which could place the patient at unacceptable risk of study treatment.
- The use of other chemotherapeutic agents or anti-leukemic agents is not permitted during study with the following exceptions (1) intrathecal chemotherapy for prophylactic use or for controlled CNS leukemia. (2) use of hydroxyurea, and/or cytarabine (1 or 2 doses; up to 2 g/m2) for patients with rapidly proliferative disease is allowed before the start of study therapy.
- Patients with active graft-versus-host-disease (GVHD) status post stem cell transplant (patients without active GVHD on chronic suppressive immunosuppression and/or phototherapy for chronic skin GVHD are permitted after discussion with the PI).
- Patients with any severe gastrointestinal or metabolic condition which could interfere with the absorption of oral study medications.
- Patients with symptomatic congestive heart failure (NYHA Class III or IV), unstable angina, or an ejection fraction \< 45%.
- Patients with prior anthracycline exposure of \> 360 mg/m2 daunorubicin (or equivalent), or \> 210 mg/m2 daunorubicin (or equivalent) in patients with prior mediastinal radiation.
- QTc interval using Fridericia's formula (QTcF) \> 470 msec. A prolonged QTc interval in the setting of right bundle branch block is permitted after discussion with the PI.
- Nursing women, women of childbearing potential (WOCBP) with positive urine or serum pregnancy test, or women of childbearing potential who are not willing to maintain adequate contraception a. Appropriate highly effective method(s) of contraception include oral or injectable hormonal birth control, IUD, and double barrier methods (for example a condom in combination with a spermicide).
- Subjects with a known medical history of progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy (PML).
- Subjects taking strong CYP3A4 inducers are excluded from the study unless they can be transferred to other medications within ≥ 5 half-lives prior to dosing
- Patients with a diagnosis of acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL).
- Unresolved toxicities \> grade 1 from prior treatment including chemotherapy, targeted therapy, immunotherapy, experimental agents, radiation, or surgery.

Frequently asked questions
What is a clinical trial?
A clinical trial is a research study that tests new medical treatments, drugs, devices, or procedures to determine their safety and effectiveness. Trials are carefully designed and monitored to protect participants while advancing medical knowledge.
Is it safe to participate?
Clinical trials follow strict safety guidelines and ethical standards. Trials must be reviewed and approved, and participants are closely monitored by medical professionals throughout the study. You can withdraw at any time if you choose.
Will I be compensated?
Many clinical trials offer compensation for your time, travel expenses, and inconvenience. The specific compensation varies by study and will be discussed during the screening process. All study-related medical care is typically provided at no cost to participants.
Will I receive a placebo instead of treatment?
When effective treatment exists, participants typically receive either the standard treatment plus the study intervention, or the standard treatment plus placebo. You would not be denied effective care. Placebos are primarily used when no proven treatment is available, or in addition to standard care. Your trial consent form will clearly explain what treatments you may receive.
Can I leave a trial if I change my mind?
Absolutely. Participation in clinical trials is completely voluntary. You have the right to withdraw from the study at any time, for any reason, without penalty or loss of benefits to which you are otherwise entitled.
How long does a clinical trial last?
Trial duration varies widely depending on the study design and purpose. Some trials last just a few weeks, while others may continue for months or years. The study coordinator will provide specific timeline information during your screening call.
