Ivosidenib and Venetoclax With or Without Azacitidine in Treating Patients With IDH1 Mutated Hematologic Malignancies
What this study is about
This phase Ib/II trial studies the side effects and best dose of venetoclax and how well it works when given together with ivosidenib with or without azacitidine, in treating patients with IDH1-mutated hematologic malignancies. Venetoclax and ivosidenib may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth.

Primary outcome measures
Overall response rate (ORR)
Time frame: Up to 3 years
Defined as complete response (CR), CR with incomplete blood count recovery (CRi), morphologic leukemia-free state (MLFS), and partial response (PR) based on revised International Working Group (IWG) response criteria. Analysis will be performed for enrolled subjects.
Incidence of adverse events
Time frame: Up to 3 years
Will be collected using leukemia adverse event guidelines.
Dose-limiting toxicity
Time frame: Up to 56 days
Defined as any grade 3 or 4, clinically significant non-hematologic adverse event or abnormal laboratory value.
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
- Age \> 18 years.
- 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 PI.
- Relapsed/refractory AML, or treatment-naïve patients with AML who are not eligible for standard induction chemotherapy. Patients with high-risk MDS, MDS/MPN or MPN (defined as \> 10% bone marrow blasts, or intermediate or high risk by IPSS, R-IPSS or D-IPSS) that have failed standard therapy may also be eligible after discussion with the PI.
- Adequate hepatic function (direct bilirubin \< 2 x ULN, ALT and/or AST \< 3x 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 with known allergy or hypersensitivity to ivosidenib or venetoclax.
- Patients who have previously received either ivosidenib or venetoclax.
- 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 one dose of cytarabine (up to 2 g/m2) for patients with rapidly proliferative disease is allowed before the start of study therapy and for the first four weeks on therapy.
- Patients receiving concomitant strong CYP3A inducers (avasimibe, carbamazepine, phenytoin, rifampin, rifabutin, St. John's wort) within 3 days of 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 a concurrent active malignancy under treatment.
- QTc interval using Fridericia's formula (QTcF) \> 450 msec. Bundle branch block and prolonged QTc interval are permitted after discussion with the PI.
- Known active hepatitis B (HBV) or Hepatitis C (HCV) infection or known HIV infection.
- Subject has a white blood cell count \> 25 x 10⁹/L. (Note: Hydroxyurea is permitted to meet this criterion.)
- Nursing women, women of childbearing potential (WOCBP) with positive urine 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).

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.
