Azacitidine and Enasidenib in Treating Patients With IDH2-Mutant Myelodysplastic Syndrome

NCT03383575

Description:

This phase II trial studies the side effects and how well azacitidine and enasidenib work in treating patients with IDH2-mutant myelodysplastic syndrome. Azacitidine and enasidenib may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth.

Purpose

This phase II trial studies the side effects and how well azacitidine and enasidenib work in treating patients with IDH2-mutant myelodysplastic syndrome. Azacitidine and enasidenib may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth.

Detailed Description

      PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:

      I. To determine the safety and tolerability of enasidenib alone, and enasidenib in
      combination with azacitidine (AZA), for patients with isocitrate dehydrogenase 2 (IDH2)
      mutated myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS).

      II. To assess the efficacy of the combination of enasidenib + azacitidine in hypomethylating
      agent (HMA) naive subjects with IDH2-mutated MDS, and to assess the efficacy of enasidenib
      single-agent in subjects with IDH2-mutated MDS who are relapsed/refractory to HMA therapy.

      SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:

      I. To evaluate molecular and cellular markers that may be predictive of antitumor activity
      and/or resistance including evaluation of IDH2 variant allele fraction (VAF) levels during
      treatment and presence of co-occurring mutations.

      II. To assess overall survival, event-free survival and duration of response of enasidenib
      alone, and enasidenib in combination with azacitidine.

      EXPLORATORY OBJECTIVES:

      I. To assess changes in cellular differentiation and changes in deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA)
      methylation profiles in IDH2-mutated MDS treated with enasidenib alone and with enasidenib +
      azacitidine.

      II. To evaluate quality of life (QOL) using an MDS-specific measure.

      OUTLINE: Patients are assigned to 1 of 2 arms.

      ARM I: Patients who are HMA-naive receive enasidenib orally (PO) once daily (QD) on days 1-28
      and azacitidine intravenously (IV) oveer 30-60 minutes or subcutaneously (SC) on days 1-7.
      Cycles repeat every 28 days in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

      ARM II: Patients relapsed and/or refractory to HMA therapy receive enasidenib PO QD on days
      1-28. Cycles repeat every 28 days in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable
      toxicity.

      After completion of study treatment, patients are followed up every 3 months for up to 3
      years.
