Detailed Description

      Myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) are clonal hematopoietic stem cell disorders characterized by
      ineffective hematopoiesis leading to blood cytopenia, especially anemia, and often evolving
      to Acute myeloblastic Leukemia (AML). Main prognostic factors of MDS, for progression to AML
      and survival, include the number and importance of cytopenias, percent marrow blasts and bone
      marrow cytogenetic abnormalities. These factors are combined in an International Prognostic
      Scoring System (IPSS) that distinguishes 4 subgroups with significantly different risk of
      progression to AML and survival (low, intermediate 1 (int 1), intermediate 2 (int 2), high).
      Low and int 1 subgroups are often grouped together as "favorable " or low risk MDS, and int 2
      and high subgroups are " unfavorable " or high risk MDS.

      On the other hand, only 50 to 60% of the patients respond to Azacitidine, and most responders
      relapse within 12 to 15 months resulting in a median survival of only about 6 months in these
      patients,. As a result there is a need for new therapies in patients who fail to respond to
      azacitidine or decitabine and for whom there is currently no establish treatment.

      Isocitrate dehydrogenase 1 and 2 (IDH1 and IDH2) are key metabolic enzymes that convert
      isocitrate to α-ketoglutarate. IDH1/2 mutations define distinct subsets of cancers, including
      low-grade gliomas and secondary glioblastomas, chondrosarcomas, intrahepatic chol-
      angiocarcinomas, and hematologic malignancies. Somatic point mutations in IDH1/2 confer a
      gain-of-function in cancer cells, resulting in the accumulation and secretion in vast excess
      of an oncometabolite, the D-2-hydroxyglutarate (D-2HG). Overproduction of D-2HG interferes
      with cellular metabolism and epigenetic regulation, contributing to oncogenesis. Indeed, high
      levels of D-2HG inhibit alpha-ketoglutarate-dependent dioxygenases, including histone and DNA
      demethylases, leading to histone and DNA hypermethylation and finally a block in cell
      differentiation.

      preclinical studies have demonstrated that inhibition of IDH1/2-mutant enzymes decreases
      intracellular D-2-hydroxyglutarate (D-2HG) levels, reverses epigenetic dysregulation, and
      releases the differentiation block.

      AG-120, a selective inhibitor of the IDH1 mutant enzyme Overall, in myeloid malignancies,
      AG120 have been mainly used in generally heavily pretreated AML, with about 40% of responses
      in patients with the respective IDH 1 mutation, and a median response duration exceeding 1
      year when CR or PR was achieved.

      Based on these results, we hypothesize that the IDH1 inhibitor (AG 120) may be an effective
      therapeutic option in patient with IDH1 mutation-positive myelodysplastic syndrome This is an
      open-label, single-arm multicenter, phase II study

      The efficacy of AG 120 will be studied in 3 different groups of MDS patients with IDH-1
      mutation:

        -  Cohort A: Higher risk MDS without response (Complete response (CR), Partial Response
           (PR) ,stable disease with HI) after at least 6 cycles of azacitidine or relapse after a
           response

        -  Cohort B: Untreated higher risk MDS without life threatening cytopenias (ie Absolute
           neutrophil count (ANC )< 500/mm3 or any recent infection, platelets below 30,000/mm3 or
           any bleeding symptom). Azacitidine will be added after 3 cycles of AG 120 in the absence
           of significant IWG 2006 criteria response

        -  Cohort C: Lower risk MDS with anemia resistant to erythropoietic stimulating agents
           (primary or secondary resistance)
