Study Summary

This trial is studying AG-120 and AG-221 to see if they are safe when given with standard AML induction and consolidation therapy and to find the maximum tolerated dose of each drug.

Who is the study for?
Adults with newly diagnosed Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML) having specific mutations (IDH1/IDH2), who haven't had AML treatment but may have been treated for related conditions. They should be in a stable health condition, not pregnant or breastfeeding, and willing to use effective contraception.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The trial is testing AG-120 or AG-221 combined with standard AML therapies during different phases of treatment. It aims to find the safest doses of these drugs when used with induction and consolidation therapy, followed by maintenance until relapse or unacceptable toxicity.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects include reactions at the infusion site, changes in liver and kidney function tests, gastrointestinal symptoms like nausea and vomiting, potential blood disorders such as anemia or clotting issues, fatigue, and increased risk of infections.

6Treatment groups
Experimental Treatment
Group I: AG-221 with cytarabine and idarubicinExperimental Treatment5 Interventions
Daily AG-221 administered orally in combination with standard Induction therapy and consolidation therapy. After 1 cycle of induction therapy, participants may undergo a second induction cycle given as per institutional practice. Participants who achieve an adequate response at the end of induction therapy will go on to receive consolidation therapy (mitoxantrone/etoposide or up to 4 cycles of cytarabine) in combination with AG-221. Participants who complete consolidation therapy and are in CR or CRi (including CRp) may continue on maintenance therapy and receive daily treatment with AG-221.
Group II: AG-221 with cytarabine and daunorubicinExperimental Treatment5 Interventions
Daily AG-221 administered orally in combination with standard Induction therapy and consolidation therapy. After 1 cycle of induction therapy, participants may undergo a second induction cycle given as per institutional practice. Participants who achieve an adequate response at the end of induction therapy will go on to receive consolidation therapy (mitoxantrone/etoposide or up to 4 cycles of cytarabine) in combination with AG-221. Participants who complete consolidation therapy and are in CR or CRi (including CRp) may continue on maintenance therapy and receive daily treatment with AG-221.
Group III: AG-221 (starting on Day 8) with cytarabine and idarubicinExperimental Treatment5 Interventions
Daily AG-221 administered orally starting on Day 8 of induction cycle 1 in combination with standard Induction therapy and consolidation therapy. After 1 cycle of induction therapy, participants may undergo a second induction cycle given as per institutional practice. Participants who achieve an adequate response at the end of induction therapy will go on to receive consolidation therapy (mitoxantrone/etoposide or up to 4 cycles of cytarabine) in combination with AG-221. Participants who complete consolidation therapy and are in CR or CRi (including CRp) may continue on maintenance therapy and receive daily treatment with AG-221.
Group IV: AG-221 (starting on Day 8) with cytarabine and daunorubicinExperimental Treatment5 Interventions
Daily AG-221 administered orally starting on Day 8 of induction cycle 1 in combination with standard Induction therapy and consolidation therapy. After 1 cycle of induction therapy, participants may undergo a second induction cycle given as per institutional practice. Participants who achieve an adequate response at the end of induction therapy will go on to receive consolidation therapy (mitoxantrone/etoposide or up to 4 cycles of cytarabine) in combination with AG-221. Participants who complete consolidation therapy and are in CR or CRi (including CRp) may continue on maintenance therapy and receive daily treatment with AG-221.
Group V: AG-120 with cytarabine and idarubicinExperimental Treatment5 Interventions
Daily AG-120 administered orally in combination with standard Induction therapy and consolidation therapy. After 1 cycle of induction therapy, participants may undergo a second induction cycle given as per institutional practice. Participants who achieve an adequate response at the end of induction therapy will go on to receive consolidation therapy (mitoxantrone/etoposide or up to 4 cycles of cytarabine) in combination with AG-120. Participants who complete consolidation therapy and are in CR or CRi (including CRp) may continue on maintenance therapy and receive daily treatment with AG-120.
Group VI: AG-120 with cytarabine and daunorubicinExperimental Treatment5 Interventions
Daily AG-120 administered orally in combination with standard Induction therapy and consolidation therapy. After 1 cycle of induction therapy, participants may undergo a second induction cycle given as per institutional practice. Participants who achieve an adequate response at the end of induction therapy will go on to receive consolidation therapy (mitoxantrone/etoposide or up to 4 cycles of cytarabine) in combination with AG-120. Participants who complete consolidation therapy and are in complete response (CR) or complete remission with incomplete hematologic recovery (CRi) (including CR with incomplete platelet recovery [CRp]) may continue on maintenance therapy and receive daily treatment with AG-120.

Are there any precedents for the use of AG-120 in prior clinical trials?

"Presently, there are 548 ongoing trials for the AG-120 treatment. Of those studies, 137 have reached Phase 3 and they are primarily located in Edmonton, Alberta. However, 24177 locations across the globe administer this medication as part of their research initiatives."

Answered by AI

What maladies can AG-120 be used to treat?

"AG-120 is the medication of choice when treating multiple sclerosis and has also shown to be beneficial in managing merkel cell cancer, meningeal leukemia, and prostate cancer."

Answered by AI

How many participants are actively involved in the experiment?

"At this moment, recruitment for this trial has ended. It was first posted on December 31st 2015 and the latest update is from July 26th 2022. If you are still looking to participate in clinical studies, there are 1655 trials actively enrolling participants with leukemia or myeloid acute and 548 AG-120 related studies seeking volunteers."

Answered by AI

Is this investigation being carried out in various areas of the city?

"This medical study is recruiting patients from a wide range of clinical sites, including MD Anderson Cancer Center in Houston, Texas; Ohio State University in Columbus, Ohio; and Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston, Massachusetts. A total of 14 other locations are also accepting participants."
