A plain-language summary of the goals, design and what participants do
This clinical trial is focused on studying treatments for patients who have been newly diagnosed with either acute myeloid leukemia (AML) or myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS). These are types of blood cancers that affect the bone marrow, where blood cells are made. The study is specifically for patients whose cancer cells have a mutation in the IDH1 or IDH2 genes. These mutations can affect how the cancer grows and responds to treatment.
The trial will test two medications, ivosidenib and enasidenib, which are taken as film-coated tablets. These medications are designed to target the specific gene mutations in the cancer cells. The study will compare the effects of these medications when used alongside standard chemotherapy treatments. Some patients will receive a placebo instead of the active medication to help researchers understand the true effects of the drugs being tested.
The purpose of the study is to see if these treatments can improve the time patients live without the cancer getting worse, known as event-free survival. Participants will go through different phases of treatment, including induction therapy, consolidation therapy, and maintenance therapy. These phases are designed to first reduce the number of cancer cells, then stabilize the condition, and finally maintain the results over time. The study aims to provide valuable information on how effective these treatments are for patients with these specific gene mutations in AML or MDS.
The trial runs in 5 steps – from screening to follow-up. Each step says what happens and what the team monitors.

is a medication used in this trial for patients with newly diagnosed acute myeloid leukemia (AML) or myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) who have a specific genetic mutation called IDH1. It is given in combination with other treatments to help improve the chances of survival without the disease getting worse.
is another medication used in the trial for patients with the same conditions but with a different genetic mutation called IDH2. Like ivosidenib, it is used alongside other therapies to help manage the disease and improve outcomes for patients.
This medication is administered orally and is currently being studied in clinical trials for its effectiveness in treating acute myeloid leukemia (AML) and myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) with excess blasts-2, specifically in patients with an IDH1 mutation. It is classified as an isocitrate dehydrogenase-1 (IDH1) inhibitor. Ivosidenib works by blocking the abnormal enzyme activity caused by the IDH1 mutation, which can help to stop the growth of cancer cells. It is being evaluated for its potential to improve event-free survival when used in combination with standard chemotherapy treatments.
This medication is taken orally and is under investigation in clinical trials for its role in treating acute myeloid leukemia (AML) and myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) with excess blasts-2, particularly in patients with an IDH2 mutation. Enasidenib is classified as an isocitrate dehydrogenase-2 (IDH2) inhibitor. It functions by inhibiting the mutated IDH2 enzyme, which can help to reduce the growth of cancer cells. The current research aims to determine its effectiveness in enhancing event-free survival when combined with traditional chemotherapy regimens.
Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is a type of cancer that affects the blood and bone marrow, characterized by the rapid growth of abnormal white blood cells. These abnormal cells accumulate in the bone marrow, interfering with the production of normal blood cells. AML can lead to symptoms such as fatigue, frequent infections, and easy bruising or bleeding. The disease progresses quickly and requires prompt medical attention. It is more common in older adults but can occur at any age. AML is classified into different subtypes based on genetic and chromosomal abnormalities.
Myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) is a group of disorders caused by poorly formed or dysfunctional blood cells. It occurs when the blood-forming cells in the bone marrow are damaged, leading to a shortage of one or more types of blood cells. Symptoms may include fatigue, shortness of breath, and increased risk of bleeding or infection. MDS can progress slowly or transform into acute myeloid leukemia in some cases. The condition is more prevalent in older adults and can vary in severity. MDS is often detected through routine blood tests showing abnormal blood cell counts.
