About this study
Official title: A Phase 1 Study of IDH1 Inhibition Using Ivosidenib as Maintenance Therapy for IDH1-mutant Myeloid Neoplasms Following Allogeneic Stem Cell Transplantation
This research study is studying a drug as a possible treatment for IDH1-mutant myeloid neoplasms.
-The drug involved in this study is ivosidenib (AG-120)
Read the detailed description
This research study is a Phase I clinical trial, which tests the safety of an investigational drug and also tries to define the appropriate dose of the investigational drug to use for further studies. "Investigational" means that the drug is being studied.
The FDA (the U.S. Food and Drug Administration) has not approved ivosidenib as a treatment for any disease.
Ivosidenib is an inhibitor of the protein IDH1. Ivosidenib is currently being studied as a treatment for myeloid cancers like acute myeloid leukemia or myelodysplastic syndromes with an IDH1 mutation. This study is examining whether or not ivosidenib is beneficial and well-tolerated as an agent to prevent the relapse of IDH1-mutated acute myeloid leukemia or other myeloid neoplasms after hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. IDH1 is an enzyme that, when mutated, can overproduce metabolites (substances that help with metabolism) and compounds that contribute to the growth of tumors and cancerous cells. Ivosidenib may help block the over production of these substances and possibly reduce the chances of relapse.

| Study group | Role | What they receive |
|---|---|---|
| Ivosidenib (500mg/day) | Experimental | -Ivosidenib will be administered orally every day Receives: Drug: Ivosidenib |
| Ivosidenib (250mg/day) | Experimental | -Ivosidenib will be administered orally every day Receives: Drug: Ivosidenib |
What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Maximum Tolerated Dose
Participants will be enrolled in standard 3 + 3 dose escalation cohorts in order to determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD). The first 3 participants will be started on 500mg of Ivosidenib, administered daily for 28 consecutive days (1 cycle). If the 500mg/day dose level is tolerated, an additional 10 participants will be treated at this dose level. If the 500mg/day dose is not tolerated, the dose will be decreased to 250mg/day. If 250mg daily is tolerated, then an additional 10 participants will be treated at 250mg daily. The only doses studied will be 500mg daily and 250mg daily (the latter, if necessary). If 250mg daily dosing is not tolerated, then the study will end without expansion. Dose limiting toxicities are assessed and graded using Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE 4).
Measured: 28 Days
Secondary outcomes (5)
Ivosidenib-related Adverse Events, categorized by grade
Adverse events will be assessed and graded using Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE 4).
Measured: From the start of treatment until 30 days after the end of treatment, up to 13 months total
Cumulative incidence of acute GVHD
Cumulative incidence of acute graft versus host disease (GVHD), measured from start of treatment with Ivosidenib.
Measured: From the start of treatment with Ivosidenib until the onset of Acute GVHD, up to 100 days
Cumulative incidence of chronic GVHD
The cumulative incidence of chronic GVHD, measured from start of treatment with Ivosidenib. Chronic GVHD will be assessed using the National Institutes of Health consensus development project on criteria for clinical trials in chronic graft-versus-host disease.
Measured: From the start of treatment with Ivosidenib until the onset of chronic GVHD, up to 24 months
Plasma and marrow 2-hydroxyglutarate levels
Measured: Screening, cycle 1 days 8 and 15 (cycles are 28 days), before the start of cycles 2 and 3, and at the time of relapse; up 24 months total time
IDH clonal evolution and mutational burden
Isocitrate dehydrogenase (IDH) clonal evolution and mutational burden in patients with IDH1-mutant myeloid neoplasms who receive Ivosidenib after hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. Next-generation sequencing will be used to assess mutational burden (i.e. the fraction of AML cells harboring IDH mutations, corrected for copy number) at various time points. SNaPshot genotyping analysis platform will be used to perform these analyses.
Measured: Screening, cycle 1 days 8 and 15 (cycles are 28 days), before the start of cycles 2 and 3, and at the time of relapse; up 24 months total time

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A Phase 1 study testing Ivosidenib in people with IDH1 Mutation Myeloid Neoplasms, run by Massachusetts General Hospital at 4 sites in United States.
The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.
Who may be eligible to take part?
The sponsor lists 18 inclusion and 12 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.
Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?
The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 4 Nov 2025. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 4 sites in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.
What are the possible benefits and risks?
They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.
What does this phase mean?
Phase 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.
Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.
Are results available for this study?
The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.
How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?
The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
Maximum Tolerated Dose (time frame: 28 Days). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
Where can I read the original study information?
On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT03564821, which also lists 1 linked publication.
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?
No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.
How often is this information updated?
AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 4 Nov 2025.
