About this study

Official title: Phase 1 Trial of Ivosidenib and FLAG Chemotherapy in Relapsed/Refractory IDH1+ Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML)

This phase I trial studies the side effects and best dose of ivosidenib when given together with combination chemotherapy for the treatment of 1DH1 mutant acute myeloid leukemia that is newly diagnosed (previously untreated), has come back (relapsed), or does not respond to treatment (refractory). Ivosidenib may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking the IDH1 mutation and some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as fludarabine phosphate, cytarabine, and filgrastim, work in different ways to stop the growth of cancer cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. Giving ivosidenib with combination chemotherapy may work better in treating patients with acute myeloid leukemia compared to chemotherapy alone.

Read the detailed description

PRIMARY OBJECTIVE:

  1. To determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of ivosidenib in combination with fludarabine, cytarabine, plus granulocyte-colony stimulating factor (G-CSF) (FLAG) ± Idarubicin chemotherapy.

SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:

  1. To evaluate the safety profile of ivosidenib in combination with FLAG ± Idarubicin chemotherapy.

II. To determine the rate of complete remission (CR + complete remission with incomplete hematological recovery [CRi] + complete remission with incomplete platelet recovery [CRp]) with ivosidenib in combination with FLAG ± Idarubicin chemotherapy.

III. To evaluate the 1 year progression free survival. IV. To evaluate the 1 year overall survival. V. To assess the number of patients that receive allogeneic stem cell transplant after ivosidenib in combination with FLAG ± Idarubicin chemotherapy.

EXPLORATORY OBJECTIVES:

  1. To assess for minimal residual disease negativity by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) for IDH1 mutations after treatment with ivosidenib in combination with FLAG ± Idarubicin chemotherapy.

II. To assess for minimal residual disease negativity by PCR for IDH1 mutations after 3 cycles of maintenance therapy.

OUTLINE:

INDUCTION: Patients receive filgrastim subcutaneously (SC) once daily (QD) on days 0-6, fludarabine phosphate intravenously (IV) QD over 30 minutes on days 1-5, cytarabine IV QD over 4 hours on days 1-5, and ivosidenib orally (PO) QD on days 7-28. The addition of idarubicin to FLAG (FLAG ± IDA) will be per treating investigator and is to be to be administered at 8 mg/m2 by IV infusion over 30 minutes on days 4-6 of cycle 1, when given in combination with FLAG. Treatment continues for 28 days in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

CONSOLIDATION: Patients that complete the induction cycle are eligible to receive consolidation therapy with 1 cycle of FLAG ± IDA and ivosidenib based on treating physician discretion. Eligible patients for consolidation therapy are those who have CR, CRi, CRp, or PR. Patients are not required to receive consolidation therapy. Patients receive filgrastim SC QD on days 0-5, fludarabine phosphate IV QD over 30 minutes on days 1-4, cytarabine IV QD over 4 hours on days 1-4, and ivosidenib PO QD on days 1-28. The addition of idarubicin to FLAG (FLAG ± IDA) will be per treating investigator and is to be to be administered at 8 mg/m2 by IV infusion over 30 minutes on days 4-6. Treatment continues for 28 days for 1 cycle in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

MAINTENANCE: Patients that have completed 1 cycle of induction with ivosidenib and FLAG ± IDA may start maintenance. Patients are not required to receive consolidation treatment in order to proceed to maintenance. Patients receive ivosidenib PO QD on days 1-28. Treatment repeats every 28 days for up to 26 cycles in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

After completion of study treatment, patients complete follow up at 30 days and then every month for up to 1 year from start of study treatment to document survival and disease progression.

    Given PO

  • IdarubicinDrug

    Also called Idamycin

    8 mg/m2 IV on days 4-6 of induction (cycle 1) and 8 g/m2 IV on days 4-6 of consolidation. Idarubicin will be administered per treating physician discretion.

    Idarubicin is a drug that belongs to a group of anti-cancer drugs called anthracyclines. These drugs were originally used as antibiotics, but it was subsequently found that they were effective anti-cancer drugs. Idarubicin hydrochloride is a DNA-intercalating analog of daunorubicin which has an inhibitory effect on nucleic acid synthesis and interacts with the enzyme topoisomerase II. The absence of a methoxy group at position 4 of the anthracycline structure gives the compound a high lipophilicity which results in an increased rate of cellular uptake compared with other anthracyclines.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Cytarabine, Filgrastim and Fludarabine in people with Recurrent Acute Myeloid Leukemia and Recurrent Myelodysplastic Syndrome, run by Northwestern University at 1 site 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 22 inclusion and 17 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 1 Jun 2026. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site 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 was stopped early (reason given: Low accrual). Results are not available in the source record.

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 of ivosidenib in combination with FLAG (± IDA) chemotherapy (time frame: Up to day 42 of the first treatment cycle). 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 NCT04250051.

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 1 Jun 2026.
