Ivosidenib (Tibsovo)

General information

Class/mechanism: IDH1 inhibitor. Ivosidenib inhibits the mutant isocitrate dehydrogenase 1 (IDH1) enzyme at lower drug concentrations than wild-type IDH1. Inhibiting mutant IDH1 enzyme prevents formation of the oncometabolite 2-hydroxyglutarate (2HG) in leukemia cells, causes a reduction in IDH1-expressing tumor cells, and increases percentages of mature myeloid cells.

Diseases for which it is used

• IDH1-mutated AML
• Cholangiocarcinoma

• 5/25/2022: Approved in combination with azacitidine for newly diagnosed acute myeloid leukemia (AML) with a susceptible IDH1 mutation, as detected by an FDA-approved test in adults 75 years or older, or who have comorbidities that preclude use of intensive induction chemotherapy. (Based on AG120-C-009)

Cholangiocarcinoma

• 8/25/2021: Approved for adult patients with previously treated, locally advanced or metastatic cholangiocarcinoma with an isocitrate dehydrogenase-1 (IDH1) mutation. (Based on ClarIDHy)
