AML and MDS-EB2 are malignancies of the bone marrow. The standard treatment for these diseases is chemotherapy. Patients participating have a special type of this disease because the leukemia cells (blasts) have developed an error in the genetic material (DNA). This error is called an IDH1 mutation or an IDH2 mutation (a mutation is a change in the DNA), which leads to changes in specific substances in the leukemia cells. This trial will investigate whether the addition of the new drugs Ivosidenib (for patients with IDH1 mutation) or Enasidenib (for patients with IDH2 mutation) to the standard treatment of chemotherapy controle the disease more effectively and for a longer period.
3,667 studies on the registry are indexed under Leukemia, Myeloid, Acute; 816 are open to participants now.
This study's planned enrollment of 968 is above the median of 40 across 3,005 interventional studies indexed under Leukemia, Myeloid, Acute.

o Or, if of : Agree not to try to become pregnant during the study and for 6 months after the final study drug administration And have a negative urine or serum pregnancy test at screening And, if heterosexually active, agree to consistently use highly effective* per locally accepted standards in addition to a barrier method starting at screening and throughout the study period and for 6 months after the final study drug administration.
Highly effective forms of birth control include:
List is not all inclusive. Prior to enrollment, the investigator is responsible for confirming patient will utilize highly effective forms of birth control per the requirements of the CTFG Guidance document 'Recommendations related to contraception and pregnancy testing in clinical trials', September 2014 (and any updates thereof) during the protocol defined period.
Female patient must not donate ova starting at screening and throughout the study period, and for 6 months after the final study drug administration.
Male patient must not donate sperm starting at screening and throughout the study period and for 4 months and 1 week after the final study drug administration.
Exclusion Criteria:
Patients with a currently active second . Patients are not considered to have a currently active malignancy if they have completed therapy and are considered by their physician to be at \< 30% risk of relapse within one year. However, patients with the following history/concurrent conditions are allowed:
Underlined terms in the criteria open these too. Explained by clinicaltrials.gg, not part of the registry record. The study team decides who can take part.
A scale of how much an illness limits everyday activity. For people being assessed to join a study, scores run from 0 (fully active) to 4; lower is more active.
Studies most often ask for 0–1 or 0–2. Your doctor gives the score; the WHO scale uses the same steps. The full scale also has 5, which records death.
A yellow substance made when red blood cells are broken down, which the liver clears. A high level can mean a problem with the liver or the bile ducts.
Criteria often allow more for people with Gilbert’s syndrome, a harmless inherited condition that raises bilirubin.
The top of the normal range for a blood test, as set by the laboratory that runs it. Each lab prints its own range next to your result.
“≤ 2.5 × ULN” means the result can be up to two and a half times that top value.
Two enzymes measured in a routine blood test of the liver. Higher levels can mean the liver is under strain or damaged. SGPT and SGOT are older names for ALT and AST.
Criteria usually give a limit as a multiple of the upper limit of normal (ULN), often higher when cancer has spread to the liver.
How quickly the kidneys clear creatinine, a waste product, from the blood. A study may estimate it from a blood test with age, weight and sex (often by the Cockcroft–Gault formula), or measure it using blood and urine collected over a set time. Given in mL/min; higher is better.
GFR (glomerular filtration rate) is how much blood the kidneys filter each minute. It is usually estimated from a blood test — eGFR, by formulas such as CKD-EPI or MDRD — and some studies ask for it to be measured directly instead. Usually given in mL/min/1.73 m².
Check the method, the units and the minimum the study states. A value of 90 or above is in the normal-or-high range, but kidney damage can show in other tests too.
Before you join, the study team explains what taking part involves — its purpose, what happens, the risks and possible benefits — and answers your questions, so you can decide freely. Consent is usually recorded on a form (the informed consent form, ICF) signed by you or, where the law allows, by someone legally authorised to decide for you.
You can keep asking questions during the study, you are told of new information that matters, and you can choose to leave at any time.
Periods have stopped for good: usually no period for 12 months in a row without another medical reason, sometimes confirmed by a blood test (FSH).
Able to become pregnant: from the first period until menopause, unless permanently unable to through surgery (removal of the womb, or of both ovaries or both fallopian tubes).
Criteria for people of childbearing potential usually ask for a negative pregnancy test and for contraception during the study and for a time after it.
Ways of preventing pregnancy. “Highly effective” methods fail less than 1% of the time a year when used correctly — for example an IUD or an implant.
Criteria usually say which methods count and how long to keep using them after the last dose, sometimes for male participants too. Some studies accept a partner’s vasectomy if it was confirmed successful and that person is the participant’s only sexual partner.
An allergy, or another reaction of the immune system, to a substance. “Hypersensitivity to the study drug” means a known allergic reaction to it — not every side effect a medicine can have.
A drug or device being studied in a clinical trial.
It may be new, or already approved and being studied for another use, dose or form. Criteria often leave out people who took part in another study of one within a recent period, commonly 30 days or five half-lives.
Hepatitis B is a virus that infects the liver. These are separate tests: HBsAg positive usually means a current infection (a recent vaccination can briefly cause it too); total anti-HBc (HBcAb) positive means an infection now or in the past; HBV DNA measures how much virus is in the blood.
Some studies accept a past infection if HBV DNA is undetectable, sometimes with antiviral medicine during the study. Check what this study allows.
The human immunodeficiency virus, which weakens the immune system.
Many studies now accept people whose HIV is controlled on treatment, judged by the viral load and the CD4 count. Check the limits this study sets.
Malignancy means cancer. Criteria about another or earlier malignancy ask whether you have had a different cancer, usually within a set number of years.
Some are commonly allowed, such as treated skin cancers other than melanoma and early cancers removed completely — check the exceptions this study lists.
The New York Heart Association’s four classes of how much heart failure limits physical activity.
Studies set their own limit — many outside heart failure leave out class III–IV, while heart failure studies may ask for a particular class. Check the class this study names.
The share of blood the heart’s main pumping chamber (the left ventricle) pushes out with each beat, measured by an echocardiogram (heart ultrasound) or a MUGA scan. About 50–70% is normal.
On an ECG, the QT interval is the time the heart’s lower chambers take to activate electrically and recover in each beat. QTc is that time adjusted for heart rate (QTcF by Fridericia’s formula, QTcB by Bazett’s). Some medicines lengthen it, and a long QTc can raise the risk of a dangerous heart rhythm.
The study may name a correction formula and a limit in milliseconds, often around 450–480.
ECOG performance status
A scale of how much an illness limits everyday activity. For people being assessed to join a study, scores run from 0 (fully active) to 4; lower is more active.
Studies most often ask for 0–1 or 0–2. Your doctor gives the score; the WHO scale uses the same steps. The full scale also has 5, which records death.

Event-free survival (EFS)
EFS is defined as the time from randomization to failure to achieve CR or CRi after remission induction, death after achieving CR or CRi or relapse after achieving CR or CRi, whichever occurs first. A patient is said to have failed to achieve CR or CRi after induction therapy, if his/her best response during or at completion of the induction treatment is less than CRi. Patients who achieved CR/CRi after remission induction and are not known to have relapsed or died will be censored at the date of last clinical assessment.
Time frame: Approximately up to 60 months following first patient enrollment
Overall survival (OS)
OS is defined as the time from date of randomization to date of death due to any cause. Patients still alive or lost to follow up will be censored at the time they were last known to be alive.
Time frame: Approximately up to 84 months following first patient enrollment
Relapse-free survival (RFS) after CR/CRi
RFS is defined as time from the date of achievement of CR/CRi until relapse or death from any cause, whichever comes first. Patients still in first CR/CRi and alive or lost to follow up will be censored at the date of last clinical assessment.
Time frame: Approximately up to 60 months following first patient enrollment
Cumulative incidence of relapse (CIR) after CR/CRi
CIR is measured from the date of achievement of CR/CRi until the date of relapse. Patients not known to have relapsed will be censored on the date of last clinical assessment. Patients who died without relapse will be counted as a competing cause of failure.
Time frame: Approximately up to 60 months following first patient enrollment
Cumulative incidence of death (CID) after CR/CRi
CID is measured from the date of achievement of CR/CRi until the date of death from any cause. Patients not known to have died will be censored on the date they were last known to be alive. Patients who experienced relapse in CR/CRi will be counted as competing cause of failure.
Time frame: Approximately up to 60 months following first patient enrollment
Complete remission without minimal residual disease (CRMRD-) rate after induction cycle 2
CRMRD- rate is defined as the percentage of patients who achieved CR or CRi with no evidence of MRD in bone marrow
Time frame: Approximately up to 60 months following first patient enrollment
Frequency and severity of adverse events according to CTCAE version 5.0
Adverse events will be evaluated using the National Cancer Institute's Common Terminology Criteria for AEs (CTCAE) version 5.0
Time frame: Continuously throughout the study, starting from informed consent until 30 days following the last administration of any study drug
CR/CRi rates after induction cycle 1 and 2
CR and CRi are determined by the Investigator based on the European LeukemiaNet (ELN2017) recommended response criteria
Time frame: Approximately up to 60 months following first patient enrollment
CR/CRi rate after remission induction (i.e., CR or CRi as best response during or at completion of induction therapy)
CR+CRi rate after remission induction is defined as the percentage of patients with best response of CR or CRi during or at completion of induction therapy
Time frame: Approximately up to 60 months following first patient enrollment
Time to hematopoietic recovery after each chemotherapy treatment cycle
Time to hematopoietic recovery is defined as the time from the start of the cycle until recovery
Time frame: Approximately up to 60 months following first patient enrollment
EQ-5D-5L visual analogue scale (VAS)
The EQ-5D-5L is a 5 item questionnaire that assesses 5 domains including mobility, self-care, usual activities, pain/discomfort and anxiety/depression plus a visual analog scale rating "health today". Each domain has 5 levels. Each level has a 1 digit number expressing the level selected for that dimension. These levels are summed up and the self-rated health is recorded on a 20 cm vertical, visual analogue scale, with endpoints labelled 'the best health you can imagine' and 'the worst health you can imagine'.
Time frame: At entry, 1st day of maintenance, every 3 months during the first year of maintenance, every 6 months during the second year of maintenance until relapse or treatment discontinuation (approximately up to 84 months following first patient enrollment)
EORTC-QLQ-C30 global health status/QoL scale.
The EORTC QLQ-C30 is a 30-item questionnaire that assesses 5 functional subdomains (physical functioning, role functioning, emotional functioning, cognitive functioning and social functioning), 1 global health status, 3 symptom subdomains (fatigue, nausea and vomiting and pain) and 6 single items (dyspnea, insomnia, appetite loss, constipation, diarrhea, and financial difficulties). All of the scales and single-item measures range in score from 0 to 100. A high scale score represents a higher response level. Estimate the average of the items that contribute to the scale; this is the raw score. a higher score represents a higher ("better") level of functioning, or a higher ("worse") level of symptoms.
Time frame: At entry, 1st day of maintenance, every 3 months during the first year of maintenance, every 6 months during the second year of maintenance until relapse or treatment discontinuation (approximately up to 84 months following first patient enrollment)

Started Mar 2019 (actual). Primary completion is estimated for Apr 2027, 97 months after the start.
Of 78 non-industry phase 3 interventional studies under Leukemia, Myeloid, Acute, half reached primary completion within 87 months of starting (the median), counting those still running; a quarter within 66 and three quarters within 111. This study's planned 97 months is above that.
Counting every sponsor, half of 120 studies reached it within 74 months; a quarter within 39 and three quarters within 99.
