Abstract
Purpose: The development of targeted therapeutics has revolutionized treatment for elderly patients with AML. Two doublet regimens are approved in the frontline setting for intensive chemotherapy (IC)-ineligible AML: venetoclax (VEN) in combination with hypomethylating agent (HMA) therapy and azacitidine (AZA) plus ivosidenib (IVO) specifically for IDH1-mutated AML. Although both regimens have improved AML outcomes, most patients will either not respond to frontline therapy or relapse, with dismal salvage outcomes.
Methods: We herein report on 60 newly diagnosed IC-ineligible patients treated at our institution with triplet regimens for isocitrate dehydrogenase (IDH)-mutant AML. Patients received either AZA + VEN + IVO on NCT03471260 (IDH1-mutated patients only) or oral decitabine + VEN + IVO/enasidenib on NCT04774393 (arms for IDH1- and IDH2-mutant disease, respectively).
Results: The triplet regimens were well tolerated with low early mortality (n = 1 [2%] in 60 days) and a similar safety profile to HMA + VEN and isocitrate dehydrogenase inhibitor doublet regimens. The composite complete remission rate (CRc) was 92% (55/60), with an overall response rate of 95% (57/60). With a median follow-up of 27.4 months, the median overall survival (OS) has not yet been reached. The 2-year OS was 69% with a 2-year cumulative incidence of relapse of 24%. Patients with treated-secondary AML (tsAML) experienced inferior outcomes with a CRc of 71% (12/17) and a 2-year OS of 34%; the 2-year OS was 84% in patients without tsAML. Nineteen patients (32%) transitioned to stem cell transplant, and 51% remain on study.
Conclusion: Given the excellent outcomes of IDH-triplet therapy for newly diagnosed, IC-ineligible IDH-mutant AML, further prospective studies comparing IDH-triplet versus IDH-doublet regimens are warranted.
