Abstract
ABSTRACT Introduction: Cholangiocarcinomas (CCAs) are rare and heterogeneous malignancies associated with poor prognosis, with most of the patients presenting with advanced disease at diagnosis. The recent advent of molecular profiling has led to the identification of several druggable genetic aberrations, and among these, there is an increasing interest in isocitrate dehydrogenase-1 (IDH-1) mutations, with the IDH-1 inhibitor ivosidenib that has reported interesting results in advanced CCA patients. Areas covered: Herein, we will critically discuss the current state of the art of ivosidenib in IDH-mutant CCA, especially focusing on efficacy and safety results of recent trials assessing this IDH-1 inhibitor. Expert opinion: According to the results of phase I studies and the recently published ClarIDHy phase III trial, the IDH-1 inhibitor ivosidenib seems to be associated with a manageable safety profile and interesting antitumor efficacy. In particular, the ClarIDHy showed that ivosidenib treatment reported improved progression-free survival (PFS) compared to placebo in previously treated patients, with median PFS of 2.7 and 1.4 months, respectively. However, several questions remain unanswered and the effective impact of ivosidenib in IDH-mutant CCA remains open.
期刊介绍:
Expert Review of Precision Medicine and Drug Development publishes primarily review articles covering the development and clinical application of medicine to be used in a personalized therapy setting; in addition, the journal also publishes original research and commentary-style articles. In an era where medicine is recognizing that a one-size-fits-all approach is not always appropriate, it has become necessary to identify patients responsive to treatments and treat patient populations using a tailored approach. Areas covered include: Development and application of drugs targeted to specific genotypes and populations, as well as advanced diagnostic technologies and significant biomarkers that aid in this. Clinical trials and case studies within personalized therapy and drug development. Screening, prediction and prevention of disease, prediction of adverse events, treatment monitoring, effects of metabolomics and microbiomics on treatment. Secondary population research, genome-wide association studies, disease–gene association studies, personal genome technologies. Ethical and cost–benefit issues, the impact to healthcare and business infrastructure, and regulatory issues.
