Study Summary

The standard treatment for patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) with an abnormality in the IDH1 gene, who are not eligible for intensive chemotherapy, is a combination of ivosidenib and azacitidine. In this study it is investigated whether adding venetoclax to the standard treatment can improve the outcome of the treatment of this specific form of AML. The safety is investigated and how well it works. In order to properly assess the value of venetoclax, the effect of venetoclax is compared with the effect of a placebo. A placebo is a product without an active ingredient, a 'fake medicinal product'.

Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion

Inclusion Criteria:

  1. Patient with newly diagnosed IDH1-mutated AML, or IDH1-mutated MDS/AML according tothe 2022 International Consensus Classification (Appendix A). Patients with AML withboth IDH1 and IDH2 mutation are eligible as well. Of note: in case both NPM1 andIDH1 are mutated and both EVOLVE-1 (HO173/AMLSG 3423/ACT-HOV-AML-001) and EVOLVE-2 (HO177/AMLSG 35-24/ACT-HOV-AML-002are open for inclusion at your site, then patientscan only be included in the EVOLVE-1 trial (HO173)

  2. Central confirmation of IDH1 mutation in one of the dedicated central geneticlaboratories.

  1. Female patients :
  • of nonchildbearing potential must be: o postmenopausal (defined as at least 1year without any menses). o documented surgically sterile (e.g. documentedhysterectomy, bilateral oophorectomy or bilateral salpingectomy) or statusposthysterectomy (at least 1 month prior to screening).

Men must use a latex condom during any sexual contact with women of childbearingpotential (WOCBP), even if they have undergone a successful vasectomy and must agreeto avoid to father a child (while on therapy and for 6 months after the final studydrug administration).
