Study of AG-120 (Ivosidenib) vs. Placebo in Combination With Azacitidine in Participants With Previously Untreated Acute Myeloid Leukemia With an IDH1 Mutation

Study AG120-C-009 is a global, Phase 3, multicenter, double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled clinical trial to evaluate the efficacy and safety of AG-120 (ivosidenib) + azacitidine vs placebo + azacitidine in adult participants with previously untreated IDH1m AML who are considered appropriate candidates for non-intensive therapy. The primary endpoint is event-free survival (EFS). The key secondary efficacy endpoints are overall survival (OS), rate of complete remission (CR), rate of CR and complete remission with partial hematologic recovery (CRh), and overall response rate (ORR). Participants eligible for study treatment based on Screening assessments will be randomized 1:1 to receive oral AG-120 or matched placebo, both administered in combination with subcutaneous (SC) or intravenous (IV) azacitidine. An estimated 200 participants will take part in the study.

  • Be willing to complete Quality of Life assessments during the study
  • If female with reproductive potential, must have a negative serum pregnancy test prior to the start of study therapy. Females of reproductive potential, as well as fertile men and their female partners of reproductive potential, must agree to use 2 effective forms of contraception.

Exclusion criteria

  • Are candidates for and willing to receive intensive induction chemotherapy (IC) for their AML.
  • Have received any prior treatment for AML with the exception of hydroxyurea.
  • Have received a hypomethylating agent for myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS).
  • Participants who had previously received an experimental agent for MDS may not be randomized until a washout period has elapsed since the last dose of that agent.
  • Have received prior treatment with an IDH1 inhibitor.
  • Have a known hypersensitivity to any of the components of AG-120, matched placebo, or azacitidine.
  • Are female and pregnant or breastfeeding.

  • Have a prior history of cancer other than MDS or myeloproliferative disorder, unless the participant has been free of the disease for ≥ 1 year prior to the start of study treatment.
  • Have had significant active cardiac disease within 6 months prior to the start of the study treatment.
  • Have any condition that increases the risk of abnormal ECG or cardiac arrhythmia.
  • Have a condition that limits the ingestion or absorption of drugs administered by mouth.
  • Have uncontrolled hypertension (systolic blood pressure [BP] > 180 mmHg or diastolic BP > 100 mmHg).
  • Have clinical symptoms suggestive of active central nervous system (CNS) leukemia or known CNS leukemia.
  • Have immediate, life-threatening, severe complications of leukemia, such as uncontrolled bleeding, pneumonia with hypoxia or sepsis, and/or disseminated intravascular coagulation.
  • Have any other medical or psychological condition deemed by the Investigator to be likely to interfere with the participant's ability to give informed consent or participate in the study.
  • Are taking medications that are known to prolong the QT interval unless they can be transferred to other medications within ≥5 half-lives prior to dosing, or unless the medications can be properly monitored during the study. (If equivalent medication is not available, heart rate corrected QT interval [QTc] will be closely monitored.)

Primary outcomes

  1. Event-Free Survival (EFS)

    Time frame: Up to Week 24

    EFS was defined as the time from randomization until treatment failure, relapse from remission, or death from any cause, whichever occurs first. Treatment failure was defined as failure to achieve complete remission (CR) by Week 24. CR: Bone marrow blasts <5% and no Auer rods; absence of extramedullary disease; Absolute neutrophil count (ANC) ≥1.0 × 10^9 per litre (10^9/L) (1000 per microlitre [1000/μL]); platelet count ≥100 × 10^9/L (100,000/μL); independence of red blood cell transfusions. Participants who had an EFS event (relapse or death) after, 2 or more missing disease assessments were censored at the last adequate disease assessment documenting no relapse before the missing assessments. The reported data represents the Kaplan-Meier median value.

Secondary outcomes

  1. Complete Remission Rate (CR Rate)

    Time frame: Up to approximately 52 months

    CR rate is defined as the proportion of participants who achieve a CR. A Cochran-Mantel-Haenszel (CMH) test will be used to compare CR rate between the 2 treatment arms.

  2. Overall Survival (OS)

    Time frame: Up to approximately 52 months

    OS is defined as the time from date of randomization to the date of death due to any cause. Kaplan-Meier (KM) curves and KM estimates of OS will be presented for each treatment arm.

  3. CR + Complete Remission With Partial Hematologic (CRh) Rate

    Time frame: Up to approximately 52 months

    CR + CRh rate is defined as the proportion of participants who achieve a CR or CRh. CRh is defined as a CR with partial recovery of peripheral blood counts (less than 5% bone marrow blasts, absolute neutrophil count (ANC) greater than 0.5 × 10^9/liter (L) 500/microliter (μL)], and platelets greater than 50 × 10^9/L [50,000/μL]). A CMH test will be used to compare the CR + CRh rate between the 2 treatment arms.

    ORR is defined as the rate of CR, CR with incomplete hematologic recovery (CRi) (including CR with incomplete platelet recovery [CRp]), partial remission (PR), and morphologic leukemia-free state (MLFS). The best response is calculated using the following hierarchy: CR, followed by CRi (including CRp), followed by PR and MLFS. A summary of best response by treatment arm will be produced. A CMH test will be used to compare ORR between the 2 treatment arms.

  5. CR + CRi (Including CRp) Rate

    Time frame: Up to approximately 52 months

    The CR + CRi (including CRp) rate is defined as the proportion of participants who achieve a CR or CRi (including CRp). A CMH test will be used to compare the CR + CRi (including CRp) rate between the 2 treatment arms.

  6. Duration of CR (DOCR)

    Time frame: Up to approximately 52 months

    DOCR will be calculated as the date of the first occurrence of CR to the date of first documented disease relapse, or death. DOCR is only defined for participants who achieve a CR.

    An SAE is defined as an untoward medical occurrence, significant hazard, contraindication, side effect or precaution that at any dose: results in death, is life-threatening, required in-patient hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization, results in persistent or significant disability/incapacity, is a congenital anomaly/birth defect or is medically significant.

  22. Percentage of Participants With Adverse Events Leading to Discontinuation or Death

    Time frame: Up to approximately 52 months

    An AE is defined as any untoward medical occurrence in a clinical investigation participant administered an investigational medicinal product; it does not necessarily have to have a causal relationship with this treatment.

    Time frame: Up to approximately 52 months

    The EORTC QLQ-C30 questionnaire measures quality of life and consists of 30 questions that are incorporated into 5 functional domains (physical, role, cognitive, emotional, and social); a global health status/global quality of life; 3 symptom scales (fatigue, pain, and nausea and vomiting); and 6 single items that assess additional symptoms (dyspnea, appetite loss, sleep disturbance, constipation, and diarrhea) and the perceived financial burden of treatment experienced by participants with cancer.

  28. Change From Baseline in the EORTC EQ-5D-5L Questionnaire

    Time frame: Up to approximately 52 months

    The EORTC EQ-5D-5L questionnaire measures quality of life and spans 5 dimensions, including mobility, self-care, usual activities, pain/discomfort, and anxiety/depression, which are used to build a composite of the participant's health status.
