Study of Orally Administered Enasidenib (AG-221) in Adults With Advanced Solid Tumors, Including Glioma, or Angioimmunoblastic T-cell Lymphoma, With an IDH2 Mutation

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety, pharmacokinetics, and clinical activity of enasidenib in adults with advanced solid tumors, including glioma, or with angioimmunoblastic T-cell lymphoma (AITL), with an isocitrate dehydrogenase-2 (IDH2) mutation.

Key information

About this study

The first portion of the study is a dose escalation phase where cohorts of patients will receive ascending oral doses of enasidenib to determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) and/or the recommended Phase 2 dose. The second portion of the study is a planned dose expansion phase where three cohorts of patients will receive enasidenib to further evaluate the safety, tolerability, and clinical activity. Anticipated time on study treatment is until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity occurs.

Enrollment into the AG221-C-003 study was closed following enrollment of the dose escalation Cohort 4 (650 mg QD) in order to focus resources on the development of other pipeline IDH inhibitors in solid tumors, gliomas, and lymphoma; it was not due to safety reasons. Participants receiving enasidenib at the time of study closure were to be allowed to continue treatment until disease progression or the development of unacceptable toxicity, as outlined in the study protocol.

Treatment and study plan

Enasidenib

Drug

Enasidenib tablets administered orally once a day in 28-day treatment cycles until disease progression or unacceptable toxicities.

Other names: AG-221, IDHIFA®

Primary outcomes

  1. Number of Participants With Treatment-emergent Adverse Events (TEAEs)

    Time frame: From first dose of study drug to 28 days after last dose; median (minimum, maximum) duration of exposure was 66 (8, 197) days across all cohorts.

    Treatment-emergent adverse events included any adverse events (AEs) occurring or worsening on or after the first dose of study drug and within 28 days after the last dose of the study drug. Severity was graded according to Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) v4.03 or according to the following scale: Grade 1= Mild AE, Grade 2= Moderate AE, Grade 3= Severe AE, Grade 4= Life-threatening or disabling AE, Grade 5= Fatal, death related to AE.

    A serious AE is any AE occurring at any dose that:

    • Resulted in death;
    • Was life-threatening;
    • Required or prolonged existing inpatient hospitalization;
    • Resulted in persistent or significant disability/incapacity;
    • Was a congenital anomaly/birth defect;
    • Constituted an important medical event.

    Relationship to study drug administration was determined by the investigator as not related, possibly related, or probably related; all AEs classified as possibly or probably related were considered treatment-related.

  2. Number of Participants With Dose-limiting Toxicities

    Time frame: Cycle 1 (28 days)

    Toxicities were graded and documented according to the National Cancer Institute (NCI) Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE), Version 4.03. A dose-limiting toxicity (DLT) was defined as an event considered related to enasidenib and meeting 1 of the following criteria:

    Non-hematologic:

    • All clinically significant non-hematologic toxicities CTCAE ≥ Grade 3, considered not related to underlying disease or intercurrent illness, with the exception of ≥ Grade 3 blood bilirubin increases in participants with a uridine diphosphate-glucuronosyltransferase 1 family, polypeptide A1 (UGT1A1) mutation. In participants with a UGT1A1 mutation, blood bilirubin increases of > 5 × upper limit of normal (ULN) were considered a DLT.

    Hematologic:

    • Drug-related, prolonged myelosuppression of ≥ Grade 4 neutropenia or thrombocytopenia lasting beyond Day 28 of Cycle 1 unless related to bone marrow involvement by AITL.
  3. Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) Performance Status at Each Visit

    Time frame: Baseline, Cycle 1 Day 15, Cycle 2 Day 1, Cycle 3 Day 1, Cycle 4 Day 1, Cycle 5 Day 1, and at end of treatment

    ECOG performance status is used by doctors and researchers to assess how a subjects disease is progressing, assess how the disease affects the daily living activities of the subject and determine appropriate treatment and prognosis.

    • 0 = Fully active (most favorable activity);
    • 1 = Restricted activity but ambulatory;
    • 2 = Ambulatory but unable to carry out work activities;
    • 3 = Limited self-care;
    • 4 = Completely disabled, no self-care (least favorable activity).
