In plain English

This study looks at adults newly diagnosed with acute myeloid leukaemia (AML), or a related blood cancer called MDS/AML, that has a change (mutation) in a gene called IDH1. It tests the drugs ivosidenib and azacitidine, with or without a third drug called venetoclax, in patients who cannot have intensive chemotherapy.

Who can take part

  • Newly diagnosed IDH1-mutated AML or MDS/AML, confirmed by a central genetic laboratory (people with both IDH1 and IDH2 changes may also join)
  • Age 18 or over, with no upper age limit
  • Not able to have intensive chemotherapy, for example because of age (75 or over), or health problems such as heart, lung, kidney or liver conditions
  • Expected to live at least 12 more weeks, as judged by the doctor
  • White blood cell count below a set level (a medicine called hydroxyurea may be used to bring it down before joining)
  • Adequate kidney and liver function
  • Not pregnant or breastfeeding, and agreeing to use contraception and avoid donating eggs or sperm during the study and for 6 months after treatment ends
  • Able to understand and willing to sign the informed consent form

Who may not be able to

  • Previous treatment for AML (hydroxyurea to control white cell counts is allowed; some earlier treatments for MDS are allowed)
  • Having acute promyelocytic leukaemia or AML with BCR-ABL1, or blast crisis of chronic myeloid leukaemia
  • Serious heart problems in the last 3 months, such as severe heart failure, heart attack, unstable angina or certain abnormal heart rhythms, or a long QT interval on the heart trace
  • Family history of sudden death or certain dangerous heart rhythm problems
  • Severe breathing disorders
  • Stroke or bleeding in the brain within the last 6 months
  • Signs that the leukaemia has spread to the brain or spinal cord
  • Active uncontrolled infection, including hepatitis B, hepatitis C or HIV (some treated infections are allowed)
  • Severe life-threatening leukaemia complications, such as uncontrolled bleeding or clotting problems
  • Conditions that stop you swallowing or absorbing tablets
  • Another current cancer (some minor skin and other cancers are allowed)
  • Live vaccines in the 30 days before joining (and during the study until 6 months after treatment)
  • Severe nervous system or mental health problems that affect the ability to give informed consent
  • Allergy or other reason you cannot take the study drugs
  • Taking part in other studies of leukaemia or experimental medicines
  • Taking dabigatran or certain other medicines that cannot be switched before starting (some medicines need monitoring)
  • Pregnancy, breastfeeding, or planning to become pregnant during the study
  • Anyone who was screened and found ineligible before cannot re-enter this study

About This Trial

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'.
