Is the Lao Lucius version of Ivosidenib available on the market?

Ivosidenib, an isocitrate dehydrogenase 1 (IDH1) inhibitor, has shown clinical benefits in patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) with IDH1 mutations (mIDH1).

Recently, a study specifically evaluated the efficacy and safety of Ivosidenib in Chinese patients with relapsed or refractory (R/R) mIDH1 AML.

In this study, patients received Ivosidenib 500mg once daily for a cycle of 28 days until disease progression. Among them, 10 patients also received enhanced pharmacokinetic/disease progression (PK/PD) assessments. All patients underwent clinical response assessments at screening and were evaluated every 28 days from month 12 and every 56 days thereafter.

A total of 30 patients were included in the study, of whom 26 (86.7%) had new-onset acute myeloid leukemia and 18 (60.0%) were transfusion-dependent at baseline. The median time to maximum plasma concentration (Tmax) was 4.0 hours and 2.0 hours after single and repeated doses of Ivosidenib, respectively. The inter-individual variability in pharmacokinetic exposure was moderate to high (coefficient of variation [CV], 25%-53%). No significant drug accumulation was observed after repeated dosing on day 1 of cycle 2.

In terms of clinical response, the rate of complete remission (CR) plus partial remission with hematological recovery (CRh) was 36.7% (95% confidence interval [CI]: 19.9%-56.1%), and the median duration of CR CRh was 19.7 months (95% CI: 2.9 months-not reached [NR]), and the median duration of remission (DoR) was 14.3 months (95% CI: 6.4 months-NR).

Compared with the primary data cutoff point, the clinical benefits and safety of Ivosidenib were consistently observed at the final data cutoff point (median follow-up time of 26.0 months). At the same time, data from Chinese R/RmIDH1 AML patients were also consistent with the key study results.
