Comparing New Treatments for People With Newly Diagnosed Acute Myeloid Leukemia That Has an IDH2 Gene Change (A MyeloMATCH Treatment Trial)

United States, Puerto Rico93 participantsStarted 2025-05-16

Plain-language summary

This phase II MyeloMATCH treatment trial studies how well ASTX727 and venetoclax plus enasidenib works compared to ASTX727 and venetoclax alone for the treatment of older patients with newly diagnosed acute myeloid leukemia (AML) or younger patients who are considered unfit for standard treatment, and who have an abnormal change (mutation) in the IDH2 gene. This gene mutation can cause AML to grow and spread. This trial is being done to see if adding enasidenib to the usual treatment can help more patients with the IDH2 gene get rid of AML. ASTX727 is a fixed-dose formulation of two drugs, cedazuridine and decitabine. Cedazuridine is in a class of medications called cytidine deaminase inhibitors. It prevents the breakdown of decitabine, making it more available in the body so that decitabine will have a greater effect. Decitabine is in a class of medications called hypomethylation agents. It works by helping the bone marrow produce normal blood cells and by killing abnormal cells in the bone marrow. Venetoclax is in a class of medications called B-cell lymphoma-2 (BCL-2) inhibitors. It may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking Bcl-2, a protein needed for cancer cell survival. Enasidenib works by stopping the growth and spread of tumor cells that have the IDH2 mutation. Giving ASTX727 and venetoclax plus enasidenib may work better in treating AML patients with the IDH2 mutation.

Inclusion Criteria: * Participants must have been registered to the MYELOMATCH Master Screening and Reassessment Protocol prior to consenting to this study. Participants must have disease with a detectable IDH2 mutation based on central testing through the MYELOMATCH and be assigned to this clinical trial via MATCHBox prior to registration to this study * Note: Pre-enrollment/diagnosis labs must have already been performed under MYELOMATCH * Participants must have newly diagnosed, untreated acute myeloid leukemia (AML) defined by having ≥ 20% blasts in the bone marrow and/or peripheral blood, excluding acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL) with PML-RARA * Participants must not be receiving or planning to receive any other investigational agents while on protocol therapy * Participants must not have received prior therapy for AML or myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) and/or myeloproliferative neoplasm (MPN) with the exception of hydroxyurea, all-trans retinoic acid (ATRA), colony-stimulating factors, erythropoiesis-stimulating agents, immunosuppressive therapy, intrathecal chemotherapy, a single dose of cytarabine for cytoreduction, and/or leukapheresis * Participants must not be currently receiving any cytarabine-containing therapy other than up to 1 g/m\^2 of cytarabine, which is allowed for urgent cytoreduction. The use of prior hydroxyurea, all-trans retinoic acid (ATRA), BCR-ABL directed tyrosine kinase inhibitor, erythropoiesis-stimulating agent, thrombopoietin receptor ago…

Questions worth asking your doctor

Bring these to your next appointment. They're a starting point for a shared conversation — not a sign you qualify or a recommendation to enrol.

1Based on my diagnosis and history, is this trial worth exploring for me — or is there a standard treatment we should try first?
2What does this trial's phase tell us about how much is already known about its safety and benefit?
3What would taking part actually involve for me — visits, tests, time, and travel?
4What are the known and possible risks or side effects I should weigh, and how would they be monitored?
5If this trial isn't the right fit, what other options or trials would you suggest I look into?

Generated to help you prepare — always confirm anything about your own eligibility and care with the study team and your doctor.

Questions for the trial coordinator

The trial coordinator is the person who runs the study day to day. These cover the practical side — logistics, costs, and what taking part would actually mean for your life. The study team confirms whether you meet the criteria; these are questions to ask, not a sign you qualify.

1What does taking part actually involve week to week — how many visits, where, and how long does each one take?
2What costs are covered by the study, and what might I have to pay for myself, including travel, parking, or time off work?
3What happens during screening, and what happens if the study team confirms I don't meet the criteria after those tests?
4Who pays for the scans, blood work, and other tests the trial requires — the study, my insurance, or me?
5How will being in the trial affect my regular care, and will my own doctor stay informed and involved?
6Can I leave the trial at any point if I change my mind, and what would happen to my care if I do?

A starting point for the conversation — always confirm anything about your own eligibility, costs, and care with the study team and your doctor.
