What is Ivosidenib used for?
Ivosidenib is a type of targeted therapy that is used to treat adults with acute myeloid leukemia (AML), myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS), or bile duct cancer (cholangiocarcinoma).
How does Ivosidenib work?
Ivosidenib is an IDH1 inhibitor. It blocks the mutated version of the IDH1 protein from working.
For IDH1-mutated AML and MDS:
- Stopping mutated IDH1 from working helps prevent the body from making too many abnormal and immature white blood cells. This helps treat AML and MDS.
- For IDH1-mutated bile duct cancer (cholangiocarcinoma): Blocking mutated IDH1 stops the cancer cells from growing and spreading. This helps treat bile duct cancer.
