Arm Type

Experimental

Experimental

Arm Label

Arm I (enasidenib, azacitidine)

Arm II (enasidenib)

Arm Description

Patients who are HMA-naive receive enasidenib PO QD on days 1-28 and azacitidine IV over 30-60 minutes or SC on days 1-7. Cycles repeat every 28 days in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

Patients relapsed and/or refractory to HMA therapy receive enasidenib PO QD on days 1-28. Cycles repeat every 28 days in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

Outcomes

Primary Outcome Measures

Incidence of adverse events
Will use the Bayesian method by Thall, Simon and Estey for toxicity monitoring. For purpose of toxicity monitoring, toxicity is defined as any grade 3 or higher treatment related-toxicities by Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events criteria.
Overall response rate
Defined as complete response (CR), partial response, and marrow CR assessed by International Working Group criteria. Will be estimated along with the 90% credible interval.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Event-free survival (EFS)
The Kaplan-Meier method will be used to estimate the probabilities of EFS. Log-rank tests will be used to compare among subgroups of patients in terms of EFS.
Overall survival (OS)
The Kaplan-Meier method will be used to estimate the probabilities of OS. Log-rank tests will be used to compare among subgroups of patients in terms of OS.
Anti-tumor activity
Will be summarized graphically and with descriptive statistics.
Pharmadynamics (PDn) markers
PDn markers will be summarized graphically and with descriptive statistics.
Drug exposure levels
Will be summarized graphically and with descriptive statistics.

5. Study Description

Brief Summary
This phase II trial studies the side effects and how well azacitidine and enasidenib work in treating patients with IDH2-mutant myelodysplastic syndrome. Azacitidine and enasidenib may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth.
Detailed Description
PRIMARY OBJECTIVES: I. To determine the safety and tolerability of enasidenib alone, and enasidenib in combination with azacitidine (AZA), for patients with isocitrate dehydrogenase 2 (IDH2) mutated myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS). II. To assess the efficacy of the combination of enasidenib + azacitidine in hypomethylating agent (HMA) naive subjects with IDH2-mutated MDS, and to assess the efficacy of enasidenib single-agent in subjects with IDH2-mutated MDS who are relapsed/refractory to HMA therapy. SECONDARY OBJECTIVES: I. To evaluate molecular and cellular markers that may be predictive of antitumor activity and/or resistance including evaluation of IDH2 variant allele fraction (VAF) levels during treatment and presence of co-occurring mutations. II. To assess overall survival, event-free survival and duration of response of enasidenib alone, and enasidenib in combination with azacitidine. EXPLORATORY OBJECTIVES: I. To assess changes in cellular differentiation and changes in deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) methylation profiles in IDH2-mutated MDS treated with enasidenib alone and with enasidenib + azacitidine. II. To evaluate quality of life (QOL) using an MDS-specific measure. OUTLINE: Patients are assigned to 1 of 2 arms. ARM I: Patients who are HMA-naive receive enasidenib orally (PO) once daily (QD) on days 1-28 and azacitidine intravenously (IV) oveer 30-60 minutes or subcutaneously (SC) on days 1-7. Cycles repeat every 28 days in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. ARM II: Patients relapsed and/or refractory to HMA therapy receive enasidenib PO QD on days 1-28. Cycles repeat every 28 days in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. After completion of study treatment, patients are followed up every 3 months for up to 3 years.
