Learning objective: After reading this article, learners will be able to cite a new development in the treatment of AML.


On December 1, 2022, olutasidenib, an oral, small molecule, IDH1 inhibitor was approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for the treatment of patients with IDH1-mutated relapsed or refractory (R/R) acute myeloid leukemia (AML).1

This approval is based on results from a phase II study (NCT02719574) that has previously been reported on by the AML Hub. Briefly, the study included 147 adult patients with R/R AML who were treated with oral olutasidenib at a dose of 150 mg, twice daily.1

  • A total of 35% of patients achieved either complete remission (CR) or complete remission with partial hematological recovery (CRh).1
  • The median time to CR+CRh was 1.9 months and the median duration of CR+CRh was 25.9 months.1
  • In 86 patients who were red blood cell and/or platelet dependent at baseline, 34% became transfusion independent.1
  • In 61 patients who were transfusion independent at baseline, 64% remained transfusion independent during any 56-day post-baseline period.1

Olutasidenib was well tolerated with an acceptable safety profile. The most common adverse reactions included nausea, fatigue/malaise, arthralgia, constipation, leukocytosis, dyspnea, fever, rash, mucositis, diarrhea, and transaminitis. Olutasidenib has a boxed warning regarding the risk of differentiation syndrome.1
