Real-World Data on Ivosidenib in Patients with Previously Treated Isocitrate Dehydrogenase 1-Mutated Intrahepatic Cholangiocarcinomas: An Early Exploratory Analysis

Background The results of the phase III ClarIDHy trial have led to US FDA approval of ivosidenib as a therapeutic option for patients with locally advanced or metastatic cholangiocarcinoma (CCA) harboring isocitrate dehydrogenase 1 (IDH1) mutations. Objective In this study, we report the first real-world experience including eight patients with previously treated locally advanced or metastatic IDH1-mutated CCA treated with ivosidenib. Patients and Methods Patients treated with ivosidenib as second and third line for advanced CCA were collected with the aim of evaluating the survival outcomes. A molecular study has been performed by next-generation sequencing assay. Results After a median follow up of 9.4 months, median progression-free survival (PFS) from the start of treatment with ivosidenib was 4.4 months (95% confidence interval [CI] 3.3-5.8), whereas median overall survival (OS) was not reached. The disease control rate was 62.5%, with two patients achieving a partial response (25%); 12.5% of patients experienced a treatment-related adverse event (AE), but no grade 3 or higher AEs were reported. The observed grade 2 AEs were prolonged QT interval and hypomagnesemia (25% of the sample). Molecular profiling was performed on six of eight patients, highlighting TP53, BAP1, CDKN2A and CDKN2B as the most common co-altered genes in these patients. Conclusion Efficacy outcomes were consistent with those reported in the ClarIDHy trial. Real-world experiences on larger samples are needed in order to confirm our results.
