Vorasidenib data from the INDIGO Phase 3 trial adds to the body of evidence on the impact of targeting the IDH mutation in cancer with the first major advancement in low-grade glioma in 23 years
Additional new data for TIBSOVO® (ivosidenib) continues to build on body of evidence behind targeted IDH inhibition in hard-to-treat cancers, including acute myeloid leukemia (AML) and chondrosarcoma
BOSTON and PARIS, May 25, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Servier, a leader in oncology committed to bringing the promise of tomorrow to the patients we serve, will showcase new data across its robust oncology portfolio at the American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) annual meeting June 2-6, 2023. These latest data, including a plenary session selection, underscore the breadth of Servier's oncology pipeline and portfolio and the company's commitment to improving outcomes for difficult and hard-to-treat cancers with high unmet medical needs.
Among the data to be presented is a late breaking abstract featuring the results from the Phase 3 INDIGO study of vorasidenib in patients with residual or recurrent grade 2 IDH-mutant glioma. These data represent the first study to show clinically meaningful and statistically significant improvements in low-grade glioma in 23 years and was accepted as one of only four presentations for a plenary session to take place on June 4, 2023 from 1:00 – 4:00 p.m. C.T.
"Servier is leading the scientific research with IDH inhibition across a variety of difficult to treat cancers, and this year at ASCO, we are excited to showcase data that has the potential to shift the treatment paradigm for patients with IDH-mutant glioma," said Susan Pandya, M.D., Head of Cancer Metabolism Global Development Oncology & Immuno-Oncology, Servier. "IDH mutations are recognized as drivers of disease biology in patients with a broad range of cancers, including glioma, and the distinguishing selection of the Phase 3 INDIGO trial for a plenary session is a testament to the groundbreaking research that is yielding long-awaited progress for glioma patients."
Additional research to be presented includes:
"Through a persistent focus on smart science, we are coming into ASCO with incredible momentum and exciting data from across our diversified portfolio," said Philippe Gonnard, M.D., Executive Vice President, Global Product Strategy at Servier. "Building off the recent European Commission approval for TIBSOVO in certain patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) and cholangiocarcinoma, we look forward to showcasing updated overall survival for TIBSOVO in patients with AML, as well as sharing the positive results from our Phase 3 INDIGO study of vorasidenib in residual/recurrent grade 2 IDH-mutant diffuse glioma - marking the first major advancement in low-grade glioma in more than two decades and cementing our leadership in IDH inhibition."

TIBSOVO IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION AND INDICATION FOR U.S. PATIENTS
INDICATIONS
TIBSOVO is an isocitrate dehydrogenase-1 (IDH1) inhibitor indicated for patients with a susceptible IDH1 mutation as detected by an FDA-approved test with:
Newly Diagnosed Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML)
Relapsed or Refractory AML
Locally Advanced or Metastatic Cholangiocarcinoma
IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
WARNING: DIFFERENTIATION SYNDROME IN AML |
WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS
Differentiation Syndrome in AML: In the combination study AG120-C-009, 15% (11/71) of patients with newly diagnosed AML treated with TIBSOVO plus azacitidine experienced differentiation syndrome. Differentiation syndrome is associated with rapid proliferation and differentiation of myeloid cells and may be life-threatening or fatal. Symptoms of differentiation syndrome in patients treated with TIBSOVO included noninfectious leukocytosis, peripheral edema, pyrexia, dyspnea, pleural effusion, hypotension, hypoxia, pulmonary edema, pneumonitis, pericardial effusion, rash, fluid overload, tumor lysis syndrome, and creatinine increased. Of the 11 patients with newly diagnosed AML who experienced differentiation syndrome with TIBSOVO plus azacitidine, 8 (73%) recovered. Differentiation syndrome occurred as early as 3 days after start of therapy and during the first month on treatment.
In the monotherapy clinical trial AG120-C-001, 25% (7/28) of patients with newly diagnosed AML and 19% (34/179) of patients with relapsed or refractory AML treated with TIBSOVO experienced differentiation syndrome. Of the 7 patients with newly diagnosed AML who experienced differentiation syndrome, 6 (86%) patients recovered. Of the 34 patients with relapsed or refractory AML who experienced differentiation syndrome, 27 (79%) patients recovered after treatment or after dose interruption of TIBSOVO. Differentiation syndrome occurred as early as 1 day and up to 3 months after TIBSOVO initiation and has been observed with or without concomitant leukocytosis.
If differentiation syndrome is suspected, initiate dexamethasone 10 mg IV every 12 hours (or an equivalent dose of an alternative oral or IV corticosteroid) and hemodynamic monitoring until improvement. If concomitant noninfectious leukocytosis is observed, initiate treatment with hydroxyurea or leukapheresis, as clinically indicated. Taper corticosteroids and hydroxyurea after resolution of symptoms and administer corticosteroids for a minimum of 3 days. Symptoms of differentiation syndrome may recur with premature discontinuation of corticosteroid and/or hydroxyurea treatment. If severe signs and/or symptoms persist for more than 48 hours after initiation of corticosteroids, interrupt TIBSOVO until signs and symptoms are no longer severe.
QTc Interval Prolongation: Patients treated with TIBSOVO can develop QT (QTc) prolongation and ventricular arrhythmias. Concomitant use of TIBSOVO with drugs known to prolong the QTc interval (e.g., anti-arrhythmic medicines, fluoroquinolones, triazole anti–fungals, 5–HT3 receptor antagonists) and CYP3A4 inhibitors may increase the risk of QTc interval prolongation. Conduct monitoring of electrocardiograms (ECGs) and electrolytes. In patients with congenital long QTc syndrome, congestive heart failure, or electrolyte abnormalities, or in those who are taking medications known to prolong the QTc interval, more frequent monitoring may be necessary.
Interrupt TIBSOVO if QTc increases to greater than 480 msec and less than 500 msec. Interrupt and reduce TIBSOVO if QTc increases to greater than 500 msec. Permanently discontinue TIBSOVO in patients who develop QTc interval prolongation with signs or symptoms of life-threatening arrhythmia.
Guillain-Barré Syndrome: Guillain-Barré syndrome can develop in patients treated with TIBSOVO. Monitor patients taking TIBSOVO for onset of new signs or symptoms of motor and/or sensory neuropathy such as unilateral or bilateral weakness, sensory alterations, paresthesias, or difficulty breathing. Permanently discontinue TIBSOVO in patients who are diagnosed with Guillain-Barré syndrome.
ADVERSE REACTIONS
DRUG INTERACTIONS
Strong or Moderate CYP3A4 Inhibitors: Reduce TIBSOVO dose with strong CYP3A4 inhibitors. Monitor patients for increased risk of QTc interval prolongation.
Strong CYP3A4 Inducers: Avoid concomitant use with TIBSOVO.
Sensitive CYP3A4 Substrates: Avoid concomitant use with TIBSOVO.
QTc Prolonging Drugs: Avoid concomitant use with TIBSOVO. If co-administration is unavoidable, monitor patients for increased risk of QTc interval prolongation.
LACTATION
Because many drugs are excreted in human milk and because of the potential for adverse reactions in breastfed children, advise women not to breastfeed during treatment with TIBSOVO and for 1 month after the last dose.
