Summary

This trial is testing if enasidenib is a safe and effective maintenance therapy for patients with acute myeloid leukemia who have had a donor stem cell transplant.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) and an IDH2 mutation who've had a donor stem cell transplant. They must not be pregnant, have good organ function, no severe active infections or other cancers, and agree to birth control. People with Gilbert's disease or uncontrolled illnesses can't join.
What is being tested?
Enasidenib Mesylate is being tested as a maintenance therapy for AML patients post-stem cell transplant. The study aims to see if this drug can prevent cancer growth by inhibiting certain enzymes needed by cancer cells.
What are the potential side effects?
Possible side effects of Enasidenib include liver problems, blood disorders, fatigue, nausea, diarrhea, joint pain and may affect heart rhythm which will be closely monitored during the trial.
