Ivosidenib for Bile Duct Cancer
(ProvIDHe Trial)
Trial Summary
The trial protocol does not specify if you need to stop taking your current medications. However, you cannot have received systemic cancer treatment or radiotherapy within 2 weeks before starting the trial, and certain other treatments within 4 weeks.
Ivosidenib has been shown to improve progression-free survival and overall survival in patients with advanced cholangiocarcinoma (a type of bile duct cancer) that have IDH1 mutations. In a phase III study, patients taking Ivosidenib lived longer without their cancer getting worse compared to those who took a placebo.
12345Ivosidenib is generally well tolerated in humans, with most side effects being mild, such as diarrhea, nausea, and fatigue. Serious side effects are rare, and the treatment is associated with a low rate of discontinuation due to toxicity, making it a safe option for patients with certain conditions.
12567Ivosidenib is unique because it specifically targets and inhibits mutant IDH1, a genetic mutation found in some bile duct cancers, which helps slow down cancer progression and improve survival. Unlike standard chemotherapy, it is an oral medication and is particularly beneficial for patients whose cancer has progressed after initial treatments.
