Full Title
A Pilot Study of Enasidenib for Patients with Clonal Cytopenia of Undetermined Significance and Mutations in IDH2Purpose
The purpose of this study is to see how the drug enasidenib works in people with a condition called “clonal cytopenia of undetermined significance” (CCUS). People with CCUS have low levels of certain kinds of blood cells, but it is not known why. Some of these blood cells have a mutation in a gene called IDH2. They may have a higher chance of developing a precancerous condition called myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) or a blood cancer called acute myeloid leukemia (AML).
Enasidenib blocks the mutated IDH2 protein. It is already used to treat people with AML with an IDH2 mutation. In this study, researchers are assessing the safety and effectiveness of enasidenib in people with CCUS and IDH2 mutations. They hope that enasidenib may improve blood cell counts. Enasidenib is a tablet that is taken orally (by mouth).
