mutations occur in approximately 13% of intrahepatic cholangiocarcinomas (IHCCs). The oral, targeted, mutant IDH1 (mIDH1) inhibitor ivosidenib (AG-120) suppresses production of the oncometabolite D-2-hydroxyglutarate, promoting disease stabilization and improved progression-free survival (PFS) in m IHCC. Harnessing matched baseline and on-treatment biopsies, we investigate the potential mechanisms underlying ivosidenib's efficacy. mIDH1 inhibition leads to decreased cytoplasm and expression of hepatocyte lineage markers in patients with prolonged PFS. These findings are accompanied by downregulation of biliary fate, cell cycle progression and AKT pathway activity. Ivosidenib stimulates a hepatocyte differentiation program in m IHCC, a phenotype associated with clinical benefit. mIDH1 inhibition could be a paradigm for differentiation-based therapy in solid tumors.

Mutations in isocitrate dehydrogenase-1 (IDH1) are recurrent in several malignancies and prevalent in acute myeloid leukemia (AML). Olutasidenib and ivosidenib are inhibitors that target mutant IDH1 (mIDH1) and are FDA approved for the treatment of patients with mIDH1 AML. Olutasidenib and ivosidenib were identified through unique molecular screens and thus are structurally very different molecules.

Background And Objective: The identification of mutation hot spots in the isocitrate dehydrogenase (IDH) genes is one of the most important cancer genome-wide sequencing discoveries with relevant impact in the treatment of some orphan tumors. These genes were mostly found mutated in lower-grade gliomas (LGGs), acute myeloid leukaemia (AML), myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) and myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPNs) and in cholangiocarcinoma. This aberrant genomic condition represents a therapeutic target of great interest in cancer research, especially in AML, given the limitations of currently approved therapies in this field.

Mutations of isocitrate dehydrogenase 1 (IDH1) are key biomarkers for glioma classification, but current methods for detection of mutated IDH1 (mIDH1) require invasive tissue sampling and cannot be used for longitudinal studies. Positron emission tomography (PET) imaging with mIDH1-selective radioligands is a promising alternative approach that could enable non-invasive assessment of the IDH status. In the present work, we developed efficient protocols for the preparation of four F-labeled derivatives of the mIDH1-selective inhibitor olutasidenib.

Article Synopsis
  • The gene IDH1 often changes in many cancers, leading to a harmful substance that messes with the body's natural defenses.
  • Tumors with this change often keep immune cells out, but blocking the mutant IDH1 can help the body's immune system attack the cancer.
  • The study shows that the mutant IDH1 silences certain genes that would usually help the immune system work, but stopping this mutation can help reactivate those genes and boost immunity against tumors.

Article Synopsis
  • IDH-mutant gliomas are aggressive brain tumors primarily impacting adults under 55, and standard treatments often fail to prevent recurrence.
  • The IDH mutation drives cancer growth through the oncometabolite 2-hydroxyglutarate, making it a promising target for new therapies.
  • Recent trials of IDH inhibitors, like vorasidenib, show potential for treating low-grade gliomas, but further research is needed to optimize treatment strategies.
