Indications & Dosage INDICATIONSAcute Myeloid LeukemiaIDHIFA is indicated for the treatment of adult patients with relapsed or refractory acute myeloid leukemia (AML) with an isocitrate dehydrogenase-2 (IDH2) mutation as detected by an FDA-approved test. DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATIONPatient SelectionSelect patients for the treatment of AML with IDHIFA based on the presence of IDH2 mutations in the blood or bone marrow [see INDICATIONS AND USAGE and Clinical Studies]. Information on FDA-approved tests for the detection of IDH2 mutations in AML is available at http://www.fda.gov/CompanionDiagnostics.Recommended DosageThe recommended dosage of IDHIFA is 100 mg taken orally once daily with or without food until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. For patients without disease progression or unacceptable toxicity, treat for a minimum of 6 months to allow time for clinical response.Do not split or crush IDHIFA tablets. Administer IDHIFA tablets orally about the same time each day. If a dose of IDHIFA is vomited, missed, or not taken at the usual time, administer the dose as soon as possible on the same day, and return to the normal schedule the following day.Monitoring And Dosage Modifications For ToxicitiesAssess blood counts and blood chemistries for leukocytosis and tumor lysis syndrome prior to the initiation of IDHIFA and monitor at a minimum of every 2 weeks for at least the first 3 months during treatment. Manage any abnormalities promptly [see ADVERSE REACTIONS].Interrupt dosing or reduce dose for toxicities. See Table 1 for dosage modification guidelines.Table 1: Dosage Modifications for IDHIFA-Related ToxicitiesAdverse ReactionRecommended ActionDifferentiation syndromeIf differentiation syndrome is suspected, administer systemic corticosteroids and initiate hemodynamic monitoring [see WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS].Interrupt IDHIFA if severe pulmonary symptoms requiring intubation or ventilator support, and/or renal dysfunction persist for more than 48 hours after initiation of corticosteroids [see WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS].Resume IDHIFA when signs and symptoms improve to Grade 2* or lower.Noninfectious leukocytosis (white blood cell [WBC] count greater than 30 x 109/L)Initiate treatment with hydroxyurea, as per standard institutional practices.Interrupt IDHIFA if leukocytosis is not improved with hydroxyurea, and then resume IDHIFA at 100 mg daily when WBC is less than 30 x 109/L.Elevation of bilirubin greater than 3 times the upper limit of normal (ULN) sustained for ≥2 weeks without elevated transaminases or other hepatic disordersReduce IDHIFA dose to 50 mg daily.Resume IDHIFA at 100 mg daily if bilirubin elevation resolves to less than 2 x ULN.Other Grade 3* or higher toxicity considered related to treatment including tumor lysis syndromeInterrupt IDHIFA until toxicity resolves to Grade 2* or lower.Resume IDHIFA at 50 mg daily; may increase to 100 mg daily if toxicities resolve to Grade 1* or lower.If Grade 3* or higher toxicity recurs, discontinue IDHIFA.*Grade 1 is mild, Grade 2 is moderate, Grade 3 is serious, Grade 4 is life-threatening.

Revised: Nov 2020 Side Effects SIDE EFFECTSThe following clinically significant adverse reactions are described elsewhere in the labeling:Differentiation Syndrome [see WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS]Clinical Trials ExperienceBecause clinical trials are conducted under widely varying conditions, adverse reaction rates observed in the clinical trials of a drug cannot be directly compared to rates in the clinical trials of another drug and may not reflect the rates observed in practice.The safety evaluation of single-agent IDHIFA is based on 214 patients with relapsed or refractory AML who were assigned to receive 100 mg daily [see Clinical Studies]. The median duration of exposure to IDHIFA was 4.3 months (range 0.3 to 23.6). The 30-day and 60-day mortality rates observed with IDHIFA were 4.2% (9/214) and 11.7% (25/214), respectively.Serious adverse reactions were reported in 77.1% of patients. The most frequent serious adverse reactions (≥2%) were leukocytosis (10%), diarrhea (6%), nausea (5%), vomiting (3%), decreased appetite (3%), tumor lysis syndrome (5%), and differentiation syndrome (8%). Differentiation syndrome events characterized as serious included pyrexia, renal failure acute, hypoxia, respiratory failure, and multi-organ failure.Overall, 92 of 214 patients (43%) required a dose interruption due to an adverse reaction; the most frequent adverse reactions leading to dose interruption were differentiation syndrome (4%) and leukocytosis (3%). Ten of 214 patients (5%) required a dose reduction due to an adverse reaction; no adverse reaction required dose reduction in more than 2 patients. Thirty-six of 214 patients (17%) permanently discontinued IDHIFA due to an adverse reaction; the most frequent adverse reaction leading to permanent discontinuation was leukocytosis (1%).The most common adverse reactions (≥20%) of any grade were nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, elevated bilirubin and decreased appetite.Adverse reactions reported in the trial are shown in Table 2.Table 2: Adverse Reactions Reported in ≥10% (Any Grade) or ≥3% (Grade 3-5) of Patients with Relapsed or Refractory AMLBody System Adverse ReactionIDHIFA (100 mg daily)N=214All GradesN=214 n (%)≥Grade 3N=214 n (%)Gastrointestinal DisordersaNausea107 (50)11 (5)Diarrhea91 (43)17 (8)Vomiting73 (34)4 (2)Metabolism and Nutrition DisordersDecreased appetite73 (34)9 (4)Tumor lysis syndrome b13 (6)12 (6)Blood and Lymphatic System DisordersDifferentiation syndrome c29 (14)15 (7)Noninfectious leukocytosis26 (12)12 (6)Nervous System DisordersDysgeusia25 (12)0 (0)a Gastrointestinal disorders observed with IDHIFA treatment can be associated with other commonly reported events such as abdominal pain, and weight decreased.b Tumor lysis syndrome observed with IDHIFA treatment can be associated with commonly reported uric acid increased.c Differentiation syndrome can be associated with other commonly reported events such as respiratory failure, dyspnea, hypoxia, pyrexia, peripheral edema, rash, or renal insufficiency.Other clinically significant adverse reactions occurring in ≤10% of patients included:Respiratory, Thoracic, and Mediastinal Disorders: Pulmonary edema, acute respiratory distress syndromeChanges in selected post-baseline laboratory values that were observed in patients with relapsed or refractory AML are shown in Table 3.Table 3: Most Common (≥20%) New or Worsening Laboratory Abnormalities Reported in Patients with Relapsed or Refractory AMLParameter aIDHIFA (100 mg daily)N=214All Grades (%)Grade ≥3 (%)Total bilirubin increased8115Calcium decreased748Potassium decreased4115Phosphorus decreased278a Includes abnormalities occurring up to 28 days after last IDHIFA dose, if new or worsened by at least one grade from baseline, or if baseline was unknown. The denominator varies based on data collected for each parameter (N=213 except phosphorous N=209).Elevated BilirubinIDHIFA may interfere with bilirubin metabolism through inhibition of UGT1A1 [see CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY]. Thirty-seven percent of patients (80/214) experienced total bilirubin elevations ≥2 x ULN at least one time. Of those patients who experienced total bilirubin elevations ≥2 x ULN, 35% had elevations within the first month of treatment, and 89% had no concomitant elevation of transaminases or other severe adverse events related to liver disorders. No patients required a dose reduction for hyperbilirubinemia; treatment was interrupted in 3.7% of patients, for a median of 6 days. Three patients (1.4%) discontinued IDHIFA permanently due to hyperbilirubinemia.Noninfectious LeukocytosisIDHIFA can induce myeloid proliferation resulting in a rapid increase in white blood cell count.Tumor Lysis SyndromeIDHIFA can induce myeloid proliferation resulting in a rapid reduction in tumor cells which may pose a risk for tumor lysis syndrome. Drug Interactions DRUG INTERACTIONSEffect Of IDHIFA On Other DrugsOATP1B1, OATP1B3, And BCRP SubstratesIDHIFA is an OATP1B1, OATP1B3, and BCRP inhibitor. Coadministration of IDHIFA increases the exposure of OATP1B1, OATP1B3, and BCRP substrates, which may increase the incidence and severity of adverse reactions of these substrates [see CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY]. Decrease the dosage of OATP1B1, OATP1B3, and BCRP substrate(s) as recommended in the respective prescribing information, and as clinically indicated.Certain P-glycoprotein (P-gp) SubstratesIDHIFA is a P-gp inhibitor. Coadministration of IDHIFA increases the exposure of P-gp substrates, which may increase the incidence and severity of adverse reactions of these substrates [see CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY]. For a P-gp substrate where small concentration changes may lead to serious adverse reactions, decrease the dose or modify the dosing frequency of such a P-gp substrate and monitor for adverse reactions as recommended in the respective prescribing information. Warnings & Precautions WARNINGSIncluded as part of the PRECAUTIONS section. PRECAUTIONSDifferentiation SyndromeIn the clinical trial, 14% of patients treated with IDHIFA experienced differentiation syndrome, which may be life-threatening or fatal if not treated. Differentiation syndrome is associated with rapid proliferation and differentiation of myeloid cells. While there is no diagnostic test for differentiation syndrome, symptoms in patients treated with IDHIFA included acute respiratory distress represented by dyspnea and/or hypoxia (68%) and need for supplemental oxygen (76%); pulmonary infiltrates (73%) and pleural effusion (45%); renal impairment (70%); fever (36%); lymphadenopathy (33%); bone pain (27%); peripheral edema with rapid weight gain (21%); and pericardial effusion (18%). Hepatic, renal, and multi-organ dysfunction have also been observed.Differentiation syndrome has been observed with and without concomitant hyperleukocytosis, in as early as 1 day and up to 5 months after IDHIFA initiation.If differentiation syndrome is suspected, initiate oral or intravenous corticosteroids (e.g., dexamethasone 10 mg every 12 hours) and hemodynamic monitoring until improvement. Taper corticosteroids only after resolution of symptoms. Symptoms of differentiation syndrome may recur with premature discontinuation of corticosteroid treatment. If severe pulmonary symptoms requiring intubation or ventilator support, and/or renal dysfunction persist for more than 48 hours after initiation of corticosteroids, interrupt IDHIFA until signs and symptoms are no longer severe [see DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION]. Hospitalization for close observation and monitoring of patients with pulmonary and/or renal manifestation is recommended.Embryo-Fetal ToxicityBased on animal embryo-fetal toxicity studies, IDHIFA can cause embryo-fetal harm when administered to a pregnant woman. In animal embryo-fetal toxicity studies, enasidenib caused embryo-fetal toxicities starting at 0.1 times the steady state clinical exposure based on the area under the concentration-time curve (AUC) at the recommended human dose.Advise pregnant women of the potential risk to the fetus. Advise females of reproductive potential to use effective contraception during treatment with IDHIFA and for at least 2 months after the last dose. Advise males with female partners of reproductive potential to use effective contraception during treatment with IDHIFA and for at least 2 months after the last dose [see Use In Specific Populations].Patient Counseling InformationAdvise the patient to read the FDA-approved patient labeling (Medication Guide).Differentiation SyndromeAdvise patients on the risks of developing differentiation syndrome as early as 1 day and during the first 5 months on treatment. Ask patients to immediately report any symptoms suggestive of differentiation syndrome, such as fever, cough or difficulty breathing, bone pain, rapid weight gain or swelling of their arms or legs, to their healthcare provider for further evaluation [see BOXED WARNING and WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS].Tumor Lysis SyndromeAdvise patients on the risks of developing tumor lysis syndrome. Advise patients on the importance of maintaining high fluid intake and the need for frequent monitoring of blood chemistry values [see DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION and ADVERSE REACTIONS].Gastrointestinal Adverse ReactionsAdvise patients on risk of experiencing gastrointestinal reactions, such as diarrhea, nausea, vomiting, decreased appetite, and changes in their sense of taste. Ask patients to report these reactions to their healthcare provider, and advise patients how to manage them [see ADVERSE REACTIONS].Elevated Blood BilirubinInform patients that taking IDHIFA may cause elevated blood bilirubin, which is due to its mechanism of action, and not due to liver damage. Advise patients to report any changes to the color of their skin or the whites of their eyes to their healthcare provider for further evaluation [see ADVERSE REACTIONS].Embryo-Fetal ToxicityAdvise pregnant women of the potential risk to a fetus. Advise females of reproductive potential to notify their healthcare provider of a known or suspected pregnancy [see WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS, Use In Specific Populations].Advise females of reproductive potential to use effective contraception during treatment with IDHIFA and for at least 2 months after the last dose. Advise males with female partners of reproductive potential to use effective contraception during treatment with IDHIFA and for at least 2 months after the last dose. Coadministration of IDHIFA may increase or decrease the concentrations of combined hormonal contraceptives. The clinical significance of this potential drug interaction is unknown at this time [see Use In Specific Populations].LactationAdvise women not to breastfeed during treatment with IDHIFA and for at least 2 months after the last dose [see Use In Specific Populations].Drug InteractionsAdvise patients to inform their healthcare providers of all concomitant products, including over-thecounter products and supplements [see DRUG INTERACTIONS].Dosing And Storage InstructionsAdvise patients not to chew or split the tablets but swallow whole with a cup of water.Instruct patients that if they miss a dose or vomit after a dose of IDHIFA, to take it as soon as possible on the same day and return to normal schedule the following day. Advise patients not to take 2 doses to make up for the missed dose [see DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION].Keep IDHIFA in the original container. Keep the container tightly closed with desiccant canister inside to protect the tablets from moisture [see HOW SUPPLIED/Storage And Handling].Nonclinical ToxicologyCarcinogenesis, Mutagenesis, Impairment Of FertilityCarcinogenicity studies have not been performed with enasidenib.Enasidenib was not mutagenic in an in vitro bacterial reverse mutation (Ames) assay. Enasidenib was not clastogenic in an in vitro human lymphocyte chromosomal aberration assay, or in an in vivo rat bone marrow micronucleus assay.Fertility studies in animals have not been conducted with enasidenib. In repeat-dose toxicity studies with twice daily oral administration of enasidenib in rats up to 90-days in duration, changes were reported in male and female reproductive organs including seminiferous tubular degeneration, hypospermia, atrophy of the seminal vesicle and prostate, decreased corpora lutea and increased atretic follicles in the ovaries, and atrophy in the uterus. Use In Specific PopulationsPregnancyRisk SummaryBased on animal embryo-fetal toxicity studies, IDHIFA can cause fetal harm when administered to a pregnant woman. There are no available data on IDHIFA use in pregnant women to inform a drug-associated risk of major birth defects and miscarriage. In animal embryo-fetal toxicity studies, oral administration of enasidenib to pregnant rats and rabbits during organogenesis was associated with embryo-fetal mortality and alterations to growth starting at 0.1 times the steady state clinical exposure based on the AUC at the recommended human dose (see Data). Advise pregnant women of the potential risk to a fetus.The estimated background risk of major birth defects and miscarriage for the indicated population is unknown. All pregnancies have a background risk of birth defect, loss, or other adverse outcomes. In the U.S. general population, the estimated background risk of major birth defects and miscarriage in clinically recognized pregnancies is 2%-4% and 15%-20%, respectively.DataAnimal DataEnasidenib administered to pregnant rats at a dose of 30 mg/kg twice daily during organogenesis (gestation days 6-17) was associated with maternal toxicity and adverse embryo-fetal effects including post-implantation loss, resorptions, decreased viable fetuses, lower fetal birth weights, and skeletal variations. These effects occurred in rats at approximately 1.6 times the clinical exposure at the recommended human daily dose of 100 mg/day.In pregnant rabbits treated during organogenesis (gestation days 7-19), enasidenib was maternally toxic at doses equal to 5 mg/kg/day or higher (exposure approximately 0.1 to 0.6 times the steady state clinical exposure at the recommended daily dose) and caused spontaneous abortions at 5 mg/kg/day (exposure approximately 0.1 times the steady state clinical exposure at the recommended daily dose).LactationRisk SummaryThere are no data on the presence of enasidenib or its metabolites in human milk, the effects on the breastfed child, or the effects on milk production. Because of the potential for adverse reactions in the breastfed child, advise women not to breastfeed during treatment with IDHIFA and for at least 2 months after the last dose.Females And Males Of Reproductive PotentialBased on animal embryo-fetal toxicity studies, IDHIFA can cause fetal harm when administered to a pregnant woman [see Use In Specific Populations].Pregnancy TestingVerify pregnancy status in females of reproductive potential prior to starting IDHIFA.ContraceptionFemalesAdvise females of reproductive potential to use effective contraception during treatment with IDHIFA and for at least 2 months after the last dose. Coadministration of IDHIFA may increase or decrease the concentrations of combined hormonal contraceptives. The clinical significance of this potential drug interaction is unknown at this time.MalesAdvise males with female partners of reproductive potential to use effective contraception during treatment with IDHIFA and for at least 2 months after the last dose of IDHIFA.InfertilityBased on findings in animals, IDHIFA may impair fertility in females and males of reproductive potential. It is not known whether these effects on fertility are reversible [see Nonclinical Toxicology].Pediatric UseSafety and effectiveness in pediatric patients have not been established.Geriatric UseNo dosage adjustment is required for IDHIFA based on age. In the clinical study, 61% of 214 patients were aged 65 years or older, while 24% were older than 75 years. No overall differences in effectiveness or safety were observed between patients aged 65 years or older and younger patients. Overdosage & Contraindications OVERDOSENo Information Provided CONTRAINDICATIONSNone. Clinical Pharmacology CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGYMechanism Of ActionEnasidenib is a small molecule inhibitor of the isocitrate dehydrogenase 2 (IDH2) enzyme. Enasidenib targets the mutant IDH2 variants R140Q, R172S, and R172K at approximately 40-fold lower concentrations than the wild-type enzyme in vitro. Inhibition of the mutant IDH2 enzyme by enasidenib led to decreased 2-hydroxyglutarate (2-HG) levels and induced myeloid differentiation in vitro and in vivo in mouse xenograft models of IDH2 mutated AML. In blood samples from patients with AML with mutated IDH2, enasidenib decreased 2-HG levels, reduced blast counts and increased percentages of mature myeloid cells.PharmacodynamicsCardiac ElectrophysiologyThe potential for QTc prolongation with enasidenib was evaluated in an open-label study in patients with advanced hematologic malignancies with an IDH2 mutation. No large mean changes in the QTc interval (>20 ms) were observed following treatment with enasidenib.PharmacokineticsThe peak plasma concentration (Cmax) is 1.4 mcg/mL [coefficient of variation (CV%) 50%] after a single dose of 100 mg, and 13.1 mcg/mL (CV% 45%) at steady state for 100 mg daily. The area under concentration time curve (AUC) of enasidenib increases in an approximately dose proportional manner from 50 mg (0.5 times approved recommended dosage) to 450 mg (4.5 times approved recommended dosage) daily dose. Steady-state plasma levels are reached within 29 days of once-daily dosing. Accumulation is approximately 10-fold when administered once daily.AbsorptionThe absolute bioavailability after 100 mg oral dose of enasidenib is approximately 57%. After a single oral dose, the median time to Cmax (Tmax) is 4 hours.DistributionThe mean volume of distribution (Vd) of enasidenib is 55.8 L (CV% 29). Human plasma protein binding of enasidenib is 98.5% and of its metabolite AGI-16903 is 96.6% in vitro.EliminationEnasidenib has a terminal half-life of 7.9 days and a mean total body clearance (CL/F) of 0.70 L/hour (CV% 62.5).MetabolismEnasidenib accounted for 89% of the radioactivity in circulation and AGI-16903, the N-dealkylated metabolite, represented 10% of the circulating radioactivity.Metabolism of enasidenib is mediated by multiple cytochrome P450 (CYP) enzymes (e.g., CYP1A2, CYP2B6, CYP2C8, CYP2C9, CYP2C19, CYP2D6, and CYP3A4), and by multiple UDP glucuronosyl transferases (UGTs) (e.g., UGT1A1, UGT1A3, UGT1A4, UGT1A9, UGT2B7, and UGT2B15) in vitro. Further metabolism of the metabolite AGI-16903 is also mediated by multiple enzymes (e.g., CYP1A2, CYP2C19, CYP3A4, UGT1A1, UGT1A3, and UGT1A9) in vitro.ExcretionEighty-nine percent (89%) of enasidenib is eliminated in feces and 11% in the urine. Excretion of unchanged enasidenib accounts for 34% of the radiolabeled drug in the feces and 0.4% in the urine.Specific PopulationsNo clinically meaningful effect on the pharmacokinetics of enasidenib was observed for the following covariates: age (19 years to 100 years), race (White, Black, or Asian), mild hepatic impairment [defined as total bilirubin ≤ upper limit of normal (ULN) and aspartate transaminase (AST) >ULN or total bilirubin 1 to 1.5 times ULN and any AST], renal impairment (defined as creatinine clearance ≥30 mL/min by Cockcroft-Gault formula), sex, body weight (39 kg to 136 kg), and body surface area.Drug Interaction StudiesClinical StudiesOATP1B1, OATP1B3, And BCRP SubstratesCoadministration of rosuvastatin 10 mg after multiple doses of IDHIFA 100 mg increased rosuvastatin Cmax by 366% and AUC0-INF by 244%.P-gp SubstratesCoadministration of digoxin 0.25 mg after multiple doses of IDHIFA 100 mg increased digoxin Cmax by 26% and AUC0-30h by 20%.In Vitro StudiesCYP And UGT EnzymesEnasidenib inhibits CYP1A2, CYP2B6, CYP2C8, CYP2C9, CYP2C19, CYP2D6, CYP3A4, and UGT1A1. The metabolite AGI-16903 inhibits CYP1A2, CYP2B6, CYP2C8, CYP2C9, CYP2C19, and CYP2D6. Enasidenib induces CYP2B6 and CYP3A4.Transporter SystemsEnasidenib is not a substrate for P-glycoprotein (P-gp) or breast cancer resistance protein (BCRP). AGI-16903 is a substrate of both P-gp and BCRP. Enasidenib and AGI-16903 are not substrates of multidrug resistance-associated protein 2 (MRP2), organic anion transporter 1 (OAT1), OAT3, organic anion transporter family member 1B1 (OATP1B1), OATP1B3, and organic cation transporter 2 (OCT2).Enasidenib inhibits OAT1 and OCT2, but not MRP2 or OAT3. AGI-16903 inhibits BCRP, OAT1, OAT3, OATP1B1, and OCT2, but not P-gp, MRP2, or OATP1B3.Coadministration of IDHIFA may increase or decrease the concentrations of combined hormonal contraceptives. The clinical significance of this potential drug interaction is unknown at this time. Clinical StudiesAcute Myeloid LeukemiaThe efficacy of IDHIFA was evaluated in an open-label, single-arm, multicenter, two-cohort clinical trial (Study AG221-C-001, NCT01915498) of 199 adult patients with relapsed or refractory AML and an IDH2 mutation, who were assigned to receive 100 mg daily dose. Cohort 1 included 101 patients and Cohort 2 included 98 patients. IDH2 mutations were identified by a local diagnostic test and retrospectively confirmed by the Abbott RealTime IDH2 assay, or prospectively identified by the Abbott RealTime IDH2 assay, which is the FDA-approved test for selection of patients with AML for treatment with IDHIFA. IDHIFA was given orally at starting dose of 100 mg daily until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Dose reductions were allowed to manage adverse events.The baseline demographic and disease characteristics are shown in Table 4.

Similar CR/CRh rates were observed in patients with either R140 or R172 mutation.Table 5: Efficacy Results in Patients with Relapsed or Refractory AMLEndpointIDHIFA (100 mg daily)N=199CRa n (%)37 (19)95% CI(13, 25)Median DORb (months)8.295% CI(4.7, 19.4)CRhc n (%)9 (4)95% CI(2, 8)Median DOR (months)9.695% CI(0.7, NA)CR/CRh n (%)46(23)95% CI(18, 30)Median DOR (months)8.295% CI(4.3, 19.4)CI: confidence interval, NA: not available.a CR (complete remission) was defined as <5% of blasts in the bone marrow, no evidence of disease, and full recovery of peripheral blood counts (platelets >100,000/microliter and absolute neutrophil counts [ANC] >1,000/microliter).b DOR (duration of response) was defined as time since first response of CR or CRh to relapse or death, whichever is earlier.c CRh (complete remission with partial hematological recovery) was defined as <5% of blasts in the bone marrow, no evidence of disease, and partial recovery of peripheral blood counts (platelets >50,000/microliter and ANC >500/microliter).For patients who achieved a CR/CRh, the median time to first response was 1.9 months (range, 0.5 to 7.5 months) and the median time to best response of CR/CRh was 3.7 months (range, 0.6 to 11.2 months). Of the 46 patients who achieved a best response of CR/CRh, 39 (85%) did so within 6 months of initiating IDHIFA.Among the 157 patients who were dependent on red blood cell (RBC) and/or platelet transfusions at baseline, 53 (34%) became independent of RBC and platelet transfusions during any 56-day post baseline period. Of the 42 patients who were independent of both RBC and platelet transfusions at baseline, 32 (76%) remained transfusion independent during any 56-day post baseline period.
