Whole exome sequencing analyses of human, IDH2-mutated, acute myeloid leukemia samples from patients before or during treatment with Enasidenib.
Mutations in isocitrate dehydrogenase 2 (IDH2) occur in many cancers including Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML). In preclinical models mutant IDH2 causes partial hemopoietic differentiation arrest. Recently, we showed that single agent Enasidenib, a first-in-class, selective mutant IDH2 inhibitor, produces a 40% response in relapsed/refractory AML patients by promoting differentiation. Yet, the rate, extend and duration of the clinical benefits of Enasidenib vary from one patient to another. To investigate how the genetic mutational landscape, at baseline or at relapse, contributes in modulating response to Enasidenib, WES analyses on FACS-sorted blasts from baseline, best response and/or relapse samples from 16 Enasidenib-treated patients were performed. WES analyses were also performed on the CD3+ cells from the same patients, which may be used as germinal control samples.
