Number of Participants With Treatment-emergent Adverse Events (TEAEs)
From first dose of study drug to 28 days after last dose; median (minimum, maximum) duration of exposure was 66 (8, 197) days across all cohorts.

Treatment-emergent adverse events included any adverse events (AEs) occurring or worsening on or after the first dose of study drug and within 28 days after the last dose of the study drug. Severity was graded according to Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) v4.03 or according to the following scale: Grade 1= Mild AE, Grade 2= Moderate AE, Grade 3= Severe AE, Grade 4= Life-threatening or disabling AE, Grade 5= Fatal, death related to AE. A serious AE is any AE occurring at any dose that: * Resulted in death; * Was life-threatening; * Required or prolonged existing inpatient hospitalization; * Resulted in persistent or significant disability/incapacity; * Was a congenital anomaly/birth defect; * Constituted an important medical event. Relationship to study drug administration was determined by the investigator as not related, possibly related, or probably related; all AEs classified as possibly or probably related were considered treatment-related.

Number of Participants With Dose-limiting Toxicities
Cycle 1 (28 days)

Toxicities were graded and documented according to the National Cancer Institute (NCI) Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE), Version 4.03. A dose-limiting toxicity (DLT) was defined as an event considered related to enasidenib and meeting 1 of the following criteria: Non-hematologic: \- All clinically significant non-hematologic toxicities CTCAE ≥ Grade 3, considered not related to underlying disease or intercurrent illness, with the exception of ≥ Grade 3 blood bilirubin increases in participants with a uridine diphosphate-glucuronosyltransferase 1 family, polypeptide A1 (UGT1A1) mutation. In participants with a UGT1A1 mutation, blood bilirubin increases of \> 5 × upper limit of normal (ULN) were considered a DLT. Hematologic: \- Drug-related, prolonged myelosuppression of ≥ Grade 4 neutropenia or thrombocytopenia lasting beyond Day 28 of Cycle 1 unless related to bone marrow involvement by AITL.

Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) Performance Status at Each Visit
Baseline, Cycle 1 Day 15, Cycle 2 Day 1, Cycle 3 Day 1, Cycle 4 Day 1, Cycle 5 Day 1, and at end of treatment

ECOG performance status is used by doctors and researchers to assess how a subjects disease is progressing, assess how the disease affects the daily living activities of the subject and determine appropriate treatment and prognosis. * 0 = Fully active (most favorable activity); * 1 = Restricted activity but ambulatory; * 2 = Ambulatory but unable to carry out work activities; * 3 = Limited self-care; * 4 = Completely disabled, no self-care (least favorable activity).

Phase 1 Dose Escalation: Number of Participants With Dose Limiting Toxicities (DLT)
From time of first dose up to the end of Cycle 1; 28 days

Toxicity severity was graded according to the National Cancer Institute Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (NCI CTCAE) Version 4.03. A DLT was defined as: • Non-hematologic toxicities: CTCAE ≥ Grade 3 with the exception of ≥ Grade 3 blood bilirubin increases in participants with a uridine diphosphate- glucuronosyltransferase 1 family, polypeptide A1 (UGT1A1) mutation. In participants with a UGT1A1 mutation, blood bilirubin increases of \> 5× upper limit of normal (ULN) were considered a DLT. • Hematologic toxicities: Prolonged myelosuppression, defined as persistence of ≥ Grade 3 neutropenia or thrombocytopenia (by NCI CTCAE v4.03), leukemia-specific criteria, i.e., marrow cellularity \<5% on Day 28 or later from the start of study drug without evidence of leukemia) at least 42 days after the initiation of Cycle 1 therapy. Leukemia-specific grading was used for cytopenias (based on percentage decrease from Baseline: 50 to 75% = Grade 3, \>75% = Grade 4)

Phase 1 Dose Escalation: Number of Participants With Treatment Emergent Adverse Events (TEAEs)
From the first dose of investigational product (IP) up to 28 days after the last dose, up to the data cutoff date of 01 September 2017; median treatment duration in the dose escalation phase was 5.0 months (range 0.4 to 34.2 months).

A TEAE is any adverse event that began or worsened on or after the start of investigational product (IP) through 28 days after the last dose. A treatment-related TEAE is a TEAE that is suspected (possibly or probably related) by the Investigator to be related to the IP. A serious AE is one that at any dose of IP or at any time during the observation period met the following criteria: • Resulted in death; • Was life threatening; • Requires inpatient hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization; • Resulted in persistent or significant disability/incapacity; • Was a congenital anomaly/birth defect; • Was medically important. The intensity of each AE was graded from 1 to 5 according to the NCI CTCAE Version 4.03, and according to the following: Mild (Grade 1), Moderate (Grade 2), Severe (Grade 3), Life threatening (Grade 4), or Death (Grade 5).

Phase 1 Dose Expansion: Number of Participants With Treatment Emergent Adverse Events

Frequently asked questions about Enasidenib

What is enasidenib?

Enasidenib is a small molecule IDH2 inhibitor developed by Bristol-Myers Squibb Company (ticker BMY). It is being studied in hematology, including clonal cytopenia of undetermined significance, acute myeloid leukemia, other myeloid neoplasms, hepatic impairment, and solid tumors. It is also known by the code name AG-221 and CC-90007.

What is enasidenib used for in clonal cytopenia of undetermined significance?

Enasidenib is being evaluated in clonal cytopenia of undetermined significance (CCUS) in patients whose disease carries IDH2 mutations. The recruiting Phase 2 trial NCT06240754 is a decentralized study enrolling adults 18 years and older in the United States, with a planned enrollment of 15 participants. Enasidenib is investigational for this indication.

What does enasidenib target?

Enasidenib targets IDH2, the isocitrate dehydrogenase 2 enzyme, and acts as an inhibitor of that target. Its development is biomarker selected, meaning trials enroll patients whose tumors or blood disorders carry IDH2 mutations. This targeted mechanism underlies its study across myeloid malignancies and related hematologic conditions.

Who makes enasidenib?

Enasidenib is developed by Bristol-Myers Squibb Company, which trades under the ticker BMY. The compound is also referenced in company and trial documents by the code names AG-221 and CC-90007.

What phase is enasidenib in?

Enasidenib is in Phase 2 development for clonal cytopenia of undetermined significance, with earlier Phase 1 pharmacokinetic and drug interaction studies also conducted. It remains an investigational agent in clinical development and is not described here as approved for any indication.

What clinical trials is enasidenib in?

Enasidenib trials include NCT06240754, a recruiting Phase 2 decentralized study in clonal cytopenia of undetermined significance, and NCT04573582, a completed Phase 1 pharmacokinetic study in hepatic impairment. Completed Phase 1 studies NCT03720366 and NCT03290443 examined drug interactions in acute myeloid leukemia and pharmacokinetics in moderate to severe hepatic impairment, respectively.

Is enasidenib the same as AG-221?

Yes. Enasidenib is also known as AG-221, and it has additionally been referenced by the code CC-90007. These names identify the same small molecule IDH2 inhibitor developed by Bristol-Myers Squibb Company, so search results and trial records using AG-221 or CC-90007 refer to enasidenib.
