Servier has received marketing authorisation from the European Commission (EC) for Tibsovo (ivosidenib tablets) to treat isocitrate dehydrogenase-1 (IDH1)-mutated acute myeloid leukaemia (AML) and IDH1-mutated cholangiocarcinoma.
Tibsovo is an isocitrate dehydrogenase-1 inhibitor indicated to treat IDH1 R132-mutated locally advanced or metastatic cholangiocarcinoma in adult patients who have previously received a minimum of one line of systemic therapy.

Along with azacytidine, the therapy is indicated to treat newly diagnosed IDH1 R132-mutated AML adult patients who are not eligible to receive standard induction chemotherapy.
It is claimed to be the first and only IDH1-targeted therapy to receive approval in Europe.
Servier Global Product Strategy executive vice-president Philippe Gonnard stated: “IDH1 mutations are major drivers of disease progression in acute myeloid leukaemia and cholangiocarcinoma, which are usually diagnosed at an advanced stage, highlighting the urgent need for a targeted therapeutic option.

By GlobalDataThis regulatory approval for Tibsovo to treat cholangiocarcinoma was supported by the data obtained from the ClarIDHy Phase III trial.
Findings showed that the median progression-free survival (PFS) for Tibsovo was 2.7 months and for placebo was 1.4 months.
The EC’s approval in AML was supported by data from the multicentre, double-blind, randomised, placebo-controlled, global AGILE Phase III trial.
Tibsovo is approved in the US as monotherapy to treat IDH1-mutant relapsed or refractory AML in adult patients.
In May 2022, it was approved as a monotherapy or along with azacytidine for newly diagnosed IDH1-mutant AML adult patients aged 75 years or above, or those who have comorbidities that prevent the usage of intensive induction chemotherapy.
