Pharmacology
Ivosidenib is a small molecule inhibitor of the mutant isocitrate dehydrogenase 1 (IDH1) enzyme that reduces 2-hydroxyglutarate (2-HG) levels and induces myeloid differentiation in IDH1-mutated AML; in IDH1-mutated cholangiocarcinoma, it also reduces 2-HG levels in tumor tissue.
Luspatercept-aamt is a recombinant fusion protein that binds several endogenous TGF-beta superfamily ligands, thereby diminishing Smad2/3 signaling and promoting erythroid maturation by increasing late-stage erythroid precursors (normoblasts) to reduce ineffective erythropoiesis in beta-thalassemia and MDS.
