ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE:
The identification of mutation hot spots in the isocitrate dehydrogenase (IDH) genes is one of the most important cancer genome-wide sequencing discoveries with relevant impact in the treatment of some orphan tumors. These genes were mostly found mutated in lower-grade gliomas (LGGs), acute myeloid leukaemia (AML), myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) and myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPNs) and in cholangiocarcinoma. This aberrant genomic condition represents a therapeutic target of great interest in cancer research, especially in AML, given the limitations of currently approved therapies in this field. In this review, we investigate the role of IDH mutation and the mutant IDH (mIDH)- targeted therapies for cholangiocarcinoma and glioma.METHODS:
Here, we provide an overview of the IDH mutation role and discuss its role in tumorigenesis and progression of some solid cancers, in which the therapeutic strategy can be completely changed thanks to these brand-new therapeutic options. KEY CONTENT ANDFINDINGS:
The encouraging early clinical data demonstrated to be a proof of concept for investigational mIDH1/2 inhibitors in tumors with a paucity of therapeutic possibilities.CONCLUSIONS:
Moreover, we list the most important randomised clinical trials still active with their preliminary results.
