Primary

MeasureTime frame
Main Objective: The primary objectives of the study are: • Phase Ia: To determine the recommended phase II dose of molidustat (RP2D) based on the DLT rate observed for up to three investigated doses. •Phase IIb: To establish initial efficacy by assessing the CR rate of the combination treatment including molidustat and ivosidenib. ;Secondary Objective: secondary objectives: •To assess the combined rate of CR, CR with partial hematologic recovery (CRh) and CR with incomplete hematologic recovery (CRi). •To assess the proportion of patients becoming transfusion-independent •To evaluate EFS, OS, RFS, CIR, and CID after CR/CRh/CRi of the combination treatment including molidustat and ivosidenib. •To evaluate minimal residual disease (MRD) status at sequential time points throughout treatment and CR/CRh/CRiMRD- rate of the combination of molidustat and ivosidenib using molecular techniques (IDH1 mutation and other molecular markers). •To evaluate limited pharmacodynamics (PD) of molidustat (erythropoietin induction) and ivosidenib (R-2HG inhibition). safety objectives: •To assess safety and tolerability comparing the frequency and severity of (severe) adverse events according to CTCAE criteria. •To evaluate the proportion of patients requiring phlebotomy (hematocrit = 45%) •To evaluate 30 and 60 day mortality rates ;Primary end point(s): The primary endpoint of phase Ia of the trial is the frequency of DLTs during cycle 1 of treatment (up to 42 days). The primary endpoint of phase IIb of the trial is the rate of complete remission (CR), within the first 6 months of treatment as determined by the Investigator, based on the European LeukemiaNet (ELN2022) recommended response criteria. 6 ELN2022 response criteria will be also applied to MDS/AML patients.;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: Phase Ia of the trial: during cycle 1 of treatment (up to 42 days). Phase IIb of the trial: within the first 6 months of treatment as determined by the Investigator

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Secondary end point(s): Secondary Endpoints of this trial are: (1)Combined rate of complete remission (CR), CR with partial hematologic recovery (CRh) and CR with incomplete hematologic recovery (CRi) within the first 6 months of treatment as determined by the Investigator, based on the European LeukemiaNet (ELN2022) recommended response criteria. (2)Proportion of patients being transfusion-free for = 8 weeks for erythrocytes and/or platelets during the first 24 weeks. This will be separately assessed for all patients and for patients who were transfusion dependent at screening. (3)Event-free survival (EFS), defined as the time from C1D1 to failure to achieve CR or CRh or CRi within the first six months of treatment, death or relapse after achieving CR or CRh or CRi, whichever occurs first. A patient is said to have failed to achieve CR orCRh or CRi, if his/her best response after 6 months of treatment is less than CRh or CRi (e.g. morphologic leukemia free state, partial remission, stable disease, progressive disease) and is counted as an event on C1D1. If there is no bone marrow assessment documented at all, patients will be considered as non-responders with an event on C1D1. Patients who are lost to follow up before C6D28 are censored on the date they were last known to be alive. Patients who die before C6D28 will be counted as non-responders with an event at C1D1. Patients who achieved CR/CRh/CRi and are not known to have relapsed or died will be censored at the date they were last known to be alive. (4)Modified EFS, where failure of achieving CR/CRh/CRi during the first 6 months will be counted as an event on the date of last bone marrow assessment documented. If there is no bone marrow assessment documented at all, the time of the event will be C6D28. Patients lost to follow up before C6D28 will be censored on the date they were last known to be alive. Patients who die before C6D28 will be counted as an event at date of death. (5) Overall survival (OS), defi
