We describe 3 patients with relapsed/refractory acute myeloid leukemia who developed clinically-apparent differentiation concurrent with clinical response during monotherapy with AG-120, a novel, oral inhibitor of mutant isocitrate dehydrogenase 1. Symptoms included marked leukocytosis and exuberant neutrophil recovery among other clinically-apparent constitutional manifestations. Awareness of the potential for differentiation syndrome with such inhibitors, and prompt identification and intervention, are essential to facilitate clinical resolution. Cancer-associated isocitrate dehydrogenase (IDH) mutations block normal cellular differentiation via production of the oncometabolite, R-2-hydroxyglutarate. In patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) receiving targeted mutant IDH inhibitor therapy, neutrophil recovery within the setting of clinical differentiation syndrome (DS) has been anecdotally described. We describe 3 patients who developed clinically apparent DS while on monotherapy with the mutant IDH1 inhibitor, AG-120, for relapsed/refractory AML. AG-120-induced differentiation commenced within the first 60 days of treatment, notably in the same timeframe as clinical response, strengthening the purported mechanism of targeted mutant IDH-inhibitor therapy via successful myeloid maturation. Symptoms of DS were non-specific and included culture-negative fever, edema, hypotension, malaise, and pleural and/or pericardial effusions, in addition to marked neutrophil-predominant leukocytosis. DS can occur during treatment with targeted mutant IDH1 inhibitor therapy. Patients may present with non-specific clinical manifestations often in the setting of leukocytosis related to exuberant neutrophil recovery. Prompt identification and initiation of treatment interventions, including hydroxyurea, corticosteroids and/or consideration of temporary treatment discontinuation, are important to facilitate prompt resolution.
