A pressing question has been whether the effects of (R)-2HG are reversible in IDH-mutant solid tumors as they are in leukemia. Inhibiting (R)-2HG has led to minimal changes in cell proliferation and cell viability in many, 9, 10 but not all, 2 preclinical models of IDH1-mutant glioma. A caveat, however, is that these data were based on artificially transformed astrocytes or patient-derived cell lines or xenografts derived from high-grade (rather than lower-grade) patients. On the other hand, loss of the mutant IDH allele has been described, albeit rarely, in IDH-mutant gliomas, and an earlier phase 1 study of the brain-penetrant dual mIDH1/2 inhibitor vorasidenib in recurrent or progressive IDH-mutant gliomas showed limited activity, with no objective responses observed in patients with enhancing lesions. 11 Collectively, these observations led to concerns that (R)-2HG acts in a “hit-and-run” fashion, at least in the later stages of glioma progression. It remained unclear whether blocking (R)-2HG would be useful earlier in the course of this disease.The results of the INDIGO trial provide important insights regarding the ongoing requirement of low-grade gliomas for (R)-2HG. This phase 3 trial randomized 331 patients with residual or recurrent grade 2 IDH-mutant gliomas after resection to placebo or vorasidenib. Vorasidenib treatment prolonged progression-free survival (PFS)(11.1 months vs 27.7 months) and time to next intervention (17.8 months vs not reached), with overall survival data not yet reported. These data represent a significant advancement in the treatment of IDH-mutant glioma patients, a disease for which there has been little change in standard-of-care treatment for well over a decade. The fact that vorasidenib improved PFS suggests that in low-grade IDH-mutant glioma patients, at least some of the oncogenic effects of mIDH are reversible. These data also mirror clinical results in IDH1-mutant cholangiocarcinoma patients. 2 The results of the INDIGO trial emphasize the need to understand, mechanistically, how mIDH1 drives glioma growth. It is not yet known which downstream effects of mIDH are reversed by vorasidenib, and which are linked to treatment response. Such knowledge may yield predictive biomarkers to better select patients who will benefit from mIDH inhibitors. As noted above, mIDH inhibitor treatment appears significantly less effective in later-stage gliomas. 11 It is not known what biologic changes occur over time that confer resistance to mIDH inhibitors. For patients with disease unresponsive to mIDH inhibitors, alternative treatment strategies such as synthetic lethal approaches may hold promise. 10, 12
