Health Canada has announced that IDHIFA (enasidenib) will be withdrawn from the Canadian market on June 30, 2023. IDHIFA failed to demonstrate improved overall survival in adult patients with late-stage acute myeloid leukemia and an IDH2 mutation when compared with conventional care regimens in a phase 3 confirmatory study. Health care providers are advised to:
Not initiate IDHIFA in new patients.
Discuss with their patients whether to continue treatment with IDHIFA.
Apply to Health Canada's Special Access Program to request IDHIFA for patients who require continued treatment.
Further information may be found at https://recalls-rappels.canada.ca/en/alert-recall/idhifa-enasidenib-mesylate-market-withdrawal-and-continued-access.
Patients treated with enasidenib have experienced symptoms of differentiation syndrome, which can be fatal if not treated. Symptoms may include fever, dyspnea, acute respiratory distress, pulmonary infiltrates, pleural or pericardial effusions, rapid weight gain or peripheral edema, lymphadenopathy, bone pain, and hepatic, renal, or multi-organ dysfunction. If differentiation syndrome is suspected, initiate corticosteroid therapy and hemodynamic monitoring until symptom resolution.
Note: Confirm IDH2 mutation status in the blood or bone marrow prior to treatment initiation. Enasidenib is associated with a moderate or high emetic potential; antiemetics are recommended to prevent nausea and vomiting (ASCO [Hesketh 2020]).
Acute myeloid leukemia, IDH2-mutated, relapsed/refractory: Oral: 100 mg once daily until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity; treat for a minimum of 6 months in patients without disease progression or unacceptable toxicity to allow time for clinical response.
Acute myeloid leukemia, IDH2-mutated, newly diagnosed (off-label use): Patients ≥60 years of age (and unfit for standard therapy): Oral: 100 mg once daily until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity (Pollyea 2019; Stein 2020b).
Myelodysplastic syndromes, IDH2-mutated, high-risk, relapsed/refractory (off-label use): Oral: 100 mg once daily until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity (Stein 2020a; Venugopal 2021).
Missed dose: If a dose is vomited, missed, or delayed, administer the dose as soon as possible on the same day; return to the normal administration schedule the following day.
Dosage adjustment for concomitant therapy: Significant drug interactions exist, requiring dose/frequency adjustment or avoidance. Consult drug interactions database for more information.
CrCl ≥30 mL/minute: There are no dosage adjustments provided in the manufacturer's labeling; however, this level of renal function does not have a clinically significant effect on enasidenib pharmacokinetics. No dosage adjustment is necessary (Krens 2019).
CrCl <30 mL/minute: There are no dosage adjustments provided in the manufacturer's labeling. However, no need for dosage adjustment is expected (Krens 2019).
Hemodialysis: No need for dosage adjustment is expected (Krens 2019).
Hepatic impairment prior to treatment initiation:
Mild (total bilirubin within ULN and AST > ULN or total bilirubin 1 to 1.5 times ULN and any AST) impairment: There are no dosage adjustments provided in the manufacturer's labeling; however, mild hepatic impairment does not have a clinically significant effect on enasidenib pharmacokinetics. No dosage adjustment is necessary (Krens 2019).
Moderate impairment (total bilirubin >1.5 to 3 times ULN and any AST): There are no dosage adjustments provided in the manufacturer's labeling. However, a 50% dosage reduction may be considered (Krens 2019).
Severe impairment (total bilirubin >3 times ULN and any AST): There are no dosage adjustments provided in the manufacturer's labeling. Use is not recommended (Krens 2019).
Hepatotoxicity during treatment: Bilirubin >3 times ULN for ≥2 weeks without elevated transaminases or other hepatic disorders: Reduce dose to 50 mg once daily. Resume enasidenib at 100 mg once daily if bilirubin elevation resolves to <2 times ULN.
Differentiation syndrome: If differentiation syndrome is suspected, initiate systemic corticosteroids (eg, dexamethasone IV or oral 10 mg twice daily) and monitor hemodynamics. Interrupt enasidenib for severe pulmonary symptoms requiring intubation or ventilator support and/or renal dysfunction persisting for more than 48 hours after systemic corticosteroid initiation. Resume enasidenib when signs/symptoms improve to ≤ grade 2. Taper systemic corticosteroids only after symptom resolution (symptoms may recur if corticosteroids are discontinued prematurely).
Noninfectious leukocytosis (WBC >30,000/mm3): Initiate hydroxyurea (per standard institutional practice); interrupt enasidenib if leukocytosis is not improved with hydroxyurea therapy, then resume enasidenib at 100 mg once daily when WBC <30,000/mm3.
Other toxicity: Grade 3 or higher (attributed to enasidenib [including tumor lysis syndrome]): Interrupt enasidenib until toxicity improves to ≤ grade 2. Resume enasidenib at 50 mg once daily; may increase to 100 mg once daily if toxicity resolves to ≤ grade 1. If ≥ grade 3 toxicity recurs, discontinue enasidenib.
Refer to adult dosing.
The following adverse drug reactions and incidences are derived from product labeling unless otherwise specified.
>10%:
Endocrine & metabolic: Decreased serum calcium (74%), decreased serum potassium (41%)
Gastrointestinal: Nausea (50%), diarrhea (43%), decreased appetite (34%), vomiting (34%), dysgeusia (12%)
Hematologic & oncologic: Abnormal phosphorus levels (27%; ≥3 grade: 8%; decreased), differentiation syndrome (14%), leukocytosis (12%; ≥3 grade: 6%; noninfectious)
Hepatic: Increased serum bilirubin (81%)
1% to 10%:
Hematologic & oncologic: Tumor lysis syndrome (6%)
Respiratory: Acute respiratory distress (≤10%), pulmonary edema (≤10%)
There are no contraindications listed in the manufacturer's US labeling.
Canadian labeling: Additional contraindications (not in the US labeling): Hypersensitivity to enasidenib or any component of the formulation.
Concerns related to adverse effects:
• Differentiation syndrome: Patients treated with enasidenib have experienced symptoms of differentiation syndrome, which can be fatal if not treated. Symptoms may include fever, dyspnea, acute respiratory distress, pulmonary infiltrates, pleural or pericardial effusions, rapid weight gain or peripheral edema, lymphadenopathy, bone pain, and hepatic, renal, or multi-organ dysfunction. Differentiation syndrome, which is associated with rapid proliferation and differentiation of myeloid cells, has occurred (with and without concomitant hyperleukocytosis) as early as 1 day and up to 5 months after initiating enasidenib. Hospitalization is recommended for patients with pulmonary and/or renal toxicity for close monitoring.
• Electrolyte imbalance: Hypocalcemia, hypokalemia, and hypophosphatemia have been reported.
• Hematologic effects: Noninfectious leukocytosis may occur due to myeloid proliferation leading to a rapid rise in white blood cell count.
• Hepatotoxicity: Hyperbilirubinemia has been commonly reported; the majority of patients did not have concomitant transaminase elevation or other severe toxicity due to other liver disorders. Enasidenib may interfere with bilirubin metabolism through UGT1A1 inhibition.
• Tumor lysis syndrome: Tumor lysis syndrome may occur.
Other warnings/precautions:
• Appropriate use: Confirm IDH2 mutation status prior to therapy initiation. Information on tests approved to detect IDH2 mutation in AML may be found at http://www.FDA.gov/CompanionDiagnostics.

Verify pregnancy status (prior to treatment in patients who could become pregnant). Monitor for signs/symptoms of differentiation syndrome (eg, fever, cough, dyspnea, bone pain, rapid weight gain, edema, lymphadenopathy; initiate hemodynamic monitoring if differentiation syndrome is suspected; consider close observation/monitoring in a hospital in patients with pulmonary and/or kidney manifestations) and tumor lysis syndrome. Monitor adherence.
The American Society of Clinical Oncology hepatitis B virus (HBV) screening and management provisional clinical opinion (ASCO [Hwang 2020]) recommends HBV screening with hepatitis B surface antigen, hepatitis B core antibody, total Ig or IgG, and antibody to hepatitis B surface antigen prior to beginning (or at the beginning of) systemic anticancer therapy; do not delay treatment for screening/results. Detection of chronic or past HBV infection requires a risk assessment to determine antiviral prophylaxis requirements, monitoring, and follow-up.
Enasidenib is a small molecule inhibitor of the enzyme isocitrate dehydrogenase 2 (IDH2); it targets the mutant IDH2 variants R140Q, R172S, and R172K at ~40-fold lower concentrations than the wild-type enzyme. Mutant IDH2 inhibition results in decreased 2-hydroxyglutarate (2-HG) levels, reduced abnormal histone hypermethylation, and restored myeloid differentiation (Stein 2017). Additionally, enasidenib reduces blast counts and increases percentages of mature myeloid cells.
Distribution: 55.8 L.
Protein binding: Parent drug: 98.5%; AGI-16903 (metabolite): 96.6%.
