What is Ivosidenib?
Ivosidenib is a targeted cancer therapy used to treat certain blood cancers, particularly acute myeloid leukemia (AML) with an IDH1 gene mutation. It works by blocking the abnormal enzyme produced by this mutation, helping restore normal cell development.
This medicine is often prescribed for patients who are newly diagnosed or those whose disease has returned or not responded to earlier treatments. Because of its targeted approach, ivosidenib is an important option in precision oncology.
