Servier Pharmaceuticals has chosen Onco360 to be a specialty pharmacy partner for Tibsovo (ivosidenib). Tibsovo is the first therapy targeting cancer metabolism for patients with newly diagnosed IDH1-mutated acute myeloid leukemia.
AML is a difficult-to-treat cancer of the blood and bone marrow and is one of the most common types of leukemia in adults with about 20,000 new cases estimated in the United States each year. The IDH1 gene provides instructions for making the enzyme isocitrate dehydrogenase 1, which produces a molecule necessary for cellular processes. IDH1 mutations are present in about 6% to 10% of AML cases.
