Abstract Background: Isocitrate dehydrogenase (IDH) mutations are drivers of different tumors. The IDH1R132 mutation is frequently found in glioma (80%), chondrosarcoma (CS, 45%), intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (ICC, 20%), acute myeloid leukemia (AML, 7%), and with low incidences in other solid tumors. Although clinical therapies of mutant IDH inhibition were recently approved for the treatment of AML, few patients benefit from a single therapy with a mutant IDH inhibitor and most of them relapse. Here we report preclinical in vitro and in vivo data on combination therapies of the mIDH1R132 inhibitor BAY 1436032 with standard of care chemotherapies. Methods: in vitro: The sarcoma cell line HT1080 (IDH1R132C), together with two IDH1 wildtype sarcoma cell lines, the SW1353 (IDH2R172S) and SW872 (IDHwt) cell lines, were treated with BAY 1436032 alone and in combination with different standard of care drugs. in vivo: The patient derived xenograft (PDX) ICC model LIXFC2084 (IDH1R132L), the melanoma PDX model MEXF1341 (IDH1R132C) (MEXF1341), the PDX AML model 13PB020 (IDH1R132C) and a sarcoma cell line derived xenograft model HT1080 (IDH1R132C) were included. All models were treated with BAY 1436032 alone and in combination with different standard of care (SOC) drugs. Results: The in vitro treatment with BAY 1436032 unexpectedly increased growth in HT1080 (IDH1R132C) cells with no effect to the control cell lines SW1353 and SW872. In contrast, in vivo, combination of BAY1436032 with everolimus had additive anti-tumor efficacy and was synergistic with cisplatin or the MEK inhibitor refametinib in the treatment of HT1080 xenografts. The combination of BAY 1436032 and refametinib was also additive in the treatment of a melanoma xenograft with IDH1R132C mutation. Another additive efficacy of BAY 1436032 and gemcitabine or cisplatin could be observed in an ICC xenograft model and further in the combination with everolimus in the same model. The combination of BAY 1436032 together with azacitidine in a PDX AML model was also synergistic. Conclusion: These results highlight the combinatorial potential of the mIDH1R132 inhibitor BAY 1436032 with standard of care therapy and the importance of microenvironmental factors, which has to be taken into account when dealing with mutant IDH tumors.
