The mutant IDH1 inhibitor ivosidenib improves outcomes for patients with IDH1-mutated cholangiocarcinoma, but resistance inevitably develops. Mechanisms of resistance and strategies to overcome resistance are poorly understood. Here we describe two patients with IDH1 R132C-mutated metastatic cholangiocarcinoma who developed acquired resistance to ivosidenib. After disease progression, one patient developed an oncogenic IDH2 mutation, and the second patient acquired a secondary IDH1 D279N mutation. To characterize the putative IDH1 resistance mutation, cells expressing the double-mutant were generated. In vitro, IDH1 R132H/D279N produces (R)-2HG less efficiently than IDH1 R132H. However, its binding to ivosidenib is impaired and it retains the ability to produce (R)-2HG and promote cellular transformation in the presence of ivosidenib. The irreversible mutant IDH1 inhibitor LY3410738 binds and blocks (R)-2HG production and cellular transformation by IDH1 R132H/D279N. These resistance mechanisms suggest that IDH1-mutated cholangiocarcinomas remain dependent on (R)-2HG even after prolonged ivosidenib treatment. Sequential mutant IDH inhibitor therapy should be explored as a strategy to overcome acquired resistance to mutant IDH inhibitors.
