Trial summary

RATIONALE: Monoclonal antibodies such as gemtuzumab can locate tumor cells and either kill them or deliver tumor-killing substances to them without harming normal cells. PURPOSE: Randomized phase II trial to study the effectiveness of gemtuzumab in treating patients who have myelodysplastic syndrome. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: A Randomized Study Of The Safety And Efficacy Of Two Dose Schedules Of Gemcituzumab Ozogamicin In Patients With Intermediate-2 Or High-Risk Myelodysplastic Syndromes

RATIONALE: Monoclonal antibodies such as gemtuzumab can locate tumor cells and either kill them or deliver tumor-killing substances to them without harming normal cells.

PURPOSE: Randomized phase II trial to study the effectiveness of gemtuzumab in treating patients who have myelodysplastic syndrome.

Read the detailed description

OBJECTIVES: I. Determine the total survival of patients with intermediate-2 or high-risk myelodysplastic syndrome treated with gemtuzumab ozogamicin. II. Assess the quality of life of patients treated with this drug. III. Compare two different dose schedules of this drug in these patients. IV. Determine the safety of this drug in these patients. V. Determine the number of patients treated with this drug that achieve complete remission, partial remission, stable disease, major and minor hematologic improvements, or major and minor cytogenetic responses. VI. Determine the progression-free survival, relapse-free survival, and time to progression to acute myeloid leukemia in patients treated with this drug. VII. Determine the number of transfusions, number of days on IV antibiotics, and the number of days hospitalized in patients treated with this drug. VIII. Determine the possible predictors of response in patients treated with this drug, including age, karyotype, and multi-drug resistance efflux. IX. Determine the pharmacokinetics of this drug in these patients. X. Correlate the results of pharmacogenomic studies to gene activation and response to therapy in patients treated with this drug.

OUTLINE: This is a randomized, open-label, multicenter study. Patients are stratified according to age (60 and under vs over 60) and IPSS score (1.5-2.0 vs 2.5 and greater). Patients are randomized to one of two treatment arms. Arm I: Patients receive gemtuzumab ozogamicin IV over 2 hours on day 1. Arm II: Patients receive gemtuzumab ozogamicin IV over 2 hours on days 1 and 15. After completion of induction therapy, patients in both arms with stable or responding disease may receive post-remission therapy comprising up to 3 additional doses of gemtuzumab ozogamicin approximately 28-42 days apart. Quality of life is assessed at baseline, on day 29 for arm I, on day 43 for arm II, on day 127 for patients that receive additional doses of study drug, and at 8 months for all patients. Patients who do not respond to induction therapy are followed monthly for 8 months and then every 3 months thereafter. Patients who receive post-remission therapy are followed every 3 months.

PROJECTED ACCRUAL: Approximately 128 patients (64 per treatment arm) will be accrued for this study within 12 months.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing gemtuzumab ozogamicin in people with Myelodysplastic Syndromes, run by Jonsson Comprehensive Cancer Center at 1 site in United States.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 19 Dec 2013. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 19 Dec 2013.
