About this study
Official title: Phase I/II Trial of Subcutaneous Decitabine Maximizing Genomic Demethylation in Patients With Myelodysplastic Syndrome.
The purpose of this study was to determine which of the doses of decitabine maximizes genomic demethylation in patients with Myelodysplastic Syndrome (MDS).
Read the detailed description
Phase I: The purpose of this study was to determine which of the subcutaneous doses of decitabine administered twice daily for 5 days maximizes genomic demethylation in patients with MDS
Phase II: To evaluate hematological responses at the dose selected in the Phase I portion of the study.
Note: This study was planned as Phase 1/2 study but only the Phase 1 part was conducted due to a change in product development strategy

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A Phase 1 study testing Subcutaneous Decitabine in people with Myelodysplastic Syndrome, run by Eisai Inc. at 3 sites 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?
The sponsor lists 2 inclusion and 6 exclusion criteria. 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 28 Oct 2015. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 3 sites 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 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.
Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.
Are results available for this study?
The study was stopped early. 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.
What does the primary outcome measure?
Phase I: To determine which of the subcutaneous (SQ) doses of decitabine administered twice daily for 5 days maximizes genomic demethylation in patients with MDS. (time frame: Up to 8 cycles (224 days)). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
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 28 Oct 2015; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 8 Nov 2026.
