About this study

Official title: A Phase II Study of Sunitinib Malate (Sutent®; SU11248) in Patients With Intermediate-2 or High-Risk Myelodysplastic Syndrome or Chronic Myelomonocytic Leukemia

This phase II trial is studying how well sunitinib works in treating patients with myelodysplastic syndromes or chronic myelomonocytic leukemia. Sunitinib may stop the growth of abnormal cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth.

Read the detailed description

OBJECTIVES:

  1. Determine the overall response rate (complete response, partial response, or hematological improvement) in patients with intermediate-2 or high-risk myelodysplastic syndromes or chronic myelomonocytic leukemia treated with sunitinib malate.

II. Determine the duration of response in patients treated with this drug. III. Determine the overall survival of patients treated with this drug. IV. Determine the progression-free survival of patients treated with this drug. V. Determine the time to disease progression in patients treated with this drug.

VI. Determine the toxicity of this drug in these patients.

OUTLINE: This is a multicenter study.

Patients receive oral sunitinib malate once daily on days 1-28. Courses repeat every 4 weeks in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

After completion of study treatment, patients are followed at 3-4 weeks and then monthly thereafter.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing sunitinib malate in people with Chronic Myelomonocytic Leukemia and de Novo Myelodysplastic Syndromes, run by National Cancer Institute (NCI) at 4 sites in 2 countries.

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 10 inclusion and 32 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 4 Sep 2018. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 4 sites in Canada, 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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 1 Sep 2014). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

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?

Overall Response Rate (Complete Response, Partial Response, or Hematologic Improvement) Defined by the International Working Group Criteria (time frame: Up to 6 years). 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 4 Sep 2018.
