About this study

Official title: A Pilot Study of Oral Dasatinib in Subjects With MDS and Excess Marrow Blasts

The main purpose of this study is to learn how patients with myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) respond to the study drug dasatinib. The study drug, dasatinib, has been approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for treatment of leukemia, but has not been approved for the treatment of other kinds of cancer. The use of dasatinib in this study is considered experimental.

Read the detailed description

Study Core Period:

The first 16 weeks after the initial dose of dasatinib is called the Study Core Period. Patients who are eligible and chose to participate in this study should expect to take 100 mg of dasatinib daily for 8 weeks. If the study doctor believes that they have not achieved a partial response after 8 weeks of treatment, the dose may be increased to 150 mg per day. The study doctor may lower the dosage of dasatinib if the 100 mg treatment is too strong. If the lower dose of dasatinib is still too strong, the study doctor may decide to take the patient off of the study. The patient will continue to receive supportive care as needed during the duration of the trial as well as after completion of the trial.

During the Study Core Period, participants will have a study visit every 4 weeks. Complete Blood Counts (CBCs) will be obtained every 2 weeks for study purposes and disease monitoring. Bone marrow aspiration and biopsy will be obtained at screening, and at 8 weeks and 16 weeks of treatment for response assessment. Additional bone marrow aspirations and biopsies may be obtained at any other time, to evaluate the disease process, at the doctor's judgment. A bone marrow aspirate and biopsy must be done at the time of study discontinuation.

Study Extension Period:

The time after the first 16 weeks of treatment is called the study extension period. If the patient is responding to the treatment, does not experience disease progression or any severe adverse events, the patient may continue dasatinib treatment for up to 48 weeks. If patients continue after 48 weeks, they will be asked to enroll in a separate extension study for future follow up.

During the Study Extension Period, participants will have a study visit every 4 weeks. Complete Blood Counts (CBCs) will be obtained every 2 or 4 weeks for study purposes and disease monitoring. Bone marrow aspiration and biopsy will be obtained every 16 weeks. A bone marrow aspirate and biopsy must be done at the time of study discontinuation.

Dasatinib Dose EscalationExperimentalPatients will be started on dasatinib at a continuous oral daily dose of 100 mg per day. At 8 weeks, if the initial dose is well tolerated and patient has not achieved a partial response, the dose may be increased to 150 mg per day. All patients will be followed per protocol for a total core period of 16 weeks from the first dose. Responding patients will continue dasatinib treatment for up to 48 weeks in the absence of treatment failure, disease progression, limiting toxicity or death. Patients continuing after 48 weeks will be enrolled in a separate extension study for future follow up.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Number of Participants With Marrow Complete Remission (CR)

    Complete remission (modified IWG); IWG = International MDS Working Group.

    Bone Marrow Response must last ≥4 weeks. Bone marrow evaluation: Bone marrow showing ≤5% myeloblasts with normal maturation of all cell lines.

    Measured: 1 Year 4 Months

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Number of Participants With Hematologic Improvement

    Hematologic improvement in platelets, red blood cell (RBC), neutrophils according to modified IWG Criteria; Cytogenetic response (modified IWG); Change in percentage of blasts in bone marrow and peripheral blood; Src-Tyr416 phosphorylation in medullary myeloblasts. Hematologic improvements must last ≥ 8 weeks.

    Measured: 1 Year 4 Months

  2. Number of Participants With Partial Remission (PR)

    Partial remission (PR) (modified IWG); IWG = International MDS Working Group. All of the CR criteria (if abnormal prior to treatment), except: Bone marrow evaluation: Blasts decreased by ≥ 50% over pretreatment but still >5%. Cellularity and morphology are not relevant.

    Measured: 1 Year 4 Months

  3. Number of Participants With Stable Disease (SD)

    Measured: 1 Year 4 Months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Dasatinib in people with Myelodysplastic Syndromes, run by H. Lee Moffitt Cancer Center and Research Institute 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?

The sponsor lists 17 inclusion and 28 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 16 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.

Are results available for this study?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 25 Jun 2012). 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?

Number of Participants With Marrow Complete Remission (CR) (time frame: 1 Year 4 Months). 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 16 Dec 2013.
