Who cannot join

  • Any serious medical condition, laboratory abnormality, or psychiatric illness that would prevent the subject from signing the informed consent form.
  • Pregnant or lactating females.

  • Prior > grade 3 (NCI CTC) rash or any desquamation (blistering) while taking thalidomide.
  • Clinically significant anaemia due to factors such as iron, B12 or folate deficiencies,autoimmune or hereditary haemolysis or gastrointestinal bleeding (if a marrow aspirate is not evaluable for storage iron, transferrin saturation must be > 20 % and serum ferritin not less than 50 ng/ml).
  • Use of haematopoietic growth factors within 7 days of the first day of study drug treatment. Use of G-CSF is permitted.
Show all 13Show fewer
  • Concurrent use of erythropoietin
  • Chronic use (>2 weeks) of greater than physiologic doses of a corticosteroid agent (dose equivalent to >10 mg/day of prednisolone) within 28 days of the first day of study lenalidomide treatment.
  • Use of experimental or standard drugs (i.e. chemotherapeutic, immunosuppressive, and cytoprotective agents) for the treatment of MDS within 28 days of the first day of study lenalidomide treatment.
  • Prior history of malignancy other than MDS (except basal cell or squamous cell carcinoma or carcinoma in situ of the cervix or breast) unless the subject has been free of disease for >3 years.
  • Any prior use of lenalidomide.
  • Concurrent use of other anti-cancer agents or treatments. Patients must not have received any form of chemotherapy for at least 4 weeks prior to study entry and must have fully recovered from haematological toxicity associated with this therapy.
  • Known positive for HIV or infectious hepatitis, type A, B or C.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing lenalidomide in people with Myelodysplastic Syndromes, run by King's College Hospital NHS Trust at 1 site in United Kingdom.

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 14 inclusion and 13 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 27 Feb 2019. 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 Kingdom. 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?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

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?

Red blood cell (RBC) transfusion independence. (time frame: monthly). 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 27 Feb 2019.
