Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages 18 years and older
  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Adult, Older adult

Who may be able to join

  • Diagnosis of CMML as defined by the WHO criteria
  • Persistent peripheral blood monocytosis of more than 1 x 109/L for at least 3 months and
  • No Philadelphia chromosome or BCR-ABL fusion gene and
  • Less than 20% blasts in the blood or bone marrow and
  • Dysplasia in one or more of the myeloid lineages* * In the absence of dysplasia in one or more of the myeloid lineages, the diagnosis of CMML can still be made if a) - c) are met AND an acquired clonal chromosomal abnormality is present in the bone marrow cells, the monocytosis has been present for more than 3months AND all other causes of monocytosis have been ruled out.
  • Age of 18 years or older. Both men and women and members of all races and ethnic groups will be included.

  • ECOG performance status <3
  • Adequate organ function defined as:
  • Total bilirubin <2.5 x upper limit of normal (ULN)
  • Direct bilirubin <2 x ULN
  • Creatinine <2 mg/dL
  • ALT and AST <2.5 x ULN
  • Ability to understand and the willingness to sign a written informed consent document
  • Willingness to use adequate contraception for the duration of the study

Who cannot join

  • Progression to acute myeloid leukemia (defined by at least 20% blasts in the blood or bone marrow). In the unlikely event that progression to acute leukemia is demonstrated in the "screening" bone marrow biopsy, it is at the discretion of the investigator to enroll the patient after adequate discussion of the findings and alternative therapies. Enrollment of such a patient must be reported to the HCI PI.
  • Presence of activating mutations of the platelet derived growth factor receptors alpha or beta, which would suggest likely benefit from imatinib treatment (these mutations will usually be obvious from karyotyping and fluorescence in situ hybridization studies)
  • Known or suspected hypersensitivity to 5-azacitidine or mannitol
  • Clinically significant heart disease (New York Heart Association Class III or IV) or other serious intercurrent illnesses or psychiatric illness/social situations that would limit compliance with study requirements
  • Major surgery within 28 days before registration (exception: central venous line placement), or lack of full recovery from prior major surgery
  • Prior therapy with a hypomethylating agent
Show all 12Show fewer
  • Cytotoxic chemotherapy less than 2 weeks prior to starting study medication (exception: hydroxyurea and/or anagrelide)
  • Erythropoietin or darbepoietin, G-CSF, GM-CSF, thalidomide or lenalidomide less than 2 weeks from day 1 of cycle 1
  • Concomitant cytotoxic chemotherapy (exception: hydroxyurea for up to 1 week per cycle)
  • Concomitant therapy with other investigational agents
  • Other active malignancies except basal cell carcinoma of the skin and carcinoma in situ of the cervix.
  • Pregnancy or breastfeeding (possible risk to the fetus or infant)

About this study

Official title: A Phase II Study of the Efficacy, Safety and Determinants of Response to 5-Azacitidine (Vidaza®) in Patients With Chronic Myelomonocytic Leukemia (CMML)

The primary objective of this study is:

Response to treatment will be evaluated according to the revised International Working Group (IWG) categories natural history, hematologic improvement and cytogenetic response1;2. The primary objective is:

To determine the rate of complete hematologic response and hematologic improvement (according to IWG 2006 criteria) in CMML patients treated with 5-azacitidine.

Read the detailed description

In this study, eligible patients with a confirmed diagnosis of CMML will be treated with 5-azacitidine to determine the rates of complete hematologic response, hematologic improvement, complete and partial cytogenetic response, and overall and progression free survival.

To develop biomarkers associated with response and gain insights into the mechanisms that determine response, gene expression profiling, genome-wide SNP array analysis, microRNA analysis, and DNA methylation analysis will be performed prior to therapy and at defined time points during the study. Phosphoproteomics profiling may be included in the analysis.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • 5-AzacitidineDrug

    Also called Vidaza®

    Administered on Days 1-7 of each Cycle.

    Subcutaneous administration:

    To provide a homogeneous suspension, the contents of the syringe must be re-suspended by inverting the syringe 2-3 times and vigorously rolling the syringe between the palms for 30 seconds immediately prior to administration.

    The 5-azacitidine suspension is administered subcutaneously.

    Intravenous Administration:

    5-Azacitidine solution is administered intravenously. Administer the total dose over a period of 10-40 minutes.

What is being measured

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

  1. Percentage of Patients With Complete Hematologic Response (According to IWG 2006 Criteria) in CMML Patients Treated With 5-azacitidine.

    Complete Hematologic Response is defined as: bone marrow evaluation shows <= 5% myeloblasts with normal maturation of all cells lines; peripheral blood evaluation shows hemoglobin >= 11 g/dL, neutrophils >= 1000/mL, platelets >= 100,000/mL, 0% blasts

    Measured: 24 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing 5-Azacitidine in people with Chronic Myelomonocytic Leukemia, run by University of Utah 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 14 inclusion and 12 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 13 Jun 2016. 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 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 29 Oct 2015). 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?

Percentage of Patients With Complete Hematologic Response (According to IWG 2006 Criteria) in CMML Patients Treated With 5-azacitidine. (time frame: 24 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 13 Jun 2016.
