About this study

Official title: A Phase II Trial of Revlimid® (Lenalidomide) and Low Dose Vidaza® (Azacitidine) in Patients With Low - Intermediate-1 Risk Myelodysplastic Syndromes

This phase II study will evaluate the safety and efficacy of combining two active agents;Revlimid® (lenalidomide) and low dose Vidaza® (azacitidine) for the treatment of patients with low to intermediate-1 MDS excluding patients with 5 q deletion. The rationale for adding Vidaza® (azacitidine) after 3 months of revlimid monotherapy is that combination therapy will result in higher response rates, and potentially longer response duration than that achieved with either agent.

STUDY OBJECTIVES:

Read more

Primary:

To determine the safety and tolerability of the combination of Revlimid® (lenalidomide) and low dose Vidaza® (azacitidine) in patients with low - intermediate-1 risk MDS non 5 q deletion who have not responded after 3 months of Revlimid® (lenalidomide) monotherapy

Secondary:

To determine the response rate in patients with low - intermediate-1 risk MDS non 5 q deletion receiving Revlimid® (lenalidomide) in combination with low dose Vidaza® (azacitidine), as defined by the IWG 2006 Revised Response Criteria

Eligibility criteria

  1. Understand and voluntarily sign an informed consent form.
  2. Age 18 years at the time of signing the informed consent form.
  3. Able to adhere to the study visit schedule and other protocol requirements.

  8. Serum bilirubin levels < 1.5 times the upper limit of the normal range for the laboratory (ULN). Higher levels are acceptable if these can be attributed to active hemolysis or ineffective erythropoiesis.
  9. Serum glutamic-oxaloacetic transaminase (SGOT) (aspartate aminotransferase [AST]) or serum glutamic-pyruvic transaminase (SGPT) (alanine aminotransferase [ALT]) levels < 2 x ULN.
  10. Serum creatinine levels < 1.5 x ULN
  11. Absolute neutrophil count > 1000/mm³
  12. Platelet count > 30,000/mm³

What participants receive

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

  • Lenalidomide and azacitidine combinationDrug

    Also called lenalidomide, Azacitidine

    lenalidomide 10 mg will be administered orally on Days 1-28 of each 28-day cycle. Patients who fail to achieve an erythroid response per 2006 IWG criteria after 3 cycles of monotherapy will receive lenalidomide at the same dose administered in cycle 3 and low-dose azacitidine25 mg/m2 subcutaneously (SC) or intravenously (IV) for 5 days (on Days 1-5) of every 28-day cycle.

    Patients who fail to respond (2006 IWG criteria) after receiving two cycles of combination therapy will receive lenalidomide at the same dose administered in Cycle 3 and azacitidine 50 mg/m2 SC or IV given daily on Days 1-5 of each 28-day cycle, if no grade 4 toxicity developed or no delay greater than 2 weeks in starting a new cycle was experienced during the first 2 cycles of combination therapy.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Lenalidomide and azacitidine combination in people with MDS, run by Rush University Medical Center 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 9 inclusion and 9 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 19 Nov 2020. 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.

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 2 Nov 2020). 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?

Safety and Tolerability of Revlimid and Azacitidine Combination (time frame: Study was closed and outcome unable to be measured.). 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 19 Nov 2020.
