About this study

Official title: A Prospective Multicenter Observational Study for Dacogen Long-Term Treatment in Patients With Myelodysplastic Syndrome

The purpose of this study is to investigate the overall response rate (ORR) and safety when treating patients with myelodysplastic syndrome with decitabine. Decitabine is to be administered as long as there is evidence of clinical benefit.

Read the detailed description

This study is a prospective (the study follows a group of individuals over time), open label (all people involved know the identity of the intervention), multicenter, single arm (one group of patients receiving the same treatment), observational study to observe the response rate and safety of decitabine when treating patients with myelodysplastic syndrome with decitabine. Decitabine is to be administered as long as there is evidence of clinical benefit. It will be assessed if the treatment duration could be prolonged by appropriate toxicity management such as an active antibiotic prophylaxis or dose and schedule modification, and whether this leads to potentially increased clinical benefits such as higher response rate, longer time to Acute Myeloid Leukemia, and prolonged overall survival. For safety evaluation, adverse events and peripheral blood findings will be collected. The patient will receive decitabine intravenous injection 20mg/m2 once a day for 5 consecutive days every 4 weeks.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Myelodysplastic Syndromes, run by Janssen Korea, Ltd., Korea at 16 sites in South Korea.

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 5 inclusion and 5 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 25 May 2015. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 16 sites in South Korea. 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?

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?

overall response rate (time frame: every 28 days up to approximately 5 years). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT01400633, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 25 May 2015.
