About this study

Official title: Genomic Predictors of Decitabine Response in AML/MDS

This clinical trial studies potential genetic markers which might be used to predict which patients with acute myeloid leukemia or myelodysplastic syndromes respond to decitabine. This study will contribute to the efforts to find effective and less toxic therapies to provide durable remissions in a significant proportion of elderly AML patients.

Being tested
decitabine
Medical subject headings
Leukemia, Myeloid, Acute, Myelodysplastic Syndromes

What participants receive

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

  • decitabineDrug

    Also called 5-aza-dCyd, 5AZA, DAC, Dacogen, deoxyazacytidine, dezocitidine

Study groups in NCT01687400
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
DecitabineExperimentalPatients receive decitabine IV over 1 hour on days 1-10 of a 28-day cycle. Treatment continues for 2 cycles. Patients then receive decitabine IV over 1 hour on days 1-10, 1-5, or 1-3 (depending on response). Treatment continues in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.
Receives: Drug: decitabine

What is being measured

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

  1. Correlation of Patient Specific Mutations With Overall Response Rate

    -Best response after 4 treatment cycles as assessed according to International Working Group (IWG) criteria; bone marrow for gene sequencing will be collected at baseline; mutations will be correlated with overall response rate

    --Complete remission (CR), Complete remission with incomplete hematologic recovery (CRi), Marrow complete remission (mCR), Partial remission (PR), Stable disease (SD), Progressive disease (PD)

    Measured: 4 months (4 treatment cycles)

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Compare Outcomes of a 10-day Decitabine Per Cycle Regimen to a 5-day Regimen (Historical Controls)

    The overall response rate (CR/CRi/mCR/PR) and complete response rate (CR/CRi/mCR) will be compared with historical controls. Response assessed according to IWG criteria.

    Measured: 4 months (4 treatment cycles)

  2. Rate of Mutation Clearance During Treatment

    Samples collected at baseline and after 10, 28 and 56 days of therapy; the rate of mutation clearance was measured as mean VAF change per day of treatment and was estimated using linear mixed model for repeated measurement data .

    Measured: Up to Day 56

  3. Peripheral Blood Decitabine Plasma Levels

    • To determine whether steady state serum concentrations of decitabine correlated with responses
    • Complete remission (CR), Complete remission with incomplete hematologic recovery (CRi), Partial remission (PR), Stable disease (SD), Progressive disease (PD), Not applicable (NA) - assessed according to International Working Group (IWG) criteria

    Measured: Day 4

  4. Change in Bone Marrow Methylcytosine

    -Change of total bone marrow deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) methylcytosine from baseline to Day 10

    Measured: Baseline and Day 10

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing decitabine in people with Leukemia, Myeloid, Acute and Myelodysplastic Syndromes, run by Washington University School of Medicine 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 18 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 2 Oct 2018. 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 Oct 2018). 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?

Correlation of Patient Specific Mutations With Overall Response Rate (time frame: 4 months (4 treatment cycles)). 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 NCT01687400, 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 2 Oct 2018.
