What is being measured

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

  1. Percentage of Participants With Hematological Improvement (HI)

    Percentage of participants with hematological improvement (HI) based on International Working Group (IWG) 2006 criteria in participants with very low, low, and intermediate-risk myelodysplastic syndromes treated with Galunisertib plus best supportive care, as assessed by the International Prognostic Scoring System (IPSS-R).

    To be classified as an HI responder, the HI response must have lasted at least 8 weeks (56 days).

    Measured: Baseline through end of study treatment (24 weeks)

  2. Percentage of Participants Who Are Transfusion-free or Have Hemoglobin (Hb) Increase ≥1.5 Grams/Deciliter Maintained for 8 Weeks During Phase 3

    Comparison of the percentage of participants with very low-, low-,and intermediate-risk MDS who were transfusion-free or had an increase ≥1.5 g/dL in hemoglobin (Hb) maintained for at least 8 weeks within the first 24 weeks of treatment with galunisertib plus best supportive care or placebo plus best supportive care and assessed by IPSS-R.

    The Phase 3 portion of this study was not conducted because efficacy level required in phase 2 to move forward to phase 3 was not achieved.

    Measured: Baseline through end of study treatment (24 weeks)

Secondary outcomes (7)
  1. Change From Baseline in Brief Fatigue Inventory (BFI)

    The Brief Fatigue Inventory (BFI) is a brief participant-reported questionnaire that measures the severity of fatigue based on the worst fatigue experienced during the past 24-hours. The severity of fatigue is assessed using an 11-point numeric scale, with 0 = no fatigue and 10 = fatigue as bad as you can imagine.

    Measured: Baseline, Follow up (final visit up to 24 months)

  2. Change From Baseline in EuroQol 5-Dimension 5 Level Instrument

    EuroQol 5-Dimension 5 Level Instrument (EQ-5D-5L) was not conducted, trial terminated prior to Phase 3. No data collected.

    Measured: Phase 3: Baseline, Cycle 2, Cycle 4, Cycle 6 (Cycle = 28 days)

  3. Percentage of Participants With Cytogenetic Response

    Percentage of Participants with Cytogenetic Response with either complete or partial response. Complete cytogenetic response is the disappearance of the chromosomal abnormality without appearance of new ones. Partial cytogenetic response is at least 50% reduction of the chromosomal abnormality.

    Measured: Baseline through end of study treatment (24 weeks)

  4. Percentage of Participants Who Are Hospitalized (Resource Utilization)

    Percentage of any participant with a hospitalization admission and discharge date on the same day are counted as a half-day in the duration of hospitalization.

    Measured: Baseline through end of study treatment (24 weeks)

  5. Population Pharmacokinetics (PK): Mean Population Clearance of Galunisertib

    Population mean (between-participant coefficient variation [CV%]) apparent clearance.

    Measured: Day 1 pre-dose & between 0.5 to 2 hours post dose; Day 14 pre-dose, between 0.5 to 2 & between 3 to 5 hours post dose; Days 15 & 16 (if logistically possible) between 0.5 to 2 hours post dose

  6. Overall Survival (OS)

    Overall survival is defined as the time from the date of first dose to the date of death from any cause.

    Measured: Baseline to date of death from any cause (Up to 2 years)

  7. Number of Participants With a Change in Bone Marrow Fibrosis Grading

    Change from baseline in bone marrow fibrosis measured the number of participants with a change in bone marrow fibrosis grading (negative, mild, moderate, and severe).

    Measured: Baseline, Cycle 6 (Cycle = 28 days)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2/3 study testing Galunisertib in people with Myelodysplastic Syndromes, run by Eli Lilly and Company at 14 sites in 3 countries.

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 6 inclusion and 2 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 11 Sep 2019. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 14 sites in Germany, Spain, Italy. 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. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this combined 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.

Phase 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

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 7 Mar 2019). 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 Participants With Hematological Improvement (HI) (time frame: Baseline through end of study treatment (24 weeks)). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. 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 NCT02008318, 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 11 Sep 2019.
