About this study

Official title: Phase II Study Of Ixazomib As Maintenance Therapy For Patients With Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML) And High Risk Myelodysplastic Syndrome (MDS) In Remission

The goal of this clinical research study is to learn if ixazomib can prevent AML or MDS from coming back in patients who are in remission. The safety of this drug will also be studied.

Read the detailed description

Study Drug Administration:

Each study cycle is 28 days.

If you are found to be eligible to take part in this study, you will take ixazomib capsules on Days 1, 8 and 15 of each cycle. Ixazomib capsules should be swallowed whole, with water, on an empty stomach (take the dose at least 1 hour before or 2 hours after a meal).

If you miss a dose, take it as soon as you remember, as long as the next scheduled dose is more than 3 days away. If you vomit after taking a dose, do not make up the dose but continue with the next scheduled dose as planned.

You may receive the study drug for up to 12 cycles. If the doctor thinks it is in your best interest, you may be able to continue taking the study drug beyond Cycle 12.

Study Visits:

On Day 1 of each cycle (+/- 1 day):

  • You will have a physical exam.
  • Blood (about 2-3 teaspoons) will be drawn for routine tests.

On Days 8 and 15 of Cycle 1, blood (about 2-3 teaspoons) will be drawn for routine tests.

Every third cycle, you will have a bone marrow aspiration and/or biopsy to check the status of the disease.

Length of Study:

You may continue taking the study drug for as long as the doctor thinks it is in your best interest. You will no longer be able to take the study drug if the disease gets worse, if intolerable side effects occur, or if you are unable to follow study directions.

Your participation on the study will be over after the end-of-study visit.

End-of-Study Visit:

After your last dose of study drug, you will return to the clinic for an end-of-study visit.

  • Blood (about 2-3 tablespoons) will be drawn for routine tests.
  • You will have a bone marrow aspirate and/or biopsy to check the status of the disease.

This is an investigational study. Ixazomib is not FDA-approved or commercially available. It is currently being used for research purposes only. The study doctor can explain how the study drug is designed to work.

Up to 40 participants will be enrolled in this study. All will take part at MD Anderson.

What is being measured

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

    Measured: 84 days

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Ixazomib in people with Leukemia, run by M.D. Anderson Cancer 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 8 inclusion and 16 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 3 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 3 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?

Relapse-Free Survival (RFS) (time frame: 84 days). 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 3 Oct 2018.
