About this study

Official title: Phase II Clinical Study of the Clinical Efficacy and Safety of Tosedostat in Atients With Myelodysplastic Syndromes (MDS) After Failure of Hypomethylating Agent-Based Therapy

Study WCMC IST-CTI-MDS evaluates the safety and tolerability of tosedostat in adult patients with pathologically confirmed MDS (< 20% blasts in bone marrow, peripheral blood, or both) by World Health Organization (WHO) classification after failure of hypomethylating agent-based therapy.

Read the detailed description

This is a single-center, open label, two-arm phase II study of clinical activity of tosedostat in adult patients with MDS who have failed prior hypomethylating agent-based therapy. Arm A is defined as Revised International Prognostic Scoring Systems (IPSS-R) very low, low, and intermediate disease. Arm B is defined as IPSS-R high or very high risk disease. The two arms are separate and will enroll simultaneously. The dose of tosedostat will be 120 mg once a day continuously for each 28 day treatment cycle. Patients will be assessed for disease response, on average, every two cycles as defined in the protocol. If patient has no response as defined by the protocol after two cycles, azacitidine 75 mg/m2 SC or IV for 5 days may be combined with tosedostat, at the investigator's discretion.The primary endpoint the study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of tosedostat in two groups of patients with myelodysplastic syndrome who have relapsed after or are refractory or intolerant to azacitidine or decitabine. The primary endpoint for patients with IPSS-R very low, low and intermediate disease is transfusion independence and the primary endpoint for patients with high or very high risk disease is overall survival.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Tosedostat in people with Myelodysplastic Syndrome, run by Weill Medical College of Cornell University 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 30 inclusion and 24 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 12 Jun 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 12 Jun 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?

Over All Survival (time frame: from start of treatment until death, assessed up to a period of 3-4 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 NCT02452346, 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 12 Jun 2018.
