Measured: Response was assessed following every 3 treatment cycles until treatment discontinuation; median duration of treatment was 198 days (AZA) and 171 days (DUR) in the AZA + DUR group and 203 days in the AZA alone group.
Secondary outcomes (22)
MDS Cohort: Kaplan Meier Estimate of Time to First Response
Time to first response is defined as the time from randomization to the earliest date any response (complete remission (CR), partial remission (PR), marrow complete remission (mCR), and/or hematological improvement (HI)) based on International Working Group (IWG) 2006 response criteria for MDS and central review. Participants who did not achieve any defined response were censored at the date of last adequate response assessment, disease progression, or death, whichever occurred first. Response was assessed following every 3 treatment cycles until treatment discontinuation.
Measured: From randomization to the earliest date any response (up to approximately 34 months)
MDS Cohort: Kaplan Meier Estimate of Relapse-free Survival
Relapse-free survival is defined as the time from the date of first documented response (complete remission (CR), partial remission (PR)) to the date of disease relapse or death from any cause, whichever occurred first according to the International Working Group (IWG) 2006 response criteria for MDS and central review. Participants who were still alive and progression-free were censored at the date of their last response assessment. Participants who received a subsequent therapy before the date of disease relapse or death were censored at the time of subsequent therapy. Relapse after CR or PR is defined as at least one of the following: •Return to pretreatment bone marrow blast % •Decrement of ≥ 50% from maximum remission/response levels in granulocytes or platelets •Reduction in hemoglobin concentration by ≥ 1.5 g/dL or transfusion dependence. Response was assessed following every 3 treatment cycles until treatment discontinuation.
Measured: From randomization to to the date of disease relapse or death from any cause, whichever occurred first (up to approximately 34 months)
MDS Cohort: Percentage of Participants Who Achieved a Cytogenetic Response
Cytogenetic response is defined as the percentage of participants who achieved a complete cytogenetic response or partial cytogenetic response according to the International Working Group (IWG) 2006 response criteria and central review. Complete cytogenetic response: Disappearance of the baseline chromosomal abnormality without appearance of new abnormalities. Partial cytogenetic response: At least 50% reduction of the chromosomal abnormality. Response was assessed following every 3 treatment cycles until treatment discontinuation.
Measured: From randomization up to approximately 34 months
MDS Cohort: Kaplan-Meier Estimate of Progression-free Survival (PFS)
Progression-free survival is defined as the time from randomization to the first documented progressive disease (PD), relapse, or death due to any cause during or after the treatment period, whichever occurred first, according to the International Working Group (IWG) 2006 response criteria for MDS and central review. Participants who were still alive and progression-free were censored at the date of their last response assessment. Progressive disease is defined as follows: - an increase in BM blasts relative to nadir: •If nadir less than 5% blasts: ≥ 50% increase in blasts to > 5% blasts •If nadir 5% - 10% blasts: ≥ 50% increase in blasts to > 10% blasts •If nadir 10% - 20% blasts: ≥ 50% increase in blasts to > 20% blasts •If nadir 20% - 30% blasts: ≥ 50% increase in blasts to > 30% blasts And any of the following: •At least 50% decrement from maximum remission/response levels in granulocytes or platelets •Reduction in Hgb concentration by ≥ 2 g/dL •Transfusion dependence
Measured: From randomization to the first documented progressive disease (PD), relapse, or death due to any cause (up to approximately 34 months)
MDS Cohort: Kaplan-Meier Estimate of Duration of Response
Duration of response is defined as the time from when the first overall response (complete remission (CR), partial remission (PR), marrow complete remission (mCR), and/or hematological improvement (HI)) was observed until relapse, progressive disease (PD), or death, as defined by the International Working Group (IWG) 2006 response criteria and central review. If no relapse, PD, or death was observed, the duration of response was censored at the last response assessment date that the participant was known to be progression-free. Response was assessed following every 3 treatment cycles until treatment discontinuation.
Measured: From randomization to the first overall response, or death (up to approximately 34 months)
MDS Cohort: Kaplan-Meier Estimate of Time to AML Transformation
Participants were monitored for transformation to acute myeloid leukemia (AML) until death, lost to follow-up, withdrawal of consent for further data collection, or the end of the trial.

Participants with no transformation to AML were censored at the date of their last disease assessment.
Measured: From randomization to the date the participant had documented transformation to AML (up to approximately 34 months)
MDS Cohort: Percentage of Participants With Disease Transformation to AML
Disease transformation to acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is defined as at least 30% myeloblasts in the bone marrow. Participants were monitored for transformation to AML until death, lost to follow-up, withdrawal of consent for further data collection, or the end of the trial.

Measured: From randomization up to approximately 34 months)
AML Cohort: Percentage of Participants With Hematologic Improvement
Hematological improvement was defined as participants with a erythroid response (HI-E), platelet response (HI-P) or neutrophil response (HI-NE) for at least 8 weeks, according to the IWG 2006 response criteria: Hi-E (in participants with pretreatment hemoglobin < 11 g/dL or red blood cell (RBC)-transfusion dependent): Hemoglobin increase of ≥ 1.5 g/dL, or reduction in units of RBC transfusions of at least 4 RBC transfusions/8 weeks compared with the 8 weeks prior to pretreatment. HI-P (in participants with pretreatment platelet count < 100 × 10⁹/L): Absolute increase in platelets of ≥ 30 × 10⁹/L if pretreatment value > 20 × 10⁹/L or increase from < 20 × 10⁹/L to > 20 × 10⁹/L and by at least 100%. HI-N (in participants with pretreatment neutrophils < 1.0 × 10⁹/L): At least 100% increase in neutrophils and an absolute increase of > 0.5 × 10⁹/L. Response was assessed following every 3 treatment cycles until treatment discontinuation.
Measured: From randomization up to approximately 34 months
AML Cohort: Kaplan-Meier Estimate of Duration of Response
Duration of response is defined as the time from the first response morphologic complete remission (CR) or morphologic complete remission with incomplete blood count recovery (CRi)) was observed until relapse, PD, or death based on the IWG 2003 response criteria and central review. If no relapse, PD, or death was observed, the duration of response was censored at the last response assessment date that the participant was known to be progression-free. Response was assessed following every 3 treatment cycles until treatment discontinuation.
Measured: From randomization until relapse, PD, or death (up to approximately 34 months)
Number of Participants With Treatment-emergent Adverse Events (TEAEs)
Treatment emergent adverse events are adverse events (AEs) that occurred or worsened on or after the first dose of study drug (durvalumab or azacitidine) and within 90 days after last dose of durvalumab or 28 days after last dose of azacitidine. A treatment-related TEAE is a TEAE where the causal relationship was assessed by the investigator as "Suspected". The intensity of AEs was graded according to the Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) Version 4.03: Grade 1 (Mild): asymptomatic or mild symptoms; clinical or diagnostic observations only; intervention not indicated. Grade 2 (Moderate): minimal, local or noninvasive intervention indicated; limiting age-appropriate activities of daily living. Grade 3: Severe or medically significant but not immediately life-threatening; hospitalization or prolongation of hospitalization indicated; disabling; limiting self care. Grade 4: Life-threatening consequences; urgent intervention indicated. Grade 5: Death due to AE.
Measured: From first dose to 90 days after last dose of durvalumab or 28 days after last dose of azacitidine proir to the extension study (up to approximately 34 months)
Kaplan-Meier Estimate of Overall Survival
Overall survival is defined as the time between randomization and death/censored date. Participants who were alive at the time of the clinical data cut-off were censored at the last known alive date.
Measured: From randomization to date of death or last known alive date (up to approximately 34 months)
One-year Survival
One-year survival is defined as the probability of survival at 1 year from randomization and is represented by the Kaplan-Meier estimate of the percentage of participants alive after 1 year.
Measured: At 12 months after randomization

Clinical summary
The research question as the sponsor registered it. This describes what the study plans to test, not what it found.
The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of subcutaneous azacitidine in combination with durvalumab as compared with subcutaneous azacitidine alone in adults with previously untreated, higher risk MDS who are not eligible for HSCT or in adults ≥ 65 years old with previously untreated AML who are not eligible for HSCT, with intermediate or poor cytogenetic risk.

Primary outcome
MDS Cohort: Overall Response Rate
Time frame: Response was assessed following every 3 treatment cycles until treatment discontinuation; median duration of treatment was 239 days (AZA) and 215 days (DUR) in the AZA + DUR group and 210 days in the AZA alone group.
Overall response rate (ORR) is defined as the percentage of participants achieving a complete remission (CR), partial remission (PR), marrow complete remission (mCR), and/or hematological improvement (HI) based on International Working Group (IWG) 2006 response criteria for MDS and central review. CR: ≤ 5% myeloblasts in bone marrow (BM), and peripheral blood: hemoglobin ≥ 11 g/dL; platelets ≥ 100 × 10⁹/L; neutrophils ≥ 1.0 × 10⁹/L; blasts 0% PR: BM blasts decreased by ≥ 50% but still > 5%; peripheral blood as for CR mCR: BM ≤ 5% myeloblasts and decrease by ≥ 50% HI: Any of the following: •Hemoglobin increase by ≥ 1.5 g/dL or reduction of units of red blood cell (RBC) transfusions of at least 4 RBC transfusions/8 weeks compared with pretreatment •Absolute increase in platelets of ≥ 30 × 10⁹/L if pretreatment value > 20 × 10⁹/L or increase from < 20 × 10⁹/L to > 20 × 10⁹/L and by at least 100% •At least 100% increase in neutrophils and an absolute increase of > 0.5 × 10⁹/L
AML Cohort: Overall Response Rate
Time frame: Response was assessed following every 3 treatment cycles until treatment discontinuation; median duration of treatment was 198 days (AZA) and 171 days (DUR) in the AZA + DUR group and 203 days in the AZA alone group.
Overall response rate for AML is defined as the percentage of participants achieving an overall response of morphologic complete remission (CR) or morphologic complete remission with incomplete blood count recovery (CRi) based on modified IWG 2003 response criteria for AML and central review. CR: The following conditions must be met: •Absolute neutrophil count (ANC) ≥ 1.0 x10⁹/L •Platelet count ≥ 100 x10⁹/L •The bone marrow should contain less than 5% blast cells; •Auer rods should not be detectable; •No platelet, or whole blood transfusions for 7days prior to the date of the hematology assessment.

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 24 inclusion and 58 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 28 Feb 2023. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 103 sites in France, Germany, Italy, Spain, United States and 7 more countries. 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 4 May 2020). 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?
MDS Cohort: Overall Response Rate (time frame: Response was assessed following every 3 treatment cycles until treatment discontinuation; median duration of treatment was 239 days (AZA) and 215 days (DUR) in the AZA + DUR group and 210 days in the AZA alone group.). 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 NCT02775903, which also lists 4 linked publications.
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 28 Feb 2023.
