About this study

Official title: A Phase-2 Study To Determine Efficacy and Safety of Luspatercept in Subjects With Myeloproliferative Neoplasm-Associated Myelofibrosis and Anemia With or Without Red Blood Cell-Transfusion Dependence

This is a Phase 2, multicenter, open-label study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of luspatercept in subjects with MPN-associated myelofibrosis and anemia with and without RBC-transfusion dependence. The study is divided into a Screening Period, a Treatment Period (consisting of a Primary Phase, a Day 169 Disease Response Assessment, and an Extension Phase), followed by a Posttreatment Follow-up Period.

Read the detailed description

Subjects satisfying the eligibility criteria will be assigned to 1 of the following cohorts (which are enrolling in parallel) based on their eligibility:

  • Cohort 1 (subjects with anemia only that are not currently receiving RBC transfusions) - Cohort 2: (subjects that are RBC-transfusion dependent)
  • Cohort 3A: (subjects on ruxolitinib as part of their standard of care therapy that have anemia only)
  • Cohort 3B: (subjects on ruxolitinib as part of their standard of care therapy that are RBC-transfusion dependent) Overall, the study will enroll approximately 100 subjects worldwide.

What participants receive

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

  • LuspaterceptDrug

    Also called ACE-536

    Luspatercept is a recombinant fusion protein consisting of a modified form of the extracellular domain of the human active in receptor type IIB linked to the IgG1 Fc domain. Luspatercept, through a mechanism of action different from erythropoietin, works to correct ineffective erythropoiesis by promoting late-stage maturation of erythroblasts.

What is being measured

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

  1. The Number of Participants With Anemia Responses Over Any 84-Day Period During the Primary Treatment Period

    The number of participants that achieved anemia response as it relates to hemoglobin (Hgb) increase and red blood cell (RBC)-transfusion independence is defined below:

    Cohorts 1 (anemia only) and 3A: The number of participants achieving ≥ 1.5 g/dL hemoglobin increase from baseline over any consecutive 84-day period without an RBC transfusion from Day 1 up through and including Day 168.

    Cohorts 2 (RBC-transfusion dependent) and 3B: The number of participants who become RBC-transfusion free over any consecutive 84-day period from Day 1 up through and including Day 168.

    Baseline value is defined as the last value (including "unscheduled") measured on or before the first dose.

    Measured: Any consecutive "rolling" 84-day period from Day 1 through and including Day 168

Secondary outcomes (20)

  1. Time to Anemia Response During the Primary Treatment Period

    Time to anemia response follows the definitions below:

    Cohorts 1 (anemia only) and 3A: Time between first administration of luspatercept and the first hemoglobin increase of ≥ 1.5 g/dL from baseline that starts a consecutive 84-day period of consecutive increase ≥ 1.5 g/dL without RBC transfusions.

    Cohorts 2 (RBC-transfusion dependent) and 3B: Time between first administration of luspatercept and the first day of an RBC transfusion-free period of 84 days.

    Baseline value is defined as the last value (including "unscheduled") measured on or before the first dose.

    Measured: From first dose up to first onset of anemia response (calculated from Day 1 through and including Day 168)

  2. Duration of Anemia Response

    The duration of anemia response is defined as the duration of time from first day of longest response to the last day of longest response. Participants who achieved and maintained the anemia response at the time of the analysis are censored at the efficacy cutoff date. For Cohorts 1 and 3A, an anemia responder was defined as a subject with ≥ 1.5 g/dL hemoglobin increase from baseline over any consecutive 84-day period without an RBC transfusion. For Cohorts 2 and 3B, an anemia responder was defined as a subject who becomes RBC transfusion free over any consecutive 84-day period.

    Baseline value is defined as the last value (including "unscheduled") measured on or before the first dose.

    Measured: From first dose through last day of longest response (calculated from Day 1 through end of treatment, up to approximately 232 weeks)

  3. The Number of RBC Units Transfused Per Participant Per 28 Days (Cohorts 2 and 3B Only)

    Frequency of RBC transfusion is defined as the mean number of RBC units transfused per participant every 4 weeks (28 days). The primary treatment period is from Day 1 to and including Day 168. The entire treatment period is from Day 1 through the end of treatment.

    Measured: From Day 1 through end of treatment (up to approximately 232 weeks).

  4. The Number Participants Achieving >=50% RBC Transfusion Burden Reduction From Baseline Over Any 84-Day Period (Cohorts 2 and 3B Only)

    The number of participants who reduce their transfusion burden by ≥ 50% from baseline over any consecutive 84-day period. Baseline is defined as average number of RBC units per 28 days over the 84 days period on or prior to the C1D1 date. The primary treatment period is from Day 1 to and including Day 168. The entire treatment period is from Day 1 through the end of treatment.

    Measured: Baseline and from Day 1 through end of treatment (up to approximately 232 weeks).

  5. The Number of Participants Who Achieve ≥ 50% Reduction in Fatigue Symptom as Measured by the Myeloproliferative Neoplasms Symptom Assessment Form Total Symptom Score (MPN-SAF TSS)

    Symptoms response improvement will be assessed using the number of participants who achieve ≥ 50% reduction in fatigue symptoms. Fatigue is 1 out of 10 total symptoms scored on a 0 (absent/as good as it can be) to 10 (worst imaginable/as bad as it can be).

    The primary treatment period is from Day 1 to and including Day 168. The entire treatment period is from Day 1 through the end of treatment. Baseline is defined as the last value on or before the first dose of study drug.

    Last Available = Last available assessment on or before the end of the treatment period.

    Mean = Mean value of the weekly assessments over the treatment period.

    Measured: Baseline and from Day 1 through end of treatment (up to approximately 232 weeks)

  6. The Number of Participants Who Achieve ≥ 50% Reduction in Total Symptom Score (TSS) as Measured by the Myeloproliferative Neoplasms Symptom Assessment Form Total Symptom Score (MPN-SAF TSS)

    TSS includes 10 items - worst fatigue, concentration, early satiety, inactivity, night sweats, itching, bone pain, abdominal discomfort, weight loss, and fevers, scored on a 0 (absent/as good as it can be) to 10 (worst imaginable/as bad as it can be). For participants who completed at least six of these 10 items, the MPN-SAF TSS was computed as the average of the observed items multiplied by 10 to achieve a 0-to-100 scale. The MPN-SAF TSS thus had a possible range of 0 to 100.

    The primary treatment period is from Day 1 to and including Day 168. The entire treatment period is from Day 1 through the end of treatment. Baseline is defined as the last value on or before the first dose of study drug.

    Last Available = Last available assessment on or before the end of the treatment period.

    Mean = Mean value of the weekly assessments over the treatment period.

    Measured: Baseline and from Day 1 through end of treatment (up to approximately 232 weeks)

  7. Mean Changes in the Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy - Anemia (FACT-An) Total Scores Over the Study Compared to Baseline

    The Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy - Anemia (FACT-An) questionnaire includes 47 items rating on a 5-point Likert scale from 0 (not at all) to 4 (very much) on five primary subscales:

    • Physical well-being (sum of 7 items, score range from 0-28)
    • Social/Family well-being (sum of 7 items, score range from 0-28)
    • Emotional well-being (sum of 6 items, score range from 0-24)
    • Functional well-being (sum of 7 items, score range from 0-28)
    • Anemia-related symptoms (sum of 20 items, score range from 0-80)

    A total score for the FACT-An can be calculated by summing the five primary subscales with a score range from 0-188. Higher scores representing better quality of life. Baseline is defined as the last value on or before the first dose of study drug.

    Measured: Day 169 and End of treatment (up to approximately 232 weeks)

  8. Mean Change in EQ-5D-5L Utility Score Compared to Baseline

    The European Quality of Life 5D-5L Scale (EQ-5D-5L) assesses general health-related quality of life. Health is defined in 5 dimensions: mobility, self-care, usual activities, pain/discomfort, and anxiety/depression. Each dimension has 5 levels: no problems, slight problems, moderate problems, severe problems, and extreme problems. Responses are coded so that a '1' indicates no problem, and '5' indicates the most serious problem. The responses for the 5 dimensions are combined in a 5-digit number. The EQ-5D-5L health utility index for this analysis will be derived using the United Kingdom (UK) value sets based on UK time trade-off (TTO) valuation techniques and will use the Decision Support Unit (DSU) model to cross-walk to the EQ-5D-3L value set from the UK to derive a single index value. The EQ-5D-3L health utility index based on the UK population weights range from -0.594 to 1.0 with higher scores indicating higher health utility.

    Measured: Day 169 and End of treatment (up to approximately 232 weeks)

  9. The Number of Participants Treatment-Emergent Adverse Events (TEAE)

    TEAE is defined as any AEs that begin or worsen on or after the day of the first dose. An AE is any noxious, unintended, or untoward medical occurrence that may appear or worsen in a subject during the course of a study. An SAE is any AE occurring at any dose that: results in death, is life-threatening, requires inpatient hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization, results in persistent or significant disability/incapacity, is a congenital anomaly/birth defect, or constitutes an important medical event. The severity/intensity of AEs will be graded based on the Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE, version 4.03) where Grade 3 = Severe, Grade 4 = Life-threatening, and Grade 5 = Death.

    Measured: From first dose through 42 days after the last dose (up to approximately 238 weeks)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Luspatercept in people with Primary Myelofibrosis and Anemia, run by Celgene at 47 sites in 4 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 20 inclusion and 45 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 24 Aug 2023. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 47 sites in United States, Italy, United Kingdom, France. 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 24 Aug 2023). 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?

The Number of Participants With Anemia Responses Over Any 84-Day Period During the Primary Treatment Period (time frame: Any consecutive "rolling" 84-day period from Day 1 through and including Day 168). 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 NCT03194542, 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 24 Aug 2023.
