What participants receive

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

  • FDA-approved drug or combination of drugsDrug

    Patients assigned to this arm will receive an FDA-approved drug or combination of drugs. Dosing and treatment schedule will follow the package insert for the selected drug(s).

  • FLAG inductionDrug

    Patients will receive 30 mg/m2 per day intravenously of fludarabine for 5 days and 2000 mg/m2 per day intravenously of cytarabine for 5 days. 5 mg/kg per day of granulocyte colony stimulating factor (G-CSF) may be given subcutaneously beginning on Day 1 of each treatment until absolute granulocyte count > 500/ microliter for 3 days.

  • 7 + 3 inductionDrug

    Patients will receive 100-200 mg/m2 per day intravenously of cytarabine for 7 days, plus either 45-60 mg/m2 per day intravenously of daunorubicin or 9-12 mg/m2 per day intravenously of idarubicin for 3 days.

  • Low-dose cytarabineDrug

    Patients will receive 20 mg/m2 per day subcutaneously of cytarabine for 10 days every 28 days.

  • Supportive care aloneOther

    Patients will receive one or more of the following: blood product transfusions, antibiotics, granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF), erythropoietic stimulating factors, and iron chelation.

  • Computational biology simulations softwareDevice

    Genetic testing results for each patient randomized to this arm will be used by a computational biology simulations software program to generate a personalized map of dysregulated metabolic pathways contributing to the patient's disease. This map will then be used to digitally screen for potentially therapeutic FDA-approved drugs or drug combinations to target the dysregulated metabolic pathways.

Study groups in NCT03446638
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Computational Biology-Informed TreatmentExperimentalPatients randomized to this arm will receive an FDA-approved drug or combination of drugs predicted to have a therapeutic effect based on their individual MDS disease genetic profile by a computational biology simulation software program. The specific drug or combination of drugs that a patient on this arm will receive will be decided jointly by a molecular oncology board comprised of physicians, pharmacists, and nurse coordinators and the treating physician. Patients will receive a minimum of 2 months and a maximum of 4 months of treatment with the selected drug or combination of drugs.
Receives: Drug: FDA-approved drug or combination of drugs; Device: Computational biology simulations software
Standard of Care TreatmentActive comparatorPatients randomized to this arm will receive either one of three standard of care treatment regimens of the treating physician's choice (low-dose cytarabine, 7 + 3 induction, or FLAG induction) or supportive care alone. Patients will receive a minimum of 2 months and a maximum of 4 months of the selected treatment regimen or of supportive care alone.
Receives: Drug: FLAG induction; Drug: 7 + 3 induction; Drug: Low-dose cytarabine; Other: Supportive care alone

What is being measured

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

  1. Difference in overall response, as measured by International Working Group (IWG) 2006 criteria for response in MDS

    Difference in overall response (number of patients who achieve complete response, partial response, stable disease, or hematologic improvement per IWG 2006 criteria) between patients treated with computational biology-informed therapy vs. those treated with standard of care regimens

    Measured: 4 months

Secondary outcomes (7)
  1. Difference in safety and feasibility, as measured by CTCAE v4.0 criteria

    Difference in safety and feasibility, as measured by CTCAE v4.0 criteria, between patients treated with computational biology-informed treatment and those who receive a standard of care regimen

    Measured: 5 months

  2. Difference in time to death between patients treated with computational biology-informed therapy and those treated with standard of care regimens

    Measured: 3 years

  3. Difference in time to progression to acute myeloid leukemia (AML), as measured by IWG 2006 criteria for response in MDS, between patients treated with computational biology-informed therapy and those treated with standard of care regimens

    Measured: 4 months

  4. Difference in time to disease relapse, as measured by IWG 2006 criteria for response in MDS, between patients treated with computational biology-informed therapy and those treated with standard of care regimens

    Measured: 4 months

  5. Difference in time to best response, as measured by IWG 2006 criteria for response in MDS, between patients treated with computational biology-informed therapy and those treated with standard of care regimens

    Measured: 4 months

  6. Difference in change in myeloblast percentage between patients treated with computational biology-informed therapy and those treated with standard of care regimens

    Measured: 4 months

  7. Difference in blood transfusion rate between patients treated with computational biology-informed therapy and those treated with standard of care regimens

    Measured: 7 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing FDA-approved drug or combination of drugs, FLAG induction and 7 + 3 induction in people with Myelodysplastic Syndromes, run by University of Florida 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 3 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: withdrawn, as of the sponsor's last update on 11 Jun 2019. 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.

Are results available for this study?

The study was withdrawn before enrolling participants, so there are no results.

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?

Difference in overall response, as measured by International Working Group (IWG) 2006 criteria for response in MDS (time frame: 4 months). 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 11 Jun 2019.
