Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The purpose of this study is to find out what the maximal tolerated dose of Velcade can be given with thalidomide in patients with myelodysplasia.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Initial studies using Velcade in myelodysplasia with early results demonstrating that 35% had a partial response and 25% had stable disease. The combination of Velcade and thalidomide has been studied in patients with multiple myeloma, but not in patients with myelodysplasia. The CRR in the MM patients was 22%, with a good safety profile.

This is a phase 1, prospective, open-label, dose escalation study to evaluate the DLT and MTD of velcade with given in combination with thalidomide in patients with myelodysplasia. Treatment will be given as an outpatient. Patients will receive 4 days of Velcade (days 1, 4, 8, 11) and 21 days of thalidomide 50 mg/day for each 21 day cycle. There will be 3 cohorts of 3-6 patients each, plus 10 additional patients. The tree dose levels ill be 0.7, 1.0 and 1.3 mg/m2. Patients may continue to be treated up to 6 cycles. Cycles 2-6 will start within 2 weeks of completion of the previous cycle. Disease response will be evaluated after cycle 3 and 6.
