Trial Outcomes & Findings for Lenalidomide and Azacitidine in Treating Patients With Advanced Myelodysplastic Syndromes (NCT NCT00352001)

NCT ID: NCT00352001

Last Updated: 2018-09-19

Results Overview

Participants will be enrolled on the Phase I study portion in blocks of 3 to varying doses of Revlimid® (lenalidomide) and Vidaza® (azacitidine) (Table 1). To determine the MTD, a standard "3+3" design will be used. DLT will be assessed during the first cycle of therapy within each treatment group. No Maximum dose was reach but the go-forward dose agreed upon by the investigators is reported here.

PHASE I: Maximum Tolerated Dose of Azacitidine
75 mg/m2 subcutaneously for 5 days

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: After 4 courses (4 months)

Population: Intention to Treat

For the Phase II study portion, to determine the efficacy (measured as response rate) of the combination therapy as defined by the International Working Group (IWG) criteria (CR, complete remission; PR, partial remission; or HI, hematological improvement. Complete response (CR) is defined as: Disappearance of the chromosomal abnormality without appearance of new ones. Partial response (PR) is defined as: At least 50% reduction of the chromosomal abnormality. Hematologic Improvement (HI) is defined as: red blood cell increase of \>=1.5g/dL, a platelet response of \>=30X10\^9/L or by at least 100% for values starting \<20X10\^9/L, or a neutrophil response of at least 100% and absolute increase of \>0.5X10\^9/L
