Participant Flow

Recruitment took place at an academic medical center.

Four screened subjects did not meet eligibility criteria. Forty subjects were enrolled, but one withdrew after randomization without receiving treatment, and is listed as a "non-completer". Thus, data are presented for 39 participants.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Research blood draw will be obtained at baseline, and at 2-4 hr (on day 1), 1 wk, and 4 wk after initiation of cycles 1 and 2.

Population: N/A: data were not collected on this outcome; initial F actin polymerization assay was unreliable and not reproducible; hence, this outcome could not be pursued.

Correlation to be determined upon completion of study treatment

Outcome measures

Outcome data not reported

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Research bone marrow aspirate is obtained at baseline and after completion of 2 cycles of therapy (approximately 56 days)

Population: The actin polymerization assay that was to be used for this outcome was not reproducible and data were not analyzed.

Research bone marrow aspirate is obtained to assess response (optional, but recommended), and to document complete remission, if applicable. Correlation to be determined upon completion of study treatment

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Research blood draw will be obtained at baseline, and at 2-4 hr (on day 1), 1 wk, and 4 wk after initiation of cycles 1 and 2.

Population: The actin polymerization assay that was to be used for this outcome was not reproducible; hence, the cytokine profile of actin polymerized cells could not be pursued. Data were not analyzed.
