Trial Outcomes & Findings for Study of Azacytidine Followed by GM-CSF in Patients With Myelodysplastic Syndrome (MDS) (NCT NCT01542684)

NCT ID: NCT01542684

Last Updated: 2014-04-30

Results Overview

ORR is percentage total participants with overall response (Complete Response (CR) or Partial Response (PR)) within two treatment cycles. Response based on modified International Working Group (IWG) criteria: Complete response - Bone marrow: 5% myeloblasts with normal maturation of all cell lines, Persistent dysplasia noted, Peripheral blood Hgb 11 g/dL, Platelets 100x109/L, Neutrophils 1.0x109/L, Blasts 0%. Partial response: All CR criteria if abnormal before treatment except: Bone marrow blasts decreased by 50% over pretreatment but still \> 5% , Cellularity and morphology not relevant; Stable disease - Failure to achieve at least PR, but no evidence of progression for \> 8 weeks; No Response or Failure - Death during treatment or disease progression characterized by worsening of cytopenias, increase in percentage of bone marrow blasts, or progression to a more advanced MDS French-American-British (FAB) classification subtype than pretreatme

Measure
Azacytidine + GM-CSF
Azacytidine administered intravenously (IV) or subcutaneously (SQ) at starting dose of 40 mg/m\^2, daily for 4 days. Granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF) administered IV or subcutaneously at 250 mcg/m\^2 one day (the next day) after completion of azacytidine treatment, for 3 consecutive days. Each treatment cycle lasts at least 4 weeks.
