About this study

Official title: Phase II Study of CC-5013 in Myelofibrosis

The goal of this clinical research study is to learn if CC-5013 (lenalidomide) can help to control myelofibrosis. The safety of lenalidomide in the treatment of myelofibrosis will also be studied.

Read the detailed description

Lenalidomide blocks the activity of a substance in the blood called tumor necrosis factor alpha. Tumor necrosis factor alpha is a substance that is believed to prevent new blood cells from forming in the bone marrow. Lenalidomide is also believed to help the body's immune system fight diseases.

Before treatment starts, you will have a complete physical exam, including blood (about 3 teaspoonfuls) and urine tests. A bone marrow sample will be taken. To collect a bone marrow sample, an area of the hip or chest bone is numbed with anesthetic and a small amount of bone marrow is withdrawn through a large needle. An ECG (test to measure the electrical activity of the heart) may be performed.

Women who are able to have children must have a negative pregnancy test [blood (about 1 teaspoon) or urine]. These pregnancy tests must occur within 10 - 14 days and again within 24 hours before the start of lenalidomide. Women who are able to have children with regular or no menstruation must have a pregnancy test weekly for the first 28 days and then every 28 days while on therapy (including breaks in therapy); when they stop taking lenalidomide and at Day 28 after the last dose of lenalidomide. Females with irregular menstruation must have a pregnancy test weekly for the first 28 days and then every 14 days while on therapy (including breaks in therapy), when they stop taking lenalidomide and at Day 14 and Day 28 after the last dose of lenalidomide.

You are considered to be a woman who is able to have children if you are a sexually mature female who: 1) has not undergone a hysterectomy or bilateral oophorectomy; or 2) has not been naturally postmenopausal for at least 24 consecutive months (i.e., has had menses at any time in the preceding 24 consecutive months).

You will take 2 lenalidomide capsules by mouth daily. You should swallow lenalidomide capsules whole with water at the same time each day. Do not break, chew or open the capsules. If you miss a dose of lenalidomide, take it as soon as you remember on the same day. If you miss taking your dose for the entire day, take your regular dose the next scheduled day (do NOT take double your regular dose to make up for the missed dose).

If your platelet count is less than 100,000 at the time of study enrollment, the dose will be one capsule daily. The dose may be decreased depending on side effects. The dose may be increased if needed to better control the disease. This will be decided cycle by cycle.

During treatment, you will give blood samples (about 1 tablespoon each) about every week. The tests may be repeated more frequently to check for side effects. You will need to return to M. D. Anderson monthly for the first 3 months, then at least every 3 months afterwards (while on the study) in order to be evaluated for response and tolerance to lenalidomide. Only one 28-day cycle of lenalidomide may be given to you for each cycle per month.

You may continue to receive this therapy as long as there are no severe side effects or worsening of the disease. You will be asked to keep diaries documenting when you take the capsules. You will also need to return empty medication bottles at each visit. If you have had 4 to 6 months of treatment without any evidence of benefit, you may be taken off the study.

This is an investigational study. Lenalidomide is a new drug related to the drug called thalidomide. Lenalidomide is approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for the treatment of specific types of myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) and in combination with dexamethasone for patients with multiple myeloma (MM) who have received at least 1 prior therapy. MDS and MM are cancers of the blood. It is currently being tested in a variety of cancer conditions. In this case it is considered investigational. Up to 41 participants may take part in this study. All will be enrolled at M. D. Anderson.

What is being measured

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

  1. Efficacy of CC-5013 in Myelofibrosis

    Response evaluation, sustained for 2 weeks: Complete Remission (Neutrophil count between 1 to 10 x 10^9/L without peripheral blasts in blood or bone marrow); Partial Hematologic Response/Partial Remission (Increase in neutrophil by 50% + above 10^9/L for neutropenia); Hematologic Improvement (increase in Neutrophil count, hemoglobin, platelet count or reduction in blood/marrow blasts) or No Response.

    If nine or < patients respond to therapy (response other than 'No Response'), therapy declared ineffective. However, if 11 or > patients respond to therapy, therapy considered efficacious.

    Measured: 3 - 4 Months for all patients; 24 months for responders

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing CC-5013 in people with Myelofibrosis, run by M.D. Anderson Cancer Center 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 5 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 7 Aug 2012. 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.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 21 Feb 2011). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

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?

Efficacy of CC-5013 in Myelofibrosis (time frame: 3 - 4 Months for all patients; 24 months for responders). 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 7 Aug 2012.
