About this study

Official title: A Phase I/II Clinical Study of JNJ-30979754 (Decitabine) in Patients With Myelodysplastic Syndrome

The purpose of this study is to to determine the recommended dose level of JNJ-30979754 (decitabine) as well as to assess the safety and effectiveness in patients with Myelodysplastic Syndrome (MDS).

Read the detailed description

This is an open-label (both physician and patient know the name and dosage of drug), multi-center study. This study consists of two parts, Phase I and Phase II. In Phase I, approximately 9 participants will be enrolled ie, 3 participants for dose level 1 (15 mg/m2 of JNJ-30979754) and 6 participants for dose level 2 (20 mg/m2 of JNJ-30979754). Once the tolerability of 20 mg/m2 is confirmed additional 30 participants will be included to receive 20 mg/m2 and approximate total participants in Phase II will be 36. This study will include screening period (within 14 days prior to the day of initial administration of Cycle 1) and dosing period (1 cycle consists of administration of study medication for first 5 consecutive days + rested for 23 days; ie, total 28 days). Cycles will be reapeated in participants in whom decitabine was expected to be effective. Safety evaluations will include assessment of adverse events, vital signs, body weight, clinical laboratory tests: hematology, blood biochemistry and urinalysis, cardiopulmonary function tests: ECG, chest X ray and oximeter analysis.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing JNJ-30979754 15 mg/m2 and JNJ-30979754 20 mg/m2 in people with Myelodysplastic Syndrome, run by Janssen Pharmaceutical K.K. at 7 sites in Japan.

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 5 inclusion and 10 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 9 Dec 2013. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 7 sites in Japan. 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 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

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 9 Dec 2013). 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?

Phase II: Overall Remission Rate (ORR): Number of Participants Who Achieved Complete Remission (CR)+Partial Remission (PR) - as Per International Working Group (IWG) Response Criteria (2000) (time frame: Up to 1 years after the last participant enrolled). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT00796003, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 9 Dec 2013.
