About this study

Official title: A Phase 1/2 Study of Sequential Idarubicin + Cytarabine, Followed by Lenalidomide, in Patients With Myelodysplastic Syndrome (RAEB-2) or With Previously Untreated Acute Myeloid Leukemia

The purpose of this study is to:

  • Test the safety of the research study drug, lenalidomide, when given with Idarubicin and Cytarabine
  • See how many respond to combination treatment with lenalidomide, Idarubicin and Cytarabine
  • See how long people respond to this combination therapy
  • See how long people live after being treated with this combination of drugs
Read the detailed description

All three drugs are FDA approved to treat patients in the United States of America. Idarubicin and Cytarabine combination therapy is a standard treatment for patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML). Lenalidomide is FDA approved to retreat patients with Multiple Myeloma or Myelodysplastic syndrome with a specific change in their DNA. Loss of a specific part of DNA is also seen in some patients with AML.

This is a phase 1/2, dose-escalation trial of Lenalidomide given in combination with idarubicin + cytarabine. During phase 1, we will enroll patients with AML involving del 5q31; 2) patients with MDS RAEB-2 associated with monosomy 5 or segmental deletion involving 5q31, either alone or with additional cytogenetic abnormalities, and 3) older patients with any type of karyotypic profile in whom an effective and reliable standard of care remains to be developed. All 3 groups of patients define a population of patients with very poor prognoses. Dose escalation of lenalidomide will use a standard 3x3 design. Dose escalation of Lenalidomide only will take place, while the doses of idarubicin and cytarabine will be constant. This trial will have an induction component, consolidation component, and maintenance component. Overall safety and MTD will be determined from the induction phase only.

During phase 2, we will enroll only patients with AML age ≥ 60 years. During phase 2, the efficacy of this combination of Lenalidomide + idarubicin + cytarabine, at the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) for Lenalidomide (determined during phase 1), will be tested.

What is being measured

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

  1. Phase I: Recommended Phase II Dose

    For the Phase I component, no formal statistical analysis was planned. The primary endpoint is to determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) and recommended Phase II dose of lenalidomide given in combination with standard idarubicin + cytarabine induction therapy.

    Measured: 18 months

  2. Phase II: Complete Response Rate of Participants Treated at Maximum Tolerated Dose (MTD)

    Percentage of participants achieving CR/CRi. Complete Response (CR) plus Complete Response with Incomplete Count Recovery (CRi) rates. Response rates (CR + CRi) of lenalidomide following idarubicin and cytarabine induction therapy in older patients with previously untreated AML. A CR designation requires that the patient achieve the morphologic leukemia-free state and have an absolute neutrophil count of more than 1,000/μL and platelets of 100,000/μL. CRi: After chemotherapy, patients fulfill all of the criteria for CR except for residual neutropenia (1,000/μL) or thrombocytopenia (100,000/μL).

    Measured: 24 months

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Rate of Lenalidomide Related Toxicity During Maintenance Therapy

    Rate of toxicities of lenalidomide as maintenance therapy according to the National Cancer Institute Common Toxicity Criteria (CTC) V3. Adverse Events: Possibly Related; Probably Related, or Definitely Related to study treatment. Events are categorized as Grade 1 or 2, or as Grade 3 or 4.

    Measured: 24 months

  2. Median Progression-Free Survival (PFS)

    Progression-free survival (PFS), defined as the time from study entry to disease progression, relapse, or death due to any cause, whichever is earlier, will be summarized with the Kaplan-Meier curve.

    Measured: 24 months

  3. Median Overall Survival (OS)

    Overall Survival (OS), defined for those patients who have achieved CR or CRi as the time from study entry to disease progression, relapse or death due to any cause, whichever is earlier, to be analyzed similarly. Descriptive analysis was planned for this measure.

    Measured: Up to 24 Months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1/2 study testing Idarubicin, Cytarabine and Lenalidomide (Revlimid®) in people with Myelodysplastic Syndrome and Acute Myeloid Leukemia, run by H. Lee Moffitt Cancer Center and Research Institute at 2 sites 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 21 inclusion and 14 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 22 Dec 2020. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 2 sites 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 combined 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.

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 28 Mar 2016). 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 I: Recommended Phase II Dose (time frame: 18 months). 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?
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 22 Dec 2020.
