  • Agree to use, and be able to comply with, effective contraception without interruption, 4 weeks before starting study drug, throughout study drug therapy (including dose interruptions) and for 4 weeks after the end of study drug therapy, even if she has amenorrhoea. This applies unless the subject commits to absolute and continued abstinence confirmed on a monthly basis. The following are effective methods of contraception:
  • Implant, Levonorgestrel-releasing intrauterine system (IUS) (prophylactic antibiotics should be considered at the time of insertion particularly in patients with neutropenia due to risk of infection) , Medroxyprogesterone acetate depot, Tubal sterilization, Ovulation inhibitory progesterone-only pills (i.e., desogestrel), Sexual intercourse with a vasectomised male partner only; vasectomy must be confirmed by two negative semen analyses.

This requirement also applies to women of childbearing potential who practice complete and continued abstinence.
  • Agree to have a medically supervised pregnancy test every 4 weeks including 4 weeks after the end of study treatment, except in the case of confirmed tubal sterilization. These tests should be performed not more than 3 days before the start of next treatment. This requirement also applies to women of childbearing potential who practice complete and continued abstinence
  • Male subjects must:

About this study

Official title: A Phase II Study of the Efficacy and Safety of Lenalidomide Combined to Escalating Doses of Chemotherapy in Intermediate-2-or High Risk MDS and AML With Del 5q

In this trial, the investigators will test the combination of escalating doses of chemotherapy (starting at relatively low dose) with lenalidomide in intermediate-2-or high risk MDS and AML with del 5 q31. It is hoped that this combined therapy will further increase response rate in intermediate-2-or high risk MDS and AML with del 5 q31, without major toxicity in comparison to historical results obtained with chemotherapy alone in the same subset of patients.

Read the detailed description

Patients will receive lenalidomide combined to DNR- AraC chemotherapy. The first 31 patients will receive DNR 45 mg/m2/d, during 3 days, and AraC 200mg/m2/d CI during 7 days.

Progression or not to the next cohort DNR 60 mgm2/d x3d and AraC 200mg/m2d x7d , or on the contrary reduction to the lower cohort DNR 30 mgm2/d x3d and AraC 200mg/m2d x5d will be decided after inclusion of fixed numbers of patients ,after review of toxicity and efficacy by an independent safety review committee (SRC).

Efficacy would be defined as a response rate ≥50%. After inclusion of the first 31 patients, the SRC will choose the cohort dose the last 33 patients will receive, based on toxicity and efficacy criteria.

  1. Induction treatment Lenalidomide 10 mg once daily PO during 3 weeks . DNR 30-45-or 60 mg/m2 /d (depending on the cohort during 3 days (IV push)- AraC 200mg/m2/d during 5- 7 or 7 days (continuous infusion)+ G-CSF (lenograstim): 263 ug/d from day 9, until recovery from aplasia (maximum 30 days). Evaluation will be performed after recovery from aplasia, on day 40 at the latest (with marrow aspirate and karyotype). Patients in hematological CR, CRi or marrow CR will proceed to consolidation treatment :Once the cohort dose has been decided by the SRC, a second cohort of 33 patients will be enrolled
  2. Consolidation treatment (in patients who achieved CR, Cri, or marrow CR) 6 monthly courses of : DNR (at the daily dose required to achieve CR) day1, combined to AraC 60 mg/m2/12h SC during 5 days will be given. Lenalidomide 10 mg/ d during the first 2 weeks of the course.
  3. Maintenance treatment Lenalidomide 10 mg/d 2 weeks every month until relapse (dose reduced if cytopenias) In patients still responding after 52 weeks, the drug will continue to be supplied, and follow up until death will be continued in all patients.

SECOND PART OF THE TRIAL AFTER AMENDMENT Treatment schedule of the 2nd Part of the trial

In dose level 4, 20 patients will receive lenalidomide 25 mg/d during 21 days combined to DNR- AraC chemotherapy (DNR 60 mgm2/d x3d and AraC 200mg/m2d x7d) during induction. During consolidation, patients will receive Lenalidomide 25 mg/d during 14 days, combined with DNR 60 mgm2/d x1d and AraC 60 mg/m2 x2/d x5d. finally, during maintenance, patients will receive Lenaidomide 25 mg/d x14d every months, until relapse.

Progression or not to the next cohort (Lenaidomide 50 mg) will be decided after inclusion of 20 patients, after review of toxicity and efficacy by an independent safety review committee (SRC) (Briefly, given median times to reach ANC and platelets > 500 and 50000/mm3, respectively of about 27 days in our previous trial with chemotherapy alone (Gardin, Blood), DLT would be defined by having greater than 3 of 10 patients recovering those levels after more than 40 days, or the occurrence of unexpected grade III-IV non hematological toxicity). Efficacy would be defined as a response rate ≥60%.

In dose level 5, 20 patients will receive lenalidomide 50 mg/d during 21 days combined to DNR- AraC chemotherapy (DNR 60 mgm2/d x3d and AraC 200mg/m2d x7d) during induction. During consolidation, patients will receive Lenalidomide 50 mg/d during 14 days, combined with DNR 60 mgm2/d x1d and AraC 60 mg/m2 x2/d x5d. finally, during maintenance, patients will receive Lenaidomide 50 mg/d x14d every months, until relapse.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Lenalidomide in people with Myelodysplastic Syndrome and Chronic Myelomonocytic Leukemia, run by Groupe Francophone des Myelodysplasies at 25 sites in France.

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 18 inclusion and 16 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 24 Apr 2015. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 25 sites in France. 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

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?

Response (CR, mCR and Cri, according to IWG criteria for AML and IWG 2006 criteria for MDS) to the combination of lenalidomide and chemotherapy in adult high and int 2 MDS (IPSS) or AML with deletion 5q[31] (time frame: At the end of induction). 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 NCT00885508, 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 24 Apr 2015.
