Trial summary

Myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) are frequent diseases in elderly patients (median age: 71 years). IPSS classification defines low risk (Low and Intermediate 1), and high risk (Intermediate 2 and High) MDS. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Characterization of the Mechanisms of Action of Resistance to Azacitidine in High-risk Myelodysplastic Syndromes and Acute Myeloid Leukemia With Multilineage Dysplasia

Myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) are frequent diseases in elderly patients (median age: 71 years). IPSS classification defines low risk (Low and Intermediate 1), and high risk (Intermediate 2 and High) MDS. High-risk MDS (MDS-HR) have a high risk of transformation into acute leukemia with multilineage dysplasia (AML-DML). The success of Azacitidine has been mainly achieved through a rigorous empirical and clinical research, but the molecular mechanisms by which this molecule exerts its effects remain poorly characterized. The primary mode of action of Azacytidine is through DNA demethylation, and integration in to mRNA that favor traduction inhibition. The impact of this molecule on various cell death programs involved in the elimination of leukemic cells : apoptosis and autophagy is currently poorly known.

The research program and clinical studies we proposed focus on two major aspects:

  • Main objective: Molecular mechanism of action and resistance to Azacitidine: Role of apoptosis versus autophagy.
  • Secondary Objective: Reversion of Azacytidine resistance using different drugs targeting apoptosis and/or autophagy. Our laboratory has identified new molecules to selectively induce different types of cell death (apoptosis or autophagy).

What is being measured

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

  1. hematological response

    Hematological response evaluated by the International Working Group (IWG) response of Cheson

    Measured: at 3 months

  2. hematological response

    Hematological response evaluated by the International Working Group (IWG) response of Cheson

    Measured: at 6 months

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Overall survival

    Overall survival (OS) defined as the time from start of treatment

    Measured: Day 1 of treatment

  2. Overall survival

    Overall survival (OS) defined as the time from start of treatment

    Measured: at the death

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Myelodysplastic Syndromes or Acute Myeloid Leukemia With Multilineage Dysplasia, run by Centre Hospitalier Universitaire de Nice at 4 sites in 2 countries.

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 1 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: looking for participants now, as of the sponsor's last update on 19 Mar 2025. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 4 sites in France, Monaco. 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.

Are results available for this study?

This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Each site lists its own contact: choose the nearest one under Trial locations. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

hematological response (time frame: at 3 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?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT01210274, 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 19 Mar 2025; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 8 Nov 2026.
