Trial summary

This phase II trial studies the side effects of and how well sotatercept works in treating patients with myeloproliferative neoplasm-associated myelofibrosis or anemia. Sotatercept may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: A Phase-2, Prospective, Open-Label Study to Determine the Safety and Efficacy of Sotatercept (ACE-011) in Subjects With Myeloproliferative Neoplasm (MPN) -Associated Myelofibrosis and Anemia

This phase II trial studies the side effects of and how well sotatercept works in treating patients with myeloproliferative neoplasm-associated myelofibrosis or anemia. Sotatercept may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth.

Read the detailed description

The goal of this clinical research study is to learn if sotatercept can help to control MPN-associated myelofibrosis and anemia. The safety of this drug will also be studied.

OUTLINE: This is a dose-escalation study.

Patients receive sotatercept subcutaneously (SC) once every 3 weeks. Cycles repeat every 3 weeks in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Patients unable to achieve anemia-response after 8 cycles will be taken off study.

After completion of study treatment, patients are followed up at 1 month.

Being tested
Sotatercept, Ruxolitinib
Medical subject headings
Anemia, Myelodysplastic-Myeloproliferative Diseases, Primary Myelofibrosis

Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Treatment Monotherapy (sotatercept)ExperimentalPatients receive sotatercept SC once every 3 weeks. Cycles repeat every 3 weeks in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Patients unable to achieve anemia-response after 8 cycles will be taken off study.
Receives: Biological: Sotatercept
Treatment combination (Ruxolitinib + sotatercept)Experimentalpatients that are already on therapy with ruxolitinib (for at least for 6 months, and on stable dose for last 2 months) will continue ruxolitinib in addition to sotatercept SC once every 3 weeks. Cycles repeat every 3 weeks in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Patients unable to achieve anemia-response after 8 cycles will be taken off study.
Receives: Biological: Sotatercept; Drug: Ruxolitinib

What is being measured

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

  1. Anemia-response

    Defined as an increase in hemoglobin level equal to or greater than 1.5 g/L without red blood cell-transfusion OR becoming red blood cell-transfusion-independent in a patient who is red blood cell-transfusion-dependent. Will be based on the intent-to-treat principle.

    Measured: Up to 84 days

  2. Duration of Response

    Response date to loss of response or last follow up.

    Measured: Up to 9 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Sotatercept and Ruxolitinib in people with Anemia and Myelodysplastic/Myeloproliferative Neoplasm, 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 9 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 10 Oct 2023. 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 6 Jun 2023). 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?

Anemia-response (time frame: Up to 84 days). 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 10 Oct 2023.
