About this study
Official title: A Phase 2, International, Multicenter, Randomized, Open-label, Parallel Group to Evaluate the Efficacy and Safety of Cc-486 (Oral Azacitidine) Alone in Combination With Durvalumab (MEDI4736) in Subjects With Myelodysplastic Syndromes Who Fail to Achieve an Objective Response to Treatment With Azacitidine for Injection or Decitabine
Evaluate the safety and efficacy of oral azacitidne (CC-486) twice daily (BID) in subjects with myelodysplastic syndromes who failed to achieve an objective response post injectable hypomethylating agent (iHMA) treatment
Reason for removing the combination arm: Due to difficulties with dose-finding, the durvalumab plus CC-486 combination arm was closed to enrollment.
Extension:
An Extension Phase (EP) has been added to allow subjects who are currently receiving oral azacitidine BID and who are demonstrating clinical benefit as assessed by the Investigator, to continue receiving oral azacitidine until the subject meets the criteria for study discontinuation.

What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Overall Response Rate Based on the Modified International Working Group (IWG) 2006 Response Criteria for Myelodysplastic Syndrome (MDS)
The overall response rate (ORR) was defined as the percentage of participants who achieved an objective response including: hematologic improvement (HI), partial remission (PR), complete remission (CR), or marrow complete remission (mCR). Hematologic response was defined as: • CR: ≤ 5% myeloblasts with normal maturation of all cell lines; peripheral blood (PB) shows: hemoglobin ≥11 g/dL, neutrophils ≥1.0x10^9/L, platelets ≥100x10^9/dL, blasts (0%) • PR: same as CR bone marrow (BM) shows blasts decreased by ≥ 50% over pre-treatment but still > 5%; cellularity and morphology not relevant • mCR: BM: ≤ 5% myeloblasts and decrease by ≥ 50% over pre-treatment PB, PB: if HI responses, noted in addition to mCR • HI: HI erythroid response (HI-E); HI neutrophil response (HI-N) ; HI platelet response (HI-P)
Measured: Response was assessed every 2 cycles following treatment during the first 6 cycles, then every 3 cycles thereafter; median duration of treatment = 5.26 and 3.81 months for SD/PD for oral AZA arms respectively, and 1.84 months for AZA and Durva SD/PD arms
Secondary outcomes (18)
Kaplan-Meier Estimate of Overall Survival
Overall survival (OS) was defined as the time from randomization to death from any cause, and was calculated using date of first dose and date of death, or date of last follow-up for censored subjects.
Measured: From first dose till death due to any cause (Up to 91 months)
Kaplan Meier Estimate of Time to Onset of First and Best Response
Time to onset of first response was defined as the time between the date of first investigational product (IP) dose and the earliest date any response (CR, PR, mCR, or HI) was first observed. Participants who did not achieve any defined response during the treatment period were censored at the date of treatment discontinuation, disease progression, or death, whichever occurred first. Best response is the best recorded response or treatment outcome from the start of the study treatment until the end of the study treatment taking into account the requirements for confirmation of response.
Measured: Response was assessed every 2 cycles following treatment during the first 6 cycles, then every 3 cycles thereafter; median duration of treatment = 5.26 and 3.81 months for SD/PD for oral AZA arms respectively, and 1.84 months for AZA and Durva SD/PD arms
Kaplan Meier Estimate of Duration of First Response
Duration of hematologic response and/or improvement was defined as the time from the date response or improvement was first observed to the date of documented relapse or disease progression as defined by the modified IWG 2006 criteria. Particpants who maintained hematologic response and/or improvement through the end of the treatment period were censored as the date of treatment discontinuation or death, whichever occurred first.
Measured: Response was assessed every 2 cycles following treatment during the first 6 cycles, then every 3 cycles thereafter; median duration of treatment = 5.26 and 3.81 months for SD/PD for oral AZA arms respectively, and 1.84 months for AZA and Durva SD/PD arms
Kaplan Meier Estimate of Duration of Best Response
Duration of hematologic response and/or improvement was defined as the time from the date response or improvement was first observed to the date of documented relapse or disease progression as defined by the modified IWG 2006 criteria. Particpants who maintained hematologic response and/or improvement through the end of the treatment period were censored as the date of treatment discontinuation or death, whichever occurred first.
Measured: Response was assessed every 2 cycles following treatment during the first 6 cycles, then every 3 cycles thereafter; median duration of treatment = 5.26 and 3.81 months for SD/PD for oral AZA arms respectively, and 1.84 months for AZA and Durva SD/PD arms
Kaplan-Meier Estimate of Progression Free Survival (PFS)
Progression-free survival is defined as the time from first dose to the first documented progressive disease (PD), relapse, or death due to any cause during or after the treatment period, whichever occurred first, according to IWG 2006 response criteria for MDS. Participants who were still alive and progression-free were censored at the date of their last response assessment. Progressive disease is defined as follows: - an increase in BM blasts relative to nadir: •If nadir less than 5% blasts: ≥ 50% increase in blasts to > 5% blasts •If nadir 5% - 10% blasts: ≥ 50% increase in blasts to > 10% blasts •If nadir 10% - 20% blasts: ≥ 50% increase in blasts to > 20% blasts •If nadir 20% - 30% blasts: ≥ 50% increase in blasts to > 30% blasts And any of the following: •At least 50% decrement from maximum remission/response levels in granulocytes or platelets •Reduction in Hgb concentration by ≥ 2 g/dL •Transfusion dependence
Measured: From first dose to the first documented progressive disease (PD), relapse, or death due to any cause (Up to 91 months)
Percentage of Participants With Progressive Disease at Baseline Who Achieved Stable Disease
A participant was considered as having a stable disease if the disease neither responded nor progressed during or after study treatment.
Measured: Response was assessed every 2 cycles following treatment during the first 6 cycles, then every 3 cycles thereafter; median duration of treatment = 5.26 and 3.81 months for SD/PD for oral AZA arms respectively, and 1.84 months for AZA and Durva SD/PD arms
Kaplan-Meier Estimate of Onset to Achieve Stable Disease
A participant was considered as having a stable disease if the disease neither responded nor progressed during or after study treatment.
Measured: Response was assessed every 2 cycles following treatment during the first 6 cycles, then every 3 cycles thereafter; median duration of treatment = 5.26 and 3.81 months for SD/PD for oral AZA arms respectively, and 1.84 months for AZA and Durva SD/PD arms
Kaplan-Meier Estimate of Duration of Stable Disease
The duration of stable disease was defined as the time between any two observations of objective disease progression (modified IWG criteria), starting from the first day of dosing with IP. Participants who maintained stable disease through the end of the treatment period were censored at the date of study termination.
Measured: Response was assessed every 2 cycles following treatment during the first 6 cycles, then every 3 cycles thereafter; median duration of treatment = 5.26 and 3.81 months for SD/PD for oral AZA arms respectively, and 1.84 months for AZA and Durva SD/PD arms
Percentage of Participants Who Progressed to Acute Myelogenous Leukemia (AML)
For all participants who received at least one dose of study drug, continuous monitoring for progression to AML occurred in the post treatment follow up period.
Measured: From first dose and until death, loss to follow-up, withdrawal of consent for further data collection (Up to 91 months)
Kaplan-Meier Estimate of Time to Progression to AML
Time to AML progression was defined as the time from the date of first dose of IP until the date the participant had documented progression to AML.
Measured: From first dose and until death, loss to follow-up, withdrawal of consent for further data collection (Up to 91 months)
Number of Participants With Treatment Emergent Adverse Events (TEAEs)
TEAEs were defined as AEs occurring or worsening on or after the date of the first dose of oral aza or durva and within 28 days after last dose of oral aza or 90 days after last dose of durva A serious adverse event (SAE) is any: • Death; • Life-threatening event; • Any inpatient hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization; • Persistent or significant disability or incapacity; • Congenital anomaly or birth defect; • Any other important medical event The severity of an AE was evaluated by the investigator according to National Cancer Institute Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (NCI CTCAE) (Version 4.0) where Grade 1 = Mild, Grade 2 = Moderate, Grade 3 = Severe, Grade 4 = Life-threatening and Grade 5 = Death.
Measured: From first dose until 28 days after the last dose of CC-486 (90 days after the last dose of durvalumab) or the last follow up visit, whichever date is later (Up to 91 months)

Clinical summary
The research question as the sponsor registered it. This describes what the study plans to test, not what it found.
Evaluate the safety and efficacy of oral azacitidne (CC-486) twice daily (BID) in subjects with myelodysplastic syndromes who failed to achieve an objective response post injectable hypomethylating agent (iHMA) treatment
Reason for removing the combination arm: Due to difficulties with dose-finding, the durvalumab plus CC-486 combination arm was closed to enrollment.
Extension:
An Extension Phase (EP) has been added to allow subjects who are currently receiving oral azacitidine BID and who are demonstrating clinical benefit as assessed by the Investigator, to continue receiving oral azacitidine until the subject meets the criteria for study discontinuation.

Key inclusion criteria (38 listed)
- Male or female, ≥ 18 years of age at the time of signing the informed consent document
- Documented diagnosis of MYELODYSPLASTIC SYNDROMES (MDS), classified according to FRENCH-AMERICAN BRITISH (FAB) classification criteria
- Adequate course of treatment with an injectable hypomethylating agent (azacitidine for injection or decitabine) as the last therapeutic intervention for MDS prior to beginning screening for this study. Adequate is defined as:
- Documented disease progression or stable disease as best response to treatment (or attempted treatment) with azacitidine for injection or decitabine. Those achieving an objective response to treatment regimen with an injectable hypomethylating agent (HMA) are excluded from participation in this study.
- Definitions of disease progression are modified from INTERNATIONAL WORKING GROUP (IWG) 2006 criteria and include:
Key exclusion criteria (43 listed)
- Rapidly-progressing MDS defined as:
- AML - FAB (FRENCH-AMERICAN-BRITISH) classification: ≥ 30% blasts in bone marrow). Subjects known to have ≥ 30% blasts are not eligible for inclusion in this study. Recognizing limitations of blast cell quantification, this protocol will allow subjects with pre-enrollment (screening/baseline) bone marrow blast counts up to 33% to be considered for inclusion.
- Prior allogeneic stem cell transplant
- Prior exposure to the investigational oral formulation of decitabine, or other oral azacitidine derivative at any time in the subject's prior history
- Prior or ongoing response (IWG 2006: HI, PR, CR, or marrow CR) to treatment with azacitidine for injection or decitabine, at any time in the subject's prior history, which includes relapsed disease
Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening; this overview does not establish that a patient qualifies. Full inclusion and exclusion criteria.

Primary outcome
Overall Response Rate Based on the Modified International Working Group (IWG) 2006 Response Criteria for Myelodysplastic Syndrome (MDS)
Time frame: Response was assessed every 2 cycles following treatment during the first 6 cycles, then every 3 cycles thereafter; median duration of treatment = 5.26 and 3.81 months for SD/PD for oral AZA arms respectively, and 1.84 months for AZA and Durva SD/PD arms
The overall response rate (ORR) was defined as the percentage of participants who achieved an objective response including: hematologic improvement (HI), partial remission (PR), complete remission (CR), or marrow complete remission (mCR). Hematologic response was defined as: • CR: ≤ 5% myeloblasts with normal maturation of all cell lines; peripheral blood (PB) shows: hemoglobin ≥11 g/dL, neutrophils ≥1.0x10^9/L, platelets ≥100x10^9/dL, blasts (0%) • PR: same as CR bone marrow (BM) shows blasts decreased by ≥ 50% over pre-treatment but still > 5%; cellularity and morphology not relevant • mCR: BM: ≤ 5% myeloblasts and decrease by ≥ 50% over pre-treatment PB, PB: if HI responses, noted in addition to mCR • HI: HI erythroid response (HI-E); HI neutrophil response (HI-N) ; HI platelet response (HI-P)

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 38 inclusion and 43 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 4 Oct 2024. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 89 sites in United States, Spain, United Kingdom, Australia, Germany and 5 more countries. 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 8 Jul 2020). 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?
Overall Response Rate Based on the Modified International Working Group (IWG) 2006 Response Criteria for Myelodysplastic Syndrome (MDS) (time frame: Response was assessed every 2 cycles following treatment during the first 6 cycles, then every 3 cycles thereafter; median duration of treatment = 5.26 and 3.81 months for SD/PD for oral AZA arms respectively, and 1.84 months for AZA and Durva SD/PD arms). 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 4 Oct 2024.
