Lenalidomide in High-risk MDS and AML With Del(5q) or Monosomy 5

April 26, 2012 updated by: Nordic MDS Group

A Multicentre Phase II Study of the Efficacy and Safety of Lenalidomide in High-risk Myeloid Disease (High-risk MDS and AML) With a Karyotype Including Del(5q) or Monosomy 5

The aim of this study is to investigate the efficacy of lenalidomide in high risk MDS or AML with chromosome 5 aberrations.

Study Overview

Indicates the current recruitment status or the expanded access status.

Conditions

Conditions

The disease, disorder, syndrome, illness, or injury that is being studied. On ClinicalTrials.gov, conditions may also include other health-related issues, such as lifespan, quality of life, and health risks.

Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.

Detailed Description

Previous studies have shown that the immunomodulatory drug lenalidomide is effective in the treatment of low risk MDS with del(5q). Treatment of this subgroup of MDS patients resulted in 67% major erythroid responses and 45% complete cytogenetic responses. We therefore intend to test the efficacy of lenalidomide in a group of high-risk patients who are ineligible for conventional chemotherapy and who have a dismal prognosis. The patients must have a karyotype including del(5q) but patients with a karyotype including monosomy 5 are also eligible. We hypothesize that hight risk MDS or AML patients with other chromosomal aberrations than del(5q) can be affected by the lenalidomide effect.

Phase

Phase

The stage of a clinical trial studying a drug or biological product, based on definitions developed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The phase is based on the study's objective, the number of participants, and other characteristics. There are five phases: Early Phase 1 (formerly listed as Phase 0), Phase 1, Phase 2, Phase 3, and Phase 4. Not Applicable is used to describe trials without FDA-defined phases, including trials of devices or behavioral interventions.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Ages Eligible for Study

18 years and older (Adult, Older Adult)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers
