October 10, 2013 updated by: Janssen Pharmaceutical K.K.

A Phase I/II Clinical Study of JNJ-30979754 (Decitabine) in Patients With Myelodysplastic Syndrome

The purpose of this study is to to determine the recommended dose level of JNJ-30979754 (decitabine) as well as to assess the safety and effectiveness in patients with Myelodysplastic Syndrome (MDS).

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

This is an open-label (both physician and patient know the name and dosage of drug), multi-center study. This study consists of two parts, Phase I and Phase II. In Phase I, approximately 9 participants will be enrolled ie, 3 participants for dose level 1 (15 mg/m2 of JNJ-30979754) and 6 participants for dose level 2 (20 mg/m2 of JNJ-30979754). Once the tolerability of 20 mg/m2 is confirmed additional 30 participants will be included to receive 20 mg/m2 and approximate total participants in Phase II will be 36. This study will include screening period (within 14 days prior to the day of initial administration of Cycle 1) and dosing period (1 cycle consists of administration of study medication for first 5 consecutive days + rested for 23 days; ie, total 28 days). Cycles will be reapeated in participants in whom decitabine was expected to be effective. Safety evaluations will include assessment of adverse events, vital signs, body weight, clinical laboratory tests: hematology, blood biochemistry and urinalysis, cardiopulmonary function tests: ECG, chest X ray and oximeter analysis.

Primary Completion (Actual)

Primary Completion

The date on which the last participant in a clinical study was examined or received an intervention to collect final data for the primary outcome measure. Whether the clinical study ended according to the protocol or was terminated does not affect this date. For clinical studies with more than one primary outcome measure with different completion dates, this term refers to the date on which data collection is completed for all the primary outcome measures. The "anticipated" primary completion date is the date that the researchers think will be the primary completion date for the study.
