Detailed Description

Study TLK199.2107 is a multicenter, single arm, open-label Phase 2 study of oral ezatiostat (Telintra®) in patients with lenalidomide (Revlimid®) refractory or resistant, red blood cell (RBC) transfusion-dependent, Low to Intermediate-1 IPSS risk, del5q Myelodysplastic Syndrome (MDS). Independence from red blood cell transfusions, improvement in the levels of red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets, and the response of the bone marrow were evaluated. Patients received a starting dose of 2000 mg total daily dose in divided doses (1000 mg orally twice daily for three weeks (21 days) on therapy followed by a one-week (7 days) off therapy rest period in four-week (28 days) treatment cycles. Patients continued treatment until documentation of lack of MDS response, MDS progression, unacceptable toxicity, or patient withdrawal from the study.

Enrollment (Actual)

Enrollment

The number of participants in a clinical study. The "anticipated" enrollment is the target number of participants that the researchers need for the study.

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

No

Genders Eligible for Study

All

Description

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Primary or de Novo MDS

  • ECOG performance score of 0 or 1
  • Documentation of significant anemia with or without additional cytopenia
