Lenalidomide After Failure of Hypomethylating Agents in Myelodysplastic Syndrome (VIOLET)

May 10, 2016 updated by: Hawk Kim, Ulsan University Hospital

Salvage in Patients With Myelodysplastic Syndrome After Failure of Hypomethylating Agents: Lenalidomide as a Second-line Therapy

This is a Phase II study to evaluate the efficacy of second-line lenalidomide monotherapy for myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) patients who failed to hypomethylating agents.

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

There is no standard therapy after the failure of hypomethylating agents only providing supportive cares including transfusion or cytokine therapies. Lenalidomide is the treatment of choice in case of MDS with 5q deletion. A study of lenalidomide for non-5q deletion MDS patients showed that transfusion independency rate was 26% which was relatively acceptable and suggested that lenalidomide could be used for non-5q deletion MDS patients. There is no datum for second-line lenalidomide therapy after hypomethylating agents. MDS which has highly complex pathogenesis backgrounds will have distinctive subtype for each therapy and each treatment drug can have distinctive subgroup for the response. In fact the investigators don't know which patient will be responsive hypomethylating agents or lenalidomide except for 5q deletion. This suggests that second line therapy after the first line failure in MDS will be different with other type of relapsed/refractory disease which will be tend to more resistant to subsequent therapies. In this regard, there is a possibility to have a relatively high response rate to second line lenalidomide in this selected subset who has failed to the hypomethylation therapy or some patients will be responsive regardless of treatment line. Recent data suggested that MDS with JAK2 mutation will be responsive to lenalidomide. The investigators will analyze the JAK2 mutation status in response evaluation.

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

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
