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

The application of rotegcipipone in the treatment of chemotherapy-inducing anemia in AML has not yet been systematically studied. Animal studies have shown that rotegcipipone can improve the recovery of anemia after chemotherapy. The bone marrow microenvironment after chemotherapy is often deteriorated due to cytokine storms and hematopoietic stem cell damage, which may further exacerbate erythroid regeneration disorders. Based on rotegcipipone's dual mechanism of improving the hematopoietic microenvironment and promoting erythrocyte maturation, it may overcome the limitations of existing therapies after chemotherapy. Furthermore, its safety profile (primarily grade 1-2 adverse reactions in MDS and β-thalassemia) provides a potential advantage for its application in vulnerable patients after chemotherapy.

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.

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm

A group or subgroup of participants in a clinical trial that receives a specific intervention/treatment, or no intervention, according to the trial's protocol.
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.
Experimental: Rotesip treatment group
Patients were screened and enrolled in the treatment group to evaluate the efficacy and safety of rotezipeptide in the treatment of chemotherapy-inducing anemia in AML.
Drug: Luspatercept Injectable Product
First, enrolled patients were randomized to received rotezipeptide with a dosage of 1mg/kg at the day 1 versus day 10 post chemotherapy. Each groups were analyzed to enroll et least 10 patients. Second, after working out which day should be the better one for the treatment of rotezipeptide in phase 1 study, at least 20 patients were enrolled to received rotezipeptide with the same dose at the above day to further work out the efficacy and safety of rotezipeptide in the treatment of CIA in AML.
