Doxercalciferol in Treating Patients With Myelodysplastic Syndrome or Chronic Myelomonocytic Leukemia

November 15, 2019 updated by: University of Wisconsin, Madison

Phase II Study of Doxercalciferol for the Treatment of Myelodysplastic Syndromes

RATIONALE: Doxercalciferol may improve low blood cell counts and decrease the need for blood transfusions and may be an effective treatment for myelodysplastic syndrome or chronic myelomonocytic leukemia.

PURPOSE: Phase II trial to study the effectiveness of doxercalciferol in treating patients who have myelodysplastic syndrome or chronic myelomonocytic leukemia.

Detailed Description

OBJECTIVES:

  • Determine the response rate of patients with myelodysplastic syndromes or chronic myelomonocytic leukemia treated with doxercalciferol.
  • Determine the toxicity profile of this drug in these patients.
  • Determine the time to progression and overall survival of patients treated with this drug.

OUTLINE: Patients receive oral doxercalciferol daily for 12 weeks. Treatment continues in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

PROJECTED ACCRUAL: Approximately 41 patients will be accrued for this study.
