Efficacy and Safety of Oral Rigosertib in Transfusion-dependent, Low or Int-1 or Trisomy 8 Int-2 Myelodysplastic Syndrome (ONTARGET)

June 22, 2017 updated by: Onconova Therapeutics, Inc.

A Phase II, Multicenter, Single-arm Study to Assess the Efficacy and Safety of Oral Rigosertib in Transfusion-dependent Low or Intermediate-1 (Any Cytogenetics) or Trisomy 8 Intermediate-2 Myelodysplastic Syndrome Patients Based on IPSS Classification

The primary objectives of this study are to determine if rigosertib sodium, given orally in the form of soft gel capsules, is safe and is associated with a reduction in the number of blood transfusion units that are needed in patients with myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) classified as Low or Intermediate-1 (Int-1) (any cytogenetics) or trisomy 8 Intermediate 2 (Int-2) in the International Prognostic Scoring System (IPSS) who are transfusion-dependent. Rigosertib will be taken on days 1 to 21 of a 21-day cycle.

Detailed Description

This will be a Phase II open-label, multicenter (up to 5 centers), single-arm study. Sixty transfusion-dependent patients with MDS classified as Low or Int-1 risk (any cytogenetics) or trisomy 8 Int-2 by International Prognostic Scoring System (IPSS) will be enrolled to receive rigosertib BID for 21 consecutive days of a 21-day cycle.

Patients will be stratified on prior treatment with azacitidine and/or decitabine and/or lenalidomide and/or erythropoietin.

Patients will remain treated on study until 2006 Internation Working Group (IWG) progression criteria are met or until death from any cause.

All study participants will be allowed, as medically justified, access to RBC and platelet transfusions, and to filgrastim [G-CSF]. Erythropoiesis-stimulating agents (ESAs) will not be allowed during the initial 3 cycles. Rigosertib dosing adjustment policies are described in Protocol.

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm
Intervention / Treatment
EXPERIMENTAL: 21-Day Regimen
560 mg oral rigosertib in the morning and 280 mg rigosertib in the afternoon on days 1 to 21 of 21-day cycle

Rigosertib sodium will be available as soft gel capsules in strengths of 280 mg and 70 mg. Rigosertib will be administered on an outpatient basis.

Patients will take a 560 mg dose (e.g., 2 x 280 mg capsules) of oral rigosertib in the morning and 280 mg dose (e.g., 1 x 280 mg capsules) of oral rigosertib every day of 21-day cycles. Rigosertib should be taken in a fasting state (defined by at least 30 minutes before next meal) BID at 12 hr intervals (with a window of 2 hr). Any vomited dose will be reported as a missed dose.

The patient will fill a diary indicating the day and time of drug intake.

Other Names:
  • rigosertib sodium
