Study Details

Study Description

Brief Summary

This clinical trial studies potential genetic markers which might be used to predict which patients with acute myeloid leukemia or myelodysplastic syndromes respond to decitabine. This study will contribute to the efforts to find effective and less toxic therapies to provide durable remissions in a significant proportion of elderly AML patients.

Arms and Interventions

Arm Intervention/Treatment
Experimental: Decitabine

Patients receive decitabine IV over 1 hour on days 1-10 of a 28-day cycle. Treatment continues for 2 cycles. Patients then receive decitabine IV over 1 hour on days 1-10, 1-5, or 1-3 (depending on response). Treatment continues in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

Drug: decitabine
Other Names:
  • 5-aza-dCyd, 5AZA, DAC, Dacogen, deoxyazacytidine, dezocitidine
  • Outcome Measures

    Primary Outcome Measures

    1. Correlation of Patient Specific Mutations With Overall Response Rate [4 months (4 treatment cycles)]

      -Best response after 4 treatment cycles as assessed according to International Working Group (IWG) criteria; bone marrow for gene sequencing will be collected at baseline; mutations will be correlated with overall response rate --Complete remission (CR), Complete remission with incomplete hematologic recovery (CRi), Marrow complete remission (mCR), Partial remission (PR), Stable disease (SD), Progressive disease (PD)

    Secondary Outcome Measures

    1. Compare Outcomes of a 10-day Decitabine Per Cycle Regimen to a 5-day Regimen (Historical Controls) [4 months (4 treatment cycles)]

      The overall response rate (CR/CRi/mCR/PR) and complete response rate (CR/CRi/mCR) will be compared with historical controls. Response assessed according to IWG criteria.

    2. Rate of Mutation Clearance During Treatment [Up to Day 56]

      Samples collected at baseline and after 10, 28 and 56 days of therapy; the rate of mutation clearance was measured as mean VAF change per day of treatment and was estimated using linear mixed model for repeated measurement data .

    3. Peripheral Blood Decitabine Plasma Levels [Day 4]

      To determine whether steady state serum concentrations of decitabine correlated with responses Complete remission (CR), Complete remission with incomplete hematologic recovery (CRi), Partial remission (PR), Stable disease (SD), Progressive disease (PD), Not applicable (NA) - assessed according to International Working Group (IWG) criteria

    4. Change in Bone Marrow Methylcytosine [Baseline and Day 10]

      -Change of total bone marrow deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) methylcytosine from baseline to Day 10
