Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

  1. Determination of the Maximum Tolerated Dose (MTD) Based on the Occurrence of Dose-limiting Toxicity (DLT) in Cycle 1 [4 weeks]

    The primary objective of the dose-escalation part of this study was to determine the MTD of volasertib in combination with azacitidine. The MTD was to be identified based on the DLT information collected during the first treatment cycle of each dosing schedule. DLT was defined as a non-haematological drug-related toxicity of Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) grade ≥3. The MTD corresponded to the highest dose of volasertib and azacitidine at which the incidence of DLT was ≤17% (i.e. 1/6 patients) during Cycle 1. The planned dose escalation schedules of Part 2 were not completed because the trial was prematurely discontinued. Hence, a final conclusion of the MTD of volasertib in combination with azacitidine cannot be drawn in this trial. Number of patients with DLT in cycle 1 in escalation part is presented to determine MTD.

  2. Number of Participants With Dose Limiting Toxicities (DLT) in Cycle 1 [4 weeks]

    Number of participants with Dose Limiting Toxicities (DLT) in Cycle 1 (escalation part to determine MTD) is presented .

Secondary Outcome Measures

  1. Percentage of Patients With Objective Response (OR) [From randomisation until data cut-off (16Dec2016); up to 159 weeks]

    OR was defined as best overall response of complete remission (CR) or partial remission (PR) defined according to the International Working Group (IWG) 2006 criteria. Complete remission (CR): Bone marrow: <5 % myeloblasts with normal maturation of all cell lines* Persistent dysplasia will be noted* Peripheral blood: hemoglobin (Hgb) > 11 Grams Per Decilitre (g/dL) Platelets >100 x 109/L Neutrophils > 1.0 x 109/L Blasts 0 % *Dysplastic changes should consider the normal range of dysplastic changes Partial remission (PR): All CR criteria if abnormal before treatment except: Bone marrow blasts decreased by >50% to pre-treatment but still >5% Cellularity and morphology not relevant

Eligibility Criteria

Criteria

Ages Eligible for Study:
18 Years and Older
Sexes Eligible for Study:
All
Accepts Healthy Volunteers:
No
Inclusion criteria:
  • Adult patients with previously untreated, intermediate-2 or high- risk MDS or CMML not eligible for hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) based on documented patients characteristics like age, performance status, concomitant diagnoses, and organ dysfunctions

  • Further inclusion criteria apply

Exclusion criteria:
  • Prior or concomitant therapy for higher risk MDS (for example, but not limited to, hypomethylating agents like azacitidine). Note: Prior treatment with erythropoetin (EPO) is allowed up to > 1 week before treatment with study medication. Patients must have not received MDS therapy since diagnosis of higher-risk MDS. However, previous lenalidomide treatment could have been administered for lower-risk MDS treatment as long as this therapy was discontinued at least > 4 weeks before initiation of the current study treatment.

  • Treatment with any investigational drug within 2 weeks before first administration of present trial drug or within less than 5 half lives of the investigational drug before treatment with the present trial drug, whichever is longer.

  • Second malignancy currently requiring active therapy (except for hormonal/anti-hormonal treatment, e.g. in prostate or breast cancer).

  • Corrected QT interval according to Fridericia (QTcF) prolongation > 470 ms or QT prolongation deemed clinically relevant by the investigator (e.g., congenital long QT syndrome).The QTcF will be calculated as the mean of the 3 Electrocardiograms (ECGs) taken at screening.

  • Total bilirubin > 1.5 x upper limit of normal not related to Gilberts disease, hemolysis, or secondary to MDS.

  • Aspartate amino transferase (AST) or alanine amino transferase (ALT) > 2.5 x the upper limit of normal (ULN) Creatinine > 1.5 x ULN

  • Active hepatitis B or hepatitis C, or laboratory evidence for a chronic infection (hepatitis test results done in routine diagnostics are acceptable if done within 14 days before first study treatment dose).

  • HIV infection (HIV test results in routine diagnostics are acceptable if done within 14 days before first study treatment dose).

  • Severe illness or organ dysfunction involving the kidney, liver or other organ system (e.g. active uncontrolled infection , unstable angina pectoris or history of severe congestive heart failure, clinically unstable cardiac disease or pulmonary disease), which in the opinion of the investigator would interfere with the evaluation of the safety of the study treatment

  • Further exclusion criteria apply
