Phase 4 |
Detailed Description
The study has 3 phases which include the Screening Phase, the Treatment Phase, and the
Post-Treatment Phase and outlined as follows:
Screening Phase:
Subjects will provide informed consent prior to undergoing any study-related procedures. Screening procedures are to take place within 28 days prior to the initiation of azacitidine treatment (Day 1, Cycle 1). Subject eligibility will be based on central pathology review. Bone marrow aspirate and bone marrow biopsy will be collected at screening and sent for morphological assessment by a central pathology reviewer prior to the subject receiving IP. The central pathology reviewer will document the MDS classification according to the FAB and WHO criteria (Appendix A and B, respectively).
A standard cytogenetic metaphase preparation will be prepared from the bone marrow aspirate and sent to the local or central laboratory (for sites without local analysis capability) for the cytogenetic analysis prior to receiving IP.
The IPSS score will be calculated using the central reviewer's pathology report for bone marrow blast percentage, local cytogenetic assessment for karyotype, and central laboratory report for number of cytopenias (Appendix D).
Treatment Phase:
The first dose of azacitidine for each subject begins on Day 1 of Cycle 1. All subjects will receive azacitidine 75 mg/m2/day SC for 7 days every 28 days for up to 6 cycles, unless they are discontinued from treatment. Visits during the treatment phase are to be scheduled weekly for the first 2 cycles, then every other week for all subsequent cycles throughout the rest of the study. Safety and efficacy measures are to be performed weekly, every other week, every 4 weeks, or at 24 weeks, depending on the procedure.
Post-Treatment Phase:
All discontinued subjects, regardless of reason for discontinuation, should undergo end-of-study procedures at the time of study discontinuation. Subjects will have a follow-up visit for the collection of adverse events up to 28 days after last IP dose.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- Percentage of Participants With a Hematologic Response Using International Working Group (IWG) Criteria for Myelodysplastic Syndrome (MDS) and Assessed by Investigator [Response assessed at end of cycle 6; through week 24; End of study]
Hematologic Response according to the 2000 International Working Group (IWG) response criteria for MDS was based on the Investigators determination and defined as: Complete Response (CR): repeat bone marrow (BM) shows <5% myeloblasts, and peripheral blood values lasting ≥ 2 months of hemoglobin (hgb) (>110 g/L), neutrophils (≥1.5x10^9/L), platelets (≥100x10^9/L), blasts (0%) and no dysplasia Partial Response (PR): same as CR for peripheral blood: BM shows blasts decrease by ≥ 50% or a less advanced FAB classification from pretreatment Stable disease (SD): failure to achieve a PR, no evidence of progression for at least 2 months. Failure: death during treatment or disease progression Relapse After CR or PR: return to pretreatment BM blast percent or decrement of ≥ 50% from remission/response levels in granulocytes or platelets; or reduction in hgb by ≥20 g/L or transfusion dependence Disease Progression: change in blast levels Disease Transformation to AML
- Percentage of Participants Showing Hematologic Improvement Using International Working Group (IWG Criteria for Hematologic Improvement Cheson 2000) Criteria for Myelodysplastic Syndrome (MDS) and Assessed by Sponsor [Response assessed at end of cycle 6; through week 24; End of study]
Hematologic improvements (HI) have 4 categories: Erythroid response (HI-E): Major >20g/L increase or transfusion independent. Minor- 10-20g/L increase or ≥50% decrease in transfusion requirements. Platelet response (HI-P): Major absolute increase of ≥30x10^9/L or platelet transfusion independence. Minor-≥50% increase. Neutrophil response (HI-N): Major 100% increase or an absolute increase of >0.5x10^9/L. Minor-≥100% increase and absolute increase of <0.5x10^9/L Progression or relapse after HI Overall hematological improvement (HI) was defined as any type (major or minor) of improvement of HI-E, HI-P, or HI-N. Criteria: Pretreatment=hemoglobin <100g/L or RBC transfusion-dependent, platelet count <100x10^9/L or platelet transfusion dependent, absolute neutrophil count <1.5x10^9/L. Sponsor's determination was derived using clinically relevant data. Denominator for progression/relapse after HI included participants who had achieved HI.
Secondary Outcome Measures
- Number of Red Blood Cell (RBC) Transfusions by Cycle [Up to week 24;The on-treatment period was considered the period from the date of the first dose to the last treatment study visit.]
The number of transfusions received 56 days prior to treatment and during study were standardized per 28 days and summarized by cycle for RBCs. The formula for standardizing per 28 days was: [(# of transfusions in the measurement period / length of the measurement period (days)) x 28], where the measurement period was either baseline or the relevant cycle length. For each participant the overall post-baseline average was calculated as the average of # of RBC transfusions per cycle.
- Number of Platelet Transfusions by Cycle [Up to week 24; The on-treatment period was considered the period from the date of the first dose to the last treatment study visit.]
The number of transfusions received 56 days prior to treatment and during study was standardized per 28 days and summarized by cycle for platelets. The formula for standardizing per 28 days was: [(# of transfusions in the measurement period / length of the measurement period (days)) x 28], where the measurement period was either baseline or the relevant cycle length. For each participant the overall post-baseline average was calculated as the average of # of platelet transfusions per cycle.
- Number of Infections (Post-baseline Average) Requiring Intravenous Antibiotics, Anti-fungals, or Antivirals Per 28 Days [Up to week 24; The on-treatment period was considered the period from the date of the first dose to the last treatment study visit.]
The on-treatment adverse event of infection requiring IV antibiotics, antifungals, or antivirals per 28 days/cycle. The overall post-baseline average is the average of number of infections requiring IV antibiotics or IV antiviral per 28 days/cycle. For each participant the overall post-baseline average was calculated as the average of # of infections requiring IV antibiotics or IV antiviral per 28 days per cycle.
- Number of Participants With Adverse Events (AE) [From the first dose of study drug through 28 days after completion of/discontinuation from the study (maximum time on study drug 244 days)]
An AE that resulted in any of the following outcomes was defined as a serious adverse event (SAE): Death; Life-threatening event; Any inpatient hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization; Persistent or significant disability or incapacity; Congenital anomaly or birth defect; Any other important medical event. The severity of an AE was evaluated by the investigator according to National Cancer Institute Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (NCI CTCAE) (Version 4.0) where Grade 1 = Mild, Grade 2 = Moderate, Grade 3 = Severe, Grade 4 = Life-threatening and Grade 5 = Death. Treatment Emergent AEs (TEAE) were defined as AEs with an onset date on or after the first dose of study drug and within 28 days after the date of the last dose. In addition, any AE that occurred beyond this timeframe and that was assessed by the investigator as possibly related to study drug was considered a TEAE.

Description | A participant was considered platelet transfusion independent at baseline if the participant had no platelet transfusions during the 56 days prior to first dose. During the study, a participant was considered platelet transfusion independent during the on-treatment period if the participant had no platelet transfusions during any 56 consecutive days or more (eg, Days 1 through 56, Days 2 through 57, etc.). Otherwise, they were considered platelet transfusion dependent. The total N=44, but 1 participant can only be dependent or independent at baseline for each type of transfusion (ie, total = 44: platelet dependent at BL=18, platelet independent at BL=26) |
Time Frame | Baseline to Cycle 6; The on-treatment period was considered the period from the date of the first dose to the last treatment study visit. |

Title | Number of Platelet Transfusions by Cycle |
---|---|
Description | The number of transfusions received 56 days prior to treatment and during study was standardized per 28 days and summarized by cycle for platelets. The formula for standardizing per 28 days was: [(# of transfusions in the measurement period / length of the measurement period (days)) x 28], where the measurement period was either baseline or the relevant cycle length. For each participant the overall post-baseline average was calculated as the average of # of platelet transfusions per cycle. |
Time Frame | Up to week 24; The on-treatment period was considered the period from the date of the first dose to the last treatment study visit. |

Title | Number of Participants With Adverse Events (AE) |
---|---|
Description | An AE that resulted in any of the following outcomes was defined as a serious adverse event (SAE): Death; Life-threatening event; Any inpatient hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization; Persistent or significant disability or incapacity; Congenital anomaly or birth defect; Any other important medical event. The severity of an AE was evaluated by the investigator according to National Cancer Institute Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (NCI CTCAE) (Version 4.0) where Grade 1 = Mild, Grade 2 = Moderate, Grade 3 = Severe, Grade 4 = Life-threatening and Grade 5 = Death. Treatment Emergent AEs (TEAE) were defined as AEs with an onset date on or after the first dose of study drug and within 28 days after the date of the last dose. In addition, any AE that occurred beyond this timeframe and that was assessed by the investigator as possibly related to study drug was considered a TEAE. |
