Study Details

Study Description

Brief Summary

This is a dose and schedule finding study of AMG 531 designed to assess the activity of AMG 531 to reduce the rate of clinically significant bleeding and blood transfusions in subjects with myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) receiving lenalidomide. Subjects with MDS that are planned to receive at least four cycles of lenalidomide for treatment of their disease are appropriate to screen for this study.

All subjects meeting the eligibility criteria will receive lenalidomide 10 mg capsule by mouth daily every day of each 28-day cycle. Subjects will receive AMG 531 or placebo once a week by subcutaneous injection for 16 weeks.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

  1. Occurrence of a Clinically Significant Thrombocytopenic Event [Treatment period through interim follow-up visit (up to 16 weeks)]

    Occurrence of one or more clinically significant thrombocytopenic events, defined as either Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) v. 3 grade 3 or 4 thrombocytopenia starting from week 3 of cycle 1 or receipt of platelet transfusions starting from week 1 of cycle 1 and continuing through the end of treatment visit.

Secondary Outcome Measures

  1. Lenalidomide Dose Reduction and Delay Due to Thrombocytopenia [Treatment period (up to 16 weeks)]

    Occurrence of lenalidomide dose reduction and delay due to thrombocytopenia

  2. Achieving an Overall Response (Complete Response (CR) or Partial Response (PR)) Determined by the Investigator Based on Modified International Working Group 2006 Response Criteria Guidelines [Treatment period and post-treatment follow-up (up to 21 weeks)]

    CR = decrease in bone marrow blast (≤5%) and improvement in peripheral blood counts (Hgb ≥ 11 g/dL, platelets ≥ 100x10^9/L, neutrophils ≥ 1x10^9/L, peripheral blasts=0%). PR = improvement in peripheral blood counts plus a decrease in bone marrow blasts ≥50% but not ≤5, or decrease in International Prognostic Scoring System score.

  3. Platelet Transfusion [Treatment period (up to 16 weeks)]

    Occurrence of one or more platelet transfusions during the treatment period

Adverse Events

Time Frame Up to 21 weeks
Adverse Event Reporting Description The table of Other Adverse Events summarizes the most frequent non-serious occurrences of adverse events. Two subjects who were randomized to Placebo arm received one dose of Romiplostim inadvertently and were summarized in Romiplostim 750 mcg and 500 mcg arm, respectively.

Certain Agreements

Principal Investigators are NOT employed by the organization sponsoring the study.

The Clinical Trial Agreement generally does not restrict an investigator's discussion of trial results after completion. The Agreement permits Amgen a limited period of time to review material discussing trial results (typically up to 45 days and possible extension). Amgen may remove confidential information, but authors have final control and approval of publication content. For multi-center studies, the investigator agrees not to publish any results before the first multi-center publication.
