Study Details

Study Description

Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effect of Romiplostim (AMG 531) on the incidence of clinically significant thrombocytopenic events (grade 3 or 4 and/or receipt of platelet transfusions) in subjects with low or intermediate risk Myelodysplastic Syndrome (MDS) receiving hypomethylating agents. It is hypothesized that Romiplostim administration, at the appropriate dose and schedule, will result in reduction in the incidence of clinically significant thrombocytopenic events in low or intermediate risk MDS subjects receiving hypomethylating agents.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

  1. Occurrence of a Clinically Significant Thrombocytopenic Event [Treatment period (up to 20 weeks)]

    Occurrence of a clinically significant thrombocytopenic event within the participant, defined as any platelet count obtained from day 15 of cycle 1 through the end of the interim follow-up visit that was less than 50 x 10^9/L or receipt of platelet transfusions at any time through the interim follow-up visit.

Secondary Outcome Measures

  1. Hypomethylating Agent Dose Reduction and Delay Due to Thrombocytopenia [Treatment period (up to 20 weeks)]

    Occurrence of hypomethylating agent dose reduction and delay due to thrombocytopenia

  2. Achieving an Overall Response (Complete or Partial Response, CR or PR) at the End of the Treatment Period [Treatment period (up to 20 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 [Study day 1 through the interim follow-up visit (up to 20 weeks)]

    Occurrence of one or more platelet transfusions from study day 1 through the interim follow-up visit (16 weeks)

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.
