Study Details

Study Description

Brief Summary

This is a Phase 2, two-stage study of the safety and efficacy of pracinostat in combination with azacitidine in patients with IPSS-R high and very high risk myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) who are previously untreated with hypomethylating agents (HMAs). Enrollment in this study will be limited to high/very high risk MDS because this group represents the highest unmet need, with median survival of less than 18 months.

Stage 1a will be conducted as an open-label single arm in up to 40 subjects to assess if this regimen with a lower pracinostat dose results in a discontinuation rate that meets a predefined threshold and in efficacy that justifies expansion of enrollment into Stage 1b.

A discontinuation rate of approximately ≤10% in Stage 1a, a rate comparable to that observed with azacitidine alone in study MEI-003 (NCT01873703), supports expansion into Stage 1b.

Stage 1b will be conducted as expansion of stage 1a. Approximately 20 additional subjects will be enrolled. Study drugs should be continued until disease progression or intolerable toxicity. It is important to note that the median time to achieving a response with azacitidine alone is 4 to 5 months. Furthermore, the median time to achieving a Complete Response (CR) in study MEI-003 (NCT01873703) was 4 cycles. Therefore, early (<6 months) discontinuation of trial therapy for 'no response' should be avoided. The Medical Monitor should be contacted prior to discontinuing a subject from the study to discuss the rationale for discontinuation.

Arms and Interventions

Arm Intervention/Treatment
Experimental: Stage 1a and 1b open-label pracinostat plus azacitidine

open-label single arm pracinostat plus azacitidine. Pracinostat: 45 mg administered orally 3 days each week for 3 consecutive weeks, followed by 1 week of rest, in 28-day cycles. In later cycles (i.e., after Cycle 4), pracinostat dose reduction to 45 mg orally 3 days each week × 2 weeks (instead of 3 weeks) or dose interruption is allowed to manage toxicity such as fatigue, gastrointestinal toxicity, or myelosuppression. Azacitidine: 75 mg/m2 for 7 days of each 28-day cycle. Administration will occur by subcutaneous (SC) injection, or IV infusion if SC injections are not tolerated, on one of two schedules: Schedule 1 - daily therapy on Days 1 through 7 Schedule 2 - 5-2-2 schedule in which subjects receive azacitidine for 5 consecutive days (Days 1 through 5) with rest on Days 6 and 7, and resume azacitidine dosing the first two days of the next week (Days 8 and 9) of each 28-day cycle

    Recruitment Details
    Pre-assignment Detail Stage 1 was to be conducted in 20-40 evaluable subjects to assess if the pracinostat dose regimen resulted in a discontinuation rate that met a predefined threshold, and the observed efficacy justified expansion of enrollment in Stage 1b. Stage 1b was conducted to achieve a planned total enrollment of 60 subjects evaluable for efficacy, inclusive of Stage 1 and Stage 1b enrollment.

Azacitidine: 75 mg/m2 for 7 days of each 28-day cycle. Administration will occur by subcutaneous (SC) injection, or IV infusion if SC injections are not tolerated, on one of two schedules: Schedule 1 - daily therapy on Days 1 through 7 Schedule 2 - 5-2-2 schedule in which subjects receive azacitidine for 5 consecutive days (Days 1 through 5) with rest on Days 6 and 7, and resume azacitidine dosing the first two days of the next week (Days 8 and 9) of each 28-day cycle Pracinostat: 45 mg capsule Azacitidine: SC or IV injection
