Lead Sponsor:
Washington University School of Medicine
Conditions:
Myelodysplastic Syndromes
Eligibility:
All Genders
18+ years
Phase:
PHASE2
Brief Summary
The primary endpoint of this study is to estimate morphologic complete remission rate. Estimation of response rate is also a secondary objection.
Detailed Description
Myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) is a hematological disorder characterized by ineffective hematopoiesis. The only known curative treatment for patients with MDS is allogeneic stem cell transplantation. ...
Eligibility Criteria

- ECOG performance status of 0-2.
- Must give written informed consent indicating their awareness of the investigational nature of this study and its potential hazards.
- Adequate renal and hepatic function (creatinine ≤ 150% of institutional upper limit of normal, total bilirubin ≤ 150% institutional upper limit of normal, AST ≤ 200% institutional upper limit of normal).
- Life expectancy of at least 12 weeks.
- Have not received any chemotherapy within 4 weeks of study enrollment and must have recovered from any treatment-related toxicities.

- Receiving any other investigational agents within 30 days of first dose of study drug.
- Uncontrolled intercurrent illness including, but not limited to, ongoing or active infection, congestive heart failure of NYHA class 3 or 4, unstable angina pectoris, cardiac arrhythmia, or psychiatric illness/social situation that would limit compliance with study requirements.
