A Multi-Site Break Through Cancer Pilot Study Testing the Feasibility and Safety of Therapeutic Intervention for Patients With High-risk Clonal Cytopenia of Undetermined Significance (CCUS)
Summary
This research is being done to find out more about the potential risks and benefits of early treatment in participants with high risk Clonal Cytopenia of Unknown Significance (CCUS). This study will give eligible CCUS participants the option of either being observed or taking an oral drug as treatment. The names of the study drug involved in this study is: -Decitabine/cedazuridine (DEC/CED) (a nucleoside metabolic inhibitor and cytidine deaminase inhibitor).
Detailed description
This is an open-label, multicenter pilot study testing the feasibility and safety of early pharmacologic intervention, decitabine/cedazuridine, in participants with higher-risk clonal cytopenia of unknown significance (CCUS). The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has not approved DEC/CED for CCUS but it has been approved for other uses. The research study procedures include screening for eligibility, in-clinic treatment visits, electrocardiograms, echocardiograms, bone marrow biopsies, and blood tests. Participants who choose to enroll in the intervention cohort will receive the oral drug for 1 year and will continue in a post-treatment observation period for 2 years after treatment. Participants in both groups will each participate in the study for 3 years total. It is expected that the study will continue to enroll up to 108 participants in total or until there are 30 participants enrolled in the early intervention cohort, whichever occurs first. Astex Oncology is funding this research study by providing the drug Decitabine/cedazuridine.
Arms & interventions
- DrugInqovi
Combination of a nucleoside metabolic inhibitor and cytidine deaminase inhibitor, 10mg DEC / 100mg CED tablet, taken orally per protocol.
Outcome measures
Primary
Feasibility Failure Rate (FFR)
FFR is defined by the proportion of eligible subjects with higher risk CCUS who enter the study and opt to participate in the early intervention as opposed to observation only cohort.
Time frame: Treatment duration up to 12 cycles (28 days per cycle).
Secondary
Grade 3-5 Treatment-related Toxicity Rate
Time frame: AE evaluated on treatment at day 1, 8, 15, 22 on cycle 1, then day 1 on cycle 2-12, and EOT. Median treatment duration for this study cohort was 6 months (range T1- T2).
Treatment Tolerability Rate (TTR)
Time frame: Treatment up to 12 cycles, (28 days per cycle).
Hematologic Response Rate (HRR)
Time frame: Response collected every 3 months on treatment. Treatment duration up to 12 cycles, (28 days per cycle).
Median Overt Myeloid Neoplasia (MN)-Free Survival
Time frame: Disease evaluated every 3 months on treatment, then every 12 months off treatment, up to 2 years for interventional cohort, up to 3 years for observation cohort.
Somatic Driver Mutation Variant Allele Frequencies (VAFs) Reduction Rate
Time frame: Clinical next generation sequencing (NGS) is collected every 3 month on treatment, for up to 12 cycles, (28 days per cycle).
Changes in Serum Inflammatory Markers
Time frame: High sensitivity CRP will be measured at screening, every 6 months, and at end of study/disease progression, up to 3 years.
Change in Score of the Adult Comorbidity Evaluation 27 (ACE-27)
Time frame: Survey is evaluated at screening, every 6 months, and at end of study/disease progression, up to 3 years.
Change in Score of the 36-item Short Form Survey (SF-36)
Time frame: Survey is evaluated at screening, every 6 months, and at end of study/disease progression, up to 3 years.
