Study summary

To explore the efficacy of venetoclax combined with azacytidine in Myelodysplastic / myeloproliferative neoplasms(MDS/MPN), so as to improve the overall survival and treatment status of MDS/MPN patients.

Read the detailed description

At present, there is no standardized treatment strategy for MDS/MPN. The purpose of our study is to explore the efficacy of venetoclax combined with azacytidine in the treatment of MDS/MPN, so as to improve the overall survival and treatment status of patients with MDS/MPN. After the participants were treated with four cycles of venetoclax combined with azacytidine, the efficacy was evaluated according to the 2015 adult MDS/MPN response criteria to determine the disease status. Participants with disease progression and intolerance withdrew from the study during treatment.

Study arms

  • Experimental
    Treatment regime

    On day 1 of each cycle, decitabine 75 mg/m2 will be given subcutaneously, and will continue for 5 days. Simultaneously the patient will start out with Venetoclax 100mg and progress to 400mg until the 14 day cycle is finished.

    Drug: venetoclax combined with azacitidine

Interventions

  • Drugvenetoclax combined with azacitidine

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Overall Response Rate (ORR)

    ORR (equals the rates of complete remission \[CR\]+partial remission \[PR\]+complete cytogenetic remission \[CCyR\]+marrow response \[MR\[+clinical benefit \[CB\] )of venetoclax in combination with azacitidine. 1. CR and CCyR are shown in the secondary outcome measures below. 2. PR: Normalization of peripheral counts and hepatosplenomegaly with bone marrow blasts (and blast equivalents) reduced by 50%, but remaining\>5% of cellularity except in cases of MDS/MPN with≤5% bone marrow blasts at baseline. 3. MR: Optimal marrow response: Presence of all marrow criteria necessary for CR without normalization of peripheral blood indices. Partial marrow response: Bone marrow blasts (and blast equivalents) reduced by 50%, but remaining\>5% of cellularity, or reduction in grading of reticulin fibrosis from baseline on at least 2 bone marrow evaluations spaced at least 2 months apart. 4. CB: Hematology improvement, spleen response and symptom response.

    Time frame: Study start date to study end date, or death, whichever comes first, up to 4 years

Secondary outcomes

  1. Complete remission rate

    1. Bone marrow: ≤5% myeloblasts (including monocytic blast equivalent in case of CMML) with normal maturation of all cell lines and return to normal cellularity Osteomyelofibrosis absent or equal to "mild reticulin fibrosis" (≤grade 1 fibrosis). 2. Peripheral blood: Leukocyte≤10×10E9 cells/L; Hemoglobin≥11g/dL; Platelets≥100×10E9/L, ≤450×10E9/L; Neutrophils≥1.0×10E9/L; Blasts 0%; Neutrophil precursors reduced to≤2%; Monocytes ≤1.0× 10E9/L. 3. Extramedullary disease: Complete resolution of extramedullary disease present before therapy (eg, cutaneous disease, disease-related serous effusions), including palpable hepatosplenomegaly.

    Time frame: Study start date to study end date, or death, whichever comes first, up to 4 years

  2. Complete remission rate of bone marrow morphology

    Presence of all marrow criteria necessary for CR without normalization of peripheral blood indices as presented above.

    Time frame: Study start date to study end date, or death, whichever comes first, up to 4 years

  3. Hematology improvement (HI) rate

    Percentages of participants with HI (erythroid/platelet/neutrophil responses) 1. Erythroid response: Hemoglobin increase by≥2.0 g/dL; Transfusion independence (TI) for ≥8 week for patients requiring at least 4 packed red blood cell transfusions in the previous 8 week; Only red blood cell transfusions given based on physician's judgment for a pretreatment Hgb of ≤8.5 g/dL will count in the red blood cell TI response evaluation. 2. Platelet response: TI when previously requiring platelet transfusions of at least a rate of 4 platelet transfusions in the previous 8 week; Pretreatment≤20×10E9/L: increase from\<20×10E9/L to\>20×10E9/L and by at least 100%; Pretreatment\>20×10E9/L but≤100×10E9/L: absolute increase of ≥30×10E9/L. 3. Neutrophil response: Pretreatment≤0.5×10E9/L at least 100% increase and an absolute increase≥0.5×10E9/L; Pretreatment\>0.5×10E9/L and≤1.0×10E9/L, at least 50% increase and an absolute increase ≥0.5×10E9/L.

    Time frame: Study start date to study end date, or death, whichever comes first, up to 4 years

  4. Complete cytogenetic remission rate

    Resolution of previously present chromosomal abnormality (known to be associated with myelodysplastic, syndrome myeloproliferative neoplasms, or MDS/MPN), as seen on classic karyotyping with minimal of 20 metaphases or FISH.

    Time frame: Study start date to study end date, or death, whichever comes first, up to 4 years

  5. Incidence of severe infection (≥grade 3 )

    Assessed using CTCAE 5

    Time frame: Study start date to study end date, or death, whichever comes first, up to 4 years

  6. Spleen response rate

    Either a minimum 50% reduction in palpable splenomegaly of a spleen that is at least 10 cm at baseline or a spleen that is palpable at more than 5 cm at baseline becomes not palpable.

    Time frame: Study start date to study end date, or death, whichever comes first, up to 4 years

  7. Symptom response rate

    Improvement in symptoms as noted by decrease of ≥50% as per the MPN-SAF TSS scoring\<20 were not considered eligible for measuring clinical benefit.
