Registration Number
NCT05175508
Lead Sponsor
The First Affiliated Hospital of Soochow University
Brief Summary

This is a randomized, open-label, multicenter study to compare the efficacy and safety of AZA with or without ATRA in newly diagnosed unfit AML or Intermediate,High or Very High Risk MDS

Detailed Description

Newly diagnosed unfit AML and Intermediate,High or Very High Risk Myelodysplastic Syndromes (MDS) as Per IPSS-R Criteria are unable to tolerate the intensive chemo-therapy regimens due to their old age and poor physical condition, resulting in limited overall survival. Nowadays, AZA are recommended for unfit acute myeloid leukemia or myelodysplastic syndromes patients with remission rate of 30%\~34%. AZA with or without all-trans retinoic acid (ATRA) can cooperatively inhibit leukemia cell proliferation , induce apoptosis and differentiation.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Overall survival (OS)24months

time from randomization to death from any cause, or last known date to be alive.

Progression-free survival (PFS)24 months

Progression-free survival (PFS) will be measured from time of enrolling in the clinical trial to the date on which disease progresses or the date on which the patient dies, whichever comes first.

Overall Response Rate (ORR)6 months

Number of participants (responders) achieving ORR after the 6 cycle treatments,Overall response rate (ORR) based on the International Working Group (IWG)-2006 criteria, which include complete remission (CR), partial remission (PR), and major hematologic improvement (HI).

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Percentage of Participants Achieving Transfusion Independence (TI) Who are Transfusion Dependent at Baseline6 months

TI is when the participants who were transfusion dependent on RBC and/or Platelet at baseline achieve transfusion independence post baseline. TI is a period of at least 56 days with no transfusion after the date of the first dose of study drug to the last dose of study drug + 30 days, the initiation of post-treatment therapy, or death, whichever is earliest.
