Treatment of Anemia With Epoetin Beta in Low Risk Myelodysplastic Syndrome (MDS)

Phase 2
Completed
Conditions
Myelodysplastic Syndromes
Interventions
Drug: Epoetin beta (NeoRecormon)
Registration Number
NCT02428686
Lead Sponsor
Groupe Francophone des Myelodysplasies
Brief Summary

Chronic anemia is the symptom most frequently found at diagnosis in low risk myelodysplastic syndrome. It generates an increased rate of morbidity and mortality in this population of patients whose median age is high and the rate of co-mobidities important. The historical treatment is limited to transfusion support with a significant impact on quality of life and the incidence of secondary haemosiderosis, which contributes to the emergence of co-morbidities, especially cardiovascular. Treatment with rHuEPO allows for overall erythroid response in 40-60% of patients treated.

In this trial, the investigators intend to study the interest of a treatment with epoetin beta in patients with anemia \<10 g / dL in the context of a myelodysplastic syndrome with IPSS score \<1.

In addition to studying the erythroid response, the investigators will measure the impact on quality of life and functional performance.

Patients will receive epoetin beta (60 000UI/week). Response will be assessed after 12 and 24 weeks of treatment.

Detailed Description

Objective of the trial Assess the level of haematological response according to IWG 2000 and IWG 2006 criteria with a pattern of administration of high doses epoetin beta (NeoRecormon ®) for 12 and 24 weeks of treatment;

To evaluate the predictive value of the rate of reticulocytes at Day 8 on the erythroid response;

* Assess time to response

* Assess tolerance

* Assess the impact on quality of life using the FACT-An and EQ-5D measurement scales;

* Assess functional capacity:

Cardiovascular performance on effort by the 6-minute walk test Performing the " Short Physical Performance Battery " tests

Evaluation The evaluation of response according to the IWG 2000 and IWG 2006 criteria will be held at 12 and 24 weeks of treatment
