简要总结
The primary purpose of this trial was is to assess the effect of treatment with deferasirox combined with erythropoietin vs. erythropoietin alone on erythropoiesis in patients with low- and int-1-risk myelodysplastic syndrome. The addition of deferasirox to erythropoietin can lead to a potential synergism with the reduction of reactive oxygen species, through both the NF-kB pathway and the control of free toxic iron. This may create a better environment in the bone marrow for a better response with erythropoietin.
This study was designed to test in a prospective way the combination of deferasirox with erythropoietin in terms of their effect on hematopoiesis.
详细描述
This study did not meet the original enrollment objective of 60 patients and was terminated without extending enrollment past original planned LPFV of 31-Oct-2016.

入选标准
- •Patients who had low- and Int-1-risk myelodysplastic syndrome
- •Documented diagnosis of the following:
- •Myelodysplastic syndrome that lasted ≥ 3 months and < 3 years Disease must not have been secondary to treatment with radiotherapy, chemotherapy, and/or immunotherapy for malignant or autoimmune diseases
- •A hemoglobin < 10 g/dL and ≥ 8 g/dL
- •History of transfusions < 10 RBC units and must not have been RBC transfusion dependent
- •300 ng/mL < serum ferritin < 1,500 ng/mL (Values within 10% difference above 1500 ng/ml or 10% difference below 300 ng/ml could have been accepted at the investigator's discretion.
- •Endogenous erythropoietin levels < 500 units/L
- •Serum creatinine ≤ 1.5 times upper limit of normal (ULN)
- •Creatinine clearance above the concentration limit in locally approved prescribing information (PI). Patients with creatinine clearance between 40 and less than 60 mL/min, who did not present with additional risk factors that might impair renal function, were eligible at the discretion of the investigator
排除标准
- •Patients who had MDS with isolated del(5q)
- •Patients who had received prior EPO treatment or other recombinant growth factors regardless of the outcome (Patient who had received prior EPO treatment or other recombinant growth factors for less than 4 weeks and not within 3 months before screening without a documented response are allowed)
- •Patients who had received steroids or immunosuppressive therapy for the improvement of hematological parameters (stable steroid treatment for adrenal failure or chronic medical conditions, and intermittent dexamethasone as antiemetics were allowed).
- •B12 and folate deficient patients with and without clinical symptoms (patients were rescreened after successful therapy of B12 and folate deficiency)
- •Uncontrolled seizures or uncontrolled hypertension
研究组 & 干预措施
Erythropoietin alpha
Patients will receive erythropoietin 40,000 units/week. If after 4 weeks erythroid improvement is inadequate, dose will be escalated to 60,000 units/week. If after 12 weeks of treatment, erythroid improvement in inadequate, patients will be switched to the combination arm. At any time when erythroid response is achieved, erythropoietin treatment will be stopped until end of study.
干预措施: Erythropoietin alpha (Drug)
Deferasirox + Erythropoietin alpha
Patients will receive deferasirox dispersible tablet (DT) 10 mg/kg/day or deferasirox film-coated tablet (FCT) 7 mg/kg/day in combination with erythropoietin 40,000 units/week. If after 4 weeks erythroid improvement is inadequate, erythropoietin dose will be escalated to 60,000 units/week. If after 12 weeks of treatment, erythroid improvement in inadequate, patients will be discontinued from the study. At any time when erythroid response is achieved, erythropoietin treatment will be stopped until end of study. Patients will continue deferasirox treatment.
干预措施: Deferasirox DFX, DT (Drug)
Deferasirox + Erythropoietin alpha
Patients will receive deferasirox dispersible tablet (DT) 10 mg/kg/day or deferasirox film-coated tablet (FCT) 7 mg/kg/day in combination with erythropoietin 40,000 units/week. If after 4 weeks erythroid improvement is inadequate, erythropoietin dose will be escalated to 60,000 units/week. If after 12 weeks of treatment, erythroid improvement in inadequate, patients will be discontinued from the study. At any time when erythroid response is achieved, erythropoietin treatment will be stopped until end of study. Patients will continue deferasirox treatment.

结局指标
主要结局
Difference in Percentage of Patients Achieving Erythroid Response Within 12 Weeks, by Treatment Group (Full Analysis Set)
时间窗: Baseline up to 12 weeks
Difference in percentage of patients achieving an erythroid response within 12 weeks of treatment between the two arms according to modified IWG 2006 criteria increase in hemoglobin (Hb) ≥ 1.5 g/dL. Erythroid response is defined as the increase in Hb from baseline ≥ 1.5 g/dL. Patients achieving erythroid response at least once within 12 weeks were considered responders
