Study Overview

Brief Summary

This is a dose and schedule finding study of AMG 531 designed to assess the activity of AMG 531 to reduce the rate of clinically significant bleeding and blood transfusions in subjects with myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) receiving lenalidomide. Subjects with MDS that are planned to receive at least four cycles of lenalidomide for treatment of their disease are appropriate to screen for this study.

All subjects meeting the eligibility criteria will receive lenalidomide 10 mg capsule by mouth daily every day of each 28-day cycle. Subjects will receive AMG 531 or placebo once a week by subcutaneous injection for 16 weeks.

Outcomes

Primary Outcomes

Occurrence of a Clinically Significant Thrombocytopenic Event

Time Frame: Treatment period through interim follow-up visit (up to 16 weeks)

Occurrence of one or more clinically significant thrombocytopenic events, defined as either Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) v. 3 grade 3 or 4 thrombocytopenia starting from week 3 of cycle 1 or receipt of platelet transfusions starting from week 1 of cycle 1 and continuing through the end of treatment visit.

Secondary Outcomes

  • Lenalidomide Dose Reduction and Delay Due to Thrombocytopenia(Treatment period (up to 16 weeks))
  • Achieving an Overall Response (Complete Response (CR) or Partial Response (PR)) Determined by the Investigator Based on Modified International Working Group 2006 Response Criteria Guidelines(Treatment period and post-treatment follow-up (up to 21 weeks))
  • Platelet Transfusion(Treatment period (up to 16 weeks))
