Phase III MultiCenter Randomized Controlled Study to Assess Efficacy and Safety of ON 01910.Na 72-Hr Continuous IV Infusion in MDS Patients With Excess Blasts Relapsing After or Refractory to or Intolerant to Azacitidine or Decitabine


This is a Phase III open-label, randomized, controlled, multicenter study (up to 50
centers). Approximately 270 patients with MDS classified as RAEB-1 and RAEB-2 using the WHO
classification and as RAEB-t and chronic myelomonocytic leukemia (CMML) using the FAB
classification who failed, became intolerant to, or progressed after treatment with
5-azacitidine or decitabine administered during the past 2 years, will be randomized in a
2:1 ratio into the following 2 treatment regimens:

- Best Supportive Care (BSC) + ON 01910.Na 1800 mg/24 hr administered as a 72-hr
continuous intravenous (CIV) infusion on Days 1, 2, and 3 of a 2-week cycle (N =
approximately 180 patients)

- BSC (N = approximately 90 patients).

Patients will be stratified at entry by bone marrow (BM) blasts (5% to 19% vs. 20% to 30%).
After completing the first eight 2-week cycles (i.e., after 16 weeks of treatment), the
frequency of further 72-hr CIV infusions will be decreased to an administration on Days 1,
2, and 3 of a 4-week cycle.

Patients will remain treated on study until 2006 International Working Group (IWG)
progression criteria are met (i.e., 50% increase of BM blasts or worsening of cytopenias) or
until death from any cause, whichever comes first.

Patients who progress to Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML) while on study should be offered
either standard treatment for AML or enrollment in an appropriate investigational study if
they are eligible. These treatments with their start and end dates should be documented and
patient survival time will be documented for all randomized patients.

Cross-over of BSC patients to ON 01910.Na after progression will not be allowed. However,
patients in the BSC-only group will be allowed, as medically justified, access to low-dose
cytarabine 20 mg/m2 subcutaneously (SC) once daily for the first consecutive 14 days of each
28-day cycle, up to 4 cycles, until progression or unacceptable toxicity develops. Low-dose
cytarabine will be delayed as needed until recovery of blood counts. All study participants
will be allowed, as medically justified, access to RBC and platelet transfusions and to
growth factors (erythropoietin, Filgrastim [G-CSF]). Hydroxyurea will be allowed to manage
blastic crisis with hyperleukocytosis when patients transition to leukemia.


Inclusion Criteria:



- MDS diagnosis confirmed within 6 weeks prior to entry according to WHO or FAB
classification

- MDS classified as follows, according to WHO and FAB classification:

- RAEB-1 (5% - 9% BM blasts)

- RAEB-2 (10% - 20% BM blasts)

- CMML (10% - 20% BM blasts) and WBC < 13,000/μL

- RAEB-t (21% - 30% BM blasts), with following criteria:

- o WBC < 25 x 10E9/L at entry

- o Stable WBC at least 4 weeks prior to entry and not requiring intervention for
WBC control with hydroxyurea, chemotherapy, or leukopheresis.

- At least one cytopenia (ANC < 1800/µL or platelet count < 100,000/µL or hemoglobin
<10 g/dL)

- Progression according to 2006 International Working Group (IWG) criteria any time
after start of azacitidine or decitabine during past 2 years; or failure to achieve
complete or partial response or hematological improvement (according to 2006 IWG)
after at least six 4-week cycles of azacitidine or four 6-week cycles of decitabine
during past 2 years; or relapse after initial complete or partial response or
hematological improvement (according to 2006 IWG criteria) observed after at least
six 4-week cycles of azacitidine or four 6-week cycles of decitabine during past 2
years; or, intolerance to azacitidine or decitabine defined by drug-related ≥Grade 3
liver or renal toxicity leading to discontinuation during the past 2 years.

- Did not respond to, relapsed after, not eligible for, or opted not to do bone marrow
transplantation

- Off other MDS treatments for at least 4 weeks; Filgrastim (G-CSF) and erythropoietin
allowed before and during the study as clinically indicated.

- No need for induction chemotherapy

- Patient (or a legally authorized representative) must sign informed consent form to
indicate patient's understanding study's purpose and procedures and willingness to
participate

Exclusion Criteria:

bleeding) unless stabilized for 1 week after RBC transfusion.

cancer or carcinoma in situ of the cervix or breast

- Uncontrolled intercurrent illness including, but not limited to, symptomatic
congestive heart failure, unstable angina pectoris, or cardiac arrhythmia

chorionic gonadotropin pregnancy test at screening

Type of Study:

Interventional

Study Design:

Allocation: Randomized, Endpoint Classification: Safety/Efficacy Study, Intervention Model: Parallel Assignment, Masking: Open Label, Primary Purpose: Treatment

Outcome Measure:

Overall survival

Outcome Description:

Overall survival (OS) is defined as the time from randomization to death from any cause. All patients will be followed until death or progression, even if they have discontinued treatment for whatever cause. Patients lost to follow-up will be censored at the time last known alive. The OS primary analysis will compare the active ON 01910.Na regimen to BSC once a total number of 223 deaths has been reached.

Outcome Time Frame:

Up to 18 months

Safety Issue:

No
