A Phase III, International, Randomized, Controlled Study of Rigosertib Versus Physician's Choice of Treatment in Patients With Myelodysplastic Syndrome After Failure of a Hypomethylating Agent
This is a Phase III, open-label, randomized, controlled, international study (approximately
100 sites). Approximately 225 patients < 80 years of age with MDS classified as RAEB-1,
RAEB-2, or RAEB-t who received AZA or DEC for ≤ 9 months and had their last dose of AZA or
DEC within 6 months prior to screening will be stratified by:
- Very high risk (VHR) vs non-VHR per IPSS-R, and
- Geographic region (North America vs Europe vs Asia; because approved products and
standard of care may vary by region), and randomly assigned in a 2:1 ratio to one of
the following 2 treatment groups:
- Rigosertib 1800 mg/24 hr administered as a 72 hr CIV infusion on Days 1, 2, and 3 of a
2 week cycle for the first 8 cycles, and on Days 1, 2, and 3 of a 4-week cycle
thereafter (N = approximately 150 patients);
- Physician's Choice of alternative treatment, which may include any approved or
standard-of-care therapy, based on frequently used treatment for MDS after receipt of
HMAs (N = approximately 75 patients). Experimental therapies are not allowed on the PC
arm.
Patients will be treated until 2006 IWG progression criteria are met (ie, 50% increase of BM
blasts or worsening of cytopenias) or until an unacceptable toxicity or intolerance.
For all randomized patients who discontinue study treatment, subsequent therapies with their
start and end dates, as well as survival time after treatment discontinuation, will be
documented at least monthly until death.
Patients in the PC group who progress will not be allowed to cross over to rigosertib.
All patients in both treatment groups will be allowed, as medically justified, access to RBC
and platelet transfusions and to growth factors (granulocyte colony-stimulating factor
(G-CSF), erythropoietin, and thrombopoietin).
A Multi-center, Randomized, Double-blind, Placebo-controlled Clinical Trial of Deferasirox in Patients With Myelodysplastic Syndromes (Low/Int-1 Risk) and Transfusional Iron Overload
A screening period lasting up to 35 days with two screening visits (Visit 1 and Visit 2 - at
least 14 days apart) was used to assess patient eligibility. Eligible patients were
randomized in a 2:1 ratio in deferasirox and placebo arms respectively. All patients who were
randomized in this study started study treatment at 10 mg/kg/day and could be titrated up to
40 mg/kg/day based on dose modification guidelines.
Patients who met a non-fatal event, as specified in the protocol, discontinued from the study
treatment and were followed for safety (28 days) and then evaluated with visits every three
months if they agreed to move into the post treatment evaluation phase. Subsequent to the
evaluation period, or at the end of treatment if a patient and treating physician decided
that a patient would not participate in the evaluation period, patients were followed by
phone monitoring every six months for their need for iron chelation therapy (ICT) and
survival follow-up (OS) until study end.
Patients who did not meet a non-fatal event continued study treatment as long as the patient
and the treating physician felt it was in the best interest for the patient or until the
study terminated. After termination of study treatment, all patients continued to be followed
for safety and endpoints during the evaluation period at visits occurring every three months.
Subsequent to the evaluation period, or at the end of treatment if a patient and treating
physician decided that a patient would not participate in the evaluation period, patients
were followed every 6 months for ICTs and OS.

A Pilot/Safety Study of sEphB4-HSA in Combination With a Hypomethylating Agent (HMA) for Patients With Relapsed or Refractory Myelodysplastic Syndrome (MDS) and AML Previously Treated With a Hypomethylating Agent
PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:
I. To describe the toxicities and assess the tolerability of recombinant EphB4-HSA fusion
protein (sEphB4-HSA) in combination with an approved hypomethylating agent (HMA) among
patients with myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) who are refractory to or have lost their
response to one or more HMAs and among patients with relapsed/refractory acute myeloid
leukemia (AML) previously treated with a HMA.
SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:

on marrow and peripheral blood blasts in patients treated with HMA and sEphB4-HSA in
combination.
III. To profile immune subsets (activated and exhausted T cells, natural killer [NK] cells, T
regulatory cells, and myeloid derived suppressor cells) in the peripheral blood and marrow in
patients treated with HMA and sEphB4-HSA in combination.
IV. To assess efficacy of sEphB4-HSA in combination with an HMA as manifest by International
Working Group (IWG) response criteria, as well as time to development of acute myeloid
leukemia (AML) in patients with MDS and time to progression.
OUTLINE:
Patients receive recombinant EphB4-HSA fusion protein intravenously (IV) over 60 minutes on
days 1 and 15. Patients also receive azacitidine IV or subcutaneously (SC) on days 1-7 or
days 1-5 and 8-9, or decitabine IV on days 1-5. Administration of recombinant EphB4-HSA
fusion protein occurs before or after the HMA (not concurrently). Treatment repeats every 28
days for up to 12 courses in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.
After completion of study treatment, patients are followed up every 6 months.

patients treated on each regimen.
II. To estimate the frequency and severity of toxicities of the three regimens in this
patient population.
III. To investigate in a preliminary manner the frequency of subgroups from prestudy
cytogenetic studies and correlate these subgroups with clinical outcomes in this patient
population.
IV. To collect specimens for banking for use in future research studies.
TERTIARY OBJECTIVES:
I. To evaluate the prevalence of a pre-specified list of molecular lesions (48 total
lesions).
II. To assess associations of these lesions with outcomes (response, event-free survival,
relapse-free survival, and overall survival).
