Myelodysplastic Syndrome Clinical Trial

Study to Evaluate Imetelstat (GRN163L) in Subjects With International Prognostic Scoring System (IPSS) Low or Intermediate-1 Risk Myelodysplastic Syndrome (MDS)

Summary

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of imetelstat in transfusion dependent participants with low or intermediate-1 risk myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) that is relapsed/refractory to erythropoiesis-stimulating agent (ESA) treatment in Part 1 of the study and to compare the efficacy, in terms of red blood cell (RBC) transfusion independence (TI), of imetelstat to placebo in transfusion dependent participants with low or intermediate-1 risk MDS that is relapsed/refractory to ESA treatment in Part 2 of the study.

Full Description

This is a Phase 2/3, multicenter study of imetelstat that consists of 2 parts and approximately 280 participants may be enrolled.

Part 1 is an open-label, single-arm design to assess the efficacy and safety of imetelstat. A total of 57 participants were enrolled in Part 1, including the expansion cohort.
Part 2 is a double-blind, randomized design to compare the efficacy of imetelstat with placebo. In the main study in Part 2, 178 participants were enrolled and randomized in a 2:1 ratio to receive either imetelstat or placebo, respectively.
In a separate Ventricular Repolarization substudy of Part 2, approximately 45 participants will be enrolled and randomized 2:1 to receive either imetelstat or placebo. If after a minimum of 2 treatment cycles in the Ventricular Repolarization substudy, a participant has no significant change to pRBC transfusion burden or evidence of clinical benefit per Investigator, after discussion with the Sponsor the participant may be unblinded. If the participant was on placebo treatment, he/she may be permitted to start treatment with imetelstat.

The Extension Phase will begin after the end of the main study (24 months after the last subject was randomized in the main study of Part 2) and continue until participants who entered Part 2 of the main study participate in the study for up to 5 years from the first dose of imetelstat (including treatment and follow-up), or 3 years of post-treatment follow-up from the last dose of study treatment, whichever occurs later, or until death, withdrawal of consent, study termination, or until a subject is lost to follow-up. Patients ongoing on imetelstat and considered to be benefiting from treatment per Investigator in Part 2 of the study, will have the option to continue receiving imetelstat in the Extension Phase. Patients in the follow-up phase for Part 2 of the study will have the option to continue the follow-up in the Extension Phase.

Part 1 and Part 2 of the study consist of 3 phases: a Screening phase (up to 28 days); a treatment phase; and a post-treatment follow-up phase which will continue until death, lost to follow-up, withdrawal of consent, or the End of the Study (whichever occurs first). The Extension Phase of the study will consist of an extended treatment phase and an extended follow-up phase which will continue until death, lost to follow-up, withdrawal of consent, or the End of the Study (whichever occurs first).
