Clinical trials are an important way to improve treatment for people with cancer. While most are continuing during the COVID-19 pandemic, the period of time that clinical trials are available and recruiting may change quickly. If you would like to get involved in a clinical trial, speak to your treatment team or the health service where the clinical trial is being undertaken, to confirm it is open and appropriate for you. For cancer information and support, call Cancer Council's experienced cancer nurses on 13 11 20 Monday to Friday from 9am-5pm.

Trial Overview Read MoreRead more

This phase II trial is trying to find out if a new immunotherapy (sabatolimab), when given in combination with other cancer treatments (azacitidine and venetoclax) is safe and has beneficial effects in people with high or very high risk myelodysplastic syndrome who are not suitable for treatment with intensive chemotherapy or a stem-cell transplant.
 

This trial is treating patients with high and very high risk myelodysplastic syndromes.

This is a systemic therapy trial.

You may be excluded from this trial if:

Summary

This study is being run in two parts. Part 1 (Safety-Run In) consists of two sequential cohorts of a lower dose (cohort 1) and a higher dose (cohort 2) of sabatolimab in combination with fixed dose of venetoclax and azacitidine. Cohort 2 will be open only after the review of safety data from Cohort 1 indicates the regimen is safe. If the regimen using sabatolimab at the lower dose is not safe, the study will be stopped. Subsequently, if the review of safety data from participants enrolled in cohort 2 indicates that the regimen is safe, then Part 2 will be opened. Otherwise, if the regimen at the higher dose is not safe, the study will be also stopped. Part 2 (Expansion) will enrol additional participants to further investigate the regimen including sabatolimab at the higher dose, azacitidine and venetoclax. Participants data from Part 1 and Part 2 treated with the higher dose will be combined to determine the complete remission rate.
