Clinical summary
Summary
The purpose of this study is to determine whether FG-4592 is safe and effective in the treatment of anemia in patients with Lower Risk Myelodysplastic Syndrome and Low Red Blood Cell Transfusion Burden.
Conditions
This trial is treating people with Myelodysplastic Syndromes (MDS)
Eligibility
Inclusion
- Diagnosis of primary MDS classified by the International Prognostic Scoring System - Revised (IPSS-R) as very low, low or intermediate risk with <5% bone marrow blasts. There is no minimum time from diagnosis to registration/randomization except to allow for proper IPSS-R classification to be made (within 16 weeks prior to randomization), and to show transfusion dependence for participants in both portions of the study.
- RBC transfusion of either 2-4 pRBC units during the 8 weeks prior to registration/randomization or 1 pRBC in two consecutive periods of 8 weeks within the 16 weeks prior to registration/randomization. Open-Label Lead-in participants only, the requirement to demonstrate transfusion dependence can also be met by a Principal Investigator starting this particular participant on pRBC transfusion during the screening period.
- No restriction on prior use of recombinant erythropoietins or analogues (erythropoiesis-stimulating agents [ESAs]), except no ESA use within 8 weeks prior to Day 1 registration/randomization.
- Hemoglobin (Hb) ≤10.0 grams/deciliter (g/dL) during screening
- Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) of 0-2 at screening
Exclusion
- Diagnosis of secondary MDS associated with prior chemotherapy, extensive radiation therapy (>25% of bone marrow reserve), and or/other significant chemical or radiation exposure
- Significant myelofibrosis (>2+ fibrosis)
- MDS associated with 5q(del) cytogenetic abnormality
- Screen serum erythropoietin level > 400 milli-international units (mIU)/milliliter (mL) • Clinically significant anemia, as determined by the investigator, due to non-MDS etiologies such as iron deficiency, vitamin B12 or folate deficiency, autoimmune or hereditary hemolysis or anemia or hemorrhage or hereditary anemia such as sickle cell anemia or thalassemia.
Inclusion
- You have had a certain type of treatment or surgical procedure.
Exclusion
- You have been diagnosed with a prior or secondary type of cancer.
- You have certain types of non-cancer medical conditions.
Clinical trials have complex eligibility criteria, and other criteria may apply for this trial. Ask your doctor about whether this trial could be right for you.
