Brief Summary:
This study is designed as a multicenter trial, with biological assignment to one of two study arms; Arm 1: Reduced intensity conditioning allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (RIC-alloHCT), Arm 2: Non-Transplant Therapy/Best Supportive Care.

Condition or disease Intervention/treatment Phase
MDS Procedure: Allogeneic Hematopoietic Cell Transplant Procedure: Hypomethylating Therapy / Best Supportive Care Phase 2

Detailed Description:

Background: MDS is a clonal disorder of hematopoietic precursors and stem cells, which may evolve to a terminal phase resembling acute leukemia. A subject of clinical urgency for researchers, clinicians, patients, and health care underwriters such as Medicare, is the role of allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (alloHCT) in the treatment of older patients with higher risk myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS). The use of reduced intensity conditioning (RIC) regimens has extended HCT to the care of older patients with acute myelogenous leukemia (AML) and lymphoma and a number of retrospective and phase II trials for patients with MDS now show the curative potential of RIC alloHCT in selected patients.

This protocol is designed to evaluate the relative benefits of RIC alloHCT compared to non-transplant therapies focusing on overall survival. This will be done by having patients biologically assigned to the alloHCT arm or the hypomethylating therapy/best supportive care arm and following them for survival at 3 years.

Outcome Measures
Go to 
Top of Page Study Description Study Design Arms and Interventions Outcome Measures Eligibility Criteria Contacts and Locations More Information

Primary Outcome Measures :
  1. Overall survival [ Time Frame: 3 years ]
    Overall survival is calculated for all patients from date of patient consent until death from any cause. Observation is censored at the date of last follow-up for patients last known to be alive.


Secondary Outcome Measures :
  1. Leukemia-free survival (LFS) [ Time Frame: 3 years ]
    LFS is defined as the time from the date of patient consent to the date of progression to AML or death from any cause, whichever comes first. Observation is censored at the date of last follow-up for patients known to be alive without leukemia. Progression to AML is defined as > 20% leukemic blasts in bone marrow or in the peripheral blood.

  2. Number of participants on HCT arm with disease relapse [ Time Frame: 3 years ]
    Disease relapse for patients with MDS is defined as: Satisfying criteria for evolution into acute leukemia; or reappearance of pre-transplant morphologic abnormalities, detected in bone marrow specimens; or reappearance of pre-transplant cytogenetic abnormality in at least one metaphase on each of two separate consecutive examinations at least one month apart, regardless of the number of metaphases analyzed; or institution of any therapy to treat relapsed disease (institution of any therapy not meant for maintenance or prevention), including withdrawal of immunosuppressive therapy or DLI.

  3. Cost-Effectiveness Analysis (CEA) [ Time Frame: 3 years ]

    The primary endpoint for the CEA will be the cost per quality-adjusted life year (QALY) from the third party payer perspective with two time horizons: (1) within trial (at 3 years post-enrollment), and (2) lifetime using simulating modeling.

    The secondary endpoint for the CEA is the cost per QALY from the societal perspective, a broader measure that captures health insurer direct medical care costs and patient out-of-pocket direct medical and direct non-medical costs. Patient productivity costs (captured as part of QALY calculations) will be reported separately.


  4. Quality of Life (QOL) - (Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy-Bone Marrow Transplant) FACT-BMT [ Time Frame: 3 years ]
    QOL will be compared between the 2 arms using the FACT-BMT survey.

  5. Quality of Life (QOL) - Medical Outcomes Study Short Form (MOS SF-36) [ Time Frame: 3 years ]
    QOL will be compared between the 2 arms using the MOS SF-36 survey.

  6. Quality of Life (QOL) - EQ-5D [ Time Frame: 3 years ]
    QOL will be compared between the 2 arms using the EQ-5D survey.

Ages Eligible for Study:   50 Years to 75 Years   (Adult, Older Adult)
Sexes Eligible for Study:   All

Criteria

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Patients fulfilling the following criteria will be eligible for entry into this study:

    1. Patients with de novo MDS who have, or have previously had, Intermediate-2 or High risk disease as determined by the International Prognostic Scoring System (IPSS). Current Intermediate-2 or High risk disease is NOT a requirement.

    2. Patients must have an acceptable MDS subtype:

      • Refractory cytopenia with unilineage dysplasia (RCUD) (includes refractory anemia (RA))
      • Refractory anemia with ringed sideroblasts (RARS)
      • Refractory anemia with excess blasts (RAEB-1)
      • Refractory anemia with excess blasts (RAEB-2)
      • Refractory cytopenia with multilineage dysplasia (RCMD)

Patients who have started a sibling donor search or who have found a matched sibling donor are eligible.

    8. Patients and physicians must be willing to comply with treatment assignment:

      1. No intent to proceed with alloHCT using donor sources not specified in this protocol, including human leukocyte antigen (HLA)-mismatched related or unrelated donors (< 6/6 HLA related matched or < 8/8 HLA unrelated matched) or umbilical cord blood unit(s).
      2. No intent to use myeloablative conditioning regimens.
      3. Intent to proceed with RIC alloHCT if a matched sibling or matched unrelated donor is identified. There is no requirement as to the timing of the transplantation.
    9. Patients must be considered to be suitable RIC alloHCT candidates at the time of enrollment based on medical history, physical examination, and available laboratory tests. Specific testing for organ function is not required for eligibility but, if available, these tests should be used to judge eligibility.
