iCare 2: Personalized Genomic Mutation Informed Treatment of Patients With Myelodysplastic Syndromes
Myelodysplastic Syndromes
About this trial
This is an interventional treatment trial for Myelodysplastic Syndromes focused on measuring myelodysplastic syndromes, MDS, computational biology, relapsed, refractory
Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion Criteria:
- Provide written informed consent
- Must be at least 18 years of age
- Diagnosis of MDS, as defined by World Health Organization (WHO) 2008, that has relapsed after any duration of time from last best response or is refractory to induction therapy (defined as 4 cycles of treatment with a hypomethylating agent, 2 cycles of lenalidomide, 1 cycle of low intensity chemotherapy, or 1 cycle of high intensity chemotherapy)
- ECOG performance status of 0-2
Women of child-bearing potential (i.e., women who are pre-menopausal or not surgically sterile) may participate, provided they meet the following conditions:
- Must agree to use physician-approved contraceptive methods (e.g., abstinence, intrauterine device, oral contraceptive, double barrier device) throughout the study and for 3 months following the last dose of study treatment; and
- Must have a negative serum or urine pregnancy test within 7 days prior to beginning treatment on this trial
- Males with female partners of child-bearing potential must agree to use physician approved contraceptive methods (e.g., abstinence, condoms, vasectomy) throughout the study and should avoid conceiving children for 6 months following the last dose of study treatment.
Exclusion Criteria:
- Must not have acute myeloid leukemia (AML), as defined by WHO 2008
- Pregnant and nursing subjects are excluded because the effects of study treatments on a fetus or nursing child are unknown
- Must not have had treatment with any anti-cancer therapy (investigational or standard) within the previous 21 days prior to the first dose of study drug or less than full recovery (no worse than CTCAE v4.0 grade 1) from the clinically significant toxic effects of that treatment.

Arms of the Study
Arm 1
Arm 2
Experimental
Active Comparator
Computational Biology-Informed Treatment
Standard of Care Treatment
Patients randomized to this arm will receive an FDA-approved drug or combination of drugs predicted to have a therapeutic effect based on their individual MDS disease genetic profile by a computational biology simulation software program. The specific drug or combination of drugs that a patient on this arm will receive will be decided jointly by a molecular oncology board comprised of physicians, pharmacists, and nurse coordinators and the treating physician. Patients will receive a minimum of 2 months and a maximum of 4 months of treatment with the selected drug or combination of drugs.
Patients randomized to this arm will receive either one of three standard of care treatment regimens of the treating physician's choice (low-dose cytarabine, 7 + 3 induction, or FLAG induction) or supportive care alone. Patients will receive a minimum of 2 months and a maximum of 4 months of the selected treatment regimen or of supportive care alone.
