Trial Outcomes & Findings for Phase II Study of Lenalidomide and Eltrombopag in Patients With Symptomatic Anemia (NCT NCT01772420)

NCT ID: NCT01772420

Last Updated: 2023-07-27

Results Overview

The number of patients demonstrating overall Hematologic Improvement (HI) was assessed based on the MDS 2006 IWG criteria. The IWG criteria for HI define specific responses of cytopenia in the 3 hematopoietic lineages: erythroid (HI-E), platelet (HI-P), and neutrophil (HI-N) as demonstrated in corresponding outcome measures. Responses must have sustained for at minimum of 8 weeks for the participant to be included in the tally.

Measure
Arm A (Platelets > 50,000 k/uL) LEN Initiation
Patients with baseline platelet counts \>50,000 k/uL received lenalidomide (LEN) PO daily or QOD on days 1-21. If platelet counts fell below 50,000 k/uL during treatment, patients discontinued LEN and received eltrombopag olamine (ELT) PO daily or QOD until platelet counts \> 50,000 k/uL were achieved, and then maintained for 2 weeks thereafter. If a platelet count \>50,000 k/uL was maintained, patients discontinued ELT and resumed only LEN as a single agent (PO daily or QOD). If platelets fell below 50,000 k/uL a second time, LEN was stopped and ELT was re-initiated at the dose last given to the patient. Once platelet counts were \>50,000 k/uL and maintained for 2 weeks, patients resumed LEN concurrently with ELT for all subsequent courses. Treatment repeated every 28 days for 4 courses in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

Arm B (Platelets < 50,000 k/uL) ELT Initiation With Potential LEN Combination
Patients with baseline platelet counts \<50,000 k/uL received eltrombopag olamine (ELT) PO daily or QOD on days 1-28 until a platelet count \>50,000 k/uL was achieved. Once a platelet count\>50,000 k/uL was achieved the ELT dose was maintained for two weeks. After two weeks ELT was discontinued and LEN was started as in Arm A (i.e., eltrombopag olamine discontinued and lenalidomide started). Patients in Arm B were permitted to stay on ELT alone if a hematologic response on ELT was achieved as defined by the 2006 International Working Group (IWG) consensus criteria, or if baseline hemoglobin was \>10.0 g/dL and didn't decrease while on study drug. Treatment repeated every 28 days for 4 courses in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

Measure
Arm A (Platelets > 50,000 k/uL) LEN Initiation
n=16 Participants
Patients with baseline platelet counts \>50,000 k/uL received lenalidomide (LEN) PO daily or QOD on days 1-21. If platelet counts fell below 50,000 k/uL during treatment, patients discontinued LEN and received eltrombopag olamine (ELT) PO daily or QOD until platelet counts \> 50,000 k/uL were achieved, and then maintained for 2 weeks thereafter. If a platelet count \>50,000 k/uL was maintained, patients discontinued ELT and resumed only LEN as a single agent (PO daily or QOD). If platelets fell below 50,000 k/uL a second time, LEN was stopped and ELT was re-initiated at the dose last given to the patient. Once platelet counts were \>50,000 k/uL and maintained for 2 weeks, patients resumed LEN concurrently with ELT for all subsequent courses. Treatment repeated every 28 days for 4 courses in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Eltrombopag Olamine: Given PO Laboratory Biomarker Analysis: Correlative studies Lenalidomide: Given PO
Arm B (Platelets < 50,000 k/uL) ELT Initiation With Potential LEN Combination
n=15 Participants
Patients with baseline platelet counts \<50,000 k/uL received eltrombopag olamine (ELT) PO daily or QOD on days 1-28 until a platelet count \>50,000 k/uL was achieved. Once a platelet count\>50,000 k/uL was achieved the ELT dose was maintained for two weeks. After two weeks ELT was discontinued and LEN was started as in Arm A (i.e., eltrombopag olamine discontinued and lenalidomide started). Patients in Arm B were permitted to stay on ELT alone if a hematologic response on ELT was achieved as defined by the 2006 International Working Group (IWG) consensus criteria, or if baseline hemoglobin was \>10.0 g/dL and didn't decrease while on study drug.
