Summary

The purpose of this open label study is to determine whether combining pracinostat (study drug) with Vidaza (azacitidine) or Dacogen (decitabine) will improve clinical responses in Myelodysplastic Syndrome (MDS) patients who have failed an initial single agent hypomethylating agent (HMA), and to provide additional safety and efficacy data.

Conditions

Interventions

DRUG

pracinostat

Histone deacetylase inhibitor (HDACi) Pracinostat is to be taken before HMA administration 3 times/week (e.g., Monday, Wednesday, and Friday) for 3 weeks, followed by 1 week of rest as a 28-day cycle. Pracinostat administration will be at the clinic on Day 1 of Cycles 1 and 2 and subject will self-administer at home on all other days

DRUG

Azacitidine

All patients will receive the dose and schedule of azacitadine to which they previously failed to respond. (e.g. 75 mg/m2 via subcutaneous (SC) injection or intravenous infusion if SC injections are intolerable; 7 days of each 28 day cycle, either Days 1-7, or Days 1-5, rest on Days 6-7, and azacitadine dosing on Days 8-9)

DRUG

Decitabine

All patients will receive the dose and schedule of decitabine to which they previously failed to respond. Common 28 day treatment regimens include: 20 mg/m2 IV for either 5 or 10 days of each 28-day cycle, 10 mg/m2 given intravenously daily for first 10 days of each 28 day cycle, or 20 mg/m2 given subcutaneously daily for the first 5 days of each 28 day cycle. The 6-week regimen utilizes a dose of 15 mg/m2 by continuous intravenous infusion over 3 hours repeated every 8 hours for 3 days repeated every 6 weeks.
