Inqovi Maintenance Therapy for Myelodysplastic Syndrome and Chronic Myelomonocytic Leukemia

Q: For what particular purposes is Inqovi typically prescribed?

Inqovi is the indicated prescription for intermediate-2 IPSS risk category, however it may also be prescribed to address refractory anemias and high-risk ipss as well.

Q: What is the scope of participation in this research endeavor?

Affirmative, the information accessible on clinicaltrials.gov attests to this trial's current recruitment status. It was initially posted on September 17th 2021 and underwent its last update two weeks later; a total of 22 participants are sought from 2 centres.

Q: Are there any vacancies remaining on this research?

Affirmative. Clinicaltrials.gov reports that this research study is currently accepting participants and was first published on September 17th 2021 before being amended two weeks later. At present, the project requires 22 individuals to be recruited from 2 distinct medical centres.

Q: Have any other experiments been conducted with Inqovi?

Currently, there are 104 trials for Inqovi in progress; 16 of which are Phase 3. Most notably, the vast majority of these studies originate from Philadelphia but across 1491 locations globally clinical trials with Inqovi is also taking place.

Q: Are there known risks of using Inqovi?

Due to the limited amount of data available for Inqovi, our team has given it a score of 1 on a scale from 1 to 3 in terms of safety. This is because this is an early-stage trial with little information about its efficacy and safety.

Eligibility Criteria Checklist

Specific guidelines that determine who can or cannot participate in a clinical trial

Must have

Participants must have normal organ and function as defined below: AST (SGOT), ALT (SGPT) and Alkaline phosphatase < 3x institutional upper limit of normal (ULN), Total bilirubin < 1.5 x ULN (with the exception of subjects with a history of Gilbert's syndrome), Calculated creatinine clearance ≥ 30 mL/min (Cockcroft-Gault formula), LVEF must be equal to or greater than 50%, as measured by MUGA scan or echocardiogram, Female patients of childbearing potential must have a negative pregnancy test, as measured by serum or urine testing, The effects of decitabine/cedazuridine on the developing human fetus are unknown. For this reason women of child-bearing potential and men must agree to use adequate contraception (hormonal or barrier method of birth control; abstinence) during the entire study treatment period and through 6 months after the last dose of treatment, Ability to understand and the willingness to sign a written informed consent document

Eligibility Criteria Prior to Treatment (Post HCT): Maintenance therapy may begin at any time between day 30 and day 120 following hematopoietic cell transplantation. Participants must meet the following criteria to be eligible to treatment on this study: Chimerism studies reveal that ≥ 70% of blood or bone marrow cells, or of the CD33 expressing fraction, are of donor origin, There is no acute graft versus host disease (GVHD), requiring an escalation of corticosteroid dose or addition of other agent in the 4 weeks prior to Cycle 1 Day 1, There is no morphological evidence of relapsed/recurrent/residual disease (as assessed by post HCT bone marrow biopsy and aspirate), There is no systemic infection requiring IV antibiotic or antifungal or antiviral therapy within 7 days of starting decitabine/cedazuridine, ANC ≥ 1000/µL, Platelets ≥ 50,000/µL, AST (SGOT), ALT (SGPT) and Alkaline phosphatase < 3x institutional upper limit of normal (ULN), Total bilirubin < 1.5 x ULN (with the exception of subjects with a history of Gilbert's syndrome), Calculated creatinine clearance ≥ 30 mL/min (Cockcroft-Gault formula)

Study Summary

This trial is being done to see if Inqovi is effective in reducing the chance of myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) or chronic myelomonocytic leukemia (CMML) relapsing after stem cell transplant.

Who is the study for?

This trial is for adults with myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) or chronic myelomonocytic leukemia (CMML) who are undergoing their first stem cell transplant. They must have a matched donor, good organ function, and no severe heart issues or infections. Women of childbearing age need a negative pregnancy test and agree to use birth control.Check my eligibility

What is being tested?

The trial tests Inqovi as maintenance therapy post-stem cell transplant to prevent MDS/CMML relapse. Inqovi combines decitabine and cedazuridine, aiming to reduce the chance of disease returning after standard treatment.See study design

What are the potential side effects?

Inqovi may cause side effects like nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, constipation, fatigue, joint pain, low blood counts leading to increased infection risk or bleeding problems. It can also affect liver enzymes.

Experimental Treatment

Group I: Recommended Phase 2 Dose Expansion (RP2S) InqoviExperimental Treatment1 Intervention

Once the Recommended Phase 2 Dose Expansion (RP2S) is established, 10 additional participants will be enrolled and receive Inqovi (decitabine/cedazuridine) on days 1-3 of a 28 day study cycle.

Group II: Dose Escalation InqoviExperimental Treatment1 Intervention

Study will follow a standard '3+3' dose escalation design: Initial group of 3 participants will receive Inqovi (decitabine/cedazuridine) on days 1-3 of a 42 day cycle/dose-limiting toxicity (DLT) period. Additional enrollment, dosage and study cyles will be determined by number of dose-limiting toxicity (DLT) that occur in initial group
