Intervention/exposure
Study type
Interventional
Description of intervention(s) / exposure
combination 5azacitidine (subcutaneous administration) and oral lenalidomide. All patients begin 5azacitidine 75mg/m2/day x 7 days (75mg/m2/day on days 1-5 and days 8-9) of a 28 day cycle. At Cycle 3, patients are randomised to commence lenalidomide (at 10mg/day x 21 days of a 28 day cycle) in combination with 5 azacitidine (75mg/m2/day x 5 days (days 1-5) of a 28 day cycle) until primary endpoint at 12 months after commencing treatment. Following this, all patients may continue 5azacitidine alone until progression or toxicity.

Treatment: Drugs
Comparator / control treatment
5azacitidine alone (subcutaneous administration; 75mg/m2/day on days 1-5 and days 8-9 of each 28 day cycle) for 12 months until primary endpoint, then all patients may continue 5azacitidine alone until progression or toxicity.

Outcomes
Primary outcome [1] 257962 0
To demonstrate improved efficacy with the combination of lenalidomide and 5azacitidine compared to 5azacitidine alone in patients with MDS and low marrow blast count AML, with acceptable toxicity of the combination. Outcome will be assessed by measures of disease response as defined by International Working Group (IWG) criteria (2006) and determined by peripheral blood counts, transfusions, bone marrow morphology and cytogenetics.
Timepoint [1] 257962 0
12 months from start of treatment
Secondary outcome [1] 263493 0
To describe responses, duration of response and overall survival with 5azacitidine or lenalidomide + 5azacitidine in patients with MDS and low marrow blast count AML. Outcome will be assessed by measures of disease response as defined by International Working Group (IWG) criteria (2006) and determined by peripheral blood counts, transfusions, bone marrow morphology and cytogenetics.
Timepoint [1] 263493 0
2 years after last accrued patient completes study treatment
Secondary outcome [2] 263494 0
To describe tolerability of the combination of lenalidomide and 5azacitidine in patients with MDS and low marrow blast count AML. Outcome will be assessed by rate of non-haematological adverse events and a protocol-specific definition of haematologic toxicity. These events will be documented by clinicians during clinic visits.
Timepoint [2] 263494 0
2 years after last accrued patient completes study treatment
Secondary outcome [3] 263495 0
To explore biomarkers of response and mechanism of action of 5azacitidine and lenalidomide in patients with MDS and low marrow blast count AML using a variety of correlative studies at baseline and on treatment correlated to individual clinical responses
Timepoint [3] 263495 0
2 years after last accrued patient completes study treatment

Purpose of the study
Treatment
Allocation to intervention
Randomised controlled trial
Procedure for enrolling a subject and allocating the treatment (allocation concealment procedures)
Subjects will be registered and randomised at a central administration site. The clinician at the study site who assesses study eligibility as per protocol criteria is unaware prior to the randomisation procedure, which study arm the subject will be allocated.
Methods used to generate the sequence in which subjects will be randomised (sequence generation)
a dynamic computer-based minimisation algorithm will be used to determine approximately equal (1:1 ratio) numbers of patients to each arm (AZA+/- LEN), with stratification by International Prognostic Scoring System (low-int1 or int2-high)
Masking / blinding
Open (masking not used)
