Gene Therapy Clinical Trials
Randomized Study of ON 01910.Na in Refractory Myelodysplastic Syndrome Patients With Excess Blasts
The primary objective of this study is to compare overall survival (OS) in patients receiving ON 01910.Na + best supportive care (BSC) to OS of patients receiving BSC in a population of patients with myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) with excess blasts (5% to 30% bone marrow blasts) who have failed azacitidine or decitabine treatment. This patient population has no available therapy and a short life expectancy (approximately 4 months). The high level of bone marrow activity of ON 01910.Na documented in Phase 1 and 2 studies has the potential to delay substantially the transition of MDS to Acute Myeloid Leukemia(AML), a very significant and severe complication, which shortens survival of these MDS patients.
Stanford is currently not accepting patients for this trial.

during past 2 years; or relapse after initial complete or partial response or
hematological improvement (according to 2006 IWG criteria) observed after at least six
4-week cycles of azacitidine or four 6-week cycles of decitabine during past 2 years;
or, intolerance to azacitidine or decitabine defined by drug-related ≥Grade 3 liver or
renal toxicity leading to discontinuation during the past 2 years.
