Scientific title5-azacitidine in chronic myelomonocytic leukaemia (CMML): a two stage phase II, non-randomised, single arm, multi-centre, prospective trial
Study acronymCMML201
Study objectivesTo assess the safety, tolerability and efficacy of 5-azacitidine in patients with chronic myelomonocytic leukaemia (CMML).

Please note as of 04/11/2009 this record was updated to include extensions to the anticipated start and end dates; the initial trials dates at the time of registration were:
Initial anticipated start date: 15/03/2009
Initial anticipated end date: 15/03/2011

05/03/2013: Please note that as of 17/08/2010, recruitment for this trial closed
Ethics approval(s)Added 04/11/2009:
Northern and Yorkshire Research Ethics Committee on 28/04/2009 (ref: 09/H0903/13)
Amendment 1 on 02/09/2009
Health condition(s) or problem(s) studiedChronic myelomonocytic leukaemia
InterventionPatients should be assessed for their suitability for treatment on Day -5 to Day 1 (start of treatment) of each cycle. Patients should be pre-medicated with ondansentron as per local anti-emetic policy. All patients will receive 100 mg/m^2 of 5-azacitidine on days 1 - 5 by subcutaneous injection. Those patients unable to tolerate the subcutaneous route of drug administration (due to severe local skin reactions) will be withdrawn from the study.

The cycle is repeated every 28 days for at least 6 cycles or until disease progression. After the 6th cycle of treatment all patients will undergo an assessment of response; responders may continue drug administration until loss of response or development of unacceptable toxicity.
Intervention typeDrug
Pharmaceutical study type(s)
PhasePhase II
Drug / device / biological / vaccine name(s)5-azacitidine, ondansentron
Primary outcome measure1. To assess the safety and tolerability of 5-azacitidine, monitored throughout the trial
2. To assess the overall response rate, measured at the end of treatment
Secondary outcome measuresTo assess response of disease to 5-azacitidine, specifically:
1. Incidence of complete remission (CR)/partial remission(PR)
2. Haematological improvement
3. Control of myeloproliferation
4. Incidence of reduction in spleen size by greater than 50%
5. Overall survival
6. Time to acute myeloid leukaemia (AML) transformation of CMML
7. Time to death or AML transformation of CMML
8. Biological correlates

All monitored throughout the trial.
