Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Main Objective: Phase I To determine the safety of the deferasinox-vitaminD-azacitidine comination in the treatment of high-risk MDS Phase II To evaluate the response rate (CR, PR, marrow CR, according to IWG 2006 criteria);Secondary Objective: Clinical part, to determine: -the duration of the response -overall survival -the safety profile Biological studies: -Pre-treatment assessment; incidence of vitamin D deficiency and iron overload in MDS -To monitor the safety of the combination iron work up; vitamin D level, renal function, phosphorus/calcium work up. -To assess the correction of cytopenias and other effects on the complete blood count (elevation of circulating monocytes, blast counts) -To establish pre-treatment tests that would predict the clinical response. -To understand the mechanisms underlying efficacy, any resistance and secondary treatment failure.;Primary end point(s): Phase I: Safety of the deferasirox-vitamin D combination and of azacitidine. It will be analyzed after 2 cycles, and the decision to continue to the dose level above and to enroll 20 phase II patients (10 patients per group) will be taken after assessment of the first patients enrolled by an independent data monitoring committee (IDMC), in association with the investigators. -Phase II: number of complete responses (CR) + partial responses (PR) according to IWG 2006 criteria .;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: Phase I: Toxicity, evaluated using NCI-CTCAE V3.0 criteria. All patients who have received at least one cycle will be considered evaluable for response. Phase II: response, according to IWG 2006 criteria.

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Secondary end point(s): Total percentage of responses, including all patients achieving CR, PR, marrow CR or hematologic improvement, evaluated according to IWG 2006 criteria after 3 and 6 treatment cycles. -Duration of response, measured from the date an objective response was achieved to the date of relapse or progression or the date of last contact if no event occurred. -Overall survival measured from the date of enrollment to death or the date of last contact. -Biological assessment ;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: to determine -the duration of the response -overall survival -the safety profile
