Sirolimus and Azacitidine in Treating Patients With High Risk Myelodysplastic Syndrome or Acute Myeloid Leukemia That is Recurrent or Not Eligible for Intensive Chemotherapy

Official Title

A Phase II Study of Azacitidine and Sirolimus for the Treatment of High Risk Myelodysplastic Syndrome or Acute Myeloid Leukemia Refractory to or Not Eligible for Intensive Chemotherapy

Brief Summary

      This phase II trial studies how well sirolimus and azacitidine works in treating patients
      with high-risk myelodysplastic syndrome or recurrent acute myeloid leukemia. Sirolimus may
      stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Drugs
      used in chemotherapy, such as azacitidine, work in different ways to stop the growth of
      cancer cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Sirolimus and
      azacitidine may kill more cancer cells.
    

Detailed Description

      PRIMARY OBJECTIVE:

      I. To characterize the rate of response to azacitidine and sirolimus in adults with high-risk
      myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS), or relapsed or refractory acute myeloid leukemia (AML) or
      those unable or unwilling to tolerate high dose chemotherapy.

      SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:

      I. To determine the pharmacodynamic effect of sirolimus on inhibition of mammalian target of
      rapamycin (mTOR) signaling in adults with high-risk MDS, or relapsed or refractory AML or
      those unable or unwilling to tolerate high dose chemotherapy.

      II. To determine the safety and tolerability of sirolimus and azacitidine in adults with
      high-risk MDS, or relapsed or refractory AML or those unable or unwilling to tolerate high
      dose chemotherapy.

      III. To determine the progression free survival and overall survival in adults with high-risk
      MDS, or relapsed or refractory AML or those unable or unwilling to tolerate high dose
      chemotherapy.

      IV. To determine if the quality of life of patients is improved with the combination of
      azacitidine and sirolimus when compared to historical controls of azacitidine alone.

      OUTLINE:

      Patients receive sirolimus orally (PO) on days 1-10 or 1-12 and azacitidine intravenously
      (IV) on days 4-8, 11, and 12 or days 4-10. Treatment repeats every 28 days in the absence of
      disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

      After completion of study treatment, patients are followed up every 3 months.

                  following cytogenetic categories: presence of inv(3)/t(3q)/del(3q), -7/del(7q),
                  complex cytogenetics (3 or more abnormalities)

               -  AML (Arm B): Relapsed/refractory/unable to tolerate conventional chemotherapy

               -  MDS or AML as above BUT with prior therapy with Azacitibine (Arm C): Patients who
                  meet criteria for either Arm A or Arm B but have been treated or are currently
                  treated with Azacitibine *Note: As of July 2018, only high risk MDS patients will
                  be eligible as Arm B is closed. As of October 2017, those patients with MDS who
                  have received prior treatment will now be enrolled in Arm A as Arm C is closed.
