Myelodysplastic Syndrome clinical trials at UC Irvine

• Collection of Samples From Patients With MDS

  open to eligible people ages 18 years and up

  The purpose of this study is to collect information and bone marrow, blood, saliva, cheek cells and skin to be used in the laboratory to assist the sponsor in identifying a new way of treating MDS.

• Magrolimab Monotherapy or Magrolimab in Combination With Azacitidine in Patients With Hematological Malignancies

  open to eligible people ages 18 years and up

  This trial will evaluate magrolimab, a monoclonal antibody which is designed to block a protein called CD47, which is widely expressed on human cancer cells. Blocking CD47 with magrolimab may enable the body's immune system to find and destroy the cancer cells. In this study, magrolimab may be given alone or in combination with azacitidine to patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) or higher risk myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS). Azacitidine is a drug used for treatment of AML or MDS in patients who are not eligible for typical chemotherapy. The major aims of the study are: to confirm the safety and tolerability of magrolimab monotherapy in a relapsed/refractory AML and MDS population, and of magrolimab in combination with azacitidine in previously untreated AML and MDS; to evaluate the efficacy of magrolimab monotherapy in relapsed/refractory AML/MDS, and of magrolimab in combination with azacitidine in previously untreated AML/MDS, as measured by the objective response rate; and to evaluate the safety, tolerability, and efficacy of magrolimab monotherapy or combination with azacitidine in low-risk MDS patients as measured by RBC transfusion independence rate.

• Ibrutinib and Azacitidine for Treatment of Higher Risk Myelodysplastic Syndrome

  Sorry, in progress, not accepting new patients

  This phase Ib trial studies the side effects and best dose of ibrutinib when given together with azacitidine in treating patients with myelodysplastic syndrome that is likely to occur or spread (higher risk) and who were previously treated or untreated and unfit for or refused intense therapy. Ibrutinib and azacitidine may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth.
