Zusammenfassung der Studie

This international study investigates whether the investigational drug MBG453 in combination with Azacitidine is safe and provides greater benefit for patients with myelodysplastic syndrome at intermediate, high, or very high risk or with chronic myelomonocytic leukemia-2 compared to treatment with Azacitidine alone. Approximately 500 patients worldwide (2 in Switzerland) will participate in this study and will be divided into two groups, receiving either Azacitidine + MBG453 or Azacitidine + placebo. It will be randomly determined whether you receive MBG453 or placebo. Azacitidine is the currently approved treatment for your condition. MBG453 is an investigational drug that has not yet been approved for use in any country. MBG453 is currently being tested in this study and in other studies worldwide for the treatment of patients with different forms of blood cancer. MBG453 blocks a protein called TIM-3, which is found on blood cells called T-lymphocytes. By blocking TIM-3, MBG453 may enhance the activity of your T-lymphocytes to attack and destroy the cancer. Your participation in the study may last up to approximately 5 years, depending on the date you enter the study and how well you respond to the treatment. Your participation in the study includes regular hospital visits, physical examinations, questionnaires, and blood and bone marrow sample collection.

Untersuchte Intervention

Azacitidine is administered subcutaneously (under the skin) on the first seven consecutive days of each 28-day cycle (from day 1 to day 7) or from day 1 to day 5, followed by a two-day break, and then again on days 8 and 9 of each cycle subcutaneously. MBG453 or the placebo is administered intravenously (directly into a vein) on day 8 of each 28-day cycle.

Ein-/Ausschlusskriterien
Inclusion Criteria:

- Signed informed consent must be obtained prior to participation in the study

- Age = 18 years at the date of signing the informed consent form

- Morphologically confirmed diagnosis of myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) based on WHO
2016 classification (Arber et al 2016) by local investigator assessment with one of
the following Prognostic Risk Categories, based on the revised International
Prognostic Scoring System (IPSS-R):

- Very high (> 6 points)

- High (> 4.5 - = 6 points)

- Intermediate (> 3 - = 4.5 points) Or Morphologically confirmed diagnosis of
Chronic Myelomonocytic Leukemia -2 based on WHO 2016 classification (Arber et
al 2016, including persistent monocytosis) by local investigator assessment
with WBC < 13 x 109/L at time of initial diagnosis

- Indication for azacitidine treatment according to the investigator, based on local
standard medical practice and institutional guidelines for treatment decisions

- Not eligible at time of screening for intensive chemotherapy according to the
investigator, based on local standard medical practice and institutional guidelines
for treatment decisions, including assessment of individual clinical factors such as
age, comorbidities and performance status
