FGCL-4592-082 (primary)
NCI-2017-02071
Summary
The purpose of this study is to determine whether FG-4592 is safe and effective in the
treatment of anemia in patients with Lower Risk Myelodysplastic Syndrome and Low Red Blood
Cell Transfusion Burden.
Objectives
This study includes an Open-Label Lead in, a Double-Blind component and an Open-Label High
Erythropoietin component. In each, there is an up to 42 days screen period followed by a
treatment period of 52 weeks and a 4 week end of treatment assessment.
Eligibility
- Diagnosis of primary MDS classified as very low, low or intermediate risk with <5% blasts. There is no minimum time from diagnosis except to allow for proper IPSS-R classification to be made, and to show transfusion dependence.
- RBC transfusion of either 2-4 pRBC units over the 8 weeks prior to randomization or 1 pRBC in two consecutive periods of 8 weeks within the 16 weeks prior to randomization
- No restriction on prior use of ESAs, except no ESA use within 8 weeks prior to registration/randomization
- Pre-transfusion hemoglobin of <= 10 g/dL,
- ECOG of 0-2 at screen
- History of cured malignancy with no evidence of recurrence for a least 3 years are eligible

**Clinical trials are research studies that involve people. These studies test new ways to prevent, detect, diagnose, or treat diseases. People who take part in cancer clinical trials have an opportunity to contribute to scientists’ knowledge about cancer and to help in the development of improved cancer treatments. They also receive state-of-the-art care from cancer experts...
