Trial Information

A Phase II Study of AZD2171 in the Treatment of Patients With Acute Leukemia and Myelodysplastic Syndrome


PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:

I. Evaluate the objective response rate in patients with relapsed, refractory, or untreated
acute myeloid leukemia or high-risk myelodysplastic syndromes treated with AZD2171
(cediranib maleate).

SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:

I. Determine the toxicity of this drug in these patients. II. Determine the response
duration, event-free survival, and overall survival of patients treated with this drug.

III. Determine the hematological response rate in patients treated with this drug.

OUTLINE: This is a multicenter study. Patients are stratified according to disease (acute
myeloid leukemia vs myelodysplastic syndromes).

Patients receive oral cediranib maleate once daily (QD) on days 1-28. Treatment repeats
every 28 days for up to 26 courses in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable
toxicity. Patients undergo bone marrow biopsy at baseline and on day 28 for correlative
studies. Samples are analyzed for circulating endothelial cells, VEGF receptor expression,
and leukemic blasts via flow cytometry and microvessel density via histopathological
techniques.

After completion of study treatment, patients are followed up at 3 months and then every 6
months for up to 2 years.


Inclusion Criteria:

ormyelodysplastic syndromes meeting 1 of the following criteria:

- See Disease Characteristics

- More than 4 weeks since prior chemotherapy (6 weeks fornitrosoureas or mitomycin C),
radiotherapy, or major surgery and recovered

- Hydroxyurea allowed to control peripheral blast count> 20,000/mcL prior to study
entry and during the first 3 days of study therapy

- More than 4 weeks since prior and no concurrent growth factor or other cytokine
support

- At least 30 days since prior investigational agents or participation in
aninvestigational trial
