Clinical Trials

Clinical research is at the heart of all medical advances, identifying new ways to prevent, detect or treat disease. If you have a bone marrow failure disease, you may want to consider taking part in a clinical trial, also called a research study.

A Randomized, Double-blind, Placebo-controlled Phase 3 Study of SY-1425 Plus Azacitidine Versus Placebo Plus Azacitidine in Newly Diagnosed, RARA-positive Adult Patients With Higher-risk Myelodysplastic Syndrome

Status(es): Recruiting
Study Date(s): Monday, February 8, 2021 to Monday, July 10, 2023

This study compares the efficacy of SY-1425 in combination with azacitidine to azacitidine in combination with placebo in participants who are Retinoic Acid Receptor Alpha (RARA) positive, and newly diagnosed with higher-risk myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS), and who have not received treatment for this diagnosis. The primary goal of the study is to compare the complete remission rate between the two treatment arms. A subset of participants have MDS characterized by an overexpression of the RARA gene. A blood test will be used to identify participants with RARA-positive MDS. Assessment of the...

A Study to Evaluate Imetelstat (GRN163L) in Transfusion-Dependent Subjects with IPSS Low or Intermediate-1 Risk Myelodysplastic Syndrome (MDS) that is Relapsed/Refractory to Erythropoiesis-Stimulating Agent (ESA) Treatment

Status(es): Recruiting

Age Group: 18 years and older
IMerge is a two-part Phase 2/3 clinical trial of imetelstat in transfusion dependent patients with lower risk MDS who are relapsed after or refractory to erythroid stimulating agents (ESAs). The Phase 3 portion is planned to enroll approximately 170 patients in a randomized (2:1 ratio of imetelstat:placebo), double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trial to test the hypothesis that imetelstat improves the rate of red blood cell transfusion independence (TI). The trial is planned to be conducted at multiple medical centers globally, including North America, Europe, Middle East and Asia. The...

ALPHA Study: Danicopan as Add-on Therapy to a C5 Inhibitor in Paroxysmal Nocturnal Hemoglobinuria (PNH) Participants Who Have Clinically Evident Extravascular Hemolysis (EVH)

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of danicopan as add-on therapy to a complement component 5 (C5) inhibitor (eculizumab or ravulizumab) in participants with PNH who have clinically evident EVH. Participants will be assigned to different groups receiving danicopan on top of their C5 inhibitor (eculizumab or ramulizumab) or placebo (a sugar pill) in a ratio of 2:1 (which means that for every participant receiving placebo, two participants will receive danicopan ). At Week 12, participants who received placebo in the first 12 weeks will be switched to receive danicopan in...

APR-246 & Azacitidine for the Treatment of TP53 Mutant Myelodysplastic Syndromes (MDS)

Status(es): Active, not recruiting
Study Date(s): Friday, January 11, 2019 to Sunday, November 1, 2020
Disease(s): myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS)
Age Group: 18 years and older
A Phase III, multicenter, randomized study to compare the rate of complete response (CR) and duration of CR, in patients with TP53-mutated MDS who will receive APR-246 and azacitidine or azacitidine alone. The p53, or P53, protein is coded by the TP53 gene which is mutated in a portion of patients with MDS. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has granted Breakthrough Therapy Designation for APR-246 in combination with azacitidine for the treatment of myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) with a susceptible TP53 mutation.

Low Dose Danazol for the Treatment of Telomere Related Diseases

Status(es): Recruiting
Study Date(s): Thursday, March 1, 2018 to Monday, February 28, 2022
Disease(s): aplastic anemia
Age Group: 3 years and older
DNA is a structure in the body. It contains data about how the body develops and works. Telomeres are found on the end of chromosomes in DNA. Some people with short telomeres or other gene changes can develop diseases of the bone marrow, lung, and liver. Researchers at the National Institutes of Health (NIH) are studying if the medication danazol can be used to treat people with short telomere disease who also have bone marrow failure, liver, or lung disease.In recent studies, danazol, at high doses, showed a positive influence on telomere length. Additional research is needed to learn more...
