About this study

On September 11, 2013, randomization into the continuous 50 mg lenalidomide only arm was temporarily suspended based on review of the data from the first 13 participants and a high rate of discontinuation (11/13 participants). The Data Monitoring Committee assessed the study data on September 20, 2013 and reported no safety concerns. The high rate of early discontinuation is inconsistent with the treatment duration required for testing the study primary endpoint of survival at one year. Consequently, Celgene has decided not to reopen the lenalidomide only arm.

Best Supportive Care (BSC)

Other

Primary outcomes

  1. Kaplan Meier Estimates for One Year Survival

    Time frame: Up to 24 months

    One-year survival rate was defined as all deaths within one year from the date of randomization. All others censored at the at year 1 or date of discontinuation

  2. Overall Survival

    Time frame: From date of randomization until the date of the first documented date of progression or date of death of any cause; the overall median follow-up for survivng participants was 4.1 months (range 0.2 to 54.8 months)

    Overall Survival reported at the end of the study are for those participants who were alive at the end of the study

Secondary outcomes

  1. Percentage of Participants With a Complete Response or Morphologic Incomplete Response.

    Time frame: Complete Response or Morphologic Incomplete Response data not analyzed.

    Based on IWG response criteria for AML. Complete remission (CR), morphologic complete remission (CR) was defined as < 5% bone marrow blasts, an absolute neutrophil count ≥ 1 x 10^9/L, platelets ≥100 x 10^9/L, and transfusion independence (no transfusions for 1 week prior to each assessment). No duration of these findings is required for confirmation of this response.

    Morphologic CR with incomplete blood count recovery (CRi) was defined as a morphologic complete remission but the ANC count may be <1 x 10^9/L and/or the platelet count may be <100 x 10^9/L. Because of a high rate of discontinuation in one of the investigational cohorts, secondary endpoints were not analyzed.

  2. Duration of Remission (DoR)

    Time frame: Duration of Remission (DoR) time frame not analyzed.

    Duration of remission was defined as the time from the date of CR or CRi until relapse. Because of a high rate of discontinuation in one of the investigational cohorts, secondary endpoints were not analyzed.

  3. Cytogenetic Complete Remission Rate (CRc)

    Time frame: Cytogenetic Complete Remission timeframe was not analyzed.

    The CRc response category is comprised of the subset of participants who had abnormal cytogenetics at baseline and subsequently achieved CR during treatment in conjunction with a reversion to a normal karyotype. For the primary definition of CRc, a normal karyotype is defined as no clonal abnormalities after review of at least 10 metaphases using conventional cytogenetic techniques. Cytogenetic complete remission rate (CRc) 1) CR criteria met AND 2) Abnormal karyotype present at baseline AND 3) Reversion to normal karyotype at time of CR (based on ≥ 10 metaphases), where date of cytogenetic sample = date of BM sample used for the CR assessment. Because of a high rate of discontinuation in one of the investigational cohorts, secondary endpoints were not analyzed.

  4. Percentage of Participants With an Overall Response Rate (CR +CRi+ PR)

    Time frame: Overall response rate time frame was not analyzed.

    Morphologic complete remission (CR) is defined as a leukemia-free state defined as less than 5% blasts in a one marrow aspirate with spicules and with at least 200 nucleated cells (there should be no blasts with auer rods) and ANC of ≥ 1 x 10^9/L, a platelet count ≥ 100 x 10^9/L, no transfusions for 1 week prior to each assessment. No duration of these findings is required for confirmation of this response. Morphologic complete remission with incomplete blood count recovery was defined as a morphologic complete remission but the ANC may be < 1 x 10^9/L and/or the platelet count may be < 100 x 10^9/L. Partial remission was defined as an ANC > 1 x 10^9/L and platelet count ≥ 100 x 10^9/L with a > 50% decrease in the percentage of bone marrow blasts to 5% to 25% (a blast count value of ≤ 5% may also be considered a partial remission if auer rods are present). Because of a high rate of discontinuation in one of the investigational cohorts, secondary endpoints were not analyzed.

  5. Progression-Free Survival (PFS)

    Time frame: Progression-Free survival data and time frame was not analyzed.

    PFS is defined as the time from randomization to the first observation of documented disease progression or death from any cause whichever occurred first. Because of a high rate of discontinuation in one of the investigational cohorts, secondary endpoints were not analyzed.

  6. Event-Free Survival (EFS)

    Time frame: Event-Free survival time was not analyzed.

    EFS was defined as the interval from the date of randomization to the date of treatment failure, progressive disease, relapse after CR or CRi, or death from any cause, whichever occurred first. Because of a high rate of discontinuation in one of the investigational cohorts, secondary endpoints were not analyzed.

  7. Relapse-Free Survival (RFS)

    Time frame: Relapse-Free survival time frame was not analyzed.

    RFS is defined only for subjects that achieve CR and CRi and is measured as the interval from that date to the date of disease relapse, death from any cause, whichever occurs first, censoring at the last visit date for subjects alive in continuous CR/CRi. Because of a high rate of discontinuation in one of the investigational cohorts, secondary endpoints were not analyzed.

  8. Percentage of Participants With 30-Day Treatment-Related Mortality

    Time frame: 30 days

    30-day mortality rate was defined as death from any cause within 30 days after first dose.

  9. Number of Participants With Treatment Emergent Adverse Events (TEAE)

    Time frame: From the first dose of study drug up to 28 days after the last dose of study drug; up to 15 May 2018

    TEAEs were defined as those events that started on or after the first day of study drug up until 28 days after the last dose of study drug; Serious AE (SAE) = any AE which results in death; is life-threatening; requires inpatient hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization; results in persistent or significant disability; is a congenital anomaly/birth defect; constitutes an important medical event. Severity of AEs were graded based upon the participants symptoms according to the Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE, Version 4.0); and according to the scale: Grade (Gr) 1 = Mild - transient or mild discomfort; no medical intervention required; Grade 2 = Moderate - mild to moderate limitation in activity; Grade 3 = Severe; Grade 4 = Life threatening; Grade 5 = Death

  10. Number of Participants With a Second Primary Malignancy

    Time frame: From randomization of the last participant up to a minimum of 4 years following discontinuation

    Second primary malignancies were monitored as events of interest and reported as serious adverse events regardless of the treatment arm the participant was enrolled in.

Other outcomes

  1. Percentage of Participants Alive at One Year

    Time frame: Up to 12 months

    Defined as the percentage of participants who survived at one year
