A Multi-Site Break Through Cancer Pilot Study Testing the Feasibility and Safety of Therapeutic Intervention for Patients With High-risk Clonal Cytopenia of Undetermined Significance (CCUS)
Lachelle D. Weeks, MD, PhD
Summary
This research is being done to find out more about the potential risks and benefits of early treatment in participants with high risk Clonal Cytopenia of Unknown Significance (CCUS). This study will give eligible CCUS participants the option of either being observed or taking an oral drug as treatment. The names of the study drug involved in this study is: -Decitabine/cedazuridine (DEC/CED) (a nucleoside metabolic inhibitor and cytidine deaminase inhibitor).
Description
This is an open-label, multicenter pilot study testing the feasibility and safety of early pharmacologic intervention, decitabine/cedazuridine, in participants with higher-risk clonal cytopenia of unknown significance (CCUS). The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has not approved DEC/CED for CCUS but it has been approved for other uses. The research study procedures include screening for eligibility, in-clinic treatment visits, electrocardiograms, echocardiograms, bone marrow biopsies, and blood tests. Participants who choose to enroll in the intervention cohort will receive the oral…
