Myelodysplastic Syndrome Clinical Trial
Official title:
A Phase 2, Double-blind, Randomized Study to Compare the Effect of Curcumin Versus Placebo on Inflammatory Cytokines, Symptoms and Disease Parameters in Clonal Cytopenia of Undetermined Significance (CCUS), Low-Risk Myelodysplastic Syndrome (LR-MDS), and Myeloproliferative Neoplasms (MPNs)
This phase II trial evaluates how a curcumin supplement (C3 complex/Bioperine) changes the inflammatory response and symptomatology in patients with clonal cytopenia of undetermined significance (CCUS), low risk myelodysplastic syndrome (LR-MDS), and myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPN). Chronic inflammation drives disease development and contributes to symptoms experienced by patients with CCUS, LR-MDS, and MPN. Curcumin has been shown to have anti-inflammatory and anti-cancer properties and has been studied in various chronic illnesses and hematologic diseases.

Primary | Mean change in peripheral blood levels of inflammatory cytokines | Interleukin (IL) 1beta, IL-6, IL-18, transforming growth factor-beta, and tumor necrosis factor-alpha will be assessed. Mean inflammatory cytokine changes in the treatment group will be compared to that of the control group. A two-sided two-sample unequal-variance t-test will be applied to compare the difference of the mean of changes at 12-months from the baseline measurement between the two arms, respectively. P-values from the test and the 95% confidence interval of the estimated difference will be reported for each of the inflammatory cytokines. | At baseline, 3 months, and 12 months | |
Primary | Mean change in symptom scores for clonal cytopenia of undetermined significance and low risk myelodysplastic syndrome patients | Symptoms scores will be assessed using the European Organization for the Research and Treatment of Cancer Quality of Life Questionnaire Core 30 version 3 (EORTC-QLQ-C30 version 3).This is a validated tool for assessing health-related quality of life in cancer patients. The questionnaire is composed of both multi-item scales and single-item measures. These include five functional scales, three symptom scales, a global health status / QoL scale, and six single items. Each of the multi-item scales includes a different set of items - no item occurs in more than one scale. Scores range from 0 to 100. A high scale score represents a higher response level. A high score for a functional scale represents a high/healthy level of functioning. A high score for the global health status/ QoL represents a high QoL and a high score for a symptom scale/item represents a high level of symptomatology/problems.(no symptom) to 10 (worst possible symptom). | At baseline, 3 months, 12 months | |
Primary | Mean change in symptom scores for myeloproliferative neoplasm (MPN) patients | MPN-related symptoms will be assessed using the Myeloproliferative Neoplasm Symptom Assessment Form Total Symptom Score. Possible scores range from 0 (no symptom) to 10 (worst possible symptom). | At baseline, 3 months, 12 months | |
Secondary | Change in the variant allele frequency of mutated clones | Both parametric methods i.e., the two-sample t-test and the non-parametric Wilcoxon rank sum test (with no assumption on the distribution of the data) will be applied. | After 12 months of treatment | |
Secondary | Change in the deoxyribonucleic acid methylation pattern | Both parametric methods i.e., the two-sample t-test and the non-parametric Wilcoxon rank sum test (with no assumption on the distribution of the data) will be applied. | After 12 months of treatment | |
Secondary | Change in peripheral blood cell counts | Peripheral blood cell counts will include absolute neutrophil count, hemoglobin, and platelets. Change in peripheral blood cell counts will be compared to pretreatment. Both parametric methods i.e., the two-sample t-test and the non-parametric Wilcoxon rank sum test (with no assumption on the distribution of the data) will be applied. | After 12 months of treatment | |
Secondary | Safety of curcumin in patients with CCUS/LR-MDS and symptomatic MPN | Will be assessed and graded according to the National Cancer Institute Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (NCI CTCAE), Version 5.0. | Every 2 weeks for the first month of treatment, every month for the following 2 months, then every 3 months for a total of 12 months. | |
Secondary | Change in the rate of transfusion requirement measured | Will be measured by the number of units required per 8-week period. Both parametric methods i.e., the two-sample t-test and the non-parametric Wilcoxon rank sum test (with no assumption on the distribution of the data) will be applied. | Up to 10 years |
