Phase II Part 2 Expansion of Oral Rigosertib in Combination With Azacitidine

Study Overview
=================
Brief Summary
-----------------
This study, is a Phase I/II clinical trial in three parts: Phase I Dose Escalation, Phase II, Part 1 RPTD Cohort, and Phase II, Part 2 Expansion. The first two parts have been completed. The Phase II, Part 2 Expansion will assess if treatment with rigosertib in combination with azacitidine, has measurable effects in patients with myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS). Safety of patients is an objective throughout all parts of the study.

Detailed Description
-----------------
This will be a Phase I/II open-label, single-arm, dose-escalating, multicenter study, in three parts: Phase I Dose Escalation, Phase II, Part 1 RPTD Cohort, and Phase II, Part 2 Expansion, in which patients with myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS), acute myeloid leukemia (AML), or chronic myelomonocytic leukemia (CMML) will receive subcutaneous (SC) or intravenous (IV) azacitidine per approved label in combination with oral rigosertib. The first two parts of the study have been completed. The Phase II Part 2 Expansion will enroll up to 40 patients, randomized 1:1 into 2 cohorts of up to 20 patients each, to receive 1120 mg of rigosertib over 24 hours: either 560 mg in the morning and 560 mg in the afternoon, or 840 mg in the morning and 280 mg in the afternoon. The afternoon dose in both cohorts must be administered at 3 PM (±1 hr) at least 2 hr after lunch. In the Phase II, Part 2 Expansion patients with RAEB t/non-proliferative AML will be eligible, however patients with CMML will not.

Uncontrolled hypertension (defined as a systolic pressure ≥ 160 mmHg and/or a diastolic pressure ≥ 110 mmHg). New onset seizures (within 3 months prior to Screening) or poorly controlled seizures. Any other investigational agent or chemotherapy, radiotherapy, or immunotherapy administered within 4 weeks prior to Screening. Chronic use (˃ 2 weeks) of corticosteroids (˃ 10 mg/24 hr equivalent prednisone) within 4 weeks of Baseline/First Dose. Investigational therapy within 4 weeks of Screening. Psychiatric illness or social situation that would limit the patient's ability to tolerate and/or comply with study requirements. Patients with RAEB-t/non-proliferative AML (as defined by 20-30% BMBL, WBC ≤ 25,000 x 10^9/L and stable for at least 4 weeks without intervention) are not eligible to participate in the Phase II Part 1 RPTD component of the study and patients with CMML will not be eligible for Phase II Part 2 of the study.
