Clofarabine Plus Low-Dose Cytarabine for the Treatment of Patients With Higher-Risk Myelodysplastic Syndrome (MDS) Who Have Been Relapsing After, or Are Refractory to, Hypomethylator Therapy
In Brief
A Phase 2 clinical trial evaluating Clofarabine and Cytarabine for Leukemia and Myeloproliferative Diseases. Completed, enrolled 81 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
The goal of this clinical research study is to learn if clofarabine when given in combination with cytarabine can help to control myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) after the disease could not be controlled with standard therapy. The safety of this treatment will also be studied. Clofarabine is designed to interfere with the growth and development of cancer cells. Cytarabine is designed to insert itself into DNA (the genetic material of cells) of cancer cells and stop the DNA from repairing itself.
