Spots Global Cancer Trial Database for Pilot Lenalidomide in Adult Diamond-Blackfan Anemia Patients w/ RBC Transfusion-Dependent Anemia

Study Description

Brief Summary: This is a single-center, single arm, open-label study of oral lenalidomide monotherapy administered to red blood cell (RBC) transfusion dependent adult subjects with Diamond-Blackfan Anemia (DBA). Primary Objective: To evaluate the erythroid response rate as measured by rate of red blood cell transfusion independence \[MDS International Working Group (IWG) 2000 Criteria will be applied\]. Secondary Objective: 1)To evaluate the tolerability and safety profile of lenalidomide in patients with DBA and other inherited marrow failure syndromes 2) To correlate response to lenalidomide with biologic surrogates of DBA including ribosomal protein mutation status, ex vivo erythroid colony growth, and microarray gene expression

Detailed Description: This pilot study will utilize an intra-patient dose escalation design. Cycles are 28 days in length. Subjects will receive lenalidomide 2.5 mg weekly during days 1 to 21 of cycle 1 (dose level 1). If patients do not experience any grade \> 3 hematologic or non-hematologic toxicity, the dose will be increased to 2.5 mg twice weekly on days 1 to 21 of cycle 2 (dose level 2). If patients do not experience any grade \> 3 hematologic or non-hematologic toxicity, the dose will be increased to 5 mg twice weekly on days 1 to 21 of cycle 3 (dose level 3). If patients do not experience any grade \>3 hematologic or non-hematologic toxicity, the dose will be increased to 5 mg thrice weekly on days 1 to 21 of cycle 4 (dose level 4). Patients who experience grade \>3 hematologic or non-hematologic toxicity at dose level 1 will be discontinued from study. Patients who experience grade \> 3 hematologic or non-hematologic toxicity at dose level 2, 3, or 4 will have the lenalidomide held and dose reduced according to protocol dose interruption/modification algorithms (section 5.5.3). If at least a minor erythroid response is not achieved at the end of 8 cycles of treatment, patients will be discontinued from study. If a minor or major erythroid response is achieved after completion of 8 cycles of treatment, patients can continue study drug on a maintenance phase until loss of erythroid response (return to baseline hemoglobin or transfusion requirement) or unacceptable toxicity.
