Brief Summary

This is a Phase I/II, open-label, 2 arm study to evaluate the safety and clinical activity of GSK2879552 alone, or in combination with azacitidine in subjects with MDS. The study consisted of 2 parts. The objective of Part 1 is to determine the recommended phase 2 dose (RP2D) of GSK2879552 administered alone and in combination with azacitidine in adult subjects with high risk MDS previously treated with HMA. The objective of Part 2 is to evaluate clinical activity after treatment with GSK2879552, alone or in combination with azacitidine, in adult subjects with high risk MDS previously treated with HMA.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (23)

• Part 1: Number of Participants With Any Non-serious Adverse Event (Non-SAE), Serious AE (SAE), Dose Limiting Toxicities (DLT), Dose Reductions or Delays and Withdrawals Due to Toxicities

  An AE is any untoward medical occurrence in a clinical investigation participant, temporally associated with the use of a medicinal product, whether or not considered related to the medicinal product. Any untoward event resulting in death, life threatening, requires hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization, results in disability/incapacity, congenital anomaly/birth defect, any other situation according to medical or scientific judgment that may not be immediately life-threatening or result in death or hospitalization but may jeopardize the participant or may require medical or surgical intervention or event associated with liver injury and impaired liver function were categorized as SAE. An event was considered a DLT if it occurred within the first 28 days of treatment, and met the DLT criteria unless it could be clearly established that the event was unrelated to treatment.
