    Study Title:

    A Randomized, Double-blind, Placebo-controlled Phase 3 Study of Tamibarotene Plus Azacitidine Versus Placebo Plus Azacitidine in Newly Diagnosed Adult Patients Selected for RARA-positive Higher-risk Myelodysplastic Syndrome

    Summary:

    This study compares the efficacy of Tamibarotene in combination with azacitidine to azacitidine in combination with placebo in participants who are Retinoic Acid Receptor Alpha (RARA) positive, and newly diagnosed with higher-risk myelodysplastic syndrome (HR-MDS), and who have not received treatment for this diagnosis.

    Objective:

    Primary: Characterize and compare the CR rate of tamibarotene plus azacitidine vs. placebo plus azacitidine. Secondary: Characterize and compare the TI rate of tamibarotene plus azacitidine vs. placebo plus azacitidine. Characterize and compare the ORR of tamibarotene plus azacitidine vs. placebo plus azacitidine. Characterize the DOCR and duration of overall response of tamibarotene plus azacitidine or placebo plus azacitidine. Characterize the time to CR and time to initial response of tamibarotene plus azacitidine vs. placebo plus azacitidine. Characterize and compare the EFS of tamibarotene plus azacitidine vs. placebo plus azacitidine. Compare changes in HRQOL of tamibarotene plus azacitidine vs. placebo plus azacitidine. Characterize the safety of tamibarotene plus azacitidine vs. placebo plus azacitidine.
