Chidamide Monotherapy for Intermediate-to-High-Risk Myelodysplastic Syndromes
Sponsor: Zhongshan Hospital (Xiamen), Fudan University
Summary
Myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) are a group of bone marrow disorders that can cause low blood cell counts and may progress to acute leukemia. Treatment options for patients with intermediate-to-high-risk MDS are limited, especially for older patients or those who are not suitable for intensive chemotherapy or hypomethylating agents. Chidamide is an oral histone deacetylase inhibitor that has shown antitumor activity in several hematologic malignancies. This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of chidamide used alone in patients with intermediate-to-high-risk MDS. This is a prospective, single-arm, open-label phase II study conducted at a single center. Eligible participants will receive oral chidamide twice weekly and will be followed for treatment response and side effects. The results of this study may help determine whether chidamide could be a potential treatment option for patients with intermediate-to-high-risk MDS who have limited therapeutic choices.

Chidamide
Chidamide will be administered orally at an initial dose of 20 mg twice weekly. Each dose consists of four 5-mg tablets taken approximately 30 minutes after meals. Treatment may continue for up to 3 months, with a planned follow-up period of 6 months. Dose modifications are permitted based on hematologic and non-hematologic toxicities. In the event of grade 3 or higher hematologic toxicity or clinically significant non-hematologic toxicity, chidamide will be temporarily withheld and may be resumed at a reduced dose after recovery, according to the investigator's judgment. Treatment will be discontinued if unacceptable toxicity persists despite dose interruption or dose reduction.
