Study Summary

This phase II trial is studying how well aflibercept works in treating patients with myelodysplastic syndromes. Aflibercept may be able to carry cancer-killing substances directly to myelodysplastic syndrome cells. It may also stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking blood flow to the cancer

Primary Outcome

Complete Response (CR): repeat bone marrow (BM) shows \<5% myeloblasts, and peripheral blood values lasting ≥ 2 months of hemoglobin (hgb) (\>110 g/L), neutrophils (≥1.0x10\^9/L), platelets (≥100x10\^9/L), blasts (0%) and no dysplasia. Partial Response (PR): same as CR for peripheral blood except BM shows blasts decrease by ≥ 50% but still \> 5% or a less advanced FAB classification from pretreatment. Hematological response=CR+PR.

Interventions

  • OTHER laboratory biomarker analysis
  • OTHER pharmacological study
  • BIOLOGICAL ziv-aflibercept
