Study Summary

This phase II trial studies how well canakinumab works for the treatment of low- or intermediate-risk myelodysplastic syndrome or chronic myelomonocytic leukemia. Canakinumab is a monoclonal antibody that may interfere with the ability of cancer cells to grow and spread.

Primary Outcome

Will be monitored simultaneously using the Bayesian approach of Thall, Simon, Estey. Will estimate the HI rate for canakinumab, along with the 95% credible intervals. The association between HI rate and patient's clinical characteristics will be examined by Wilcoxon's rank sum test or Fisher's exact test.
