Study Endpoints

Primary Endpoints

Comparisons between the two treatment groups will be made for patients who have achieve a confirmed Complete Response (CR) or Partial Response (PR).
The purpose of this research study is to determine if tipifarnib leads to a complete response for in patients with high-risk Myelodysplastic Syndrome (MDS).
The primary objective is to determine relapse-free survival (RFS) at 1 year in patients, 60 years and older with AML, who receive tipifarnib treatment.

Secondary Endpoints

Effectiveness will be assessed by time to disease progression; time to treatment failure; duration of response; clinical benefit; duration of clinical benefit; survival time. The study will include evaluations of safety and tolerability.
Efficacy will be assessed by evaluation of bone marrow and hematologic laboratory tests. Safety will be assessed by evaluation of adverse events and clinical laboratory tests.
Secondary objectives, assess: overall survival; time to relapse; the safety profile of treatment with tipifarnib; the population pharmacokinetics of tipifarnib; DNA analysis of genetic variability; RNA analysis of differential gene expression.

Frequently asked questions about ZARNESTRA, tipifarnib, R115777

What is ZARNESTRA (tipifarnib) used for?

ZARNESTRA, also known as tipifarnib or R115777, is an investigational small molecule being studied for the treatment of breast cancer, myelodysplastic syndrome, and acute myeloid leukemia. It is in Phase 2 clinical development for these oncology indications.

What does ZARNESTRA (tipifarnib) target?

ZARNESTRA, also known as tipifarnib or R115777, is a small molecule that targets the enzyme farnesyltransferase. By inhibiting this enzyme, it interferes with the signaling pathways that cancer cells rely on for growth and survival.

Who makes ZARNESTRA (tipifarnib)?

ZARNESTRA, also known as tipifarnib or R115777, is being developed by Johnson & Johnson, a company traded on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker symbol JNJ.

What phase is ZARNESTRA (tipifarnib) in?

ZARNESTRA, also known as tipifarnib or R115777, is in Phase 2 clinical development. It is an investigational drug and has not been approved by the FDA for any use. Clinical trials for breast cancer, myelodysplastic syndrome, and acute myeloid leukemia have been completed.

What clinical trials is ZARNESTRA (tipifarnib) in?

ZARNESTRA, also known as tipifarnib or R115777, has been studied in three completed Phase 2 trials. These include NCT00048503 for acute myeloid leukemia, NCT00050141 for advanced breast cancer, and NCT00050154 for high-risk myelodysplastic syndrome. All trials are completed.

Is ZARNESTRA the same as tipifarnib or R115777?

Yes, ZARNESTRA is also known as tipifarnib and R115777. These names refer to the same investigational drug being developed by Johnson & Johnson for the treatment of certain cancers.
