Summary

Azacitidine has proved prolonged overall survival in patients with high-risk MDS. Minor pilot studies have shown that treatment with Azacitidine can induce transfusion independency in previous transfusion dependent patients with low-risk MDS. This study will evaluate the effect of Azacitidine in transfusion dependent patients with low-risk MDS (IPSS low or int-1) or low risk CMML. Included patients should first have failed, or considered not being eligible to, treatment with EPO +/- G-CSF. Our hypothesis is that Azacitidine can lead to transfusion independency in this group of patients. Those patients who do not respond to treatment with Azacitidine alone, will be given treatment with the combination of Azacitidine and EPO where our hypothesis is that Azacitidine can restore sensitivity to EPO.

Conditions

Interventions

DRUG

Azacitidine

100 mg / m(2) subcutaneously day 1-5 every 4 weeks for 6 cycles. Another three cycles will be given together with epo for those not responding to the first 6 cycles of Azacitidine

DRUG

Erythropoetin

For those patients not responding to Azacitidine alone, the combination of Azacitidine and erythropoetin 60 000 U / week for 16 weeks will be given.
