Myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) is a clonal disease of the bone marrow stem cells. The disease is frequent/asociated with cytopenia and/or blastosis. an evolution to an acute leukemia is not frequent (30%). Treatments are very disapointing especially for high risk MDS. The pronossis mainly depens on blastosis, cytopenia and cytogenetic abnormalities but the disease is typically uncurable ( expect BMT).

|---|---|
| Main Objective: Evaluate response to lenalidomide (according to IWG criteria) in adult MDS with deletion (del) 5q[31] cytogenetic abnormality and intermediate-2 or high-risk (International Prognostic Scoring System [IPSS]) MDS ;Secondary Objective: Evaluate duration of response, progression to AML, survival and safety of lenalidomide in subjects with intermediate-2-risk or high risk MDS associated with a del 5q [31].;Primary end point(s): Primary: i ncidence of significant hematological response, according to IWG criteria including CR, PR or, major HI, (HI-E, Hl-N,or Hl- P), and cytogenetic response. Secondary: Duration of responses ie :CR, PR, major HI, ( HI-E, HI-N,or HI-P),and cytogenetic response) from response achievement Time to progression to AML from inclusion Survival from inclusion Safety (type, frequency, and severity [National Cancer Institute (NCI) Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) version 3.0] of adverse events (AEs), and relationship of AEs to lenalidomide. | — |
