| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Main Objective: The primary objective of the trial is to assess the activity of decitabine in the treatment of CMML. Activity will be evaluated as percentage of patients achieving complete or partial remission according to the International Working Group (IWG) response criteria in myelodysplasia13;Secondary Objective: Secondary objectives of the trial are to assess the activity of decitabine in the treatment of CMML in terms of: Overall survival Time to leukemic transformation Response duration in terms of time to relapse after CR, PR Time to disease progression Response less than CR and PR evaluated according to IWG criteria for defining a haematology improvement (HI) Transfusion needs Safety of the treatment Quality of life Haematological and extra-haematological toxicity Relationship between biological marker (molecular and cytogenetic data) and efficacy of decitabine (response to therapy, time to progression, disease free survival and overall survival).;Primary end point(s): Response rate (CR+PR) evaluated according to 2006 IWG response criteria in myelodysplasia | — |
