Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Main Objective: To compare the overall survival at three years of patients who receive after 4 cycles of 5-azacytidine (Vidaza®) either allogeneic stem cell transplantation or continuous 5-azacytidine (Vidaza®) if no compatible donor is available.; Secondary Objective: Comparison of “overall survival” and “event-free survival” between treatment arm “Allogeneic stem cell transplantation after 5 azacytidine induction” and treatment arm “Continuous 5 azacytidine alone” over the whole study period. To assess the response rate, the event-free survival at three years, toxicity and treatment-related mortality, the impact of the comorbidity-index (HCT-CI) on outcome and the quality of life in both treatment arms. Further to analyse prognostic factors which influence survival in both arms. ;Primary end point(s): Overall survival at three years between both arms.;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: After three years | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: The endpoints will be evaluated on different timepoints, after 1, 2 and / or 3 years; Secondary end point(s): - Overall survival for all patients assigned to one of the two treatment arms as time to event endpoint. - Event-free survival for all patients assigned to one of the two treatment arms as time to event endpoint. - Comparison of response rate and duration according IWG response criteria in MDS between both treatment arms - The event-free survival will be assessed by three years - The evaluation of toxicity will be performed according to the reporting guidelines as per NCICTCAE - Overall survival and event-free survival adjusted by the comorbidity-index (HCT-CI) according Sorror - Comparison of treatment –related mortality at three years - Comparison of quality of life between both arms according to the life core questionnaire QLQ-C30 and the treatment specific high-dose chemotherapy module QLQ HD-C29 of the EORTC Quality of Life Group | — |
