Inclusion criteria
Inclusion criteria: • MDS defined according to WHO classification (also including RAEB-T according to FAB classification)(see appendix 1) with an intermediate-2 or high risk MDS IPSS score (see appendix 1). • Age = 18 years and 3.0 x upper limit of normal (ULN). • Serum total bilirubin > 1.5 mg/dL. (except for unconjugated hyperbilirubinemia due to Gilbert’s disease or secondary to MDS-related dyserythropoiesis). • Health insurance. Are the trial subjects under 18? no Number of subjects for this age range: F.1.2 Adults (18-64 years) yes F.1.2.1 Number of subjects for this age range F.1.3 Elderly (>=65 years) yes F.1.3.1 Number of subjects for this age range
Exclusion criteria
Exclusion criteria: Known positive status for human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) or hepatitis B or C • Pregnant and lactating patients are excluded because the effects of azacitidine on a foetus or breast-fed child are unknown • Uncontrolled intercurrent illness including, but not limited to uncontrolled infection, symptomatic congestive heart failure (NYHA > II), cardiac arrhythmia, or psychiatric illness/social situations that would limit compliance with study requirements. • Patients receiving any other standard or investigational cytotoxic treatment for their hematologic malignancy in the last 8 weeks. • Any medical condition which in the opinion of the investigator places the patient at an unacceptably high risk for toxicities of an intensified regimen of azacitidine. • Less than 6 months since prior allogeneic stem cell transplantation. • Less than 3 months since prior autologous stem cell transplantation. • Prior history of malignancy other than MDS (except basal cell or squamous cell carcinoma or carcinoma in situ of the cervix or breast) unless the subject has been free of disease for = 3 years. • Prior treatment with azacitidine. • Known allergy/intolerance to azacitidine or mannitol. • ECOG > 2. • Life expectancy less than 3 months.
