Myelodysplastic Syndromes (MDS) Clinical Trials

For patients whose disease cannot be brought into remission the prognoses are worse primarily due to high rates of post-HSCT relapse. For patients who have poor donor options (i.e., lack an adequately matched allogeneic marrow donor), the prognoses are worse for a successful outcome due to higher rates of treatment ...

The investigators are undertaking a single-center, single-arm study of 50 lower risk myelodysplastic syndrome patients with transfusion dependent from Shandong University Qilu Hospital . All the participants are selected to receive ultra small dose decitabine treatment (given intravenously at a dose of 3.5mg/m2, qd x 5d, every four weeks for ...

Study Groups: If the participant is found to be eligible to take part in this study and he/she is one of the first 30 participants enrolled, the participant will have an equal chance of being in one of 3 study groups. If the participant enrolls after the first 30 participants ...

MDS are a diverse group of hematopoietic malignancies, which mainly occur in patients over 75 years of age. Incidence rate in 2012 in France was more than 6 cases per 100 000 person-years. MDS are characterized by ineffective haematopoiesis causing cytopenia, and by leukemic transformation. The disease is heterogeneous, its ...

Conditioning regimen for lower risk diseases A) Cyclophosphamide 50 mg/kg/day i.v. daily for 2 days (days -6 and -5) B) Fludarabine 30 mg/m2/day i.v. daily for 5 days (days -6 to -2) Conditioning regimen for higher risk diseases A) Busulfan 3.2 mg/kg/day i.v. daily For 4 days (days -6 to ...

The purpose of this study is to provide an opportunity for patients with malignancies or bone marrow failure states who lack a suitable sibling donor to undergo allogeneic hematopoietic progenitor cell transplantation using cells from unrelated individuals or cord blood registries.

Allo-HSCT appears to be an efficient tool to cure patients with MDS and AML secondary to MDS. At present, the best conditioning regimen for MDS and AML secondary to MDS undergoing allo-HSCT remains in discussion. BUCY conditioning regimen is the standard myeloablative regimen for MDS and AML secondary to MDS ...

Myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) prevail in older age and are characterized by ineffective erythropoiesis and peripheral cytopenias. Supportive therapy is the main therapeutic option for most patients. Quality of Life (QoL) is mainly deteriorated by anemia and by the limitations associated with thrombocytopenia, neutropenia and transfusion dependence. The only available treatment ...

The purpose of this study is to evaluate of the clinical efficacy and safety of DLAAG protocol in the treatment of acute myeloid leukemia (AML) and myelodysplastic syndrome with blast excess

To develop a highly effective and safe protocol, a multi-center, prospective clinical trial was conducted in China, with aims to evaluate the grade III and IV hematologic toxicity and clinical efficacy of subcutaneous injection of ultra-low-dose decitabine (5 to 7 mg/m2) for treatment of myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS), while decitabine at ...
