5-azacytidine Treatment Versus 5-azacytidine Followed by Allogeneic Stem Cell Transplantation in Elderly Patients With Myelodysplastic Syndrome (MDS)

Brief Summary
5-azacytidine treatment prolongs survival in patients with myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS), but does not cure the disease. Allogeneic stem cell transplantation is a curative treatment option but is associated with a high risk treatment-related morbidity and mortality. In the current trial allogeneic stem cell transplantation will be compared to 5-azacytidine only treatment according to donor availability in elderly patients with MDS (55-70 years).

- Sufficient cardiac function (ejection fraction \> 30 %)
You may not qualify if:
- Blasts \> 30 % in bone marrow at time of diagnosis
- Central nervous involvement
- Severe irreversible renal, hepatic, pulmonary or cardiac disease, such as
- Total bilirubin, SGPT or SGOT ≥ 3 times upper the normal level
- Left ventricular ejection fraction \< 30 %
- Creatinine clearance \< 30 ml/min
- DLCO \< 35 % and/or receiving supplementary continuous oxygen
- Pregnant or breastfeeding female subject
- Patients with a life-expectancy of less than six months because of another debilitating disease
- Serious psychiatric or psychological disorders
- Uncontrolled invasive fungal infection at time of registration
- Known positive for HIV or acute infectious hepatitis, type A, B or C
- Participation in another study with ongoing use of unlicensed investigational product from 28 days before study enrollment until the end of the study
