Summary

The purpose of this study is to find out if treating people who have high-risk myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) with 5-Azacitidine (Vidaza) prior to their allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplant (HCT) is helpful in preventing their myelodysplastic syndrome from coming back. In previous research, 5-Azacitidine appeared to help the bone marrow of a patient with MDS begin to function more normally. This means bone marrow cells can grow and do their work the way they were meant to. 5-Azacitidine is approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for the treatment of MDS. The effect of 5-Azacitidine in patients receiving hematopoietic cell transplants have not been studied.

Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion Criteria

  • Potential candidate for HCT.
  • Histologically confirmed diagnosis by pathologic review of previous diagnosis of high-risk myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS): International Prognostic Scoring System (IPSS) > 1 or AML-MDS or treatment related MDS.
  • Serum bilirubin levels ≤1.5 times the upper limit of the normal (ULN) range for the laboratory. Higher levels are acceptable if these can be attributed to active hemolysis or ineffective erythropoiesis; Serum glutamic-oxaloacetic transaminase (SGOT) [aspartate aminotransferase (AST)] or serum glutamic pyruvic transaminase (SGPT) [alanine aminotransferase (ALT)] levels ≤2 x ULN.
  • Serum creatinine levels ≤1.5 x ULN
  • Karnofsky performance status greater or equal to 70%
  • Signed informed consent form in accordance with institutional policies

Exclusion Criteria

  • Known or suspected hypersensitivity to Vidaza or mannitol
  • Pregnant or lactating women
  • Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) or seropositive, confirmed by nucleic acid amplification testing (NAT)
  • Active central nervous system (CNS) malignancy
  • Active infection
  • History or presence of primary hepatoma
