Summary

The goal of this clinical research study is learn if omacetaxine can help to control myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS). The safety of this drug will also be studied. This is an investigational study. Omacetaxine is FDA approved and commercially available for the treatment of chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML). It is investigational to use omacetaxine in patients with MDS. The study doctor can explain how the study drug is designed to work. Up to 80 participants will be enrolled in this study. All will take part at MD Anderson.

  • MDS classified as follows: RAEB-1 (5%-9% BM blasts); RAEB-2 (10%-19% BM Blasts); CMML (5%-19% BM blasts); RAEB-t (20%-29% BM blasts) AND/OR by IPSS: intermediate-1 and high risk patients.
  • No response, progression, or relapse (according to 2006 IWG criteria) following at least 4 cycles of either azacitidine or decitabine, which were completed within the last 2 years - AND/OR - intolerance to azacitidine or decitabine defined as drug-related >/= grade 3 hepatic or renal toxicity leading to treatment discontinuation during the preceding 2 years.
