Low-Dose 5-Aza-2′-Deoxycytidine, a DNA Hypomethylating Agent, for the Treatment of High-Risk Myelodysplastic Syndrome: A Multicenter Phase II Study in Elderly Patients

Abstract

We were able to confirm our previous observation that DAC therapy was effective in half of the studied patients with high-risk myelodysplastic syndrome and is especially active in the patients with the worst prognoses. Myelosuppression was the only major adverse effect observed.
