Purpose

Assessment of efficacy of azacitidine to prevent a relapse

Detailed Description

      Analysis of the effectiveness of azacitidine 6 months after start of therapy to prevent a
      hematological relapse in MDS or AML patients with significant residuals or an increase of
      minimal residual disease (MRD) which is defined as:

        -  decrease of CD34 donor chimerism (<80%) after allogeneic related or unrelated HSCT in
           CD34+ or CD117+ MDS or AML or

        -  increase in the AML-specific molecular markers in the quantitative PCR for t(6,9), NPM1+
           AML >1% (ratio to reference gene) after conventional chemotherapy or allogeneic HSCT or

        -  persistence of the (above) MRD level >1% after conventional chemotherapy or allogeneic
           HSCT

        -  tolerance of azacitidine

        -  quality of the response of the MRD (major vs. minor) and the relapse-free survival and
           overall survival 12, 24 and 30 months after starting treatment with azacitidine

        -  modulation of CD34+, NK- and T-cells of MDS and AML patients by azacitidine

        Inclusion Criteria:

        Screening:

          -  signed informed consent

          -  Age ≥18 years

          -  patients with MDS or AML after conventional chemotherapy or allogeneic HSCT and
             positive molecular marker such as t(6,9), NPM1 pos. or CD34+ or CD117+ in the case of
             an allogeneic HSCT

        Treatment:

          -  MDS or AML without haematological relapse (blasts <5% in the bone marrow), and

          -  decrease of CD34 donor chimerism (<80%) after allogeneic related or unrelated HSCT in
             CD34+ or CD117+ MDS or AML or

          -  increase in the AML-specific molecular marker in the quantitative PCR for t(6,9),
             NPM1+ AML >1% after conventional chemotherapy or allogeneic HSCT or

          -  persistence of the (above) MRD levels >1% (relative to the reference gene) after
             conventional chemotherapy or allogeneic HSCT
