AI summary: who the study is looking for
From the trial's eligibility criteria. Machine-read from the registry text on this page, so it can be wrong. The registry text below and the trial team decide who can take part.
The trial is looking for adults aged 18 to 80 with higher-risk MDS/MPN (such as CMML) who cannot have a stem cell transplant but can have azacitidine.
- Age
- 18 to 80 years
- Sex
- All sexes can join.
- Disease stage
- Higher-risk MDS/MPN. For CMML: CPSS-MOL inter-2 or high risk, or MMM inter-2 or high risk. For other MDS/MPN (aCML, MDS/MPN-U): bone marrow blasts of 5% or more. Neutrophils at least 2x109/L and platelets at least 25x109/L.
- Earlier treatment
- People who cannot have a stem cell transplant (HSCT) under local standards, and who can have azacitidine (AZA) under local standards.
Main reasons for not taking part
- BCR-ABL positive CML, or ET, PV or PMF
- Low risk or inter-1 risk CMML, or other MDS/MPN with blasts under 5%
- Secondary acute leukemia, myeloid sarcoma, or blast phase of aCML
- Pregnant or breastfeeding women
- Active hepatitis B, hepatitis C, AIDS or syphilis
