Myelodysplastic Syndromes (Myelodysplastic Syndrome)

Clonal hematopoietic stem cell disorders characterized by dysplasia in one or more hematopoietic cell lineages. They predominantly affect patients over 60, are considered preleukemic conditions, and have high probability of transformation into ACUTE MYELOID LEUKEMIA.
Also Known As:
Myelodysplastic Syndrome; Hematopoetic Myelodysplasia; Dysmyelopoietic Syndrome; Hematopoetic Myelodysplasias; Myelodysplasia, Hematopoetic; Myelodysplasias, Hematopoetic; Syndrome, Dysmyelopoietic; Syndrome, Myelodysplastic; Syndromes, Dysmyelopoietic; Syndromes, Myelodysplastic; Dysmyelopoietic Syndromes

Drugs and Biologics

Drugs and Important Biological Agents (IBA) related to Myelodysplastic Syndromes:
1. Azacitidine (5 Azacytidine)FDA Link
01/01/2018 - "In this prospective trial, the efficacy of azacitidine in lower-risk myelodysplastic syndromes (LR-SMD) lacking del(5q) was compared to best supportive care (BSC) at 1:1. The primary endpoint was the achievement of erythroid hematologic improvement (HI-E) after nine cycles. "
11/01/2010 - "The earliest and the most successful epigenetic drug to date, 5-Azacytidine, is currently recommended as the first-line treatment of high-risk myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS). "
07/01/2013 - "These results demonstrate azacitidine benefit on overall survival compared with conventional care regimens in patients with higher-risk myelodysplastic syndromes who achieve hematologic response but never attain complete or partial remission, in addition to the survival advantage conferred by achievement of complete or partial remission."
01/01/2013 - "Around 6 weeks after this single azacitidine cycle, complete remission-according to international working group criteria-was observed with continuous improvement in peripheral blood counts to normal values, transfusion-independence, normal blast count (< 5 %) with normal morphology and flow cytometry, as well as a normal bone marrow karyotype and no dysplastic stigmata suggestive of a coexisting myelodysplastic syndrome. "
11/01/2010 - "Azacitidine is currently the only drug to have shown a significant survival benefit over conventional care regimens in patients with International Prognostic Scoring System (IPSS) intermediate-2 (Int-2) and high-risk myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS), establishing it as an important new treatment for these individuals.
