Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

RATIONALE: Paricalcitol is a form of vitamin D that may help myelodysplastic cells develop into normal bone marrow cells.

PURPOSE: Phase II trial to study the effectiveness of paricalcitol in treating patients who have myelodysplastic syndrome.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

OBJECTIVES:

* Determine the clinical effects of paricalcitol in patients with myelodysplastic syndromes.
* Determine whether this drug can improve RBC, WBC, or platelet counts in these patients.
* Determine whether this drug can decrease the risk of development of leukemia without causing undue toxicity in these patients.

OUTLINE: Patients receive oral paricalcitol daily for 4 months in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

Patients are followed at 1 month.

PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A total of 20 patients will be accrued for this study within 8 months.
