PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: Up to 21 Months

Population: All evaluable participants. Nine patients were not evaluable for response (withdrew consent or off study due to adverse event before first evaluation).

Best Response Categories: Marrow complete response (CR), Bone marrow: ≤ 5% myeloblasts and decrease by ≥ 50% over pretreatment; Hematological improvement (HI), Hgb increase by ≥ 1.5 g/dL, Absolute increase of ≥ 30 x 10\^9/L for patients starting with \> 20 x 10\^9/L, At least 100% increase and an absolute increase of \> 0.5 x 10\^9/L, as defined by the International Working Group (IWG) 2006 criteria.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Up to 21 Months

Population: All evaluable participants. Nine patients were not evaluable for response (withdrew consent or off study due to adverse event before first evaluation).

OS: The time from randomization until death from any cause. Kaplan-Meier estimates were used for secondary endpoint analysis.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Up to 21 Months

Population: All evaluable participants. Nine patients were not evaluable for response (withdrew consent or off study due to adverse event before first evaluation).

PFS: The time elapsed between treatment initiation and tumor progression or death from any cause. Kaplan-Meier estimates were used for secondary endpoint analysis. Disease Progression is defined using International Working Group (IWG) Response Criteria for MDS, as at least 50% decrement from maximum remission/response levels in granulocytes or platelets; reduction in hemoglobin (Hgb) concentration by ≥ 2 g/dL; transfusion dependence.
