Measure
Azacitidine Plus Lenalidomide
Patients will receive a single dose of azacitidine 75mg/m2 SC/IV on d 1 to 7, followed by lenalidomide 50mg PO daily on d 8 to 28 of a 42-day cycle. Azacitidine is a chemical analogue of the cytosine nucleoside used in DNA and RNA. Azacitidine is thought to induce antineoplastic activity via two mechanisms; inhibition of DNA methyltransferase at low doses, causing hypomethylation of DNA, and direct cytotoxicity in abnormal hematopoietic cells in the bone marrow through its incorporation into DNA and RNA at high doses, resulting in cell death Lenalidomide: Lenalidomide has been used to successfully treat both inflammatory disorders and cancers. In vitro, lenalidomide has three main activities: direct anti-tumor effect, inhibition of angiogenesis, and immunomodulatory role. In vivo, lenalidomide induces tumor cell apoptosis directly and indirectly by inhibition of bone marrow stromal cell support, by anti-angiogenic and anti-osteoclastogenic effects, and by immunomodulatory
