Measure
Treatment (Decitabine, Cytarabine)
Patients receive decitabine IV daily on days 1-10 and cytarabine IV QD on days 1-7. Treatment repeats every 28-35 days for 2 courses in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. After course 3, patients achieving remission will receive 1-2 more courses of therapy at the same dose. Patients in remission with significant side effects will receive decitabine and cytarabine at decreased doses. Patients not achieving remission will not receive any more treatment. 12 patients were consented and treated.
