What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Number of Participants In Best Hematological Response Categories as Determined by the Investigator Using International Working Group 2000 (IWG 2000) Criteria For Myelodysplastic Syndromes (MDS) During the Initial Study Period.
Participant counts by best hematological response; complete remission(CR) is better than a partial remission(PR) which is better than stable disease(SD).
Investigator determined responses followed IWG 2000 criteria for MDS CR: repeat bone marrow show <5% myeloblasts, and peripheral blood evaluations lasting >=2 months of hemoglobin(>110 g/L), neutrophils(>=1.5x10^9/L), platelets(>=100x10^9/L), blasts (0%) and no dysplasia PR is the same as CR for peripheral blood: bone marrow shows blasts decrease by >=50% or a less advanced FAB classification from pretreatment (see Population Descrip)
Measured: Day 1 (randomization) to 6 months
Number of Participants With Best Hematological Improvement Derived Using International Working Group 2000 (IWG 2000) Criteria for MDS During the Initial Study Period.
IWG 2000 Criteria: Pretreatment=hemoglobin <110g/L or RBC transfusion-dependence, platelet count <100x10^9/L or platelet transfusion dependence, absolute neutrophil count <1.5x10^9/L.
Erythroid response: Major->20g/L increase in hemoglobin or transfusion independence. Minor- 10-20g/L increase in hemoglobin or >=50% decrease in transfusion requirements.
Platelet response: Major-absolute increase of platelet count by >=30x10^9/L or platelet transfusion independence. Minor->=50% increase in platelet count with net increase >10x10^9/L but <30x10^9/L.
(continued in Population Description)
Measured: Day 1 (randomization) to 6 months
Number of Participants With Overall Best Hematologic Response and Hematologic Improvement Based on IWG 2000 Criteria For MDS During the Initial Study Period
Number of participants whose best hematological outcome was either complete remission (CR), partial remission (PR) (as determined by the investigator), or any hematologic improvement (based on the IWG 2000 criteria for MDS). See previous outcomes for detailed definitions.
Measured: Day 1 (randomization) to 6 months
Number of Participants Who Improved or Maintained The Hematologic Response From the Initial Study Period (Based on IWG 2000 Criteria For MDS) During the Maintenance Period
Hematologic response during the maintenance period are compared to the response in the initial study period. Initial response could have been a complete remission, a partial remission, stable disease or a hematologic improvement. Maintenance period best response is after randomization to a maintenance arm for those randomized, and is after the start of cycle 7 for those remaining on initial period treatment throughout the study.
Measured: 24 months

Change From Baseline in the Number of Infections Requiring Treatment With IV Antibiotics Per Treatment Cycle (28 Days) for the Initial Study Period
Baseline uses the average number of infections requiring IV antibiotic treatment from the 28 days prior to and including the day of first dose to an initial treatment arm. Initial study period values total the number of infections requiring IV antibiotic treatment divided by the number of treatment cycles (each cycle is approximately one month).
Measured: 6 months
Change From Baseline in the Number of Infections Requiring Treatment With IV Antibiotics Per Treatment Cycle (28 Days) for the Maintenance Study Period
Baseline uses the average number of infections requiring IV antibiotic treatment from the 28 days prior to and including the day of first dose to an initial treatment arm.

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A Phase 2 study testing azacitidine in people with Myelodysplastic Syndromes, run by Celgene at 31 sites in United States.
The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.
Who may be eligible to take part?
The sponsor lists 8 inclusion and 13 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.
Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?
The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 22 Nov 2019. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 31 sites in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.
What are the possible benefits and risks?
They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.
What does this phase mean?
Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.
Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.
Are results available for this study?
Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 28 May 2010). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.
How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?
The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
Number of Participants In Best Hematological Response Categories as Determined by the Investigator Using International Working Group 2000 (IWG 2000) Criteria For Myelodysplastic Syndromes (MDS) During the Initial Study Period. (time frame: Day 1 (randomization) to 6 months). The study lists 4 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
Where can I read the original study information?
On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT00102687, which also lists 3 linked publications.
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?
No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.
