Study Description

Brief Summary: The goal of this clinical research study is to learn if the combination of azacitidine and GM-CSF can help to control MDS. The safety of these drugs will also be studied. Azacitidine is designed to block certain proteins that stop the function of tumor-fighting genes. By blocking the "bad" proteins, the tumor-fighting genes may be able to work better. Granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF) is designed to help produce white blood cells. This may help to fight infections.

Detailed Description: Study Drug Administration: If you are found to be eligible to take part in this study, on Days 1-4 of every cycle, you will receive azacitidine by vein over 15-30 minutes. You may receive drugs to help prevent nausea and vomiting before you receive your dose of azacitidine. On Days 5-7 of every cycle, you will receive GM-CSF by vein over about 15 minutes or by injection. Each study cycle will be about 4-6 weeks, depending on the study doctor's decision. Study Visits: One (1) time each week during every cycle, blood (about 2-3 teaspoons) will be drawn for routine tests. At any time, if your doctor thinks it is needed, you will have a bone marrow aspirate to check the status of the disease. Length of Study: You may continue taking the study drugs for as long as the doctor thinks it is in your best interest. You will no longer be able to take the study drugs if the disease gets worse, if intolerable side effects occur, or if you are unable to follow study directions. Your follow-up visits will be per standard of care for the disease. This is an investigational study. Both azacitidine and GM-CSF are FDA approved and commercially available for the treatment of MDS. The study drug combination to treat MDS is considered investigational. Up to 40 patients will take part in this study. All will be enrolled at MD Anderson.
