Purpose In a phase III randomized trial, azacitidine significantly prolonged overall survival
(OS) compared with conventional care regimens (CCRs) in patients with intermediate-2–and
high-risk myelodysplastic syndromes. Approximately one third of these patients were
classified as having acute myeloid leukemia (AML) under current WHO criteria. This analysis
compared the effects of azacitidine versus CCR on OS in this subgroup.
