  • Compared with 5-Day Cycle of Azacitidine in Patients with Higher-Risk Myelodysplastic Syndrome
    Original Study Higher Infection Rate After 7- Compared With 5-Day Cycle of Azacitidine in Patients With Higher-Risk Myelodysplastic Syndrome Yishai Ofran,1,2 Kalman Filanovsky,3 Anat Gafter-Gvili,4 Liat Vidal,4 Ariel Aviv,5 Moshe E. Gatt,6 Itay Silbershatz,7 Yair Herishanu,8 Ariela Arad,9 Tamar Tadmor,2,10 Najib Dally,11 Anatoly Nemets,12 Ory Rouvio,13 Aharon Ronson,14 Katrin Herzog-Tzarfati,15 Luiza Akria,16 Andrei Braester,16 Ilana Hellmann,17 Shay Yeganeh,18 Arnon Nagler,19 Ronit Leiba,20 Moshe Mittelman,21 Drorit Merkel19 Abstract Azacitidine (AZA) dose reduction is a common practice in cytopenic patients. We herein report on a correlation between AZA dose and infection complications in high-risk myelodysplastic syndrome and leukemia patients. Infectious events were more frequent after doses of 75 mg/m2 for 7 days than 75 mg/m2 for 5 days, regardless of the patient’s age. Reduction of AZA dose should therefore be considered in patients with high infection risk. Introduction: Azacitidine (AZA) dose reduction is a common practice in cytopenic patients. However, a correlation between AZA dose and infection complications has never been studied. Patients and Methods: Higher-risk patients with myelodysplastic syndrome or acute myeloid leukemia treated with AZA in 18 Israeli hospitals between the years 2008 and 2011 were included in a former national survey. To reveal the effect of AZA dosage on infection risk we limited our analysis to the infection rate after the first AZA dose alone. We excluded subsequent cycles of AZA from the analysis, because infectious events during these cycles might be related to other cofactors such as disease response to AZA therapy.
