This is a prospective, two arm, double-blind, phase III clinical trial in adult patients with acute myeloid leukaemia (AML) and myelodysplasia (MDS) who have undergone an allogeneic stem cell transplant (allo-SCT) and are randomised to receive oral azacitidine or placebo upon engraftment for up to 12 months as maintenance therapy. Patients will be stratified by type of transplant (myeloablative/reduced intensity, age (<60/≥ 60 years) and donor type (sibling/unrelated)).
This study will evaluate a new maintenance therapy with the aim of improving the outcome of patients with acute myeloid leukaemia (AML) and myelodysplasia (MDS) after stem cell transplantation.
