Randomized Phase III Study of Decitabine +/- Hydroxyurea (HY) Versus HY in Advanced Proliferative CMML

Summary

This is a phase III, two-arm, randomized, stratified, multicenter, open-label study with individual therapeutic benefit aim: Decitabine (DAC) with or without Hydroxyurea (HY) versus HY in patients with advanced proliferative Chronic Myelomonocytic Leukemia (CMML) The primary objective of the study is to compare between the two arms Event-free Survival (EFS).
