Recently, the results of a few pilot studies have shown the efficacy of the association of idarubicin (IDA) and cytosine arabinoside (Ara-C), already successfully employed in acute myeloid leukemia (AML), for remission induction in patients with myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS). We set out to evaluate in a multicenter study the efficacy and tolerability of an intensive therapy with IDA and Ara-C in patients with RAEB and RAEB-t, the rate and duration of CR and the overall survival in adults treated with full doses and in the elderly treated with lower doses; furthermore, we investigated the efficacy of low-dose maintenance chemotherapy.
