Popis: Rambam Medical Center, Haifa, IsraelA Phase II study of GM-CSF with intermediate-dose cytarabine and mitoxantrone wasconducted in patients with high-risk myelodysplastic syndrome. It was designed to evalu-ate if priming with growth factor could increase the efficiency of chemotherapy. In thisolder population only two of 10 patients achieved a bone marrow CR, including onepatient whose leukemic blasts had an “S” phase increase of 2.55× at 48 hr. Unexpectedhepatotoxicity was noted. This regimen cannot be recommended for this elderly popu-lation of patients. Am. J. Hematol. 66:23–27, 2001.
