---|---|---|---|---|---|
Silverman et al. [36] | 68 | Azacitidine SQ at 75 mg/m2 ×7d vs. BSC | 20 vs. 14 | Yes | P=0.1 |
Fenaux et al. [37] | 69 | Azacitidine SQ at 75 mg/m2 ×7d vs. CCR | 24.4 vs. 15 | No | P<0.001 |
Lubbert et al. [41] | 70 | Decitabine 15 mg/m2 IV over 4 hours every 8 hours for 3 days vs. BSC | 10.1 vs. 8.5 | No | P=0.38 |
Kantarjian et al. [40] | 70 | Decitabine 15 mg/m2 IV over 3 hours every 8 hours for 3 days vs. BSC | 14 vs. 14.9 | No | P=0.63 |
BSC: best supportive care
CCR: conventional care regimens (best supportive care, low-dose cytarabine, or intensive chemotherapy as selected by investigators before randomisation)
