Evaluation of Cytidine Deaminase for Patient Suffering of a Myelodysplastic Syndrom or an AML Treated by Azacytidine

Evaluation of Cytidine Deaminase for Patient Suffering of a Myelodysplasic Syndrom or an Acute Myeloid Leukemia and Treated by Azacytidine

Myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) is a group of medical conditions derived from progressive bone marrow failure that result in ineffective production of blood cells. Depending on the severity, MDS reduces the quality of life to the point of being life-threatening. There is a probability of death at all stages of the disease, due to complications and co-morbidities, with progression to acute myeloid leukemia (AML) being the worst evolution. Azacytidine is a nucleosidic analog with original epigenetic mechanism of action that is widely used for treating a variety of myelodysplasic syndromes. Although generally well tolerated, severe and sometimes life-threatening toxicities were unexpectedly observed in some patients. Genetic polymorphism affecting cytidine deaminase (CDA), the liver enzyme responsible for azacytidine detoxification step, could be responsible for poor clinical outcome due to on the one hand to severe toxicities in deficient patients, and on the other hand on treatment failure in ultrametabolizer patients.This clinical study aims at correlating the values in CDA levels with the risk of drug-related toxicities and to the clinical response to azacytidine treatment.

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm
Intervention / Treatment
Experimental: patient suffering of MDS or Myeloid leukemia
The patients suffering of MDS or Acute myeloid leukemia will be the object of 8 sampling of blood (on tube EDTA) distributed as this: the first day of the usual treatment (azacytidine) at T0, T30 MIN, T60 MIN, T90 MIN, T120 MIN, then a second series of taking in the 5th day of treatment at T0, T30 MIN, T90 MIN to determine cytidine deaminase (CDA) activities by following its plasmatic dosage
This clinical study aims at correlating the values in CDA levels with the risk of drug-related toxicities and to the clinical response to azacytidine treatment for patient suffering of MDS or Myeloid leukemia
