Study Summary

The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of subcutaneous azacitidine in combination with durvalumab as compared with subcutaneous azacitidine alone in adults with previously untreated, higher risk MDS who are not eligible for HSCT or in adults ≥ 65 years old with previously untreated AML who are not eligible for HSCT, with intermediate or poor cytogenetic risk.

Primary Outcome

Overall response rate (ORR) is defined as the percentage of participants achieving a complete remission (CR), partial remission (PR), marrow complete remission (mCR), and/or hematological improvement (HI) based on International Working Group (IWG) 2006 response criteria for MDS and central review. CR: ≤ 5% myeloblasts in bone marrow (BM), and peripheral blood: hemoglobin ≥ 11 g/dL; platelets ≥ 100 × 10⁹/L; neutrophils ≥ 1.0 × 10⁹/L; blasts 0% PR: BM blasts decreased by ≥ 50% but still \> 5%; per
