PHAR researchers collaborated with investigators at Eisai Inc. to evaluate the prevalence of hematologic conditions in patients with myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS). Researchers compared two MDS patient groups: patients receiving hypomethylating agents (HMAs) and patients receiving supportive care alone. The study concluded that hematologic conditions were more common in patients who received HMAs, with the most frequently observed conditions being anemia and neutropenia. A poster detailing the findings was presented at the 2012 MASCC/ISOO International Symposium on Supportive Care in Cancer. This study was published in the November/December issue of American Health & Drug Benefits and can be viewed here.
