Summary
Brief summary (as posted)
RATIONALE: Vatalanib may be effective in preventing the development of leukemia in patients who have myelodysplastic syndromes. PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying vatalanib to see how well it works in treating patients with primary or secondary myelodysplastic syndromes.

- description
- Response was measured by International Standardized Response Criteria for MDS * Complete Response: Bone marrow showing \< 5% myeloblasts with normal maturation of all cell lines; Hgb \> 11 g/dL (untransfused), ANC ≥1.5 K/L, PLT ≥ 100 K/L, No blasts, no dysplasia * Partial remission: All of the CR criteria (if abnormal at baseline), except BM evaluation. Blasts decreased by ≥ 50% over baseline. Cellularity and morphology are not relevant. Hematologic improvement: * Erythroid (HI-E): For participants with baseline HGB \< 11g/dL, Major: \> 2g/dL increase, transfusion independence. Minor: 1-2g/dL increase, ≥ 50% decrease in transfusion requirements * Platelet (HI-P): For participants with baseline PLT \< 100 K/L: Major: absolute increase of \> 30 K/L, transfusion independence. Minor: ≥ 50% increase (net increase of \>10 K/L) * Neutrophil (HI-N): For participants with baseline ANC \< 1.5 K/L, Major: \> 100% increase (net increase \> 0.5 K/L). Minor: \> 100% increase (absolute increase \< 0.5 K/L)
