About this trial
Previous studies provide a rationale for administration of AZA after allo SCT for decreasing chimerism. The investigators hypothesize that azacitidine can be well tolerated after SCT and help decrease rate of decreasing donor chimerism and hence decrease relapse without increasing GVHD
Eligibility criteria
This trial does not accept healthy volunteersQualifiers
Patients with AML/MDS/MPN, CMML post Allogeneic SCT who experience any drop in total or myeloid chimerism any time after day 30, or their day 30 or day100 myeloid donor chimerism is below 98% without concurrent hematologic relapse (that is, patients with <5% bone marrow blasts as obtained at that time point) will be offered treatment with azacitidine
>=30 -180 days post SCT and patients must have ANC> 1000, PLT > 50,000
Age 18-75 years old
Performance score of at least 70% by Karnofsky

Primary outcomes
The rate of increase or stable donor chimerism
To determine the rate of increase or stable donor chimerism when using low dose azacitidine post allogenic stem cell transplant (SCT) in patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML), myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS), chronic myelomonocytic leukemia (CMML) and myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPN) with documented low or decreasing donor chimerism
