Estimated Study Completion Date:	September 2013
Estimated Primary Completion Date:	September 2013 (Final data collection date for primary outcome measure)

Arms	Assigned Interventions
Experimental: CHG regimen one course of CHG regimen (low-dose cytarabine, homoharringtonine and G-CSF priming)	Drug: CHG regimen cytarabine (25mg/d, days1-14) and homoharringtonine (1mg/d, days1-14) by intravenous continuous infusion, G-CSF (300 μg/d) by subcutaneous injection from day 0 until neutrophil count recovery to 2.0× 109/L. Other Name: Low dose chemotherapy
Active Comparator: Decitabine one course of Decitabine (5-aza-deoxycytidine,Dacogen)	Drug: 5-aza-deoxycytidine Decitabine (5-aza-deoxycytidine)for injection, 20mg/m2/day, IV (in the vein) on days 1-5 of each 28 day cycle, Number of Cycles: 2. Other Name: Dacogen

Detailed Description:

Patients with higher-risk myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) have a survival rate of 0.4 to 1.2 years as well as a high risk of their disease progressing to acute myeloid leukemia (AML). The only treatment with a curative potential is allogeneic stem cell transplantation. However, in the majority of patients, this treatment is not applicable, mainly due to the age of the recipients and comorbid conditions. Low-dose chemotherapy CHG regimen (low-dose cytarabine, homoharringtonine with G-CSF priming)has been used to treat higher-risk MDS in China and achieve high response rate. Hypomethylating agents 5-aza-2'-deoxycytidine (decitabine) is nucleoside analogs that covalently bind to the DNA methyltransferases, irreversibly inhibiting their function, leading to the progressive loss of methylation and reversal of gene silencing. The purpose of this study is to compare the efficacy and safety of CHG regimen to Decitabine in higher-risk MDS.
