Primary current-line option

Standard plan

★ DEFAULT

Indication

IND-MDS-HR-1L-AZA

Regimen

Azacitidine (MDS-HR 1L)

Drugs + NSZU

Azacitidine (DRUG-AZACITIDINE) 75 mg/m²/day · SC days 1-7 of each 28-day cycle (or 5-2-2 schedule for outpatient convenience) · SC ✓ NSZU covered

Supportive care

SUP-HBV-PROPHYLAXIS

Reason

Primary current-line option selected by ALGO-MDS-HR-1L at step 4.

Other current-line alternatives (1 tracks)

Same treatment line; review when biomarker, access, contraindication, or patient-context assumptions change.

Aggressive plan

Indication

IND-MDS-HR-1L-VEN-AZA

Regimen

Venetoclax + Azacitidine (AML, unfit) — VIALE-A schedule

Drugs + NSZU

Venetoclax (DRUG-VENETOCLAX) Cycle 1 ramp: day 1 = 100 mg, day 2 = 200 mg, day 3 = 400 mg → days 4-28 = 400 mg PO daily; subsequent cycles = 400 mg daily continuously · PO daily; reduce to ~70-100 mg if combined with strong CYP3A4 inhibitor (posaconazole) · PO ⚠ NSZU — not for this indication
Azacitidine (DRUG-AZACITIDINE) 75 mg/m²/day · SC or IV days 1-7 of each 28-day cycle · SC ✓ NSZU covered

Supportive care

SUP-TLS-PROPHYLAXIS, SUP-PJP-PROPHYLAXIS, SUP-HSV-PROPHYLAXIS, SUP-HBV-PROPHYLAXIS

Red flags — PRO / CONTRA aggressive

PRO-AGGRESSIVE

Triggers that push toward the aggressive track

MDS patient elderly or frail (age ≥80, ECOG ≥3, life expectancy <2 years, multiple comorbidities) where best supportive care or low-intensity HMA is preferred over alloHCT or intensive disease modificationRF-MDS-FRAILTY-AGE
MDS patient with organ dysfunction limiting therapy: ECOG ≥3, severe renal impairment (CrCl <30), hepatic dysfunction (bilirubin >3× ULN), or cardiac dysfunction (LVEF <40%, NYHA III-IV)RF-MDS-ORGAN-DYSFUNCTION
MDS with TP53 mutation (mono- or biallelic) — distinct WHO 5th-ed entity with poor outcomes on HMA monotherapy and reduced alloHCT benefit; consideration of intensified / experimental therapy or palliative intentRF-MDS-TP53-MUTATION
MDS progressing to AML (≥20% blasts) or accelerated MDS-IB2 with rapid progression on HMA — switch to AML algorithm or escalate to ven+aza / intensive chemo + alloHCT bridgeRF-MDS-TRANSFORMATION-PROGRESSION
MDS-HR patient transplant-eligible: age <70-75 (per local practice), HCT-CI ≤4, adequate organ function, donor available — initiate alloHCT donor search at HMA initiation, not at HMA failureRF-MDS-TRANSPLANT-ELIGIBLE

CONTRA-AGGRESSIVE

Hard contraindications to escalation

What NOT to do

Explicit prohibitive rules, each grounded in a regimen / supportive care / contraindication entity

Standard plan (IND-MDS-HR-1L-AZA)

Do not skip pre-HMA HBV screening + prophylaxis — HMA-associated HBV reactivation has been described.
Do not stop HMA before cycle 6 without overt progression — response is often late (cycles 4-6).
Do not expect CR — most patients achieve hematologic improvement without CR; this has clinical value.
Do not skip donor search in parallel with HMA for transplant-eligible — search window 3-6 months.
Do not prescribe ven+aza in MDS-HR as 1L without trial / clinical justification — only extrapolation from VIALE-A AML, without HR-MDS-specific phase 3.

Aggressive plan (IND-MDS-HR-1L-VEN-AZA)

Do not skip venetoclax 3-day ramp + TLS prophylaxis.
Do not use ven+aza in patients non-fit for alloHCT (standard aza alone is an alternative with a better toxicity profile).
Do not expect phase-3 validation — VERONA and other trials in progress; current use is off-label.
Do not skip informed consent regarding off-label use and uncertainty about OS benefit.

Timeline

Treatment timeline — derived from regimen + monitoring schedule

Standard plan

Induction · Azacitidine (MDS-HR 1L)

28-day cycles × Continue ≥6 cycles before declaring failure (response often delayed to cycles 4-6); continue until progression / unacceptable toxicity in responders

Aggressive plan

Induction · Venetoclax + Azacitidine (AML, unfit) — VIALE-A schedule

28-day cycles × Continue until progression / unacceptable toxicity (median ~12 cycles in VIALE-A; ~25-30% achieve durable remission)
