Myelodysplastic syndromes are hematological malignancies characterized by ineffective hematopoiesis and a high risk of progression to acute myeloid leukemia. Hypomethylating agents (HMAs), azacitidine and decitabine, are standard of care therapy for higher-risk myelodysplastic syndromes. However, outcomes reported for real-world studies fall short of those achieved in clinical trials. We conducted a targeted literature review exploring real-world utilization, persistence and outcomes with intravenous and subcutaneous HMA therapies to better understand barriers to achieving optimal outcomes in clinical practice. The potential benefits of oral HMA therapy were also explored. Underutilization and poor persistence with HMA therapy are associated with suboptimal outcomes, highlighting the need for approaches to improve utilization and persistence, so that patients achieve the optimum benefit from HMA therapy.
