Led AZA-001, which showed azacitidine extends survival in high-risk MDS and made hypomethylating agents standard.
Pierre Fenaux (Hôpital Saint-Louis, Paris) was principal investigator of AZA-001, the trial that showed azacitidine improves overall survival compared with conventional care in higher-risk myelodysplastic syndromes, the first drug to do so and the foundation of hypomethylating therapy in MDS and AML. He co-led the European APL trials with Laurent Degos that established all-trans retinoic acid and leads the Groupe Francophone des Myélodysplasies.
