OS benefits between in the combination and the sequence arms To determine: • The relationship of cytogenetic abnormalities and response to treatment • Biomarkers of the response |

E.4 | Principal exclusion criteria |
A. Prior treatment with Azacitidine or Lenalidomide. B. Any prior chemotherapy or radiotherapy for another malignancy within 6 months C. Prior history of malignancies, other than MDS, unless the subject has been free of the disease for ≥ 3 years.
