Official Title: A Phase II Study of the Efficacy and Safety of Lenalidomide Combined to Escalating Doses of Chemotherapy in Intermediate-2-or High Risk MDS and AML With Del 5q

Brief Summary: In this trial, the investigators will test the combination of escalating doses of chemotherapy (starting at relatively low dose) with lenalidomide in intermediate-2-or high risk MDS and AML with del 5 q31. It is hoped that this combined therapy will further increase response rate in intermediate-2-or high risk MDS and AML with del 5 q31, without major toxicity in comparison to historical results obtained with chemotherapy alone in the same subset of patients.
