- Participants with documented pathological (bone marrow, no longer than 30 days before
first dosing in study) evidence of Myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) or of chronic
myelomonocytic leukemia (CMML) by World health organisation classification

- Participants with international prognostic scoring system (IPSS) score equal to 0.5 or
more (only for participants for whom IPSS is applicable)

- Participants with an Eastern oncology cooperative group (ECOG) performance status of
0-2

- Participants with adequate hepatic (liver) and renal (kidney) function as measured by
pre-treatment laboratory criteria within 21 days of starting treatment with decitabine

receiving any chemotherapy for a minimum of 4 weeks (6 weeks if the participants has
been treated with a nitrosoureas) before to the first dose of study drug

Exclusion Criteria:

- Participants with a diagnosis of acute myeloid leukemia (AML) (greater than 30 percent
bone marrow blasts)

- Participants with AML with multilineage dysplasia (abnormal development or cell
growth) following MDS (20-30 percent bone marrow blasts) can be enrolled. For these
latter participants an observation period of 1 month is necessary to exclude those
participants with rapid progression to full blown AML

- Participants with previous treatment with azacitadine or decitabine or hematopoietic
stem cell transplantation less than 1 year prior to study enrollment
