Inclusion Criteria:

- Diagnosis of severe aplastic anemia (bone marrow cellularity < 30%, with two of three
peripheral counts at the time of initial presentation or currently low with absolute
neutrophil count (ANC) < 500/mL, pre-transfusion platelet (PLT) < 20,000/mL, or
pre-transfusion hemoglobin < 8 g/dL and presence of no other underlying disorder.

- Diagnosis of MDS (World Health Organization) with bone marrow cellularity < 30%, with
two of three peripheral counts at the time of initial presentation or currently low
with ANC < 500/mL, pre-transfusion PLT < 20,000/mL, or pre-transfusion hemoglobin < 8
g/dL.

- Patients with MDS who have received prior biological therapy (not chemotherapy) are
eligible. Hypomethylating agents and histone deacetylase inhibitors are considered as
biological therapy.

- Age 15 or greater

to the disease

- No other investigational therapy in the past 14 days

- Able to sign consent form

- Able to comply with the need for contraception (abstinence, condom, birth control
pill, or other acceptable form of contraception) during the entire study period

- Diagnosis of MDS (WHO) with bone marrow cellularity greater than 30%, with low or
intermediate-1 risk by the International Prognostic Scoring System (IPSS) score, and
requiring treatment (i.e. transfusion-dependent)

Exclusion Criteria:

- Active and uncontrolled infection

- HIV positive test

- Pregnant or breast feeding
