Stay tuned on this one.....
There is a major study coming out on Cyclosporine taper and relapse coming out very soon. Last I heard Dr. Scheinberg said that the statistics gurus were putting the finishing touches on it.
However, there was a study that came out from Europe a year or two ago that showed a slower taper reduced risk of relapse dramatically. From 60% for a fast taper down to 8% for a Very Slow taper.
I don't know if the study included MDS patients too.
