A Study Comparing Treatment Preference Between Oral Decitabine/Cedazuridine and Azacitidine in Myelodysplastic Syndrome, Low-Blast Acute Myeloid Leukemia, or Chronic Myelomonocytic Leukemia

A Phase 3b, Randomized, Open-Label, Double Crossover Study Comparing Treatment Preference Between Oral Decitabine/Cedazuridine and Azacitidine in Adult Patients With IPSS R Intermediate Myelodysplastic Syndrome, Low Blast Acute Myeloid Leukemia, IPSS Intermediate-2 or High Risk Myelodysplastic Syndrome or Chronic Myelomonocytic Leukemia

Brief summary (registry, in English)

It is hypothesized that significantly more patients would prefer oral decitabine/cedazuridine to subcutaneous (SC) azacitidine (AZA) due to several factors, including improved treatment convenience, the reduced risk of nosocomial infections, and reduced treatment discomfort. However, this hypothesis has not been formally studied in a controlled setting. This study aims to address this evidence gap and evaluate patient, primary caregiver (carer), and clinician treatment preference between oral decitabine/cedazuridine and SC AZA in the treatment of adult patients with International Prognostic Scoring System-Revised (IPSS-R) intermediate, IPSS intermediate-2, or high-risk myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS), chronic myelomonocytic leukemia (CMML), or low-blast (LB) acute myeloid leukemia (AML) and thereby lend further credibility to the clinical, economic, and patient value of oral decitabine/cedazuridine.

Who cannot take part

Copied verbatim from ClinicalTrials.gov and grouped by topic. Only the trial team decides who can take part.

Prior treatment

  • Patients who have received hypomethylating agents (HMA) previously.
  • Patients who are receiving lenalidomide or are receiving other therapies outside of standard of care (SOC).
  • Receipt of any immunotherapy, any conventional or investigational systemic anti-cancer therapy within 5 half-lives of the drug, or within 4 weeks prior to the first dose of study treatment (whichever is longer).

Other illness

  • Patients with known hypersensitivity to the study treatments oral decitabine/cedazuridine or azacitidine.
  • Patients with advanced malignant hepatic tumors.
  • Any medical, psychological, social, or other condition which in the view of the Investigator is likely to interfere with the study, compliance, or put the patient at risk.

Lab values

  • Patients with severe renal impairment (creatinine clearance \<30 mL/min).
