Full study description
brief Summary
This first-in-human, 3-stage, open-label study evaluated the safety and pharmacokinetics of ASTX727, as well as determined the dose for later stages.
detailed Description
The trial was designed to define daily doses of the individual components (cedazuridine \[E7727\] or decitabine) so that decitabine exposure after oral administration would be comparable to exposure after IV decitabine at the approved daily dose of 20 mg/m\^2. The main objective of Phases 1 and 2 was to establish and confirm the doses of the 2 components to be used in the final fixed-dose combination (FDC) product (ASTX727) using mainly pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics as endpoints.
