Phase 2
Waitlist Available
Research Sponsored by Taiho Oncology, Inc.
Eligibility Criteria Checklist
Specific guidelines that determine who can or cannot participate in a clinical trial
Must have
Participants must have a confirmed diagnosis of- i. MDS including all French-American-British subtypes (refractory anemia, refractory anemia with ringed sideroblasts, refractory anemia with excess blasts, refractory anemia with excess blasts in transformation, CMML), and participants with MDS International Prognostic Scoring System (IPSS) int-1, -2, or high-risk MD. ii. AML, as diagnosed according to the 2016 World Health Organization (WHO) guidelines on acute leukemia, of any subtype except M3 (acute promyelocytic leukemia), who are not candidates for intensive chemotherapy, including participants receiving hypomethylating agent (HMA) treatment, who have a confirmed diagnosis and a prior confirmatory bone marrow report. Participants who are currently receiving HMA treatment must complete the ongoing (at the time of Screening) treatment cycle before enrolling in this study; timing of start of treatment cycle with ASTX727 is at the principal investigator's discretion.
Adequate organ function defined as follows: Hepatic: Total bilirubin ≤1.5 × upper limit of normal (ULN); aspartate aminotransferase/serum glutamic-oxaloacetic transaminase (AST/SGOT) and alanine aminotransferase/serum glutamic-pyruvic transaminase (ALT/SGPT) ≤5 × ULN. Renal: Calculated creatinine clearance ≥60 mL/min.
Must not have
Known history of human immunodeficiency virus or known seropositive for hepatitis C virus or hepatitis B virus.
Participants with known or suspected hypersensitivity to decitabine, cedazuridine, or any of the excipients in the ASTX727 tablets.

Summary

This trial is an extension of a previous study that found benefits from ASTX727 treatment. The purpose of the Food Effect Substudy is to study the effects of food on the drug's safety and how it is absorbed by the body.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for people who have certain types of leukemia or preleukemia and were previously benefiting from ASTX727 in an Astex-sponsored study. They must understand the study, not be pregnant or breastfeeding, use effective birth control, have a performance status of 0 to 2 (which measures how the disease affects daily living abilities), and adequate liver and kidney function.
What is being tested?
The trial continues treatment with ASTX727 for those who benefited from it before. It also studies how food affects the drug's absorption and safety by comparing its effects when taken with different meals versus no meal at all.
What are the potential side effects?
While specific side effects are not listed here, participants will be monitored for any adverse reactions related to ASTX727 which could include typical chemotherapy-related issues such as digestive problems, blood disorders, fatigue, or potential organ dysfunction.

Trial Design

3Treatment groups
Experimental Treatment
Group I: Substudy Arm B: ASTX727 With Low-Calorie/Low-Fat Breakfast Meal on Day 4Experimental Treatment1 Intervention
Participants received ASTX727 once daily on Days 1 through 5 in a 28-day cycle (Cycle 1). Participants fasted for at least 2 hours before and 2 hours after dosing on Days 1, 3, 5 and for at least 10 hours before and 4 hours after dosing on Day 2. Participants received low-calorie/low-fat breakfast meal after an overnight fast of at least 10 hours before dosing on Day 4 and will continue to fast for at least 4 hours post-dose. Participants continued treatment with ASTX727 in Cycle 2 onwards in the ASTX727-06 study at the Investigator's discretion, where they continued to receive ASTX727 unless there was occurrence of disease progression requiring alternative therapy, unacceptable toxicity, noncompliance, a decision to discontinue treatment, or if the participant withdraws from the study.
Group II: Substudy Arm A: ASTX727 With High-Calorie/High-Fat Breakfast Meal on Day 4Experimental Treatment1 Intervention
Participants received ASTX727 once daily on Days 1 through 5 in a 28-day cycle (Cycle 1). Participants fasted for at least 2 hours before and 2 hours after dosing on Days 1, 3, 5 and for at least 10 hours before and 4 hours after dosing on Day 2. Participants received a high-calorie/high-fat breakfast meal after an overnight fast of at least 10 hours before dosing on Day 4 and continued to fast for at least 4 hours post-dose. Participants continued treatment with ASTX727 in Cycle 2 onwards in the ASTX727-06 study at the Investigator's discretion, where they continued to receive ASTX727 unless there was occurrence of disease progression requiring alternative therapy, unacceptable toxicity, noncompliance, a decision to discontinue treatment, or if the participant withdraws from the study.
Group III: Main Extension Study: ASTX727Experimental Treatment1 Intervention
The recommended starting dose is the fixed-dose combination (FDC) standard dose (SD) tablet, containing 100 mg cedazuridine and 35 mg decitabine, once daily, Days 1 through 5 in 28-day cycles. Participants should receive ASTX727 at the same dose they received in the last cycle of their parent study; if an adjustment from that dose is required, a different total cycle dose may be employed, as guided by the dose adjustment guidelines in the parent study protocol.
