Summary

This trial is testing whether a drug can help treat solid tumors and blood disorders.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for patients who have participated in previous CC-486 (oral azacitidine) studies for blood cancers and continue to meet those trials' criteria. They should benefit from ongoing treatment, adhere to the study's schedule, and use effective contraception if of childbearing potential.
What is being tested?

What are the potential side effects?
While specific side effects are not listed here, oral azacitidine may include gastrointestinal symptoms like nausea or vomiting, low blood cell counts leading to increased infection risk or bleeding problems, and fatigue.
