Brief Summary
The purpose of this study is to identify the doses of the oral azacitidine formulations and cedazuridine (CED) tablets which achieve a total AUC for AZA comparable to that for AZA injection at 75 mg/m2

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (1)
• AUC ratio of AZA after administration of oral azacitidine formultions in combination with CED tablets compared with subcutaneous (SC) administration of AZA injection
Up to 1 month
Study Arms (1)
Azacitidine + Cedazuridine
EXPERIMENTALDrug: Azacitidine Tablets or capsules for oral administration and powder for reconstitution to aqueous suspension for subcutaneous administration Drug: Cedazuridine Tablets for oral administration
Interventions
In Cycle 1 (28 days per cycle), single dose oral azacitidine formulations will be administered on day -3, followed by subcutaneous (SC) azacitidine on day 1, oral azacitidine formulations and cedazuridine tablets on day 2-7; in Cycle 2 and onward, oral azacitidine formulations and cedazuridine tablets will be administered on day 1-7
Eligibility Criteria
You may qualify if:
- Patients aged 20 years or older
- Patients with a diagnosis of MDS (refractory anemia \[RA\], refractory anemia with ringed sideroblasts \[RARS\], refractory anemia with excess blasts \[RAEB\], refractory anemia with excess blasts in transformation \[RAEB-T\], or chronic myelomonocytic leukemia \[CMML\]) according to the French-American-British (FAB) classification Low-risk patients who fall under the risk category of low or intermediate-1 (Int-1) based on the International Prognostic Scoring System (IPSS) can be enrolled only if they are unlikely to respond to any other treatment or if they are currently being treated with azacytidine (AZA) injection
- Patients with an ECOG PS score of 0 or 1 or with an ECOG PS score of 2 due to primary disease-associated conditions
- Patients with adequate organ function as indicated below
- Hepatic function: All of the following criteria must be satisfied.
- Total bilirubin ≤ 2.0 × upper limit of normal (ULN)
- Aspartate aminotransferase (AST) ≤ 2.5 × ULN
- Alanine aminotransferase (ALT) ≤ 2.5 × ULN
- Renal function: Either of the following criteria must be satisfied.
- Serum creatinine ≤ 1.5 × ULN
- Creatinine clearance or glomerular filtration rate ≥ 50 mL/min
- Respiratory function: percutaneous arterial oxygen saturation (SpO2) ≥ 90%
- Patients who are expected to survive for at least 3 months
- Patients who give written consent to participate in the trial using the informed consent form approved by the institutional review board
You may not qualify if:
- Patients who are unlikely to respond to AZA
- Patients who have received chemotherapy, hormone therapy, antibody therapy, radiotherapy, or other exploratory anti-cancer treatments for the primary disease within 3 weeks prior to the first administration of the investigational medicinal product (IMP)
- Patients who have used any other IMP or any privately imported medicine within 4 weeks prior to the first administration of IMP
- Patients with heart disease of Class 3 or 4 according to the New York Heart Association classification
- Patients with uncontrolled systemic disease or active infection
- Patients with uncontrolled gastric or duodenal ulcer
- Patients with prior or current interstitial lung disease
- Patients with a history of surgical gastrectomy
- Patients with life-threatening conditions/symptoms, multiple organ failure, or other factors (including laboratory abnormalities) that, in the opinion of the investigator, are likely to affect their safety or the absorption and metabolism of AZA and cedazuridine (CED), or influence the trial evaluation
- Patients with other malignancies (except appropriately treated basal cell carcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma, or cervical carcinoma in situ; prostate or breast cancer stabilized by endocrine therapies; and malignancies that have not relapsed for at least 1 year since the last successful treatment)
- Patients who are positive for HIV antibody, HBV-DNA, or HCV antibody
- Patients who have undergone a highly invasive and extensive surgical procedure within 4 weeks prior to the first administration of IMP
- Patients who previously underwent or plan on undergoing hematopoietic stem cell transplantation
- Patients with a history of hypersensitivity to the active ingredient or any excipient of IMP
- Patients who are, in the opinion of the investigator, at high risk for being unable to comply with the trial protocol because of mental disorders or other medical conditions (alcohol/substance abuse or addiction)
