The P-III (ASCERTAIN) study evaluates decitabine + cedazuridine (ASTX727 or DEC-C) as a fixed-dose combination vs IV decitabine in adults with AML
The study met its 1EPs i.e., the combination provides exposure equivalence to IV decitabine at 5-day dosing, and safety results were similar to IV decitabine. The results will be presented at EHA 2022 in Vienna, Austria
