About this study
In plain language
This study tests the safety of decitabine and cedazuridine pills and how the body processes them. It is for adults with certain cancers who have either severe kidney problems without dialysis or normal kidney function. Taking part lasts up to about 8 weeks.
This is a Phase 1b, multicenter, open-label, PK, and safety study of multiple oral doses of oral decitabine and cedazuridine (formerly known as ASTX727) as a fixed-dose combination of decitabine 35 milligrams (mg) and cedazuridine 100 mg in cancer participants with severe renal impairment and cancer participants with normal renal function as matched control participants. Adult participants with acute myeloid lymphoma (AML), myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS), or solid tumors who are candidates to receive oral decitabine and cedazuridine will be enrolled in this study. Study duration per participant is approximately up to 8 weeks.
Compensation is read from the study's own description and may be missing — always confirm with the study team.
Eligibility
Who can join
- Be able to understand the study, give consent, and follow the visit and testing schedule.
- Have AML or MDS, which are blood and bone marrow cancers, or another eligible cancer. Other cancers must have no standard treatment available to extend life; solid tumors must have spread or be unable to be removed by surgery.
- Meet the study’s blood cell count rules for your cancer type. AML and MDS have extra eligibility rules.
- Have normal kidney function or severe kidney problems that do not need dialysis, a treatment that filters the blood. Kidney test results must be stable.
- Meet the study’s liver test limits and rules about how well you can do daily tasks.
- Have had no major surgery in the 30 days before treatment and be expected to live at least 3 months.
- If you can become pregnant, have a negative pregnancy test, not be breastfeeding, and use highly effective birth control during treatment and for 6 months after.
- If you are a man with a partner who can become pregnant, use condoms and advise your partner to use highly effective birth control during treatment and for at least 3 months after.
Who can't join
- Have had certain recent cancer or study treatments, ongoing serious side effects, or are taking other MDS treatments. Prior cell-killing chemotherapy for AML is not allowed, except hydroxyurea to control high white blood cell counts.
- Have had a hospital stay longer than 2 days for certain serious infections in the 30 days before treatment, or have HIV or active hepatitis B or C.
- Have had a live vaccine within 4 weeks before treatment, or receive one through follow-up. Other vaccines should be avoided from 7 days before treatment through follow-up.
- Have certain heart rhythm risks, take medicines that affect heart rhythm, or have unstable heart disease, severe heart failure, or very high or very low blood pressure.
- Have fast-growing AML or MDS that may need intensive chemotherapy within 3 months, or untreated cancer spread to the brain or spinal cord. Treated spread must be stable for at least 4 weeks before screening.
- Have a serious illness, organ problem, mental health condition, or other issue that could make treatment unsafe, affect how the pills work, or prevent you from finishing the study.
- Have a history of alcohol abuse or drug addiction, including cannabis, or drink more than the study’s weekly alcohol limits.
- Have donated or lost more than 500 mL of blood within 60 days before treatment, or are allergic to either study drug or any pill ingredient.

Official eligibility criteria
Inclusion Criteria: * Able to understand and comply with the study procedures, understand the risks involved in the study, and provide legally effective informed consent before the first study-specific procedure; specifically able to comply with the PK assessment schedule during the first treatment cycle. * Participants must have a histologically or cytologically confirmed malignancy as follows: 1. A solid tumor that is metastatic or unresectable and for which standard life-prolonging measures are not available. or 2. AML or MDS. or 3. A hematologic malignancy other than AML or MDS for which standard life-prolonging measures are not available. * For participants with AML/MDS only: 1. Cytologically or histologically confirmed diagnosis of AML (except M3 acute promyelocytic leukemia) or MDS according to the 2008 World Health Organization (WHO) classification or 2. Participants with frontline MDS or treatment naïve AML not suitable for induction therapy (e.g., age \>75 years, Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group \[ECOG\] performance ≥2, severe pulmonary disorder, total bilirubin 1.5 × upper limit of normal \[ULN\]); or 3. Platelet count ≥25,000/per microliter (μL); or 4. Absolute neutrophil count (ANC) ≥100 cells/μL. * For participants with only hematologic malignancies other than AML or MDS, or solid tumors: 1. Platelet count ≥100,000/μL; and 2. ANC ≥1000 cells/μL. * ECOG performance status of 0 to 3. * Adequate hepatic function defined as: 1.

Aspartate aminotransferase (AST) and alanine aminotransferase (ALT) ≤2.5X ULN. * Participants must have a body surface area (BSA)-adjusted CLcr using to the Cockcroft-Gault equation: 1.

CLcr must be stable with \<30% deviation allowed from screening to Day -1 (Baseline).
