Purpose
This first-in-human, 3-stage, open-label study evaluated the safety and pharmacokinetics of
ASTX727, as well as determined the dose for later stages.
Detailed Description
The trial was designed to define daily doses of the individual components (cedazuridine
[E7727] or decitabine) so that decitabine exposure after oral administration would be
comparable to exposure after IV decitabine at the approved daily dose of 20 mg/m^2. The main
objective of Phases 1 and 2 was to establish and confirm the doses of the 2 components to be
used in the final fixed-dose combination (FDC) product (ASTX727) using mainly
pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics as endpoints.

Phase 1 Dose Escalation | Experimental | Starting cohort was administered 40 mg oral cedazuridine and 20 mg oral decitabine. Participants were enrolled into successive cohorts in which either the cedazuridine or decitabine oral dose was varied in Course 1 Day 2 through Course 1 Day 5 for comparison with a single dose of IV decitabine at 20 mg/m^2 administered on Day 1 by continuous IV infusion over 1 hour (28 days per course). | |
Phase 2 Dose Confirmation | Experimental | Participants were randomized in a 1:1 ratio to receive either oral cedazuridine (E7727) (100 mg) + decitabine (35 mg) capsules Dailyx5 in Course 1 followed by IV decitabine (20 mg/m^2) Dailyx5 in Course 2 (28 days per course) or the converse. In Courses ≥ 3, participants received cedazuridine and decitabine capsules Dailyx5 in 28-day courses until disease progression, unacceptable toxicity, withdrawal of consent or withdrawal from the study. | - ASTX727 Dose Confirmation
|
Phase 2 Fixed-Dose Combination | Experimental | Participants were randomized in a 1:1 ratio to receive either the fixed-dose combination (FDC) tablet (100 mg cedazuridine (E7727)/35 mg decitabine) Dailyx5 in Course 1 followed by IV decitabine (20 mg/m^2) Dailyx5 in Course 2 (28 days per course) or the converse. In Courses ≥ 3, all participants received the FDC tablet Dailyx5 in 28-day courses until disease progression, unacceptable toxicity, withdrawal of consent or withdrawal from the study. | - ASTX727 Fixed-Dose Combination

Primary Outcome Measures
Measure: | Mean Decitabine Area Under the Concentration Versus Time Curve (AUC0-t) on Day 5 by Cohort in Phase 1 |
Time Frame: | Day 5 |
Safety Issue: | |
Description: | Mean AUC0-t of oral decitabine given with cedazuridine (E7727) following IV decitabine 20 mg/m^2 infusion on Day 5. AUCs were calculated by the linear up/log down method using the measured concentration-time values above the BQL (below the limit of quantification). |
Secondary Outcome Measures
Measure: | Area Under the Concentration Versus Time Curve of Cedazuridine (E7727) and Cedazuridine-epimer |
Time Frame: | At specified timepoints from 0 to 24 hours post-dose |
Safety Issue: | |
Description: | AUC is a measure of the plasma concentration of the drug over time (AUC0-8). PK parameters are reported for the dose escalation stage by cohort in Phase 1 and dose confirmation and fixed-dose combination stages in Phase 2. |
