A Phase 1/2 Dose and Schedule Finding Study to Evaluate the Safety, Tolerability, Pharmacokinetics and Preliminary Efficacy of Oral Azacitidine (CC-486) in Subjects With Acute Myelogenous Leukemia and Myelodysplastic Syndromes After Allogeneic Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation
The purpose of the study is to determine the maximal tolerated dose and schedule of CC-486,
known as oral azacitidine, in patients with AML or MDS after allogeneic hematopoetic stem
cell transplant (HSCT). HSCT is more frequently used in AML or MDS as a potential curative
therapy. However, disease recurrence/relapse and graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) remain the
principal causes of fatal complications after transplantation. Oral azacitidine has
significant activity in MDS and AML. Oral azacitidine has also demonstrated immunomodulatory
activity in AML patients after allogeneic HSCT. An oral formulation of oral azacitidine
provides a convenient route of administration and an opportunity to deliver the drug over a
prolonged schedule.

This is an open-label, multicenter study of oral azacitidine in MDS or AML patients who have
undergone allogeneic HSCT. The study consists of three phases: Screening, Treatment and
Follow-up. During the Screening phase, the study doctor will do tests to see if the patient
is suitable for this study. The patients meeting protocol-specified entry criteria will enter
the treatment phase and be assigned to receive one of the oral azacitidine cohorts. The
dosing group of 200 mg QD on Days 1 to 7 will be evaluated first (ie, Cohort 1). In the event
that unacceptable toxicity occurs in Cohort 1, then oral azacitidine may be evaluated at
lower dose levels (eg, 150 mg). If the dosing regimen is confirmed to be safe in Cohort 1,
other cohorts will be evaluated sequentially. During the treatment phase, patients will be
monitored closely for safety and tolerability. Dosing interruption or delay, dose or schedule
reduction, intra-subject dose/schedule escalation or re-escalation may occur on the basis of
protocol-specified dosing adjustment guidelines. Safety will be monitored throughout the
study at predetermined intervals and as clinically indicated by vital signs, physical
examination, performance status, laboratory tests and evaluation of adverse events. The
patient can continue to receive the study treatment for up to 12 months provided that they
benefit from the study treatment and all protocol-specified criteria are met. However, the
patient may receive the study treatment for less than 12 months due to adverse event, disease
recurrence or progression. When the study treatment is discontinued, all patients who have
received at least one dose of oral azacitidine will be asked to see the study doctor for the
treatment discontinuation visit. Thereafter, all patients discontinued from the study
treatment will enter the Follow-up phase for safety and survival follow up.
