Taiho Oncology Data at ASH Annual Meeting Highlight Progress in Oral Therapies for Patients with Blood Cancers
Taiho Oncology Data at ASH Annual Meeting Highlight Progress in Oral Therapies for Patients with Blood Cancers
Taiho Oncology, Inc. presented findings from two studies at the 66th American Society of Hematology (ASH) Annual Meeting, focusing on oral therapies for myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) and MDS/myeloproliferative neoplasm (MPN). The first study, a Phase 1 trial, evaluated ASTX030—a combination of azacitidine and cedazuridine—and established a recommended dose for Phase 2 trials, showing pharmacokinetic profiles comparable to subcutaneous azacitidine. The second study analyzed real-world data comparing INQOVI® (decitabine and cedazuridine) tablets with intravenous or subcutaneous hypomethylating agents, providing insights into clinical outcomes and treatment patterns. These studies underscore Taiho Oncology's commitment to developing oral hypomethylating agents that may reduce treatment burdens for patients with MDS and related conditions.
