Decitabine

The Generic name of this drug

Treatment Summary

Myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) are a group of blood disorders that can cause decreases in neutrophils and platelets. In some cases, MDS can lead to secondary acute myeloid leukemia which is difficult to treat. Decitabine is a medication used to treat MDS. It works by integrating into DNA and blocking the action of enzymes that cause cancerous cells to multiply. Decitabine was approved by the FDA in 2006 and is available as an oral combination product with the drug cedazuridine.

How Inqovi Affects Patients

Decitabine is a drug that is changed into a different form when it enters the body and affects how genes are expressed. Taking decitabine can lead to a decrease in white blood cells and platelets. It is also known to cause harm to unborn babies, so pregnant women should not take decitabine and those taking it should use effective birth control to avoid pregnancy.

How Inqovi works in the body

Decitabine is a drug used to treat myelodysplastic syndromes. It works by trapping DNA methyltransferase enzymes, preventing them from carrying out their usual functions. This leads to a decrease in their levels and global hypomethylation of DNA, which can cause tumour suppressor genes to be expressed. Decitabine also causes double-stranded breaks in DNA, which can lead to cell death. In this way, it can reduce neoplastic cell growth while activating pathways involved in DNA damage response.

Inqovi Toxicity & Overdose Risk

Decitabine has been linked to mutations in certain animal cells and DNA. When pregnant mice were given decitabine, their offspring were smaller and had reduced fertility. Adult male mice given decitabine for seven weeks had smaller testicles, fewer sperm, and decreased fertility. There is no known antidote for an overdose of decitabine, so the best way to treat it is to provide supportive care. Patients who overdose may be more likely to experience severe effects such as a decrease in white and red blood cells and platelets.

Patient Q&A Section about inqovi

These questions and answers are submitted by anonymous patients, and have not been verified by our internal team.

What kind of drug is Inqovi?

"Inqovi is a prescription medicine that is used to treat adults with myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS, including chronic myelomonocytic leukemia (CMML).Myelodysplastic syndromes are types of blood or bone marrow disorders."

Answered by AI

Is Inqovi chemotherapy?

"Inqovi is a new drug that pairs decitabine with cedazuridine. Decitabine is an established anti-cancer drug, but it is not effective when taken orally because it is broken down by an enzyme called cytidine deaminase. Cedazuridine inhibits this enzyme, making it possible for decitabine to be taken orally."

Answered by AI

How long does it take for Inqovi to work?

"You may not see the effects of INQOVI for 4 or more cycles. Your blood cell counts may change within the first 2 months. Your healthcare provider will take blood tests before you start treatment with INQOVI and again before each 28-day cycle to check how well the treatment is working."

Answered by AI

What is Inqovi used for?

"INQOVI is a medication used to treat adults with myelodysplastic syndromes, including chronic myelomonocytic leukemia. Myelodysplastic syndrome is a type of blood cancer in which blood cells in the bone marrow are defective, leading to a low number of one or more types of blood cells."

In-Home Treatment for Cancer

18+
All Sexes
Jacksonville, FL

This phase II trial studies whether providing cancer treatment in the home is preferred over the traditional clinic setting and if it improves treatment satisfaction in cancer patients living in the Florida Panhandle and surrounding areas. Typically, drug-related cancer care is provided at a medical center which causes patients to have to spend considerable time away from their family, friends, and familiar surroundings. This may add to the physical, emotional, social, and financial burden for patients and their families during this difficult time in their lives. The Cancer Connected Access and Remote Expertise (CARE) Beyond Walls (CCBW) program uses a specialized care team trained to provide cancer treatment in the patient's home setting. It is designed to support remote connection between the home health team and providers and Mayo clinic. This may be preferred over the traditional clinic setting which may improve treatment satisfaction in cancer patients living in the Florida Panhandle and surrounding areas.

DLI-X for Leukemia

Any Age
All Sexes
Tucson, AZ

The primary objective of this proposal is to conduct the first-in-human randomized clinical trial evaluating prophylactic DLI-X (pro-DLI-X) for relapse prevention following matched sibling donor (MSD) or haploidentical (haplo) hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) in patients with hematologic malignancies. Additionally, the study aims to assess the safety and efficacy of therapeutic DLI-X (t-DLI-X) compared to t-DLI alone in patients with minimal residual disease (MRD+) or overt relapse post-alloHCT. For patients with CD19-positive lymphoid malignancies, the study will incorporate blinatumomab, while those with myeloid or CD19-negative lymphoid malignancies will receive t-DLI-X or t-DLI alone. We hypothesize that both pro-DLI-X and t-DLI-X, with or without blinatumomab, will demonstrate safety and superior efficacy by enhancing graft-versus-leukemia (GvL) effects mediated by natural killer (NK) cells, γδ T cells, and CD8+ T cells, while maintaining manageable and treatment-responsive graft-versus-host disease (GvHD).

Fludarabine + Cytarabine + Idarubicin + Venetoclax for Acute Myeloid Leukemia

18 - 65
All Sexes
Portland, OR

This phase II trial compares induction and consolidation therapy with fludarabine, cytarabine, idarubicin, and venetoclax to cytarabine and daunorubicin induction and cytarabine consolidation for the treatment of acute myeloid leukemia (AML). Patients with AML often receive induction and consolidation therapy. Induction therapy is given first to get the patient's AML under control (remission). Consolidation therapy is given after the cancer has disappeared following the initial therapy. Consolidation therapy is used to kill any cancer cells that may be left in the body. Chemotherapy drugs, such as fludarabine, cytarabine, idarubicin, and daunorubicin, work in different ways to stop the growth of cancer cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. Venetoclax is in a class of medications called B-cell lymphoma-2 (BCL-2) inhibitors. It may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking Bcl-2, a protein needed for cancer cell survival. Giving fludarabine, cytarabine, idarubicin, and venetoclax for induction and consolidation therapy may be more effective in treating AML.

Combination Therapy for Acute Myeloid Leukemia

18+
All Sexes
Seattle, WA

This phase II trial tests the safety, side effects, and how well combination chemotherapy with fludarabine, high-dose cytarabine, granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF), and idarubicin (FLAG-Ida) followed immediately by reduced-intensity total body radiation therapy, called total body irradiation (TBI), and donor hematopoietic cell transplant (HCT) works in treating adults age 60 and older with newly diagnosed adverse-risk acute myeloid leukemia (AML) or other high-grade myeloid cancer. Despite advances in supportive care and the approval of more than 10 new drugs since 2017, the outcomes of older adults with adverse-risk acute myeloid leukemia and other high-grade myeloid cancers remains poor. Most patients are expected to die from their cancer or the consequences of treatment-related side effects. Donor HCT is a very important part of any curative-cancer treatment for these patients. However, while accepted as standard care for decades, this treatment exposes patients to long periods of drug-induced low blood cell counts and the problems associated with low blood counts, like infections and bleeding, which are associated with significant risk of chronic side effects and death. This study will use a different approach to the upfront curative-cancer treatment of older adults with an adverse-risk AML or other high-grade myeloid cancer. This study will use intense chemotherapy followed a few days later by lower-dose TBI and donor HCT. Chemotherapy drugs, such as idarubicin, fludarabine, high-dose cytarabine work in different ways to stop the growth of cancer cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. G-CSF helps the bone marrow make more white blood cells in patients with low white blood cell count due to cancer treatment. This approach allows effective treatment of cancer cells and overall reduction of the period of low blood cells counts. This decreases the risk for problems associated with low blood counts, such as infection and chronic side effects. Decreasing these are important for older adults who undergo HCT. This treatment strategy may improve treatment outcomes by allowing more patients to successfully undergo donor HCT and reduce the risk of low blood cell counts and the problems associated with low blood counts. Giving chemotherapy followed immediately by reduced-intensity TBI and donor HCT may be safe, tolerable and/or effective in treating adults age 60 and older with newly diagnosed adverse-risk AML or other high-grade myeloid cancer.

Emapalumab for Graft-versus-Host Disease

18 - 75
All Sexes
Duarte, CA

This phase I trial tests the safety, side effects and effectiveness of emapalumab with post-transplant cyclophosphamide, tacrolimus, and mycophenolate mofetil in preventing graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) in patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) or myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) after reduced-intensity donor (allogeneic) hematopoietic cell transplant (HCT). Giving chemotherapy, such as fludarabine, melphalan, or busulfan, before a donor \[peripheral blood stem cell\] transplant helps kill cancer cells in the body and helps make room in the patient's bone marrow for new blood-forming cells (stem cells) to grow. When healthy stem cells for a donor are infused into a patient (allogeneic HCT), they may help the patient's bone marrow make more healthy cells and platelets. Allogeneic HCT is an established treatment, however, GVHD continues to be a major problem of allogeneic HCT that can complicate therapy. GVHD is a disease caused when cells from a donated stem cell graft attack the normal tissue of the transplant patient. Emapalumab binds to an immune system protein called interferon gamma. This may help lower the body's immune response and reduce inflammation. Cyclophosphamide is in a class of medications called alkylating agents. It works by damaging the cell's deoxyribonucleic acid and may kill cancer cells. It may also lower the body's immune response. Tacrolimus is a drug used to help reduce the risk of rejection by the body of organ and bone marrow transplants. Mycophenolate mofetil is a drug used to prevent GVHD after organ transplants. It is also being studied in the prevention of GVHD after stem cell transplants for cancer, and in the treatment of some autoimmune disorders. Mycophenolate mofetil is a type of immunosuppressive agent. Giving emapalumab with post-transplant cyclophosphamide, tacrolimus and mycophenolate mofetil may be safe, tolerable and/or effective in preventing GVHD in patients with AML or MDS after a reduced-intensity allogeneic HCT.
