Who is INQOVI for?
INQOVI is indicated for treatment of adult patients with myelodysplastic syndromes, including1:
- previously treated and untreated, de novo, and secondary MDS with the following French‑American‑British subtypes:
- refractory anemia
- refractory anemia with ringed sideroblasts
- refractory anemia with excess blasts
- chronic myelomonocytic leukemia
- intermediate-1, intermediate-2, and high-risk International Prognostic Scoring System groups
Decitabine and cedazuridine (INQOVI) is the only FDA-approved oral hypomethylating agent (HMA) option in MDS (IPSS intermediate-1 and above) that the National Comprehensive Cancer Network® (NCCN) recommends could be a substitution for IV decitabine1,4,5
Oral decitabine and cedazuridine (DEC-C) (NCCN Category 2A†) could be a substitution for intravenous decitabine in patients with IPSS intermediate-1 and above in the NCCN Clinical Practice Guidelines in Oncology (NCCN Guidelines®) for Myelodysplastic Syndromes.5
- Do not substitute decitabine and cedazuridine (INQOVI) for an IV decitabine product within a cycle1
Watch the video to understand how patients with MDS feel about the impact of IV/SC therapy and why they may prefer an oral option like INQOVI3
†Category 2A: Based upon lower-level evidence, there is uniform NCCN consensus that the intervention is appropriate.5
CMML=chronic myelomonocytic leukemia; FDA=US Food and Drug Administration; IPSS=International Prognostic Scoring System.
