CLcr must be stable with <30% deviation allowed from Screening to Baseline (Day -1). Patients shifting outside the prospected renal function category (normal renal function or severe renal function) at Baseline need to be agreed by Astex medical expert whether they are allowed to remain in the original category that was assessed at Screening.

• - No major surgery within 30 days of first administration of oral decitabine and cedazuridine.

• - Life expectancy of at least 3 months.

• - Women of childbearing potential (according to recommendations of the Clinical Trial Facilitation Group) must not be pregnant or breastfeeding and must have a negative pregnancy test at Screening.

• - Women of childbearing potential* must agree to practice 1 highly effective contraceptive measure of birth control with low user dependency and must agree not to become pregnant for 6 months after completing treatment.

• - Male patients with female partners of childbearing potential must agree to use a male condom and advise his partner to practice 1 highly effective contraceptive measure of birth control (user dependent or with low user dependency) and must agree not to father a child while receiving treatment with oral decitabine and cedazuridine for at least 3 months after completing treatment.

Exclusion Criteria:

• - Treatment with azacitidine or decitabine within 4 weeks before Screening.

Prior cytotoxic chemotherapy for AML except for hydroxyurea to control high white blood cell (WBC) counts.

• - Hospitalization for more than 2 days for documented febrile neutropenia, pneumonia, sepsis, or systemic infection during the individual screening period.

• - Treatment with any investigational medicinal product (IMP), investigational therapy, chemotherapy, immunotherapy, or targeted therapy within 2 weeks or 5 half-lives, whichever is longer, before the first dose of study treatment, or ongoing clinically significant adverse events from previous treatment.

• - Concurrent MDS therapies, including lenalidomide, cyclosporine/tacrolimus, granulocyte-colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF), granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor, etc. Prior treatment with these agents is permitted, provided that completion is at least 1 week before the first dose of study treatment.

Short-term use of G-CSF for febrile neutropenia is permitted at the discretion of the treating physician and should be guided by accepted practice or institutional guidelines. Hematopoietic growth factors will not be routinely used unless cleared by Astex medical expert.

• - Administration of live (attenuated) vaccines within 4 weeks before the first administration of oral decitabine and cedazuridine until after the follow-up visit.

Other vaccines, eg, inactivated or RNA-based, may be administered but should not occur from 7 days before first administration of oral decitabine and cedazuridine until after the follow-up visit.

• - High medical risk because of other conditions such as uncontrolled systemic diseases, active uncontrolled infections, or comorbidities that may put the patient at risk of not being able to complete at least 2 cycles of treatment.

• - Conditions which likely promote delayed ventricular repolarization (QT prolongation): 1.

Corrected QT interval (QTc) using Bazett's correction (QTcB) or QTc using Fridericia correction (QTcF) at Screening or Day -1 > 450 ms. 2. History or disposition for torsades des pointes (TdP) (eg, heart failure, hypokalemia, family history of long QT Syndrome) 3. Concomitant medication that prolong the QT/QTc interval.

• - Cardiac abnormalities or unstable cardiovascular conditions: 1.

• - Known significant mental illness or other condition, such as active alcohol or other substance abuse or addiction, that in the opinion of the investigator predisposes the patient to high risk of noncompliance with the protocol.

• - In participants with AML/MDS, rapidly progressive or highly proliferative disease or other criteria that render the patient at high risk of requiring intensive cytotoxic chemotherapy within the next 3 months.

• - Life-threatening illness or severe organ system dysfunction, such as uncontrolled congestive heart failure or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, or other reasons including laboratory abnormalities, that in the investigator's opinion, could compromise the patient's safety, interfere with the absorption or metabolism of oral decitabine and cedazuridine, or compromise completion of the study or integrity of the study outcomes.
