FDA has approved the first all‑oral regimen for certain newly diagnosed acute myeloid leukemia (AML) patients: oral decitabine/cedazuridine tablets combined with venetoclax for patients who are older or otherwise unfit for intensive therapy. Approval is supported by data from Study ASTX727‑07 and the ASCERTAIN V trial, which reported strong response rates and favorable survival outcomes, and offers an at‑home alternative to repeated IV/infusion visits. Researchers including co‑authors Talha Badar and Amer Zeidan have highlighted the significance of this option for a vulnerable population.
