Sapacitabine

Hi All,
Positive results for Sapacitabine for patients who failed Vidaza or Dacogen.

I'm curious why they limited their trial to patients ages 60 and up, and why the Phase 3 trial is limited to patients ages 70 and up. Are they considering sapacitabine for only that patient population?

Hi Neil,
You know I usually only read abstracts - when an abstract is very interesting I get the article at the Hospital. Sapacitabine is still far away from me so I only know the facts in the abstract.
Kind regards

Where I live there is a cut-off age limit of 65 for BMTs. So there is a need for further less invasive treatments for us older MDS patients who want to fight on for some extra time before our "expiration" date. :cool:
