Dear Linda,
There are patients who respond to Dacogen but not to Vidaza. If Al's counts didn't decrease when he received Vidaza they will hopefully not decrease when he is receiving Dacogen.
Otherwise 90% of the patients
initially get low WBCs on Dacogen compared to 79% on supportive therapy, 89% get low platelets compared to 79% on supportive therapy and 82% low HGB compared to 74%.
