home admin of vidaza

a couple of years ago i saw this article:

http://www.mdsbeacon.com/news/2012/0...ents-ash-2011/

Unfortunately, I have not seen any additional articles or trials to move it forward and make it a reality. I am thinking that because vidaza administration is so fast relative to other treatments that the gain in time for the hospitals and clinics may not be enough to justify home administration.

Practically speaking, I think that Vidaza really only has a shelf life of about 2 hours and the docs call it stale after an hour, so I don't know how it would be practical without a medical express delivery service. Who knows?
