Hi - The trial, I believe, is to see if the oral Vidaza is as effective as injections - which would be great. I've heard it can be hard on the stomach and it isn't clear if the oral form is better for that reason, even if it works as well as the injectable - but the verdict is not in. If he really needs it and is having a bad reaction to the oral, then he may want to try the injectable.
Good luck
Paul
