Dacogen
Hi all!
This could be my imagination, but it seems like I'm seeing a lot of folks lately on marrowforums who are being started on Dacogen instead of Vidaza. I know, early on, there was a definite preference for Vidaza, because the trial that got it approved by the FDA showed better results than the somewhat flawed trial for Dacogen.
I'm wondering if something has happened that I missed to flip this on its head and make Dacogen the preferred therapy. I have to admit that I didn't keep up with my reading as well as I should have while I was taking a vacation from thinking about MDS. So maybe I missed something.
If I did, I'll bet Birgitta or DanL caught it. Someone fill me in on why so many folks seem to be getting Dacogen instead of Vidaza.
Take Care!
Greg
