About this trial
This research is being done to find out more about the potential risks and benefits of early treatment in participants with high risk Clonal Cytopenia of Unknown Significance (CCUS). This study will give eligible CCUS participants the option of either being observed or taking an oral drug as treatment.
The names of the study drug involved in this study is:
-Decitabine/cedazuridine (DEC/CED) (a nucleoside metabolic inhibitor and cytidine deaminase inhibitor).
Eligibility criteria
This trial does not accept healthy volunteersQualifiers
Age ≥18 years.
Hemoglobin (Hgb) <12 g/dL for women and <13g/dL for men
Absolute neutrophil count (ANC) < 1.8 × 109/L*
Platelet count (Plt) <150 × 109/L *Patients known to have a Duffy-null genotype must have anemia (Hgb < 12g/dL for women, Hgb <13g/dL for men) and/or thrombocytopenia (Plt < 150 × 109/L) to be eligible for this study.
Disqualifiers
Concurrent primary malignancy requiring active cytotoxic chemotherapy and/or ionizing radiation therapy.
Known inherited bone marrow failure disorder and/or germline predisposition to hematologic malignancy.
Receipt of anti-cancer therapy including any cytotoxic chemotherapy, ionizing radiation therapy, immunomodulatory agents such as lenalidomide, and targeted anti-cancer therapies including PARP inhibitors within the last 6 months. Patients with complete surgical resection of a tumor are not excluded from this study.
Anti-cancer therapy, including any cytotoxic chemotherapy, ionizing radiation therapy, immunomodulatory agents such as lenalidomide and targeted agents such as PARP inhibitors, planned in the next 6 months. Patients on hormonal adjuvant therapy for nonmetastatic breast and prostate cancer or other minimally-myelosuppressive maintenance therapies for non-metastatic cancer may be eligible at the discretion of the study PI.

DrugCombination of a nucleoside metabolic inhibitor and cytidine deaminase inhibitor, 10mg DEC / 100mg CED tablet, taken orally per protocol.
Treatment groups
Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes
Feasibility Failure Rate (FFR)
FFR is defined by the proportion of eligible subjects with higher risk CCUS who enter the study and opt to participate in the early intervention as opposed to observation only cohort.
Secondary outcomes
Grade 3-5 Treatment-related Toxicity Rate
All grade 3-5 adverse events (AE) with treatment attribution of possibly, probably or definite based on CTCAEv5 that are not resolved in accordance with treatment guidelines were counted. Rate is the percentage of treated participants experiencing at least one of these adverse events as defined during the time of observation.
Treatment Tolerability Rate (TTR)
TTR will be measured by the percentage of participants in the early intervention treatment arm that complete ≥3 cycles of oral DEC/CED.
Hematologic Response Rate (HRR)
HRR defined as proportion of participants achieved hematologic response by 2018 World Health Organization (WHO) International Working Group (IWG) MDS response criteria.
Median Overt Myeloid Neoplasia (MN)-Free Survival
MN-free survival based on the Kaplan-Meier method is defined as the duration of time from study entry to overt myeloid neoplasia diagnosed per the 5th edition of the WHO Classification of Haematolymphoid Tumors.
