Oral dosage form providing equivalent decitabine levels to iv infusion
A recently granted patent (Publication Number: US11963971B2) discloses a solid oral dosage form designed for the administration of 100 mg cedazuridine and 35 mg decitabine to humans. The dosage form includes various excipients such as lactose monohydrate, hydroxypropyl methyl cellulose, croscarmellose sodium, colloidal silicon dioxide, and magnesium stearate, with the option of a coating. When taken daily, this dosage form is claimed to provide plasma levels of decitabine that result in a 5-day AUC equivalent to that of a daily intravenous dose of decitabine of 20 mg/m2 administered as a 1-hour infusion.
Furthermore, the patent claims that the solid oral dosage form can also deliver a pharmacodynamic effect comparable to that of the intravenous decitabine dose, specifically in terms of DNA demethylation. The dosage form can be in the form of a tablet or a capsule, with the possibility of including a coating, such as the specified Opadry II 85F15458 Red color coating. The ratio of AUC for decitabine on day 2 versus day 1 is also highlighted, falling within the range of about 1.5:1 to about 2:1 upon daily administration to humans. These claims emphasize the potential of this solid oral dosage form to provide an effective and convenient alternative to intravenous administration for the specified therapeutic purposes.
