Six oral presentations will detail new data on the outcomes of all-oral regimens containing azacitidine and cedazuridine or decitabine and cedazuridine in patients with myelodysplastic syndromes, chronic myelomonocytic leukemia or acute myeloid leukemia
PRINCETON, N.J., Nov. 13, 2025 — Taiho Oncology, Inc., a company developing and commercializing novel treatments for hematologic malignancies and solid tumors, announced the presentation of new data from 14 studies across company-sponsored and company-funded externally led studies at the 67th American Society of Hematology (ASH) Annual Meeting and Exposition, to be held Dec. 6-9, 2025, in Orlando, Florida.
Taiho Oncology will share findings from clinical trials in two oral presentations and evidence from real-world studies in two online abstracts.
- The oral presentations will highlight results from the Phase 2 part of ASTX030-01, a randomized, open-label, crossover trial comparing oral combination of azacitidine and cedazuridine to subcutaneous azacitidine and the Phase 2 portion of the Phase 1/2 trial ASTX727-03 of low-dose versus standard-dose oral decitabine and cedazuridine in patients with lower-risk myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS).
- The two online posters will present real-world data on U.S. adults with acute myeloid leukemia (AML), describing treatment patterns and outcomes with hypomethylating agent (HMA) plus venetoclax, and evaluating the time burden of initiating parenteral HMA-based therapy in routine practice.
Additionally, 10 presentations – including four oral presentations – led by independent investigators will feature data from Taiho-funded investigator-initiated or collaborative studies. These presentations will highlight:
- Results from a UK multicenter Phase 2 randomized trial comparing ASTX727 with hydroxycarbamide or best supportive care in advanced MDS/ myeloproliferative neoplasm (MPN).
- Data from a Phase 2 study evaluating the all-oral combination of ASTX727, venetoclax and revumenib in newly diagnosed AML patients with NPM1m, KMT2Ar or NUP98r AML mutations.
- Results of a Phase 1/2 clinical trial of the combination of oral decitabine/cedazuridine with the venetoclax in patients with untreated high-risk MDS and chronic myeloid leukemia (CMML).
- Safety and efficacy results from a Phase 1/2 trial evaluating an all-oral combination of ASTX727, venetoclax and gilteritinib in both relapsed refractory and newly diagnosed FLT3-mutated AML, high-risk MDS or MPN.
“As the leader of oral HMA development, we’re excited that these data will be featured in six oral presentations at the ASH Annual Meeting,” said Harold Keer, MD, PhD, Taiho Oncology Chief Medical Officer. “These data highlight our increasing understanding of novel oral regimens in hematology. We are invested in developing treatments that have the potential to improve flexibility and lower the treatment burden for patients, and collaborating with leading institutions, evidenced by our continued support of independent clinical research to advance cancer care. We look forward to participating in the essential scientific exchange that contributes to progress in hematology at the ASH Annual Meeting.”
Data being presented by Taiho Oncology and its partners at the 2025 ASH Annual Meeting and Exposition include:
