Up to 30 months
Number of Participants With Treatment Emergent Adverse Events
From informed consent signed (Day 1) and until 28 days after the last dose of CC-486, or until the treatment discontinuation visit, whichever was later (up to approximately 90 months)

A treatment emergent adverse event is any untoward medical occurrence that begins or worsens after the first dose of study treatment, including any unfavorable sign, symptom, disease, or abnormal lab finding, whether or not related to the product, and may include worsening of pre-existing conditions. A Serious Adverse Event (SAE) is any untoward medical occurrence that results in death, is life-threatening, requires or prolongs hospitalization, causes persistent or significant disability/incapacity, leads to a congenital anomaly/birth defect, or is considered an important medical event requiring intervention to prevent these outcomes.

Percentage of Participants Who Achieved a Complete or Partial Response According to Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST 1.1) Based on an Independent Radiology Assessment (IRA)
Tumor response was assessed every (Q) 6 weeks for the first 3 evaluations then Q 9 weeks until disease progression as of the cut-off date of 08 August 2017; the median duration of treatment was 257 days for the 200 mg dose and 114.5 days for 300 mg dose

Overall response rate was defined as the combined incidence of Complete Response (CR) or Partial Response (PR), confirmed no less than 4 weeks after the criteria for response were first met, based on independent radiology assessment according to RECIST 1.1 criteria. Complete response was defined as the disappearance of all target lesions and non-target lesions; Partial response is at least a 30% decrease from baseline in the sum of diameters of target lesions with no progression of non-target lesions and no new lesions or disappearance of target lesions with persistence of one or more non-target lesions from baseline.

Kaplan Meier Estimate of Progression-Free Survival (PFS) Based on an Independent Radiology Assessment According to RECIST 1.1 Criteria
From Day 1 of documented disease progression; up to data cut off date of 08 August 2017; median follow-up time for censored participants was 12.3 months

PFS was defined as the time from the date of start of the study treatment to the date of disease progression or death (any cause) on or prior to the data cut-off date for the statistical analysis, whichever occurred earlier, based on an independent radiology assessment of response using RECIST v1.1 criteria. Progressive disease was defined as at least a 20% increase in the sum of diameters of target or non-target lesions from nadir or appearance of a new lesion.

The Number of Participants With Dose Limiting Toxicities (DLT)
2 months (Cycles 1 and 2)

A DLT included events that started within 28 days of the first dose of CC-486 in a 28-day cycle, constituted a change from baseline irrespective of outcome, as decided by the investigator to be related to CC-486 including: * ≥ Grade (GR) 3 nausea, diarrhea, or vomiting despite the use of medical support * Other significant nonhematologic toxicity of ≥ GR 3 considered not related to the disease or intercurrent illness • Absolute neutrophil count (ANC) \< 0.5 x 10\^9/L for \> 1 week despite growth factor support * Platelets \< 25 x 10\^9/L for \> 1 week despite transfusion support * Failure of recovery to an ANC ≥ 1.0 x 10\^9/L and/or platelets ≥ 50 x 10\^9/L with a hypocellular marrow by 56 days after the start of a cycle of CC-486 not due to relapse or progressive disease. The maximum tolerated dose is defined as the cohort delivering the highest dose in which no more than 33% of the evaluable subjects had a DLT The safety population included subjects who received ≥ 1 dose of CC-486

Number of Participants With Treatment Emergent Adverse Events (TEAE)
From the first dose of investigational product (IP) up to 28 days after the last dose of IP. The median duration of exposure was 252.5 days overall; up to the final data cut off date of 14 July 2017

A TEAE was defined as any AE with an onset date on or after the first dose of IP or any event already present that worsened in severity or increased in frequency after exposure to IP up to 28 days after the last dose. In addition, an AE that occurred beyond the timeframe and was assessed by the doctor as possibly related to IP was considered to be treatment-emergent. Severity was assessed using National Cancer Institute Common Toxicity Terminology Criteria for AEs (NCI CTCAE) version 4.0, where 1= Mild; 2= Moderate; 3= Severe; 4= Life-threatening; 5= Death related to AE. Serious AEs resulted in death, were life-threatening, required or prolonged inpatient hospitalization, resulted in persistent or significant disability/incapacity, congenital anomaly, or resulted in a medical event that may have jeopardized the patient or required medical or surgical intervention to prevent one of the outcomes above.

Number of participants with adverse events
Up to 3 years

An adverse event (AE) is any noxious, unintended, or untoward medical occurrence that may appear or worsen in a subject during the course of a study. It may be a new intercurrent illness, a worsening concomitant illness, an injury, or any concomitant impairment of the subject's health, including laboratory test values, regardless of etiology. Any worsening (i.e., any clinically significant adverse change in the frequency or intensity.

Frequently asked questions about CC-486

What is CC-486 used for?

CC-486 is an investigational oral small molecule being studied for use in oncology, specifically in acute myeloid leukemia, nasopharyngeal neoplasms, hematologic neoplasms, and urinary bladder neoplasms. It is being evaluated as maintenance therapy after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation and in combination therapy for acute myeloid leukemia.

What does CC-486 target?

CC-486 is an oral formulation of azacitidine, a nucleoside metabolic inhibitor that works by incorporating into DNA and RNA, leading to hypomethylation and direct cytotoxicity. It targets rapidly dividing cells, including cancer cells, by inhibiting DNA methyltransferase, which results in reduced DNA methylation and reactivation of tumor suppressor genes.

Who makes CC-486?

CC-486 is being developed by Bristol-Myers Squibb Company, which trades under the ticker symbol BMY on the New York Stock Exchange. The company is conducting clinical trials to evaluate the safety and efficacy of this oral azacitidine formulation across multiple oncology indications.

What phase is CC-486 in?

CC-486 is currently in Phase 2 clinical development. It has completed Phase 1 trials and is being studied in an active Phase 2 trial in China for acute myeloid leukemia. The drug is investigational and has not been approved by regulatory authorities for any indication.

What clinical trials is CC-486 in?

CC-486 has been studied in several clinical trials, including NCT01835587, a completed Phase 1 study as maintenance therapy after allogeneic stem cell transplant in AML or MDS; NCT02494258, a completed Phase 2 long-term safety study in hematological disorders; NCT04887857, a completed Phase 1 combination therapy study in AML; and NCT05413018, an active Phase 2 maintenance therapy study in Chinese AML patients.

Is CC-486 the same as ONUREG?

Yes, CC-486 is also known as ONUREG, which is the brand name for oral azacitidine. In clinical trials, it is referred to as CC-486 (ONUREG, oral azacitidine), indicating that these names refer to the same drug substance.
