Number of Participants With Serious and Non-serious Adverse Events Assessed by the Common Terminology Criteria in Adverse Events (CTCAE v4.0).

Here is the count of participants with serious and non-serious adverse events assessed by the Common Terminology Criteria in Adverse Events (CTCAE v4.0). A non-serious adverse event is any untoward medical occurrence. A serious adverse event is an adverse event or suspected adverse reaction that results in death, a life threatening adverse drug experience, hospitalization, disruption of the ability to conduct normal life functions, congenital anomaly/birth defect or important medical events that jeopardize the patient or subject and may require medical or surgical intervention to prevent one of the previous outcomes mentioned. (NCT00978250)
Timeframe: Date treatment consent signed to date off study, approximately 109 months and 16 days.

Percentage of Participants With (Complete Response (CR) + Partial Response (PR)) to 5-Fluro-2'-Deoxycytidine (FdCyd)

Response was measured using the Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST). Complete response is disappearance of all target lesions. Partial response is at least a 30% decrease in the sum of the longest diameter (LD) of target lesions, taking as reference the baseline sum of the LD. (NCT00978250)

Progression-free Survival (PFS)

Progression-free survival (PFS) is defined as the time interval from start of treatment to documented evidence of disease progression. Disease progression was assessed by the Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) and is at least a 20% increase in the sum of the longest diameter (LD) of target lesions, taking as reference the smallest sum of the LD recorded since the treatment started or the appearance of one or more new lesions.

A non-serious adverse event is any untoward medical occurrence. A serious adverse event is an adverse event or suspected adverse reaction that results in death, a life-threatening adverse drug experience, hospitalization, disruption of the ability to conduct normal life functions, congenital anomaly/birth defect or important medical events that jeopardize the patient or subject and may require medical or surgical intervention to prevent one of the previous outcomes mentioned. Grade 0 is normal, Grade 1 is mild, Grade 2 is moderate, Grade 3 is severe or medically significant but not immediately life-threatening, Grade 4 is life-threatening consequences, and Grade 5 is death related to adverse event.

Radiation Dosimetry Estimates of 5-fluoro-2'-Deoxycytidine (FdCyd) in Humans

Radiation dosimetry was determined based on the first patients. This involved making region of interest measurements on the scan for each major organ and measuring the uptake. Using standard dosimetry software this is converted into mSv/MBq, a standard measure of dosimetry. The software is known as Organ Level INternal Dose Assessment/EXponential Modeling (OLINDA) and is commonly used to generate this kind of data. (NCT01479348)

Overall Survival

Overall survival: It is defined as the time from randomization to the date of death. A subject who has not died will be censored at last known date alive. Overall survival (OS) will be followed continuously while subjects are on the study drug. (NCT02664181)

Time-to-Progression

Time-to-Progression defined as the time from randomization to the date of the first documented tumor progression (per RECIST 1.1) or death due to any cause. Subjects who die without a reported prior progression will be considered to have progressed on the date of their death. Subjects who did not progress or die will be censored on the date of their last evaluable tumor assessment. Subjects who did not have any on study tumor assessments and did not die will be censored on the date they were randomized. Subjects who started any subsequent anti-cancer therapy without a prior reported progression will be censored at the last evaluable tumor assessment prior to initiation of the subsequent anti-cancer therapy. Progression will be assessed every 6 weeks (from the first on-study radiographic assessment) until disease progression is noted. (NCT02664181)

Maximum Tolerated Dose (MTD) of Decitabine

Maximum Tolerated Dose (MTD) is the maximum dose at which fewer than one-third of participants experience dose limiting toxicity (DLT) within the first 6 weeks (two cycles) of decitabine and tetrahydrouridine therapy. If one of three patients at any given dose level experiences DLT, up to three additional patients will be treated at this dose level. If only one of six patients exhibit DLT, subsequent patients will be enrolled into the next higher dose level. As soon as two patients at any given dose level develop DLT, no additional patients will be entered at that level. Subsequent patients will be accrued into the preceding dose level; if DLT is observed in less than two of six patients treated at this lower level, this dose will represent maximum tolerated dose (MTD). A DLT is any Grade 3 or greater toxicity that cannot be attributed to a cause other than study treatment during the first two cycles of Course 1 of therapy such as disease progression or intercurrent illness.

Number of Participants With a Dose Limiting Hematologic Toxicity (DLT)

A DLT is any Grade 3 (severe) or greater toxicity that cannot be attributed to a cause other than study treatment during the first two cycles of Course 1 of therapy such as disease progression or intercurrent illness. (NCT03233724)
Timeframe: First two cycles of Course 1 of therapy

InterventionParticipants (Count of Participants)
Decitabine 0.2mg/kg + Tetrahydrouridine 10mg/kg Sunday, Monday, Tuesday (SuMT)2
Decitabine 0.2mg/kg + Tetrahydrouridine 10mg/kg Monday-Tuesday (MT)2

Number of Participants With Serious and/or Non-serious Adverse Events Assessed by the Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE v5.0)

Here is the number of participants with serious and/or non-serious adverse events assessed by the Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE v5.0). A non-serious adverse event is any untoward medical occurrence. A serious adverse event is an adverse event or suspected adverse reaction that results in death, a life-threatening adverse drug experience, hospitalization, disruption of the ability to conduct normal life functions, congenital anomaly/birth defect or important medical events that jeopardize the patient or subject and may require medical or surgical intervention to prevent one of the previous outcomes mentioned. (NCT03233724)
Timeframe: Date treatment consent signed to date off study, approximately 2 months/10 days, 10 months/29 days, 20 months/30 days for the first, second and third group respectively.

InterventionParticipants (Count of Participants)
Decitabine 0.2mg/kg + Tetrahydrouridine 10mg/kg Sunday, Monday, Tuesday (SuMT)2
Decitabine 0.2mg/kg + Tetrahydrouridine 10mg/kg Monday-Tuesday (MT)2
Decitabine 0.2mg/kg + Tetrahydrouridine 10mg/kg Every (q) Tuesday,Wednesday (TW) x 2 Weeks q3Weeks4

Overall Response Rate

Overall response rate was measured using the Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) v1.1 to determine if the combination of decitabine and tetrahydrouridine is associated with a response rate which exceeds that of Pembrolizumab alone in participants who have programmed death-ligand 1 (PD-L1) expression of at least 50% and those who do not. Complete Response (CR) is disappearance of all target lesions. Partial Response (PR) is at least a 30% decrease in the sum of the diameters of target lesions, taking as reference the baseline sum diameters. Stable Disease (SD) is neither sufficient shrinkage to qualify for PR nor sufficient increase to qualify for PD, taking as reference the smallest sum diameters while on study. Progressive Disease (PD) is at least a 20% increase in the sum of the diameters of target lesions, taking as reference the smallest sum on study. The appearance of one or more new lesions is also considered progressions. (NCT03233724)
Timeframe: Every 10 weeks (± 1 week) until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity or off study criteria is met. Longest participant on study 11 months.
