Indications & Clinical Uses

  • Inaqovi is indicated for hematologic disorders that involve abnormal DNA methylation.
  • Myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS): improves blood cell production and delays progression to acute leukemia.
  • Chronic myelomonocytic leukemia (CMML): reduces disease activity and may extend survival.
  • Myelodysplastic syndrome with 5q deletion: provides disease‑modifying benefit in patients with this cytogenetic abnormality.

How It Works

  • Decitabine incorporates into DNA and irreversibly inhibits DNA methyltransferase enzymes, causing hypomethylation and re‑activation of silenced tumor‑suppressor genes. Cedazuridine blocks cytidine deaminase, preventing rapid degradation of decitabine and thereby increasing its oral bioavailability, allowing effective systemic exposure after tablet administration.

Side Effects

Inaqovi may be associated with a range of adverse reactions, which are typically categorized by frequency and severity.

Common Side Effects

  • Nausea: mild to moderate gastrointestinal upset.
  • Fatigue: decreased energy levels.
  • Myelosuppression: reduced white blood cells, red cells, and platelets.
  • Diarrhea: loose stools.

Serious or Rare Side Effects

  • Severe infection: febrile neutropenia requiring hospitalization.
  • Pulmonary toxicity: interstitial pneumonitis or fibrosis.

Precautions & Warnings

  • Before initiating therapy, clinicians should consider several safety measures.
  • Monitoring blood counts: perform regular CBC to detect myelosuppression.
  • Liver function: assess hepatic enzymes before and during treatment.
  • Renal function: evaluate kidney function as clearance may be affected.
  • Pregnancy: avoid use; teratogenic potential is unknown and contraindicated in pregnancy.
  • Concomitant immunosuppressants: use caution due to heightened infection risk.
  • Store at ambient temperature: keep below 25°C in the original pack, protect from moisture.

Avoid Interactions

Inaqovi can interact with other medicines, requiring attention to potential effects.

Major Interactions (Avoid)

  • Strong CYP3A4 inducers: may reduce cedazuridine exposure.
  • Anticoagulants (warfarin): increased bleeding risk due to thrombocytopenia.

Moderate Interactions (Monitor Closely)

  • Other myelosuppressive agents: additive bone‑marrow suppression.
  • Live vaccines: risk of infection due to immunosuppression.
  • Proton pump inhibitors: may affect absorption of cedazuridine.

Frequently Asked Questions

Inaqovi is indicated for the treatment of adult patients with myelodysplastic syndromes—including those with a 5q deletion—and chronic myelomonocytic leukemia. It is a disease‑modifying therapy that aims to improve blood counts and delay progression to acute leukemia.

Decitabine is a nucleoside analog that incorporates into DNA and irreversibly inhibits DNA methyltransferase enzymes. This causes hypomethylation of genomic DNA, re‑activating silenced tumor‑suppressor genes and leading to differentiation or apoptosis of malignant hematopoietic cells.

The prescribed dose of Inaqovi is determined by the treating physician based on the patient’s disease characteristics, organ function, and prior therapy. Each tablet contains a fixed combination of 35 mg decitabine and 100 mg cedazuridine and is taken orally on the schedule recommended by the clinician.

Safety of Inaqovi in pregnancy has not been established; animal data suggest potential teratogenic effects, so it should be avoided in pregnant women. Breastfeeding is not recommended because the drug may be excreted in milk and could affect the infant. Consultation with a specialist is essential.

To order Inaqovi, submit an enquiry on the product page at gnhindia.com specifying the required quantity. GNH India supplies hospitals, pharmacies and procurement teams across international markets, verifies trade or institutional credentials, and then provides pricing, availability, shipping details (including any cold‑chain requirements) and import documentation.

The primary alternative is intravenous decitabine or the hypomethylating agent azacitidine. Inaqovi combines decitabine with cedazuridine to enable oral administration, offering comparable efficacy while avoiding infusion‑related logistics. Azacitidine is also available orally but uses a different formulation; choice depends on patient preference, tolerability and clinical judgment.

Store Inaqovi at ambient temperature below 25 °C in its original packaging. Protect the tablets from moisture and direct light. Do not refrigerate or freeze. Keep out of reach of children and handle with clean, dry hands.

Inaqovi is taken as an oral tablet with water, usually on a designated day of each treatment cycle as directed by the prescriber. Food does not significantly affect absorption, but patients should follow the exact schedule provided and avoid missing doses without medical advice.

The most serious risks include severe myelosuppression leading to infections such as febrile neutropenia, life‑threatening bleeding due to thrombocytopenia, and pulmonary toxicity such as interstitial pneumonitis. Prompt medical attention is required if signs of infection, unexplained fever, or respiratory symptoms develop.

Inaqovi should not be used by individuals with known hypersensitivity to decitabine, cedazuridine, or any tablet excipients. It is contraindicated in pregnant or breastfeeding women, patients with severe hepatic impairment, and those with uncontrolled active infections. Clinicians must evaluate each patient’s medical history before initiating therapy.
