The tablet formulation was investigated in AML and MDS patients and those after HSCT with or at risk for Graft versus Host Disease (GvHD) only. Maximum duration of exposure to the tablet formulation was shorter than with the oral suspension. Plasma exposure resulting from the tablet formulation was higher than observed with the oral suspension. A higher incidence of adverse reactions cannot be ruled out.
