No overall difference in safety was detected between patients > 65 years of age and younger patients in these myelodysplasia studies. No significant gender differences in safety or efficacy were detected.
Acute myeloid leukemia (AML): Summary of the safety profile: The most common adverse drug reactions reported during treatment with decitabine are pyrexia, anaemia and thrombocytopaenia.
The most common Grade 3/4 adverse drug reactions included pneumonia, thrombocytopaenia, neutropaenia, febrile neutropaenia and anaemia.
It has been reported that patients treated with decitabine had adverse events with an outcome of death during treatment or within 30 days after the last dose of study drug.
In the decitabine treatment group, there was a higher incidence of treatment discontinuation due to adverse events in women compared to men.
Tabulated list of adverse drug reactions: Adverse drug reactions reported in AML patients treated with decitabine are summarised in the table as follows: Within each frequency grouping, adverse drug reactions are presented in order of decreasing seriousness. (See table.)

Description of selected adverse drug reactions: Haematologic adverse drug reactions: The most commonly reported haematologic adverse drug reactions associated with decitabine treatment included febrile neutropaenia, thrombocytopaenia, neutropaenia, anaemia and leukopaenia.
Serious bleeding-related adverse drug reactions, some of which lead to a fatal outcome, such as central nervous system (CNS) haemorrhage and gastrointestinal (GI) haemorrhage, in the context of severe thrombocytopaenia, were reported in patients receiving decitabine.
Haematological adverse drug reactions should be managed by routine monitoring of complete blood counts and early administration of supportive treatments as required. Supportive treatments include, administration of prophylactic antibiotics and/or growth factor support (e.g., G-CSF) for neutropaenia and transfusions for anaemia or thrombocytopaenia according to institutional guidelines.
Infections and infestations adverse drug reactions: Serious infection-related adverse drug reactions, with potentially fatal outcome, such as septic shock, sepsis, pneumonia, and other infections (viral, bacterial and fungal) were reported in patients receiving decitabine.
Gastrointestinal disorders: Occurrences of enterocolitis, including neutropaenic colitis, caecitis have been reported during treatment with decitabine. Enterocolitis may lead to septic complications and may be associated with fatal outcome.
Respiratory, thoracic and mediastinal disorders: Cases of interstitial lung disease (including pulmonary infiltrates, organising pneumonia and pulmonary fibrosis) without signs of infectious aetiology have been reported in patients receiving decitabine.
