Brief Summary  

This is randomized, two treatment, four period, full replicate, crossover, bioequivalence study between test and reference product in patients diagnosed with acute myeloid leukaemia (AML) who achieved first complete remission (CR) or complete remission with incomplete blood count recovery (CRi) following intensive induction chemotherapy and are not able to complete intensive curative therapy will be enrolled after getting written informed consent.

 All eligible patients will be randomly assigned to receive a single dose of 300 mg Azacitidine of either test product (two doses, one dose in each period) or the reference product (two doses, one dose in each period) with 240 ml of water after atleast 10 hours of overnight fasting on each night using IWRS . Patients will be randomized into two treatment sequence groups, sequence 1 (TRTR) and sequence 2 (RTRT), where T represents the test product and R represents the reference product).

The study consists of a screening period of 14 days and 4 treatment periods of 1 day each, of the same treatment cycle (Period I [Day 1], Period II [Day 2], Period III [Day 3] and Period IV [Day 4]).

Total duration of study will be 32 days (Approximately) for each patient  consists of a screening period of 14 days prior to first study drug administration wherein:

Check in on Day -1

Study drug administration on Day 1 (period-I), Day 2 (period-II), Day 3 (period-III) and Day 4 (Period-IV).

Discharge on Day 4 after completion of study activities.
