Summary
Brief summary (as posted)
The purpose of this study is to evaluate three things. The first being whether azacitidine is absorbed in the body at the same rate or proportion for different concentrations. The second is to determine the effect renal impairment has or does not have on the absorption of azacitidine. The third is to determine if azacitidine is safe and well tolerated in patients with renal function impairment.

- Azacitidine 25 mg/m^2
- description
- Participants with normal renal function received a single subcutaneous dose of azacitidine 25 mg/m\^2 on Day 1. Participants could continue treatment in the extension phase, which allowed up to 6 cycles of treatment with 75 mg/m\^2 daily on Days 1-7 of each 28-day cycle.
