These formulations achieve peak concentrations of at least 100 ng/mL and maintain therapeutic efficacy over 90 minutes, with a maximum plasma concentration of at least 200 ng/mL. The formulations are designed to release the drug in the stomach environment, where 5-azacytidine is primarily metabolized, and achieve this therapeutic window without enteric coating.
