 Summary: 
 It is hypothesized that significantly more patients would prefer oral
decitabine/cedazuridine to subcutaneous (SC) azacitidine (AZA) due to several factors,
including improved treatment convenience, the reduced risk of nosocomial infections, and
reduced treatment discomfort. However, this hypothesis has not been formally studied in a
controlled setting. This study aims to address this evidence gap and evaluate patient,
primary caregiver (carer), and clinician treatment preference between oral
decitabine/cedazuridine and SC AZA in the treatment of adult patients with International
Prognostic Scoring System-Revised (IPSS-R) intermediate, IPSS intermediate-2, or
high-risk myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS), chronic myelomonocytic leukemia (CMML), or
low-blast (LB) acute myeloid leukemia (AML) and thereby lend further credibility to the
clinical, economic, and patient value of oral decitabine/cedazuridine.

  -  Patient must be able to identify a carer to participate in completing the cTPMQ.
For Carers:
• Primary carer of a patient meeting all of the inclusion criteria (ie, a patient who
meets criteria defined above).
For Clinicians:
• Clinician treating patients meeting all of the inclusion criteria (ie, treats patients
who meet criteria defined above).
Exclusion Criteria:
For Patients:
Patients are excluded from the study if any of the following criteria apply:
  -  Patients with known hypersensitivity to the study treatments oral
     decitabine/cedazuridine or azacitidine.
  -  Patients with advanced malignant hepatic tumors.
  -  Patients with severe renal impairment (creatinine clearance <30 mL/min).
  -  Patients who have received hypomethylating agents (HMA) previously.
  -  Patients who are receiving lenalidomide or are receiving other therapies outside of
     standard of care (SOC).
  -  Receipt of any immunotherapy, any conventional or investigational systemic
     anti-cancer therapy within 5 half-lives of the drug, or within 4 weeks prior to the
     first dose of study treatment (whichever is longer).
  -  Any medical, psychological, social, or other condition which in the view of the
     Investigator is likely to interfere with the study, compliance, or put the patient
     at risk.
  -  Participants who are not fluent in English, or who cannot read or write in English
     will be excluded from the study.
For Carers:
Carers are excluded from the study if any of the following criteria apply:

  -  They are a relative of an employee of the investigational clinic or sponsor (e.g.
     Investigator, study coordinator)
For Clinicians:
• Clinicians will be excluded from participating in the study if they are a relative of
an employee of the investigational clinic or sponsor (e.g. Investigator, Study
Coordinator).
