DemylocanTM is indicated for the treatment of adult patients with:  Myelodysplastic Syndromes (MDS) including previously treated and untreated, de novo and secondary MDS of all French-American-British subtypes (refractory anemia, refractory anemia with ringed sideroblasts, refractory anemia with excess blasts, refractory anemia with excess blasts in transformation, and chronic myelomonocytic leukemia) and intermediate-1, intermediate-2, and high-risk International Prognostic Scoring System (IPSS) groups.

1 Pediatrics Pediatrics (< 18 years of age): No clinical efficacy and safety data are available to Health Canada; therefore, Health Canada has not authorized an indication for pediatric use (see WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS, Special Populations).

2 Geriatrics Geriatrics (≥ 65 years of age): The majority of patients with MDS in the clinical trials were ≥ 65 years of age. No overall differences in safety and efficacy have been identified between younger patients and those ≥ 65 years of age although greater sensitivity of some older individuals cannot be ruled out (see WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS, Special Populations).
