Am I eligible for the Onureg patient assistance program?

To find out if you are eligible for Onureg assistance you can apply online using our enrollment application. Each pharmaceutical company sets its eligibility criteria, and we will review your application individually to determine if you may be eligible. The three main factors to consider are:

• I am a permanent, legal resident of the United States or Puerto Rico
• I am uninsured or my insurance doesn’t cover my medication
• I meet certain income eligibility requirements

How do I apply for the Onureg patient assistance program?

Our application process aims to make it as easy as possible to apply for the Onureg patient assistance program. The first step is to complete our online enrollment application. We will ask you for details about your healthcare provider, your insurance plan, and your household income as this information is required by the pharmaceutical companies. We may be able to help you apply for other patient assistance programs too, so be sure to tell us about any medications you are taking as well as Onureg.

NiceRx will review your application and determine whether you may be eligible for Onureg assistance. If so, we will handle the full enrollment process for you and prepare all required documents for your healthcare provider to sign. Once you are successfully enrolled in the Onureg patient assistance program, we will help you manage your prescription refills by requesting refills on your behalf throughout your enrollment period. At the end of your enrollment period, we will contact you for updated information and seek to re-enroll you so you can continue to access affordable Onureg.

What is Onureg?

Onureg (azacitidine tablets) is an FDA (U.S. Food and Drug Administration)-approved medication manufactured by Bristol-Myers Squibb. Onureg is a trademark of Celgene Corporation, a Bristol Myers Squibb company. It is used for patients above 18 years of age with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) who had first complete remission (CR) or complete remission with incomplete blood count recovery (CRi) following intensive induction chemotherapy with or without recovery of blood cell counts, and who are unable to complete intensive curative therapy.

The efficacy of Onureg was investigated in Quazar AML-001, a multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial, and based on the overall survival (OS). Clinical trials demonstrate a significant improvement in overall survival for patients randomized to Onureg compared to placebo.

What doses of Onureg are available?

Onureg is available as film-coated tablets, in the following doses: 200 mg or 300 mg.

The recommended dose is 300 mg orally once daily with or without food. Swallow the tablets whole. Take on days 1 to 14 of each 28-day cycle. You should carry on taking Onureg until disease progression or unacceptable levels of toxicity occur. Monitor complete blood count every other week for the first 2 cycles and before starting each cycle thereafter.

Please see full Prescribing Information to ensure safe and effective use of Onureg. Always speak with your healthcare provider about any changes to your dose so they can monitor and evaluate your condition.

Onureg active ingredients

Azacitidine is a pyrimidine nucleoside analog of cytidine that inhibits DNA/RNA methyltransferases. Azacitidine is bound into DNA and RNA following uptake at a cellular level and transformation by enzymes to nucleotide triphosphates.

The binding of azacitidine into the DNA of cancer cells in vitro, including acute myeloid leukemia cells, prevents DNA methyltransferases, reduces DNA methylation, and changes gene expression, as well as re-expression of genes regulating tumor suppression and cell growth. The binding of azacitidine into the RNA of cancer cells, including leukemic cells, inhibits RNA methyltransferases, reduces RNA methylation, decreases RNA stability, and decreases the production of protein.
