Abstract
Pharmaceutical formulations, kits and vessels are provided for delivering decitabine to a patient suffering from a disease in need of treatment with decitabine. The pharmaceutical formulation comprises decitabine solvated in a non-aqueous solvent that comprises glycerin, propylene glycol, polyethylene glycol, or combinations. Such formulations are more chemically stable than conventional liquid formulations of decitabine containing more than 40% water in volume. The pharmaceutical formulations can be used for any disease that is sensitive to the treatment with decitabine, such as hematological disorders and cancer.
