Exclusion Criteria:

- Medical Conditions:

1. Known active hepatitis B (e.g., hepatitis B surface antigen [HBsAg] reactive), or hepatitis C (e.g., hepatitis C virus ribonucleic acid [HCV RNA] is detected), or chronic hepatitis B or C infection or human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection in medical history, with the following exceptions:

   1. Those with a history of hepatitis with a negative polymerase chain reaction (either qualitative or quantitative) OR have documentation of stable disease with aspartate aminotransferase (AST)/serum glutamic oxaloacetic transaminase and alanine aminotransferase (ALT)/serum glutamic pyruvic transaminase <2.0×upper limit of normal (ULN) may be eligible for this study.
   2. Participants with history of HIV who have an undetectable viral load for the prior 3 months, and who agree to maintain antiviral therapy, may be eligible for the study.
2. Significant medical diseases or conditions, as assessed by the investigators and sponsor, that would substantially increase the risk benefit ratio of participating in the study. This includes, but is not limited to, acute myocardial infarction within the last 6 months, unstable angina, uncontrolled diabetes mellitus, significant active infections, and congestive heart failure New York Heart Association Class III-IV.
3. Known inherited or acquired bleeding disorders that require medication or medical intervention.

4. Second malignancy, except treated basal cell or localized squamous skin carcinomas, localized prostate cancer, or other malignancies for which participants are not on active anticancer therapies and have had no evidence of active malignancy for at least ≥1 year.

   -Prior/Concomitant Therapy:

5. Immediate eligibility for an allogeneic SCT, as determined by the investigator, with an available donor.
6. Prior therapy for MDS with chemotherapy, allogenic SCT, or ≥1 full cycle of treatment with any HMA.
7. History of therapy-related MDS, MDS evolving from a pre-existing myeloproliferative neoplasm (MPN), MDS/MPN including chronic myelomonocytic leukemia (CMML), atypical chronic myeloid leukemia, juvenile myelomonocytic leukemia, and unclassifiable MDS/MPN.
8. Prior anti-cluster of differentiation 47 (CD47) treatment.

9. Previous SCT within 6 months before first dose administration, active graft-versus-host disease, or requiring transplant-related immunosuppression.

   -Other Exclusions:

10. Known or suspected hypersensitivity to decitabine, cedazuridine, magrolimab, or any of their excipients.
11. Known significant mental illness or other condition such as active alcohol or other substance abuse or addiction that, in the opinion of the investigator, predisposes the participant to high-risk of noncompliance with the protocol.
12. Clinical suspicion of active central nervous system (CNS) involvement by MDS.
13. History of psychiatric illness or substance abuse likely to interfere with the ability to comply with protocol requirements or give informed consent.
14. Pregnant or actively breastfeeding.

Overall Response Rate (ORR)	ORR is defined as percentage of participants with CR, partial response (PR), marrow complete response (mCR), and hematologic improvement (HI).	Up to approximately 44 months
Rate of Hematologic Improvement (HI)	HI will include HI with Erythroid (HI-E), HI with Neutrophil (HI-N), or HI with Platelet (HI-P) based on the 2006 International Working Group Criteria (IWG 2006).

Only RBC transfusions given for Hgb ≤9.0 g/dL. HI-P: Absolute increase ≥30x10^9/L starting >20x10^9/L platelets (PLTs); Increase from <20x10^9/L to >20x10^9/L and by≥100%. HI-N: ≥100% increase, absolute increase>0.5x10^9/L.	Up to approximately 44 months
Duration of Progression Free Survival (PFS)		Up to approximately 44 months
Leukemia-free Survival (LFS)	LFS is defined as the number of days from date of randomization to date when bone marrow or peripheral blood blasts reach ≥20%, or death.	Up to approximately 44 months
Percentage of Participants With Minimal Residual Disease (MRD)-Negative Status		Day 1 of each 28-day Cycle starting from Cycle 3 up to end of study (approximately 44 months)
Duration of Response (DOR)		Up to approximately 44 months
Overall Survival (OS)		Up to approximately 44 months
Number of Participants With International Prognostic Scoring System for Myelodysplastic Syndromes (IPSS-M) Score	The IPSS-M is an algorithm that uses clinical features of participants with MDS and assigns a prognostic score (0=good and increasing in risk by half-grades with the top score outlined below) for three prognostic variables: Marrow blasts (score 0-2.0); Karyotype (score 0-1.0); Cytopenias: neutrophil, platelets, and Hg counts (score 0-0.5). The three individual scores are summed resulting in a full range of 0- 3.5 and placed into risk categories: 0 = low risk; 0.5-1.0 = intermediate-1 risk; 1.5-2.0 = intermediate-2 risk; and >=2.5 = high risk. Higher scores indicate worst outcome.	At screening
Number of Participants With p53 Mutation		At screening
