About this trial

The main purpose of this study is to identify a safe and potentially effective dose of tuspetinib to be used in future studies in study participants diagnosed with acute myeloid leukemia (AML), myelodysplastic syndromes with increased blasts grade 2 (MDS-IB2), or chronic myelomonocytic leukemia (CMML) that is relapsed or refractory after at least one line of prior therapy, or in study participants with newly diagnosed AML. Tuspetinib will be administered as a single agent or in combination with other drugs (venetoclax or venetoclax plus azacitidine), as specified for each part of the study.

Eligibility criteria

Qualifiers

Refractory to at least 1 cycle of prior therapy

Relapsed after achieving remission with a prior therapy

Study participant has an Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status ≤ 2.

Study participant's interval from prior treatment to time of study drug administration is at least 2 weeks for cytotoxic agents (except hydroxyurea given for controlling blast cells), at 4 weeks for biologic or cellular immunotherapies, or least 5 half-lives for prior experimental agents or noncytotoxic agents, including immunosuppressive therapy post hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT). Upon discussion with the Medical Monitor, a shorter than stated washout period may be considered provided that the study participant has recovered from any clinically relevant safety issue and recovered to Grade ≤ 1 toxicity from prior therapies.

Disqualifiers

Study participant was diagnosed with acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL).

Study participant has known BCR-ABL-positive leukemia.

Study participant has an active malignancy other than AML, MDS-IB2, or CMML.

Study participant has persistent non-hematological toxicities of ≥ Grade 2 (CTCAE v4.03), with symptoms and objective findings, from prior AML, MDS-IB2, or CMML treatment (including chemotherapy, kinase inhibitors, immunotherapy, experimental agents, radiation, or surgery)
