Interventions

• Emavusertib — DRUG
  Emavusertib is formulated as a tablet for oral administration for BID dosing in consecutive 28-day cycles. Emavusertib is a novel small molecule inhibitor of interleukin-1 receptor-associated kinase 4 (IRAK4). IRAK4 kinase plays an essential role in toll-like receptor (TLR) and interleukin-1 receptor (IL-1R) signaling pathways and these pathways are frequently dysregulated in non-Hodgkin's lymphoma and AML/MDS malignancies.
• Venetoclax — DRUG
  Ventoclax is B-cell lymphoma-2 (BCL-2) inhibitor. Venetoclax will be administered at 100 mg orally (Day 1) per the product label at the same time each day with a ramp up over 3 days to 400 mg for 21days of a 28-day Cycle. Second and subsequent cycles start with target dose level. This arm of the study has been closed to enrollment.
• Emavusertib — DRUG
  Emavusertib is formulated as a tablet for oral administration for BID dosing for 21 days (Days 1-21) of a 28-day Cycle.

Study Details

This is a multicenter, open-label, Phase 1/2a dose escalation and expansion study of orally administered emavusertib (CA-4948) monotherapy in adult patients with AML or higher- risk Myelodysplastic Syndrome (hrMDS). Patients enrolling in the Phase 1 dose escalation of the study must meet one of the following criteria prior to consenting to the study: * Relapse/refractory (R/R) AML with FMS-like tyrosine kinase-3 (FLT3) mutations who have been previously treated with a FLT3 inhibitor * R/R AML with spliceosome mutations of splicing factor 3B subunit 1 (SF3B1) or U2AF1 * R/R hrMDS with spliceosome mutations of SF3B1 or U2 small nuclear RNA auxiliary factor 1 (U2AF1) * Number of pretreatments: 1 or 2 The Phase 2a Dose Expansion will be in 3 Cohorts of patients: 1. R/R AML with FLT3 mutations who have been previously treated with a FLT3 inhibitor; 2. R/R AML with spliceosome mutations of SF3B1 or U2AF1; and 3. R/R hrMDS (Revised International Prognostic Scoring System \[IPSS-R\] score \> 3.5) with spliceosome mutations of SF3B1 or U2AF1. All patients above have had ≤ 2 lines of prior systemic anticancer treatment. In previous versions of this protocol there was a Phase 1b portion of the study, in which patients with AML or hrMDS received CA-4948 in combination with venetoclax. This part of the study is no longer open for enrollment.

Arms

• Experimental: Emavusertib (CA-4948) dose escalation
  Patients receive emavusertib monotherapy BID daily. Cycles repeat every 28 days in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.
• Experimental: Emavusertib dose escalation + Venetoclax
  The starting dose for emavusertib will be 200 mg BID for 21 days of a 28-day Cycle. Anticipated emavusertib doses will be 200 and 300 mg BID. Venetoclax will be administered at 100 mg orally (Day 1) per the product label at the same time each day with a ramp up over 3 days to 400 mg for 21days of a 28-day Cycle. Second and subsequent cycles start with target dose level.
• Experimental: Emavusertib monotherapy dose expansion
  The Expansion phase will begin once the RP2D from Phase 1 Dose Escalation phase has been identified. There will be 3 Cohorts and patients will be assigned to each Cohort based on baseline disease.
