Brief Summary

This is an open label study of the dose and duration of an orally administered lysine-specific demethylase 1 (LSD1) inhibitor, bomedemstat, in patients with high-risk acute myeloid leukemia (AML) and high-risk myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS). Some participants may also receive all-trans retinoic acid (ATRA; also known as tretinoin and Vesanoid®) in combination with bomedemstat. This study investigates the following:

• The safety and tolerability of bomedemstat with and without ATRA
• The pharmacodynamic effect of different doses of bomedemstat and treatment durations, as well as bomedemstat administered in combination with ATRA
• The pharmacokinetics of bomedemstat with and without ATRA

  AEs were graded for severity on a scale of 1 to 5 using CTCAE criteria. Grade 1=mild; asymptomatic or mild symptoms; clinical or diagnostic observations only; or intervention not indicated. Grade 2=moderate, minimal, local, or noninvasive intervention indicated; or limiting age-appropriate instrumental activities of daily living. Grade 3=severe or medically significant but not immediately life-threatening; hospitalization or prolongation of hospitalization indicated; disabling; or limiting self-care.

Unbound plasma concentrations of bomedemstat were estimated by assuming that protein binding was 60.57%. For the pharmacokinetic analysis, plasma concentrations below the assay limit of quantitation (LOQ) that occurred from predose to the first concentration ≥LOQ were treated as 0 and those that occured thereafter were treated as missing. The LOQ of the assay was 1 ng/mL. Per protocol, the Cmax was determined for participants in Cohort 1. The LOQ of the assay was 1 ng/mL. The Cmax of bomedemstat in unbound plasma is presented.
