Overview

Ziftomenib is an investigational drug in development for the treatment of patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) with certain genetic alterations.

This protocol has 3 separate arms that will investigate the benefits and risks of adding ziftomenib to standard-of-care (SOC) drug treatments in patients who have AML with certain genetic mutations. Both newly diagnosed and relapsed refractory patients with AML will be assigned to different cohorts based on specific study criteria and physician discretion.

The purpose of this study is to assess the safety, tolerability, and early signs of efficacy of ziftomenib in combination with SOC drugs to treat AML.

*  Adequate liver, renal, and cardiac function according to protocol defined criteria
*  A female of childbearing potential must agree to use adequate contraception as well as a double barrier method from the time of screening through 180 days following the last dose of study intervention. A male of childbearing potential must agree to use abstinence or use a double barrier method of contraception from the time of screening through 180 days following the last dose of study intervention

*  For relapsed/refractory cohorts: received chemotherapy, immunotherapy, radiotherapy, or any ancillary therapy that is considered to be investigational \< 14 days prior to the first dose of ziftomenib or within 5 drug half-lives prior to the first dose of study drug
*  Uncontrolled intercurrent illness including, but not limited to, cardiac illness as defined in the protocol
*  Mean QT interval corrected for heart rate by Fredericia's formula (QTcF)
*  Arm A and Arm B: \>480 ms on triplicate ECGs
*  Arm C: \>450 ms on triplicate ECGs
*  Uncontrolled infection
*  Women who are pregnant or lactating
*  An active malignancy and currently receiving chemotherapy for that malignancy or disease that is uncontrolled/progressing
