Study Description

Brief Summary:

This is a phase 1b, multi-arm, open-label study of HDM201 in combination with MBG453 or venetoclax in subjects with AML or high-risk MDS.

For all subjects, TP53wt status must be characterized by, at a minimum, no mutations noted in exons 5, 6, 7 and 8.

Two treatment arms will enroll subjects in parallel to characterize the safety, tolerability, PK, PD and preliminary antitumor activity of HDM201+MBG453 (treatment arm 1) and HDM201+venetoclax (treatment arm 2).

• In the treatment arm 1, subjects will receive HDM201 in combination with MBG453.
• In the treatment arm 2, subjects will receive HDM201 in combination with venetoclax. Venetoclax dose will be gradually increased (ramp-up) over a period of 4 to 5 days to achieve the daily target dose tested that will be subsequently continued.

Upon the completion of the escalation part, MTD(s) and/or RD(s) of HDM201 in combination with MBG453 or venetoclax in AML and high-risk MDS subjects will be determined for each treatment arm.
