- Hypomethylating-agent naive CMML regardless of LILRB4 expression levels.
- Newly diagnosed high LILRB4 expression monocytic AML patients considered to be ineligible for standard induction therapy.
- Patients must be amenable to serial BM aspirates/biopsies and peripheral blood sampling during the study.
- Patients must be able to understand and willing to sign an informed consent. A legally authorized representative may consent.
- Patients must have an ECOG performance status of 0 to 2

Exclusion Criteria:
- Patients who have previously received a monoclonal antibody therapy targeting LILRB4.
- Patients who have undergone HSCT within 60 days of the first dose of IO-202.
- Patients who received systemic anti-cancer therapy or radiotherapy <7 days prior to their first day of study drug administration (Hydroxyurea or leukapheresis is allowed up to 24 hours prior to the first dose.
- Patients who received an investigational agent <7 days prior to their first day of study drug administration.
- Patients for whom potentially curative anti-cancer therapy is available.
- Patients who are pregnant or breastfeeding.
- Patients with uncontrolled, active infection.
- Patients with known hypersensitivity to any of the components of the IO-202 formulation.
- Patients with known pulmonary lesions and/or history of pneumonitis or interstitial lung disease.
