    1. Cytotoxic chemotherapy within 3 weeks prior. Any encountered treatment-related toxicities (excepting alopecia) must be stabilized or resolved to ≤Grade 1.
    2. Monoclonal antibodies, biologics, or immunotherapy within 4 weeks prior. Any encountered treatment-related toxicities must be stabilized or resolved to ≤Grade 1.
    3. Molecularly targeted drug or other investigational drugs, without the potential for delayed toxicity, within 4 weeks of the first dose of study treatment or 5 half-lives (minimum 14 days), whichever is shorter. Any encountered treatment-related toxicities must be stabilized or resolved to ≤Grade 1.
    4. Major surgery or radiation within 4 weeks prior to first dose (palliative radiotherapy to a single lesion within 2 weeks).
  9. Prior treatment with MDM2 antagonist
  10. Inability to swallow oral medication or inability or unwillingness to comply with the administration requirements related to ASTX295.

    Participants are excluded from the Phase 2 part of the study if any of the following additional criteria apply:

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Phase 1a: Safety and tolerability of ASTX295 including determination of maximum tolerated dose (MTD), and/or recommended dose for expansion (RDE) to Phase 1b

    Time frame: From the date of the first dose until 30 days after discontinuation of study treatment

  2. Phase 1b: Recommended Phase 2 dose (RP2D) and regimen of ASTX295 to proceed to Phase 2

    The RP2D will be based on incidence and severity of AEs, including SAEs and will be determined by the data and safety review committee (DSRC)

    Time frame: From the date of the first dose until 30 days after discontinuation of study treatment, an average of 6 months to 1 year

  3. Phase 2: Disease control rate (DCR) in Cohort 1

    DCR will be calculated in Cohort 1 as the number of subjects whose response at Week 16 is CR, partial response (PR), or stable disease, divided by the total number of subjects evaluable for DCR analysis.

    Time frame: From the date of the first dose until Week 16

  4. Phase 2: Overall response rate (ORR) in Cohorts 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6

    ORR in Cohorts 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6 will be calculated as the number of subjects whose best response is CR or PR, divided by the total number of subjects evaluable for ORR analysis.

    Time frame: From the date of the first dose until study treatment discontinuation, an average of 6 months to 1 year

Secondary outcomes

  1. Phase 1: Preliminary clinical activity of ASTX295 as assessed by disease control rate (DCR)

    DCR will be calculated as the number of subjects whose response at Week 16 is CR, PR, or stable disease, divided by the total number of subjects evaluable for DCR analysis

    Time frame: From the date of the first dose until Week 16

  2. Phase 1: Preliminary clinical activity as assessed by objective response rate (ORR) of ASTX295

    ORR will be calculated as the number of subjects whose best response is CR or PR, divided by the total number of subjects evaluable for ORR analysis

    Time frame: From the date of the first dose until study treatment discontinuation, an average of 6 months to 1 year

  3. Phase 2: Safety profile of ASTX295

    Incidence and severity of adverse events (AEs) including serious adverse events (SAEs)

    Time frame: From the date of the first dose until 30 days after discontinuation of study treatment, an average of 6 months to 1 year

  4. Phase 2: Progression free survival (PFS)

    PFS is defined as the time from date of the first dose until the earliest date of disease progression or death from any cause, whichever comes first

    Time frame: Up to approximately 1 year

  5. Phase 2: Overall survival (OS)

    OS is defined as the time from the date of first dose to date of death due to any cause

    Time frame: Up to approximately 1 year

  6. Phase 2: Overall response rate (ORR) in Cohort 1

    ORR in Cohort 1 will be calculated as the number of subjects whose best response is CR or PR, divided by the total number of subjects evaluable for ORR analysis.

    Time frame: From the date of the first dose until study treatment discontinuation, an average of 6 months to 1 year

  7. Pharmacokinetic (PK) profile of ASTX295 (area under the curve [AUC])

    Time frame: Blood will be collected during Cycles 1 and 2 in Phase 1, Cycles 1 and 3 in Phase 2 (each cycle is 28 days)

  8. Pharmacokinetic (PK) profile of ASTX295 (minimum concentration [Cmin])

    Time frame: Blood will be collected during Cycles 1 and 2 in Phase 1, Cycles 1 and 3 in Phase 2 (each cycle is 28 days)

  9. Pharmacokinetic (PK) profile of ASTX295 (maximum concentration [Cmax])

    Time frame: Blood will be collected during Cycles 1 and 2 in Phase 1, Cycles 1 and 3 in Phase 2 (each cycle is 28 days)

  10. Pharmacokinetic (PK) profile of ASTX295 (time to reach maximum concentration [Tmax])

    Time frame: Blood will be collected during Cycles 1 and 2 in Phase 1, Cycles 1 and 3 in Phase 2 (each cycle is 28 days)

  11. Pharmacokinetic (PK) profile of ASTX295 (elimination half-life [t½])

    Time frame: Blood will be collected during Cycles 1 and 2 in Phase 1, Cycles 1 and 3 in Phase 2 (each cycle is 28 days)
