A Phase 1 Study of ASP2215 in Combination With Induction and Consolidation Chemotherapy in Patients With Newly Diagnosed Acute Myeloid Leukemia

The purpose of this study is to describe the dose limiting toxicities (DLT) and define the
maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of ASP2215 when combined with cytarabine/idarubicin or
daunorubicin remission induction in a 7+3 schedule. Safety and tolerability of ASP2215 will
also be evaluated. This study will also characterize the pharmacokinetics (PK) of ASP2215
when given in combination with cytarabine/idarubicin or cytarabine/daunorubicin remission
induction and high-dose cytarabine (HiDAC) consolidation therapy in newly diagnosed acute
myeloid leukemia as well as evaluate the effect of ASP2215 on the PK of cytarabine.

This is a four-part trial. In Part 1, subjects will be enrolled to successive cohorts to
determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD). Dose escalation decision will be made based on
DLTs that occur after the first dose of ASP2215 during remission induction. The treatment
will consist of three distinct periods: remission induction, consolidation and maintenance.

In Part 2, subjects will be enrolled into an expansion cohort. Subjects will receive ASP2215
at the MTD established in Part 1 or recommended expansion dose, and will also receive
remission induction, consolidation and maintenance therapy. The DLT observation period during
the expansion cohort will be from the start of dosing of ASP2215 during the first remission
induction treatment until Day 21 of the first consolidation cycle or before the start of the
second consolidation cycle, whichever is sooner; as well as from the start of maintenance
treatment until Day 28 of the second maintenance cycle. If testing at a dose level must be
stopped, then a lower dose may be tested for remaining subjects to be enrolled.

In Part 3, two cohorts will be enrolled to evaluate an alternative anthracycline and ASP2215
schedule. During remission induction, ASP2215 dosing will begin at day 8 and continue for 14
days to day 21. Subjects will be hospitalized during remission induction therapy while
receiving chemotherapy.

In cohort 3A, some subjects will be enrolled to receive 7+3 regimen consisting of cytarabine
and an alternative antracycline, daunorubicin. During remission induction subjects will
receive a 7+3 induction regimen consisting of daunorubicin IV infusion on days 1 through 3
and cytarabine as a continuous infusion on days 1 through 7.

In cohort 3B, some subjects will be enrolled to receive 7+3 regimen consisting of cytarabine
and idarubicin at an alternative dosing schedule for ASP2215 during remission induction.
During remission induction subjects will receive a 7+3 induction regimen consisting of
idarubicin by IV infusion on days 1 through 3 and cytarabine as a continuous infusion on days
1 through 7.

For Part 3, if day 21 bone marrow evaluation shows residual blasts and the bone marrow is not
aplastic, a second induction cycle with the same regimen will be given starting at least 7
days after last dose of ASP2215 and no later than day 35 of the first induction cycle.
Consolidation and Maintenance therapy follow the same schedule and dosage outlined in Part
1.The DLT observation period for dose escalation decisions will be from the start of ASP2215
administration during the first remission induction treatment until day 42 of the last
remission induction treatment cycle or before the start of the first consolidation cycle,
whichever is sooner.

A subject that receives less than 80% of the intended dose of any of the study drugs during
the remission induction period may be replaced.

Part 3 may be expanded for additional subjects to ensure at least some subjects are FLT3 + in
each of the Alternative Anthracycline and Schedule Cohorts.

In Part 4, the effect of continuous ASP2215 exposure during consolidation will be evaluated.

During remission induction, subjects will receive a 7+3 induction regimen consisting of
daunorubicin on days 1 through 3 and cytarabine as a continuous infusion on days 1 through 7.
ASP2215 will be given at the designated dose, once daily starting on day 8, and continued for
14 days until day 21. If day 21 bone marrow evaluation shows residual blasts and the bone
marrow is not aplastic, a second induction cycle with the same regimen will be given starting
at least 7 days after last dose of ASP2215 and no later than day 35 of the first induction
cycle.

Consolidation therapy will follow the same schedule and dosage outlined in Part 1 except for
the ASP2215 schedule. ASP2215 will be given at the designated dose, once daily starting on
day 1 up to day 56, which is the maximum number of days between each consolidation cycle.

Subjects may participate in up to 3 consolidation cycles. Maintenance therapy and
posttreatment will also follow the same schedule and dosage outlined in Part 1.

The DLT observation period will be during the first consolidation cycle only. This will be
from the start of ASP2215 administration (consolidation cycle 1 day 1) until consolidation
cycle 1 day 56 or the next chemotherapy cycle, whichever is sooner.
