Phase 1 Study of IACS-010759 in Subjects With Relapsed or Refractory Acute Myeloid

This clinical research study has 2 parts: dose escalation and dose expansion.

The goal of dose escalation in this clinical research study is to find the best dose of
IACS-010759 that can be given to patients with relapsed or refractory AML.

The goal of dose expansion in this clinical research study is to learn if the dose of
IACS-010759 found in the dose escalation part of the study is the best dose to use in future
studies using IACS-010759 in patients with AML.

The safety and tolerability of this drug will also be studied.

This is the first study using IACS-010759 in humans.

This is an investigational study. IACS-010759 is not FDA approved or commercially available.
It is currently being used for research purposes only. The study doctor can explain how the
study drug is designed to work.

Up to 48 participants will take part in this study. All will be enrolled at MD Anderson.

Study Groups:

If you are found to be eligible to take part in this study, you will be assigned to a study
group based on when you joined the study. Up to 6 groups of 3-6 participants will be enrolled
in the dose escalation part of the study. Up to 18 participants will be enrolled in dose
expansion.

If you are enrolled in dose escalation, the dose of IACS-010759 you receive will depend on
when you join this study. The first group of participants will receive the lowest dose level
of IACS-010759. Each new group will receive a higher dose of IACS-010759 than the group
before it, if no intolerable side effects were seen. A new group at a higher dose level may
be started at the same time as an ongoing group receiving a lower dose. If this happens,
participants will be assigned in an alternating manner between the lower dose and higher dose
groups. This will continue until the highest tolerable dose of IACS-010759 is found.

If you are enrolled in the dose expansion part of the study, you will receive the dose level
of IACS-010759 that was found to be the best dose in the escalation part of the study.

In the dose expansion part of the study, 6 participants will also be enrolled in a
food-effect group (described in more detail below) to help researchers understand the effects
of taking the study drug with food.

Study Drug Administration:

Each study cycle is 21 days.

You will take the drug in 2 phases: Induction Phase and Maintenance Phase.

In the Induction Phase, you will take IACS-010759 by mouth one (1) time every day on Days 1-7
of Cycle 1.

At the end of the Induction Phase, you will move on to the Maintenance Phase.

During the Maintenance Phase, you will take IACS-010759 by mouth 3 times each week. The study
doctor will tell you when to take your dose.

You should take each dose with a glass of water and at least 1 hour before or 2 hours after a
meal. If you miss a dose, you should not take another dose until the next scheduled time. If
you are enrolled in the food-effect group, you will take your first dose of IACS-010759
within 30 minutes after eating a high fat meal.

You will be admitted to the hospital on Day 7 of Cycle 1 for 24 hours. This is done so that
you can be checked on for any side effects.

Length of Study:

You may continue to take IACS-010759 for up to 12 cycles. If the doctor thinks it is in your
best interest, you may be able to continue receiving the study drug beyond 12 cycles. You
will no longer be able to take the study drug if the disease gets worse, if intolerable side
effects occur, or if you are unable to follow study directions.

Your participation on this study will be over after long-term follow-up (described below).

bone marrow aspirate and/or biopsy.

If the study doctor increases your dose of study drug, the following will be performed weekly
during the first cycle of the higher dose:

- Blood (about 2-3 teaspoons) will be drawn for routine and acid/base level and PK
testing. This blood draw will also be used to check how well your pancreas functions.

- Urine will be collected for routine tests.

If the study doctor stops and re-starts your dose of study drug, the following will be
performed:

- Blood (about 3-4 teaspoons) will be drawn for acid/base level testing and to check how
well your pancreas functions.

- Blood (about 1 teaspoon each time) will be drawn for PK testing before the dose and 6
hours after the dose.

If the study doctor lowers your dose of study drug, the following will be performed when you
start taking the lower dose:

°Blood (about 1 teaspoon each time) will be drawn for PK testing before the dose.

End-of-Study Visit:

About 30 days after your last dose of the study drug:

- You will have a physical exam.

- Blood (about 2-3 teaspoons) and urine will be collected to check how well your pancreas
functions and for routine and acid/base level testing.

- If the doctor thinks it is needed, you will have a bone marrow aspirate and/or biopsy.

If you are unable to return to the clinic for the visit, this testing can be performed by a
local doctor and the results will be sent to the study doctor. The research nurse will call
you to ask about your health. These calls should last about 5 minutes.

Long-Term Follow-up:

If the disease appears to be responding to the study drug, a member of the study staff will
call you every 3-6 months for up to 5 years to ask how you are doing and about any side
effects you may be having. Each call should last about 5 minutes.

If the doctor thinks it is needed, you may be asked to come into the clinic for a physical
exam.

time of initiation of IACS-010759 administration will be at least 2 weeks or 5
half-lives (whichever is shorter) for cytotoxic/noncytotoxic agents and
biological/immune therapies, including investigational agents. The half-life for the
therapy in question will be based on published pharmacokinetic literature (abstracts,
manuscripts, investigator brochures, or drug-administration manuals) and will be
documented in the protocol eligibility document. The use of chemotherapeutic or
anti-leukemic agents is not permitted during the study with the following exceptions:
(1) intrathecal therapy for subjects with controlled CNS leukemia at the discretion of
the PI and with the agreement of the Sponsor. (2) Use of hydroxyurea for subjects with

10. Women of childbearing potential must agree to use an adequate method of contraception
during the study and until 3 months after the last treatment. Males must be surgically
or biologically sterile or agree to use an adequate method of contraception during the
study until 3 months after the last treatment. Adequate methods of contraception
include: 1) Total abstinence when this is in line with the preferred and usual
lifestyle of the subject. Periodic abstinence (e.g., calendar, ovulation,
symptothermal, post-ovulation methods) and withdrawal are not acceptable methods of
contraception; 2) Female sterilization (have had surgical bilateral oophorectomy with
or without hysterectomy) or tubal ligation at least six weeks before taking study
treatment. In case of oophorectomy alone, only when the reproductive status of the
woman has been confirmed by follow up hormone level assessment;

hormonal contraception that have comparable efficacy (failure rate <1%), for example
hormone vaginal ring or transdermal hormone contraception;b. Placement of an
intrauterine device (IUD) or intrauterine system (IUS); c. Barrier methods of
contraception: Condom or Occlusive cap (diaphragm or cervical/vault caps) with
spermicidal foam/gel/film/cream/ vaginal suppository. In case of use of oral
contraception, women should have been stable on the same pill before taking study
treatment.

12. #11 continued: Note: Oral contraceptives are allowed but should be used in conjunction
with a barrier method of contraception due to unknown effect of drug-drug interaction.
Women are considered post-menopausal and not of child bearing potential if they have
had 12 months of natural (spontaneous) amenorrhea with an appropriate clinical profile
(e.g. age appropriate, history of vasomotor symptoms) or have had surgical bilateral
oophorectomy (with or without hysterectomy) or tubal ligation at least six weeks ago.
In the case of oophorectomy alone, only when the reproductive status of the woman has
been confirmed by follow up hormone level assessment is she considered not of child
bearing potential.
