A Phase I/II Study to Investigate the Safety and Clinical Activity of GSK3326595 and Other Agents in Subjects With Myelodysplastic Syndrome and Acute Myeloid Leukaemia

GSK3326595 is a potent, selective, reversible inhibitor of the protein arginine
methyltransferase 5 (PRMT5)/Methylosome protein 50 (MEP50) complex that is being tested as an
oral treatment for human subjects with cancer. Myelodysplastic syndrome and acute myeloid
leukaemia are bone marrow neoplasms for which novel, effective therapies are desperately
needed. This is an open-label, multicentre, multi-part study to evaluate the safety,
tolerability, and clinical activity of GSK3326595 in subjects with relapsed and refractory
MDS, chronic myelomonocytic leukaemia (CMML), and hypoproliferative AML that has evolved from
an antecedent MDS. The study will be conducted in two parts and at the end of Part 1, if
pre-specified criteria are met, then the study will be expanded with three additional parts
that will be opened in parallel (Part 2A, 2B and 2C). Part 1 is composed of a single-arm dose
expansion cohort to determine the clinical benefit rate of GSK3326595. Part 2A is a
randomized head-to-head Phase II evaluation of GSK3326595 compared to investigator's choice
of best available care (BAC). Part 2B is composed of an abbreviated series of dose escalation
cohorts followed by a single-arm dose expansion cohort to determine the overall response rate
of the combination of GSK3326595 plus 5-azaciditine in newly-diagnosed MDS. Part 2C is a
single-arm dose expansion study to evaluate the clinical activity of single-agent GSK3326595
in subjects with AML whose disease contains mutations in spliceosome proteins.

Part 1:

MDS classified as intermediate, high, or very high risk by International Prognostic Scoring
System-Revised [IPSS-R] criteria, or Chronic myelomonocytic leukaemia (CMML) classified as
intermediate-2 or high risk per CMML-specific prognostic scoring system (CPSS) or
clinical/molecular CPSS (CPSS-mol) criteria, or MDS/CMML secondary to prior anti-neoplastic
therapy, of any risk score, or AML, which has evolved from an antecedent
MDS/Myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPN) of any risk score, provided that the myeloblast
percentage in the marrow is ≤ 30% or the peripheral white blood cell count is less than
20,000 cells/microliter (μL) in the absence of leukoreducing therapy (e.g., hydroxyurea,
leukapheresis) NOTE: Subjects without a documented history of antecedent MDS/MPN must have
AML with myelodysplasia-related changes or recurrent cytogenetic abnormalities per World
Health Organization (WHO) criteria

Part 2A:

classified as intermediate-2 or high risk per CPSS or CPSS-mol criteria, or MDS/CMML
secondary to prior anti-neoplastic therapy, of any risk score, or AML, which has evolved
from an antecedent MDS/MPN of any risk score, provided that the myeloblast percentage in
the marrow is ≤ 30% or the peripheral white blood cell count is less than 20,000 cells/μL
in the absence of leukoreducing therapy (e.g., hydroxyurea, leukapheresis).

Subjects without a documented history of antecedent MDS/MPN must have AML with
myelodysplasia-related changes or recurrent cytogenetic abnormalities per WHO criteria

Part 2B:

MDS classified as high/very high by IPSS-R criteria, or CMML classified as intermediate-2
or high risk per CPSS or CPSS-mol criteria, or MDS/CMML secondary to prior anti-neoplastic
therapy, of any risk score

Part 2C:

of hydroxyurea therapy)

- Prior therapy Part 1: Subjects must have disease that failed to respond to, or
progressed despite, treatment at least one systemic therapy Part 2A: Subjects must
have disease that failed to respond to, or progressed despite, treatment with at least
one systemic therapy Part 2B: Subjects must have received no prior therapy for their
disease, or have completed no more than one cycle of a hypomethylating agent Part 2C:
Subjects must have disease that has failed to respond to, or progressed despite
treatment with, at least one but no more than four prior lines of systemic therapy

- Molecular markers Part 1: At least 12 subjects must have documented loss-of-function
mutation(s) at least one of the following genes/proteins: Splicing factor 3B subunit 1

Auxiliary Factor 1 (U2AF1), or Zinc Finger CCCH-Type, RNA Binding Motif and
Serine/Arginine Rich 2 (ZRSR2); in addition, at least 12 subjects must have documented
wild type status of all of these genes/proteins. While enrolment will initially
proceed without consideration of mutational status, enrolment may be limited to one
group or the other as the study proceeds based on the enrolment rates in each group,
in order to ensure this minimum number of mutated and wild type subjects.

Part 2A: No specific mutational or molecular requirements Part 2B: No specific mutational
or molecular requirements Part 2C: Subjects must have a documented loss-of-function
mutation(s) at least one of the following genes/proteins: SF3B1, SRSF2, U2AF1, or ZRSR2

For subjects with a prior history of allogeneic transplant, the subject has been off
systemic immunosuppressive medications (including but not limited to: cyclosporine,
tacrolimus, mycophenolate mofetil, or corticosteroids) for at least 1 month prior to the
first dose of GSK3326595. Topical steroids are permitted; there are no signs or symptoms of
