A Study to Investigate the Safety and Tolerability of Ziftomenib in Combination With Venetoclax/Azacitidine, Venetoclax, 7+3, or 7+3+Quizartinib in Patients With AML
Ziftomenib is an investigational drug in development for the treatment of patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) with certain genetic alterations. This protocol has 3 separate arms that will investigate the benefits and risks of adding ziftomenib to standard-of-care (SOC) drug treatments in patients who have AML with certain genetic mutations. Both newly diagnosed and relapsed refractory patients with AML will be assigned to different cohorts based on specific study criteria and physician discretion. The purpose of this study is to assess the safety, tolerability, and early signs of efficacy of ziftomenib in combination with SOC drugs to treat AML.

Testing the Use of Steroids and Tyrosine Kinase Inhibitors With Blinatumomab or Chemotherapy for Newly Diagnosed BCR-ABL-Positive Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia in Adults
This phase III trial compares the effect of usual treatment of chemotherapy and steroids and a tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) to the same treatment plus blinatumomab. Blinatumomab is a Bi-specific T-Cell Engager ('BiTE') that may interfere with the ability of cancer cells to grow and spread. The information gained from this study may help researchers determine if combination therapy with steroids, TKIs, and blinatumomab work better than the standard of care.

Pemigatinib After Chemotherapy for the Treatment of Newly Diagnosed Acute Myeloid Leukemia
This phase I trial identifies the best dose and clinical benefit of giving pemigatinib following standard induction chemotherapy in patients with newly diagnosed acute myeloid leukemia. Pemigatinib selectively inhibits FGFR (fibroblast growth factor receptor) activity, a receptor that may contribute to the growth of leukemia cells. The genetic changes responsible for activating the growth of leukemia cells can be unique to each patient and can change during the course of the disease. Chemotherapy drugs, such as cytarabine and daunorubicin work in different ways to stop the growth of cancer cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading.

Study of Biomarker-Based Treatment of Acute Myeloid Leukemia
This screening and multi-sub-study Phase 1b/2 trial will establish a method for genomic screening followed by assigning and accruing simultaneously to a multi-study "Master Protocol (BAML-16-001-M1)." The specific subtype of acute myeloid leukemia will determine which sub-study, within this protocol, a participant will be assigned to evaluate investigational therapies or combinations with the ultimate goal of advancing new targeted therapies for approval. The study also includes a marker negative sub-study which will include all screened patients not eligible for any of the biomarker-driven sub-studies.

• Adults, age 60 years or older at the time of diagnosis
• Subjects or their legal representative must be able to understand and provide written informed consent
• Cohort Inclusion Criteria - Group A: Subjects must have previously untreated acute myeloid leukemia (AML) according to the WHO classification with no prior treatment other than hydroxyurea. Prior therapy for myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS), myeloproliferative syndromes (MPD), or aplastic anemia is permitted but not with hypomethylating agents.
• Cohort Inclusion Criteria - Group B: Subjects must have relapsed or refractory AML according to the WHO classification. For study purposes, refractory AML is defined as failure to ever achieve CR or recurrence of AML within 6 months of achieving CR; relapsed AML is defined as all others with disease after prior remission. (Group B is not currently recruiting. Expected to begin recruiting in 3rd quarter 2017.)
• Isolated myeloid sarcoma (meaning, patients must have blood or marrow involvement with AML to enter the study)

• Symptomatic central nervous system (CNS) involvement by AML
• Signs of leukostasis requiring urgent therapy
• Disseminated intravascular coagulopathy with active bleeding or signs of thrombosis
• Patients with psychological, familial, social, or geographic factors that otherwise preclude them from giving informed consent, following the protocol, or potentially hamper compliance with study treatment and follow-up
• Any other significant medical condition, including psychiatric illness or laboratory abnormality, that would preclude the patient participating in the trial or would confound the interpretation of the results of the trial
Study of R289 in Patients With Lower-risk Myelodysplastic Syndromes (LR MDS)
The study will be an open-label, Phase 1b study of R289 to determine tolerability and preliminary efficacy in patients with LR MDS who are relapsed, refractory/resistant, intolerant, or have inadequate response to prior therapies such as erythropoietin (EPO), thrombopoietin (TPO), luspatercept, or hypomethylating agents (HMAs) for MDS.
