BACKGROUND

[0002] Isocitrate dehydrogenases (IDHs) catalyze the oxidative decarboxylation of isocitrate to 2-oxoglutarate (i.e., a-ketoglutarate). These enzymes belong to two distinct subclasses, one of which utilizes NAD(+) as the electron acceptor and the other NADP(+). Five isocitrate dehydrogenases have been reported: three NAD(+)-dependent isocitrate dehydrogenases, which localize to the mitochondrial matrix, and two NADP(+)-dependent isocitrate dehydrogenases, one of which is mitochondrial and the other predominantly cytosolic. Each NADP(+)-dependent isozyme is a homodimer.

[0003] IDH2 (isocitrate dehydrogenase 2 (NADP+), mitochondrial) is also known as IDH; IDP; IDHM; IDPM; ICD-M; or mNADP-IDH. The protein encoded by this gene is the

NADP(+)-dependent isocitrate dehydrogenase found in the mitochondria. It plays a role in intermediary metabolism and energy production. This protein may tightly associate or interact with the pyruvate dehydrogenase complex. Human IDH2 gene encodes a protein of 452 amino acids. The nucleotide and amino acid sequences for IDH2 can be found as GenBank entries NM_002168.2 and NP_002159.2 respectively. The nucleotide and amino acid sequence for human IDH2 are also described in, e.g., Huh et al., Submitted (NOV-1992) to the

EMBL/GenBank/DDBJ databases; and The MGC Project Team, Genome Res. 14:2121-2127 (2004).

[0004] Non-mutant, e.g., wild type, IDH2 catalyzes the oxidative decarboxylation of isocitrate to a-ketoglutarate (a-KG) thereby reducing NAD ⁺ (NADP ⁺ ) to NADH (NADPH), e.g., in the forward reaction:

Isocitrate + NAD ⁺ (NADP ⁺ )→ a-KG + C0 ₂ + NADH (NADPH) + H ⁺ .

[0005] It has been discovered that mutations of IDH2 present in certain cancer cells result in a new ability of the enzyme to catalyze the NADPH-dependent reduction of α-ketoglutarate to R(-)-2-hydroxyglutarate (2HG). 2HG is not formed by wild-type IDH2. The production of 2HG is believed to contribute to the formation and progression of cancer (Dang, L. et al, Nature 462:739-44, 2009).

[0006] The development of selective inhibitors of IDH2 mutant enzyme has provided the possibility of therapeutic benefit to cancer patients carrying the IDH2 mutations. There is a need for improved therapies for treating cancer patients carrying IDH2 mutations.

This physical association includes hydrogen bonding. In certain instances the solvate will be capable of isolation, for example when one or more solvent molecules are incorporated in the crystal lattice of the crystalline solid. "Solvate or solvated" encompasses both solution-phase and isolable solvates. Representative solvates include, for example, a hydrate, ethanolates or a methanolate.

[0049] The term "hydrate" is a solvate wherein the solvent molecule is H ₂ 0 that is present in a defined stoichiometric amount, and may, for example, include hemihydrate, monohydrate, dihydrate, or trihydrate.

[0050] The term "mixture" is used to refer to the combined elements of the mixture regardless of the phase-state of the combination (e.g., liquid or liquid/ crystalline). [0051] The term "seeding" is used to refer to the addition of a crystalline material to initiate recrystallization or crystallization.

[0052] The term "antisolvent" is used to refer to a solvent in which compounds, including crystalline forms thereof, are poorly soluble.

[0053] The term "pharmaceutically acceptable carrier or adjuvant" refers to a carrier or adjuvant that may be administered to a subject, together with a compound of one aspect, and which does not destroy the pharmacological activity thereof and is nontoxic when administered in doses sufficient to deliver a therapeutic amount of the compound.

[0054] The term "a pharmaceutically-acceptable salt" as used herein refers to non-toxic acid or base addition salts of the compound to which the term refers. Examples of pharmaceutically acceptable salts are discussed in Berge et al., 1977, "Pharmaceutically Acceptable Salts." J. Pharm. Sci. Vol. 66, pp. 1-19. In one embodiment, the pharmaceutically-acceptable salt is a mesylate salt.

[0055] The term "about" means approximately, in the region of, roughly, or around. When the term "about" is used in conjunction with a numerical range, it modifies that range by extending the boundaries above and below the numerical values set forth. In general, the term "about" is used herein to modify a numerical value above and below the stated value by a variance of 10%. As used herein, and unless otherwise specified, the terms "about" and

"approximately," when used in connection with a numeric value or range of values which is provided to characterize a particular solid form, e.g., a specific temperature or temperature range, such as, for example, that describes a melting, dehydration, desolvation, or glass transition temperature; a mass change, such as, for example, a mass change as a function of temperature or humidity; a solvent or water content, in terms of, for example, mass or a percentage; or a peak position, such as, for example, in analysis by, for example, IR or Raman spectroscopy or XRPD; indicate that the value or range of values may deviate to an extent deemed reasonable to one of ordinary skill in the art while still describing the solid form. Techniques for characterizing crystal forms and amorphous solids include, but are not limited to, thermal gravimetric analysis (TGA), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), X-ray powder diffractometry (XRPD), single-crystal X-ray diffractometry, vibrational spectroscopy, e.g., infrared (IR) and Raman spectroscopy, solid-state and solution nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy, optical microscopy, hot stage optical microscopy, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), electron crystallography and quantitative analysis, particle size analysis (PSA), surface area analysis, solubility studies, and dissolution studies. In certain embodiments, the terms "about" and "approximately," when used in this context, indicate that the numeric value or range of values may vary within 30%, 20%, 15%, 10%, 9%, 8%, 7%, 6%, 5%, 4%, 3%, 2%, 1.5%, 1%, 0.5%, or 0.25%) of the recited value or range of values. For example, in some embodiments, the value of an XRPD peak position may vary by up to ±0.1° 2Θ (or ±0.2° 2Θ) while still describing the particular XRPD peak.

COMPOUND 1

[0056] In one embodiment, COMPOUND 1 is 2-methyl-l-[(4-[6-(trifluoromethyl)pyridin-2- yl]-6-{[2-(trifluoromethyl)pyridin-4-yl]amino}-l,3,5-triazin -2-yl)amino]propan-2-ol, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt, solvate, tautomer, stereoisomer, isotopologue, prodrug, metabolite, or a polymorph thereof, having the following formula:

[00105] In certain embodiments, the formulation is a tablet, wherein the tablet is

manufactured using standard, art-recognized tablet processing procedures and equipment. In certain embodiments, the method for forming the tablets is direct compression of a powdered, crystalline and/or granular composition comprising COMPOUND 1 alone or in combination with one or more excipients, such as, for example, carriers, additives, polymers, or the like. In certain embodiments, as an alternative to direct compression, the tablets may be prepared using wet granulation or dry granulation processes. In certain embodiments, the tablets are molded rather than compressed, starting with a moist or otherwise tractable material. In certain embodiments, compression and granulation techniques are used.

[00106] In certain embodiments, the formulation is a capsule, wherein the capsules may be manufactured using standard, art-recognized capsule processing procedures and equipments. In certain embodiments, soft gelatin capsules may be prepared in which the capsules contain a mixture of COMPOUND 1 and vegetable oil or non-aqueous, water miscible materials such as, for example, polyethylene glycol and the like. In certain embodiments, hard gelatin capsules may be prepared containing granules of COMPOUND 1 in combination with a solid pulverulent carrier, such as, for example, lactose, saccharose, sorbitol, mannitol, potato starch, corn starch, amylopectin, cellulose derivatives, or gelatin. In certain embodiments, a hard gelatin capsule shell may be prepared from a capsule composition comprising gelatin and a small amount of plasticizer such as glycerol. In certain embodiments, as an alternative to gelatin, the capsule shell may be made of a carbohydrate material. In certain embodiments, the capsule composition may additionally include polymers, colorings, flavorings and opacifiers as required. In certain embodiments, the capsule comprises HPMC.

[00107] In certain embodiments, the formulation of COMPOUND 1 is prepared using aqueous solvents without causing significant hydrolytic degradation of the compound. In particular embodiments, the formulation of COMPOUND 1 is a tablet which contains a coating applied to the drug core using aqueous solvents without causing significant hydrolytic degradation of the compound in the formulation. In certain embodiments, water is employed as the solvent for coating the drug core. In certain embodiments, the oral dosage form of

COMPOUND 1 is a tablet containing a film coat applied to the drug core using aqueous solvents. In particular embodiments, water is employed as the solvent for film-coating. In particular embodiments, the tablet containing COMPOUND 1 is film-coated using aqueous solvents without effecting degradation of the pharmaceutical composition. In particular embodiments, water is used as the film coating solvent without effecting degradation of the pharmaceutical composition. In certain embodiments, an oral dosage form comprising

COMPOUND 1 and an aqueous film coating effects immediate drug release upon oral delivery. In certain embodiments, the oral dosage form comprising COMPOUND 1 and an aqueous film coating effects controlled drug release to the upper gastrointestinal tract, e.g., the stomach, upon oral administration. In particular embodiments, a tablet with an aqueous-based film coating comprises COMPOUND 1 as the API.

[00108] In certain embodiments, provided herein is a controlled release pharmaceutical formulation for oral administration of COMPOUND 1, wherein the release occurs substantially in the stomach, comprising: a) a specific amount of COMPOUND 1; b) a drug release controlling component for controlling the release of COMPOUND 1 substantially in the upper gastrointestinal tract, e.g., the stomach; and c) optionally one or more excipients. In certain embodiments, the oral dosage form comprising COMPOUND 1 is prepared as a controlled release tablet or capsule which includes a drug core comprising the pharmaceutical composition and optional excipients. Optionally, a "seal coat" or "shell" is applied. In certain embodiments, a formulation provided herein comprising COMPOUND 1 provided herein is a controlled release tablet or capsule, which comprises a therapeutically effective amount of COMPOUND 1, a drug release controlling component that controls the release of COMPOUND 1 substantially in the stomach upon oral administration, and optionally, one or more excipients. [00109] Particular embodiments provide a drug release controlling component that is a polymer matrix, which swells upon exposure to gastric fluid to effect the gastric retention of the formulation and the sustained release of COMPOUND 1 from the polymer matrix substantially in the stomach. In certain embodiments, such formulations may be prepared by incorporating COMPOUND 1 into a suitable polymeric matrix during formulation. Examples of such formulations are known in the art. See, e.g., Shell et a/., U.S. Patent Publication

No. 2002/0051820 (Application No. 09/990,061); Shell et al., U.S. Patent Publication

No. 2003/0039688 (Application No. 10/045,823); Gusler et al., U.S. Patent Publication

No. 2003/0104053 (Application No. 10/029, 134), each of which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety.

[00110] In certain embodiments, the drug release controlling component may comprise a shell surrounding the drug-containing core, wherein the shell releases COMPOUND 1 from the core by, e.g., permitting diffusion of COMPOUND 1 from the core and promoting gastric retention of the formulation by swelling upon exposure to gastric fluids to a size that is retained in the stomach. In certain embodiments, such formulations may be prepared by first compressing a mixture of COMPOUND 1 and one or more excipients to form a drug core, and compressing another powdered mixture over the drug core to form the shell, or enclosing the drug core with a capsule shell made of suitable materials. Examples of such formulations are known in the art. See, e.g., Berner et a/., U.S. Patent Publication No. 2003/0104062 Application No. 10/213,823), incorporated herein by reference in its entirety.

It will be understood by those in the art that some substances serve more than one purpose in a pharmaceutical composition. For instance, some substances are binders that help hold a tablet together after compression, yet are also disintegrants that help break the tablet apart once it reaches the target delivery site. Selection of excipients and amounts to use may be readily determined by the formulation scientist based upon experience and consideration of standard procedures and reference works available in the art. [00112] In certain embodiments, formulations provided herein comprise one or more binders.

[00193] In certain embodiments, COMPOUND 1 for use in the methods disclosed herein is a mesylate salt of 2-methyl-l-[(4-[6-(trifluoromethyl)pyridin-2-yl]-6-{[2-(trif luoromethyl)pyridin- 4-yl]amino}-l,3,5-triazin-2-yl)amino]propan-2-ol (COMPOUND A).

[00194] In certain embodiments, the myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) is MDS with refractory anemia with excess blasts (subtype RAEB-1 or RAEB-2). In certain embodiments, the MDS is untreated. In certain embodiments, COMPOUND 1 is administered as a first line treatment for MDS. In certain embodiments, COMPOUND 1 is administered as a second line, third line, or fourth line treatment for MDS. In certain embodiments, the MDS presentation is subsequent to AML. In one embodiment, the subject is an adult MDS patient.

[00195] In one embodiment, a malignancy can be analyzed by sequencing cell samples to determine the presence and specific nature of (e.g., the changed amino acid present at) a mutation at amino acid 140 and/or 172 of IDH2.

[00196] In another aspect, without being bound by theory, certain IDH2 mutations result in a new ability of the enzyme to catalyze the NADPH dependent reduction of a-ketoglutarate to R(- )-2-hydroxyglutarate, in particular R140Q and/or R172K mutations of IDH2. Thus, the compounds, compositions and methods provided herein are useful to treat a myelodysplastic syndrome that is characterized by the presence of a mutant allele of IDH2 imparting such activity and in particular an IDH2 R140Q and/or R172K mutation.

[00197] In certain embodiments, at least 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80 or 90% of the cancerous cells carry an IDH2 mutation, and in particular mIDH2-R140Q, mIDH2-R140W, or mIDH2-R140L and/or mIDH2-R172K or mIDH2-R172G mutation, at the time of diagnosis or treatment. [00198] In certain embodiments, the efficacy of treatment of a myelodysplastic syndrome is monitored by measuring the levels of 2HG in the subject. Typically levels of 2HG are measured prior to treatment, wherein an elevated level is indicated for the use of COMPOUND 1. Once the elevated levels are established, the level of 2HG is determined during the course of and/or following termination of treatment to establish efficacy. In certain embodiments, the level of 2HG is only determined during the course of and/or following termination of treatment. A reduction of 2HG levels during the course of treatment and following treatment is indicative of efficacy. Similarly, a determination that 2HG levels are not elevated during the course of or following treatment is also indicative of efficacy. Typically, 2HG measurements are utilized together with other well known determinations of efficacy of malignancy treatment, such as reduction in number and size of tumors and/or other cancer associated lesions, improvement in the general health of the subject, and alterations in other biomarkers that are associated with malignancy treatment efficacy.

[00199] 2HG can be detected in a sample by the methods of PCT Publication No. WO

2011/050210 and US Publication No. US2012/0121515 hereby incorporated by reference in their entirety, or by analogous methods. In an exemplary method, 2HG can be detected in a sample by LC/MS. The sample is mixed 80:20 with methanol, and centrifuged at 3,000 rpm for 20 minutes at 4 degrees Celsius. The resulting supernatant can be collected and stored at -80 degrees Celsius prior to LC-MS/MS to assess 2-hydroxyglutarate levels. A variety of different liquid chromatography (LC) separation methods can be used. Each method can be coupled by negative electrospray ionization (ESI, -3.0 kV) to triple-quadrupole mass spectrometers operating in multiple reaction monitoring (MRM) mode, with MS parameters optimized on infused metabolite standard solutions. Metabolites can be separated by reversed phase chromatography using 10 mM tributyl-amine as an ion pairing agent in the aqueous mobile phase, according to a variant of a previously reported method (Luo et al. J Chromatogr A 1147, 153-64, 2007). One method allows resolution of TCA metabolites: t = 0, 50% B; t = 5, 95% B; t= 7, 95% B; t= 8, 0% B, where B refers to an organic mobile phase of 100% methanol. Another method is specific for 2-hydroxyglutarate, running a fast linear gradient from 50% -95% B (buffers as defined above) over 5 minutes. A Synergi Hydro-RP, 100mm x 2 mm, 2.1 μπι particle size (Phenomonex) can be used as the column, as described above. Metabolites can be quantified by comparison of peak areas with pure metabolite standards at known concentration. Metabolite flux studies from C-glutamine can be performed as described, e.g., in Munger et al. Nat Biotechnol 26, 1179-86, 2008.

[00200] In certain embodiments, 2HG is directly evaluated.

[00201] In certain embodiments, a derivative of 2HG formed in process of performing the analytic method is evaluated. By way of example such a derivative can be a derivative formed in MS analysis. Derivatives can include a salt adduct, e.g., a Na adduct, a hydration variant, or a hydration variant which is also a salt adduct, e.g., a Na adduct, e.g., as formed in MS analysis.

[00202] In certain embodiments a metabolic derivative of 2HG is evaluated. Examples include species that build up or are elevated, or reduced, as a result of the presence of 2HG, such as glutarate or glutamate that will be correlated to 2HG, e.g., R-2HG.

[00203] Exemplary 2HG derivatives include dehydrated derivatives such as the compounds provided below or a salt adduct thereof:

[00204] 2HG is known to accumulate in the inherited metabolic disorder 2-hydroxyglutaric aciduria. This disease is caused by deficiency in the enzyme 2-hydroxyglutarate dehydrogenase, which converts 2HG to a-KG (Struys, E. A. et al. Am. J. Hum. Genet. 76, 358-60 (2005)).

Patients with 2-hydroxyglutarate dehydrogenase deficiencies accumulate 2HG in the brain as assessed by MRI and CSF analysis, develop leukoencephalopathy, and have an increased risk of developing brain tumors (Aghili, M., Zahedi, F. & Rafiee, J Neurooncol 91, 233-6 (2009);

Kolker, S., Mayatepek, E. & Hoffmann, G. F. Neuropediatrics 33, 225-31 (2002); Wajner, M., Latini, A., Wyse, A. T. & Dutra-Filho, C. S. J Inherit Metab Dis 27, 427-48 (2004)).

Furthermore, elevated brain levels of 2HG result in increased ROS levels (Kolker, S. et al. Eur J Neurosci 16, 21-8 (2002); Latini, A. et al. Eur J Neurosci 17, 2017-22 (2003)), potentially contributing to an increased risk of cancer. The ability of 2HG to act as an NMD A receptor agonist may contribute to this effect (Kolker, S. et al. Eur J Neurosci 16, 21-8 (2002)). 2HG may also be toxic to cells by competitively inhibiting glutamate and/or aKG utilizing enzymes. These include transaminases which allow utilization of glutamate nitrogen for amino and nucleic acid biosynthesis, and aKG-dependent prolyl hydroxylases such as those which regulate Hifl- alpha levels. [00205] Treatment methods described herein can additionally comprise various evaluation steps prior to and/or following treatment with COMPOUND 1.

[00206] In one embodiment, prior to and/or after treatment with COMPOUND 1, the method further comprises the step of evaluating the growth, size, weight, invasiveness, stage and/or other phenotype of a myelodysplastic syndrome.

[00207] In certain embodiments, prior to and/or after treatment with COMPOUND 1, the method further comprises the step of evaluating the IDH2 genotype of the myelodysplastic syndrome. This may be achieved by ordinary methods in the art, such as DNA sequencing, immuno analysis, and/or evaluation of the presence, distribution or level of 2HG.

[00208] In one embodiment, prior to and/or after treatment with COMPOUND 1, the method further comprises the step of determining the 2HG level in the subject. This may be achieved by spectroscopic analysis, e.g., magnetic resonance-based analysis, e.g., MRI and/or MRS measurement, sample analysis of bodily fluid, such as serum or spinal cord fluid analysis, or by analysis of surgical material, e.g., by mass-spectroscopy.

[00209] In certain embodiments, depending on the disease to be treated and the subject's condition, COMPOUND 1 may be administered by oral, parenteral (e.g., intramuscular, intraperitoneal, intravenous, CIV, intracistemal injection or infusion, subcutaneous injection, or implant), inhalation, nasal, vaginal, rectal, sublingual, or topical (e.g., transdermal or local) routes of administration.

[00258] Primary Objectives

[00259] To assess the safety and tolerability of treatment with COMPOUND A administered continuously as a single agent dosed orally on Days 1 to 28 of a 28-day cycle in subjects with advanced hematologic malignancies.

[00260] To determine a maximum tolerated dose (MTD) or a maximum administered dose (MAD) and/or the recommended Phase 2 dose (RP2D) of COMPOUND A in subjects with advanced hematologic malignancies, for example MDS.

[00261] Secondary Objectives

[00272] To characterize the PK/pharmacodynamic (PD) relationship of COMPOUND A and 2-hydroxygluturate (2-HG).

[00273] Study Design:

[00274] This was a Phase 1/2, multicenter, open-label, 3-part (Phase 1 dose escalation, Phase 1 Part 1 Expansion, and Phase 2), safety, PK/PD, and clinical activity evaluation of orally administered COMPOUND A in subjects with advanced hematologic malignancies, for example MDS, that harbor an IDH2 mutation. The study included a dose escalation phase to determine MTD/MAD and/or RP2D, an expansion phase (Part 1) to further evaluate the safety, tolerability, and clinical activity of COMPOUND A, and a Phase 2 to assess the clinical efficacy of

COMPOUND A at the RP2D and to further evaluate safety in subjects with refractory and relapsed AML carrying an IDH2 mutation.

[00275] In the Phase 1 portion, the study included a dose escalation phase to determine MTD/MAD and/or the RP2D and an expansion phase (Part 1 Expansion) to further evaluate the safety, tolerability and clinical activity of COMPOUND A in select populations. The Phase 2 portion (previously Part 2 Expansion) further informed on the efficacy, safety, tolerability and clinical activity of COMPOUND A in subjects with refractory or relapsed AML with an IDH2 mutation. [00276] Dose Escalation Phase: The dose escalation phase utilized a standard "3 + 3" design. During the dose escalation phase, consented eligible subjects with relapsed or refractory acute myelogenous leukemia (AML), untreated AML >60 years of age who were not candidates for standard therapy, or myelodysplastic syndrome with refractory anemia with excess blasts were enrolled into sequential cohorts of increasing doses of COMPOUND A not to exceed 650 mg QD dose. Each dose cohort enrolled a minimum of 3 subjects. The first 3 subjects enrolled in each dosing cohort during the dose escalation portion of the study received a single dose of study drug on Day -3 (i.e., 3 days prior to the start of daily dosing) and underwent safety and PK/PD assessments over 72 hours to evaluate drug concentrations and 2-HG and a-KG levels. The next dose of study drug was on Cycle 1 Day 1 (C1D1) at which time daily dosing began. The initial dosing schedule was twice daily (approximately every 12 hours). Based on the emerging data, a once daily dosing schedule also has been implemented. Alternative dosing schedules (e.g., a loading dose followed by once daily dosing) could continue to be explored in the dose escalation and expansion phases as agreed upon by the Clinical Study Team. If there were multiple subjects in the screening process at the time the third subject within a cohort began treatment, up to 2 additional subjects might be enrolled with approval of the Medical Monitor. For these additional subjects, the Day -3 through Day 1 PK/PD assessments were optional following discussion with the Medical Monitor.

[00277] The safety of dosing during the dose escalation phase was evaluated by the Clinical Study Team, comprised of the Sponsor designee (Responsible Medical Officer), Study Medical Monitor, and Investigators. The Clinical Study Team reviewed the emerging safety data from each cohort to determine if dose escalation should occur.

[00278] Toxicity severity was graded according to the National Cancer Institute Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (NCI CTCAE) Version 4.03. A DLT was defined as outlined below. [00279] Non-hematologic:

[00280] All clinically significant non-hematologic toxicities CTCAE >Grade 3 with the exception of >Grade 3 blood bilirubin increases in subjects with a UDP (uridine diphosphate)- glucuronosyltransferase 1 family, polypeptide Al (UGT1A1) mutation. In subjects with a UGT1A1 mutation, blood bilirubin increases of >5x upper limit of normal (ULN) might be considered a DLT.

[00281] Hematologic:

[00282] Prolonged myelosuppression, defined as persistence of >Grade 3 neutropenia or thrombocytopenia (by NCI CTCAE, version 4.03, leukemia-specific criteria, i.e., marrow cellularity <5% on Day 28 or later from the start of study drug without evidence of leukemia) at least 42 days after the initiation of Cycle 1 therapy. Leukemia-specific grading was used for cytopenias (based on percentage decrease from baseline: 50 to 75% = Grade 3, >75% = Grade 4).

[00283] Due to frequent co-morbidities and concurrent medications in the population under study, attribution of adverse events (AEs) to a particular drug was challenging. Therefore, all AEs that could not clearly be determined to be unrelated to COMPOUND A were considered relevant to determining DLTs and were reviewed by the Clinical Study Team. The Clinical Study Team also reviewed any other emergent toxicities that were not explicitly defined by the DLT criteria to determine if any warranted a DLT designation.

[00284] If, after the third subject completed the 28-day DLT evaluation period (i.e., Cycle 1), no DLTs were observed, the study proceeded with dose escalation to the next cohort following safety review by the Clinical Study Team. If 1 of 3 subjects experienced a DLT during the first cycle, 3 additional subjects were enrolled in that cohort. If none of the additional 3 subjects experienced a DLT, dose escalation continued to the next cohort following safety review by the Clinical Study Team. If 2 or more subjects in a cohort experienced DLTs during the first cycle, dose escalation was halted and the next lower dose level was declared the MTD. If the MTD cohort included only 3 subjects, an additional 3 subjects were enrolled at that dose level to confirm that <2 of 6 subjects experienced a DLT at that dose. Alternatively, a dose level intermediate between the non-tolerated dose level and the previously tolerated dose level might have been explored and declared the MTD if <2 out of 6 subjects experienced a DLT at that dose. [00285] Increases in the dose of COMPOUND A for each dose cohort was guided by an accelerated titration design, where the dose was doubled (100% increase) from one cohort to the next until COMPOUND A-related NCI CTCAE Grade 2 or greater toxicity was observed in any subject within the cohort. Following evaluation by the Clinical Study Team, subsequent increases in dose were 50% or less until the MTD was determined. The absolute percent increase in the dose was determined by the Clinical Study Team predicated on the type and severity of any toxicity seen in the prior dose cohorts. The MTD was the highest dose that causes DLTs in <2 of 6 subjects.

[00286] To optimize the number of subjects treated at a potentially clinically relevant dose, intra-subject dose escalation was permitted with approval of the Medical Monitor.

[00287] Part 1 Expansion Phase

[00288] During the Part 1 expansion phase, safety, PK/PD, and preliminary clinical activity data were reviewed by the Clinical Study Team on an ongoing basis.

[00289] In Part 1, 4 non-randomized cohorts of approximately 25 subjects per arm with IDH2- mutated hematologic malignancies were enrolled as follows:

[00290] Arm 1 : Relapsed or refractory AML and age >60 years, or any subject with AML regardless of age who had relapsed following a bone marrow transplant (BMT).

[00291] Arm 2: Relapsed or refractory AML and age <60 years, excluding subjects with AML who had relapsed following a BMT.

[00292] Arm 3 : Untreated AML and age >60 years that declined standard of care

chemotherapy.

[00293] Arm 4: IDH2 -mutated advanced hematologic malignancies not eligible for Arms 1 to 3.

[00294] Phase 2

[00295] Phase 2, the pivotal part of the study, further established the efficacy and safety profile of COMPOUND A at the recommended phase 2 dose (RP2D) determined in the ongoing dose escalation phase in subjects with IDH2-mutated relapsed or refractory AML defined as follows:

[00296] Subjects who relapsed after allogeneic transplantation;

[00297] Subjects in second or later relapse;

[00298] Subjects who were refractory to initial induction or re-induction treatment; [00299] Subjects who relapsed within 1 year of initial treatment, excluding patients with favorable-risk status according to NCCN Guidelines (NCCN 2015; NCCN 2015 National Comprehensive Cancer Network. Acute Myelogenous Leukemia (Version 1.2015),

http://www.nccn.org/professionals/physician_gls/PDF/aml.p df). Favorable-risk cytogenetics: inv(16), +(16; 16), t(8;21), t(15; 17).

[00300] Approximately 125 subjects were enrolled in this part of the trial.

[00301] General Study Conduct:

[00302] Following informed consent, all subjects underwent screening procedures within 28 days prior to the ClDl to determine eligibility. All subjects were required to have confirmation of IDH2-mutated disease from a bone marrow aspirate and peripheral blood. For subjects in the dose escalation phase and Part 1 Expansion, documentation of IDH2 mutation status could be based on local site testing with central laboratory testing performed retrospectively. Subjects in Phase 2 were required to have IDH2- mutation status based on central laboratory testing during screening prior to study treatment. Additional screening procedures included medical, surgical, and medication history, a buccal swab for germ-line mutation analysis, physical examination, vital signs, Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status (PS), 12-lead electrocardiogram (ECG), evaluation of left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF), clinical laboratory assessments (hematology, chemistry, coagulation, and serum pregnancy test), bone marrow biopsy and aspirate, blood and bone marrow samples for 2-HG and a-KG measurement, and blood for determination of UGT1 Al mutation status. In addition, subjects in the Part 1 Expansion had urine samples for 2-HG and a-KG measurement and blood samples for cholesterol, and 4P-OH-cholesterol levels collected during screening.

[00303] Dose Escalation and Part 1 Expansion

[00304] Three days prior to the start of daily dosing of COMPOUND A (Day -3), the first 3 subjects enrolled in each cohort in the dose escalation phase and the first 15 subjects enrolled in each arm of Part 1 Expansion received a single dose of COMPOUND A in clinic and had serial blood and urine samples obtained for determination of blood and urine concentrations of COMPOUND A, its metabolite (6-(6-(trifluoromethyl)pyridin-2-yl)-N2-(2- (trifluoromethyl)pyridin-4-yl)-l,3,5-triazine-2,4-diamine), 2-HG, and a-KG. A full 72-hour PK/PD profile was conducted: subjects were required to remain at the study site for 10 hours on Day -3 and return on Days -2, -1, and 1 for 24-, 48-, and 72-hour samples, respectively. During the in-clinic period on Day -3, clinical observation and serial 12-lead ECGs and vital signs assessments were conducted. Daily treatment with COMPOUND A began on ClDl; for subjects in the dose escalation phase and Part 1 Expansion who did not undergo the Day -3 PK/PD assessments, clinical observation and serial 12-lead ECGs and vital signs assessments were conducted over 8 hours following their first dose of COMPOUND A on ClDl .

[00305] Subjects in the dose escalation phase and Part 1 Expansion also underwent PK/PD assessments over a 10-hour period on ClDl 5, C2D1, and C4D1. Predose blood samples (trough) were obtained on ClDl (for those subjects who did not undergo the Day -3 PK/PD assessments), C1D8, C1D22, C2D15, C3D1, C3D15, C5D1, and Day 1 of all cycles thereafter for

determination of COMPOUND 1, 2-HG, and a-KG concentrations. These subjects had urine collected for PK/PD evaluation at screening; prior to dosing on ClDl 5, C2D1 and Day 1 of all cycles thereafter; and at the End of Treatment visit. Available bone marrow biopsy samples also were assessed for 2-HG and a-KG levels.

[00306] Phase 2

[00307] Subjects in the Phase 2 portion of the trial were not required to undergo the Day -3 assessments; these subjects underwent an 8-hour PK/PD profile conducted on Day 1 of Cycles 1 and 2, and predose blood samples (trough) on C1D2 and C2D2 were obtained in order to assess PK/PD in a 24-hour period. Additional blood samples for PK/PD assessments were drawn predose (within 30 minutes) on Day 1 of Cycle 3, and at the End of Treatment visit. Time-matched 12-lead ECGs were conducted in triplicate on Day 1 of Cycles 1 and 2; a triplicate ECG was also obtained at the End of Treatment visit. Single 12-lead ECGs were conducted on Day 1 of every cycle beginning with Cycle 3, and at the Follow-up visit. Available bone marrow biopsy samples were assessed for 2-HG and a-KG levels.

[00308] Other Safety Assessments (All Phases)

[00309] All subjects underwent safety assessments during the treatment period to include physical examination, vital signs, ECOG PS, 12-lead ECGs, evaluation of LVEF, and clinical laboratory assessments (hematology, chemistry, coagulation, and pregnancy testing).

[00310] Clinical Activity Assessments:

[00311] Phase 1 (Dose Escalation and Part 1 Expansion)

[00312] Subjects in the dose escalation phase and Part 1 Expansion had the extent of their disease assessed, including bone marrow biopsies and/or aspirates and peripheral blood, at screening, on C1D15, C2D1, and C3D1, every 28 days (peripheral blood only) or every 56 days (bone marrow biopsies and/or aspirates and peripheral blood) thereafter while on study drug treatment, independent of dose delays and/or dose interruptions, and/or at any time when progression of disease was suspected. Response to treatment and treatment decisions in all subjects was determined by the Investigators based on modified International Working Group (IWG) response criteria or other appropriate response criteria for the malignancy under study. See Cheson et. al. J. Clin. Oncol. 21(24):4642-9 (2003).

[00313] Phase 2

[00314] For subjects enrolled in the Phase 2 portion of the trial, extent of disease, including bone marrow biopsies and/or aspirates and peripheral blood, were assessed at screening, on C2D1, every 28 days thereafter through 12 months, and every 56 days thereafter while on study drug treatment, independent of dose delays and/or dose interruptions, and/or at any time when progression of disease was suspected. Eligibility, treatment decisions, and response to treatment was determined by the Investigators based on modified International Working Group (IWG) response criteria. Response was also assessed retrospectively by an Independent Response Adjudication Committee (IRAC).

[00315] End of Treatment and Follow-up:

[00316] Subjects might continue treatment with COMPOUND A until disease progression or development of unacceptable toxicity.

[00317] Evidence supports that cancer-associated IDH mutations block normal cellular differentiation and promote tumorigenesis via the abnormal production of 2-HG, a potential oncometabolite. COMPOUND A might produce antitumor effects by reversing the

differentiation block induced by the IDH2 mutations and promoting appropriate cellular differentiation.

[00318] Because of the unique mechanism of action of COMPOUND A, clinical responses were different than those observed with cytotoxic agents. Responses with COMPOUND A might occur after 2 or more cycles of therapy and they might occur after an initiation period of leukocytosis in the peripheral blood and/or bone marrow with, in rare cases, corresponding clinical signs and symptoms of fever, fluid retention, hypoxia, and skin rash which had been termed a differentiation-like syndrome. [00319] As such, standard assessment criteria developed based on the experience from the cytotoxic chemotherapeutic agents did not provide a complete and accurate response assessment for this novel class of IDH2 inhibitors. Therefore, in the setting where a subject's assessment showed signs similar to progression within the first 2 cycles, caution was exercised in discontinuing study drug, and a discussion with the Medical Monitor was required, especially in situations where the subject's clinical condition was stable as supported by, but limited to, absence of signs and symptoms of rapid deterioration indicating disease progression and/or general condition was stable or improving.

[00320] Subjects who experienced progression of disease (PD) per the applicable response criteria, had assessment of the disease repeated 28 days later in order to confirm PD with option of continuing treatment as described above while awaiting for confirmation. If repeat evaluation confirmed PD subjects discontinued study treatment and proceeded to the survival follow-up phase.

[00321] Subjects with stable or progressive disease could continue to receive study treatment with COMPOUND A at the discretion of the Investigator and with Medical Monitor approval.

[00322] All subjects underwent an end of treatment assessment (within approximately 5 days of the last dose of study drug); in addition, a follow-up safety assessment was scheduled 28 days after the last dose. Furthermore, all subjects were followed monthly for disease status, overall survival, and initiation of non-study anti-neoplastic therapy, until death, withdrawal of consent, or the end of the study, whichever occured first.

[00323] Subjects who achieved an adequate response to treatment with COMPOUND A and met other criteria required to undergo hematopoietic stem cell transplant (HSCT) could proceed to HSCT after discontinuation of study therapy. Those subjects were followed on study for outcome until relapse or end of study to support the overall clinical benefit of COMPOUND A in this setting.

[00324] Subjects who relapsed following HSCT might be eligible to restart treatment with COMPOUND A with Medical Monitor approval and at the discretion of the Investigator, if they had confirmed recurrent IDH2 mutant positive disease, no other cancer treatment (with the exception of anti-neoplastic therapies used in the course of HSCT such as conditioning regimen or induction-type regimen and anti-GVHD prophylaxis [i.e., methotrexate]) besides HSCT was administered since the last dose of COMPOUND A, the subject met the safety parameters listed in the Inclusion/Exclusion criteria, and the trial was open. Subjects resumed COMPOUND A therapy at the same dose and schedule at the time of COMPOUND A treatment discontinuation prior to HSCT.

[00325] All subjects, including those who relapsed following HSCT and elected not to restart treatment, were followed monthly thereafter for assessment of survival status and non-study antineoplastic therapies since discontinuation of study drug until death or end of study.

[00326] Number of subjects (planned):

[00327] Approximately a minimum of 291 subjects in total was planned to be enrolled in the study (i.e., in the dose escalation, Part 1 Expansion, and Phase 2 portion of the trial).

[00328] Assuming that identification of the MTD/MAD required the evaluation of 13 dose levels/schedules of COMPOUND A with up to 5 subjects per dose level, with the exception that the MTD/MAD required 6 subjects, then 66 subjects were enrolled during the dose escalation part of the study. Additional subjects might be needed for cohort expansion during dose escalation, for the replacement of subjects who were not evaluable for PK/PD, safety, or clinical activity, or for evaluation of alternative dosing regimens other than the planned escalation scheme or the MTD/MAD, to optimize the RP2D and regimen(s). 5 dose levels (ranging from 30 mg to 150 mg) had been evaluated in the BID schedule and 8 dose levels (ranging from 50 mg to 650 mg) had been evaluated in the QD schedule.

[00329] Four cohorts of a minimum of 25 additional subjects in specific hematologic malignancy subsets (total a minimum of 100 subjects) were enrolled in Part 1 Expansion of the study.

[00330] The Phase 2 portion of the trial enrolled approximately 125 subjects with relapsed or refractory AML with an IDH2 mutation. Additional subjects might be needed for the

replacement of subjects who were not evaluable for PK/PD, safety, and/or clinical activity, or for evaluation of alternative dosing regimens. The final total sample size might be adjusted according to the observed toxicity rate, and number of subjects enrolled for expanded evaluation.

[00334] Investigational product, dosage and mode of administration:

[00335] COMPOUND A (mesylate salt of 2-methyl-l-[(4-[6-(trifluoromethyl)pyridin-2-yl]-6-

{[2-(trifluoromethyl)pyridin-4-yl]amino}-l,3,5-triazin-2- yl)amino]propan-2-ol) was provided as

5, 10, 25, 50, 100, 150 and 200 mg free-base equivalent strength tablets to be administered orally.

[00336] Phase 1 Dose Escalation

[00337] The first 3 subjects in each cohort in the dose escalation portion of the study and the first 15 subjects in each arm of Part 1 Expansion received a single dose of study drug on Day -3; their next dose of study drug was administered on ClDl at which time subjects started daily dosing on Days 1 to 28 in 28-day cycles. Starting with ClDl, dosing is continuous; there were no inter-cycle rest periods. Subjects who were not required to undergo the Day -3 PK/PD assessments initiated daily dosing with COMPOUND A on ClDl .

[00338] Subjects were required to fast (water is allowed) for 2 hours prior to study drug administration and for 1 hour following study drug administration.

[00339] The dose of COMPOUND A administered to a subject was dependent upon which dose cohort is open for enrollment when the subject qualified for the study. The starting dose of COMPOUND A administered to the first cohort of subjects was 30 mg administered orally twice a day, and the maximum administered dose of COMPOUND A administered was 650 mg administered orally once a day. [00340] Phase 1 Part 1 Expansion and Phase 2

[00341] The starting dose of COMPOUND A recommended for evaluation was 100 mg QD. This was based on the safety, PK, pharmacodynamics and clinical activity of COMPOUND A observed to date in AG221-C-001. Evaluation of pharmacodynamic response demonstrated sustained reduction in 2-HG plasma levels by Day 1 of Cycle 2 and up to 98% inhibition in most subjects with R140Q mutation at all doses. Increasing dose was associated with higher exposure and inhibition of 2-HG in subjects with R172K mutation. Importantly, preliminary efficacy data of the 44 subjects treated at 100 mg QD has shown an overall response rate of 36.4%. Thus a dose of 100 mg should adequately achieve inhibition of 2-HG in subjects with either R140Q or R172K mutation. Moreover, the safety profile at 100 mg, including > Grade 3, was consistent with that of lower doses.

[00342] Intra-subject dose escalation was possible.

[00343] Duration of treatment:

[00344] Subjects could continue treatment with COMPOUND A until disease progression or development of unacceptable toxicity. Subjects who experienced disease progression per the applicable response criteria who were, in the opinion of the Investigator, benefiting from treatment could be allowed to continue on study drug with approval of the Medical Monitor.

[00345] End of study:

[00346] End of study was defined as the time at which :

• all subjects had discontinued treatment with COMPOUND A and had been followed for survival for at least 12 months, or have died, been lost to follow up, or withdrew consent prior to at least 12 months of follow-up

• or the date of receipt of the last data point from the last subject that was required for primary, secondary and/or exploratory analysis, as pre-specified in the protocol and/or the Statistical Analysis Plan (SAP), whichever was the later date.

[00347] Criteria for evaluation:

[00348] Safety:

[00349] Monitoring of AEs, including determination of DLTs, serious adverse events (SAEs), and AEs leading to discontinuation; safety laboratory parameters; physical examination findings; vital signs; 12-lead ECGs; LVEF; and ECOG PS.

[00350] The severity of AEs was assessed by the NCI CTCAE, Version 4.03. [00351] Pharmacokinetics and Pharmacodynamics:

[00352] Serial blood sampling for determination of concentration-time profiles of

COMPOUND A and its metabolite (6-(6-(trifluoromethyl)pyridin-2-yl)-N2-(2- (trifluoromethyl)pyridin-4-yl)-l,3,5-triazine-2,4-diamine). Urine sampling for determination of concentrations of COMPOUND A and its metabolite (6-(6-(trifluoromethyl)pyridin-2-yl)-N2-(2- (trifluoromethyl)pyridin-4-yl)-l,3,5-triazine-2,4-diamine) (dose escalation and Part 1 expansion subjects only). Blood and bone marrow sampling for determination of 2-HG and a-KG levels.

[00353] Clinical Activity:

[00354] Serial blood and bone marrow sampling to determine response to treatment based on modified IWG response criteria or other appropriate response criteria based on the malignancy under study.

[00355] Statistical methods:

[00356] Overall response rate (ORR), the primary efficacy endpoint, was defined as the rate of responders including complete remission (CR), CR with incomplete platelet recovery (CRp), marrow CR (mCR) (morphologic leukemia-free state [MLFS] for subjects with AML), CR with incomplete hematologic recovery (CRi), and partial remission (PR). Other measures of clinical activity including complete remission rate (CRR), duration of remission/response, event-free survival, overall survival, and time to remission/response was summarized.

[00357] For Phase 1 Dose Escalation/Part 1 Expansion, the efficacy analysis of response rates as assessed by the site Investigators using modified International Working Group ( IWG) response criteria was conducted in Full Analysis Set for each dose level, expansion arm, and overall if appropriate. The analysis of Part 1 expansion arms could also include subjects from the dose-escalation phase who received the same dose/regimen as subjects in the expansion arms and who met the eligibility criteria of individual arms.

[00358] For Phase 2 portion of the trial, the primary efficacy analysis of COMPOUND A was determined by the Investigators based on modified International Working Group (IWG) response criteria. Response was also be assessed retrospectively by an Independent Response

Adjudication Committee (IRAC) using the Full Analysis Set (FAS). Key supportive analyses was based on independent central review of response in FAS. Example 2. Study of COMPOUND A monotherapy in patients with MDS and mIDH2.

[00359] A subset of the clinical samples from the trial described in Example 1 were analyzed in this Example.

[00360] IDH2 mutations (mIDH2) are recurrent in -5% of patients (pts) with MDS and -15% of pts with acute myeloid leukemia (AML). mIDH2 proteins have neomorphic enzymatic activity and are associated with DNA and histone hypermethylation, altered gene expression, and blocked differentiation of hematopoietic progenitor cells. COMPOUND A is a small-molecule allosteric inhibitor of mIDH2 protein that induces hematological responses in pts with mIDH2- positive AML, including relapsed or refractory (R/R) AML. The current analysis is to evaluate the safety and clinical efficacy of COMPOUND A monotherapy in pts with MDS and mIDH2.

[00361] Methods: This analysis included pts ages >18 years with mIDH2-positive MDS who participated in a phase 1 study (see Example 1) with a dose-finding (dose-escalation) period followed by an expansion phase in which all pts received daily oral COMPOUND A 100 mg QD in 28-day cycles. Pts were relapsed or refractory to prior MDS therapy (Tx) or were not candidates for standard therapies. Response was measured using peripheral blood (PB) and bone marrow (BM) samples on days 15, 29, 57, and every 56 days thereafter, and by objective investigator report. Overall response rate (ORR) reflected the best response achieved by individual pts, including complete remission (CR), partial remission (PR), marrow CR (mCR), and any hematologic improvement (HI) (IWG 2006 MDS criteria). Cheson et al., Blood.

108:419-425 (2006). Evaluable pts required a response assessment at Cycle 2 Day 1 or later, or discontinued before assessment. Overall survival (OS) was estimated using Kaplan-Meier methods. Next-generation sequencing identified pre-existing co-occurring genomic alterations using the FoundationOne Heme test on purified mononuclear cells from BM or PB, to assess relationships between co-mutational status and clinical response.

[00362] Results: Of the 16 patients with MDS in the study, 12 pts had discontinued and 4 pts continued to receive COMPOUND A at interim database lock. Reasons for discontinuation included disease progression (n=l), adverse event (AE; n=l), death (n=4), investigator decision (n=2), and other (n=l). Three pts proceeded to transplant. Median age was 67 years (range 45- 78) {see Table 7). R140 mutations were more common than R172 mutations (88% vs 12%). At entry, 3 pts (19%) had relapsed following allogeneic stem cell transplant and 11 (69%) had failed prior therapy (Tx) with a hypomethylating agent (HMA). Six pts (38%) had received >2 prior anticancer Tx for MDS. MDS pts in the dose-finding phase received daily COMPOUND A doses of 60 mg (n=l), 150 mg (1), 200 mg (3), or 300 mg (1); 10 pts received COMPOUND A 100 mg QD. Median number of Tx cycles was 3 (range 1-25); 5 pts (31%) received >6

COMPOUND A cycles and 4 pts (25%) received >12 cycles. Grade 3-4 treatment-emergent AEs (TEAEs) were reported for 13 pts (81%); the most frequent were hyperbilirubinemia (n=5, unconjugated), pneumonia (n=4), thrombocytopenia (n=3) and hypokalemia (n=3). Seven pts (44%)) had a grade 3-4 drug-related TEAE. One pt was not evaluable for response. ORR was 53%) (8/15), including 1 pt who achieved CR {see Table 8 and Figure 8 (which illustrates duration of treatment, time to first response, best response, and study outcomes)). Of 10 evaluable pts who had received prior HMA Tx, 5 (50%>) had a response with COMPOUND A, including the pt in CR. Responses for the 4 pts with no prior MDS Tx were a PR and mCR (1 each). Median time to CR, PR, or mCR (sustained >4 weeks) was 24 days (range 17-87) from beginning COMPOUND A Tx, and of HI (sustained >8 weeks) was 11 days (range 11-60). Two pts were reported as having disease progression while on Tx. Median OS was also not reached after a median follow-up of 4.7 months. FoundationOne data were available for 12 pts; the most frequently observed known somatic co-occurring mutations in these MDS pts were ASXL1 and SRSF2. {see Figure 9 which illustrates most frequent co-occurring known somatic gene mutations, sorted by response).

[00363] Discussion: Daily Tx with oral COMPOUND A monotherapy was well tolerated and induced responses in more than one-half of these MDS pts with mIDH2, 50%> of whom had higher-risk disease, and two-thirds of whom had failed prior HMA Tx. Notably, one-half of evaluable MDS pts who had failed prior HMA Tx had a response, including a CR, with

COMPOUND A monotherapy. Only 2 pts experienced disease progression during Tx.

Mutational testing is rapidly becoming essential to diagnosis and prognostication in MDS, and assessment of IDH2 mutations can identify MDS pts who may benefit from targeted Tx with COMPOUND A. Table 7. Baseline characteristics of MDS patients treated with COMPOUND A

[00366] Results: For the 17 patients with MDS in the study, Median age was 67 years (range 45-78) {see Table 9). R140 mutations were more common than R172 mutations (88% vs 12%). Out of 17 patients, 13 (76%) had Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance of 0-1, and 4 (24%) had ECOG performance of 2. At entry, 4 (24%) patients had no prior anticancer therapy, 7 (41%) patients had undergone one prior anti-cancer regimen, and 6 (35%) patients had undergone more than two prior anti -cancer regimens. The patients had undergone the following prior anti-cancer treatments: 13 (76%) patients had been previously treated with a hypomethylating agent (FDVIA), 2 (12%) patients had been treated with lenalidomide, and 8 (47%)) patients had been treated previously teated with other anticancer agents (Sorafenib (2 patients), vosaroxin (1 patient), procrit (1 patient), pracinostat (1 patient), cytarabine + clofarabine (1 patient), ruxolitinib (1 patient), rigosertib (1 patient), and 4 patients had not undergone any prior anti-cancer treatement. Mean time since diagnosis for the patients was 16.8 months (SD = 14.5). Additional baseline characteristics of MDS patients treated with COMPOUND A are provided in Table 9.

Table 9. Baseline characteristics of MDS patients treated with COMPOUND A

[00367] Grade 3-4 treatment-emergent AEs (TEAEs) were reported for 14 patients (82%); the most frequent were hyperbilirubinemia (n=5, unconjugated, includes hyperbilirubinemia and blood bilirubin increased), pneumonia (n=4), thrombocytopenia (n=4), anemia (n = 3), hypokalemia (n=3), dyspnea (n = 2) and tumor lysis syndrome (n = 2). Six patients had a grade 3-4 drug-related TEAE. COMPOUND A-related serious TEAEs were reported in 4 patients (tumor lysis syndrome [2], blood bilirubin increased, transaminitis). No treatment related deaths were reported (see Table 10).

Table 10: Grade 3-4 Treatment-emergent Adverse Events

[00368] Of 13 patients who had received prior HMA therapy, 7 (54%) had a response with COMPOUND A. Of patients who attained HI, 2 had trilineage and 2 had bilineage improvement. The median time to response in the treated patients was 21 days (range 10-87). Table 11 provides a summary of responses in patients. Figure 10 illustrates treatment durations and study outcomes. Median number of treatment of cycles was 3. Figure 10 illustraes overall survival in the treated patients indicating that at median follow-up of 7.5 months, median overall survival was not reached. Table 1 1. Overall response

[00369] FoundationOne data were available for 13 out of 17 patients, the most frequently observed known somatic co-occurring mutations in these MDS patients were ASXL1 and SRSF2. (see Figure 12 which illustrates co-occurring mutations and clinical response to COMPOUND A monotherapy). Figure 13 illustrates co-mutational frequency in MDS patients having mIDH2.

[00370] Analysis of MDS patients for association of gene mutations found with overall response rate (ORR) was performed on patients who received COMPOUND A and where a clinical response was captured for at least one time point during treatment (Table 12). An average of 2.6 genes were mutated in each patient beyond IDH2.

Table 12: Association of known and likely somatic mutations identified by FoundationOne Heme panel with response to COMPOUND A

[00371] In certain embodiments, a high level of co-mutational heterogeneity is present in MDS patients. In certain embodiments, 16 different additional genes other than IDH2 are present with mutations with an average of 2.6 genes mutated per patient. In certain

embodiments, clinical responses (> HI) in MDS patients to COMPOUND A are observed in the presence of all mutations except TP53, U2AF1, SETBPl, TCF3, STAG2, NRAS, JAK2 and BRAF. In certain embodiments, patients with mutations in SRSF2, MPL and ASXLl are enriched in MDS patients with clinical response (> HI) to COMPOUND A.
