Study of FF-10101-01 in Patients With Relapsed or Refractory Acute Myeloid Leukemia

Subjects will receive FF-10101-01 orally once a day repeated every 28 days =1 cycle Frequent blood draws will be collected to measure pharmacodynamic parameters and pharmacodynamic activity.

Disease assessments, including bone marrow aspirates, will be performed at the beginning of cycles 1-3, and every 3 months thereafter. Subjects who demonstrate objective response or stable disease will be allowed to continue therapy with FF-10101-01 until , observation of unacceptable adverse events, or until the subject is no longer deriving benefit based on the opinion of the investigator.

Subjects who are able and willing to give written informed consent

• Documented primary or secondary AML, as defined by the WHO criteria (2008), by histopathology refractory to previous induction chemotherapy and/or relapsed after achieving remission with a prior chemotherapy and who are not candidates for other available therapy likely to confer clinical benefit.
• Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status of 0 to 2
• In the absence of rapidly progressing disease, the interval from prior treatment to time of FF-10101-01 administration should be at least 14 days for cytotoxic agents other than hydroxyurea, at least 5 half-lives for non-cytotoxic agents, and 14 days for monoclonal antibody therapies. Hydroxyurea may be continued for a maximum of 14 days from the start of FF-10101-01 dosing, through Cycle 1 Day 14, with a maximal dose of 5 grams/day
• Persistent chronic clinically significant toxicities from prior chemotherapy or surgery must be ≤Grade 2
• If subject has had a hematopoietic stem cell transplant, subject must be ≥60 days post-transplant with no clinically significant GVHD requiring systemic therapy
• Alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and/or aspartate aminotransferase (AST) ≤3 times the upper limit of normal and total bilirubin of ≤1.5x the upper limit of normal. If total bilirubin is equal to or exceeds 1.5x the upper limit of normal, the subject can still be included if direct bilirubin is ≤1.5x the upper limit of normal
• Calculated creatinine clearance of ≥60 mL/min
• Female subjects of childbearing potential and sexually mature male subjects must agree to use a medically accepted method of contraception other than an oral contraceptive for the duration of the study.

• Use of systemic immunosuppressive agents within 14 days prior to first dose of FF-10101
• Subjects taking drugs known to cause Torsades de Pointes will be excluded from the study unless therapeutic substitution is possible
• Subjects known to have long QT syndrome
