Trial Description

The purpose of this study is to determine the recommended Phase 2 dose(s) (RP2D[s]) of
bleximenib in phase 1 Part 1 (Dose Escalation) and to determine the safety and
tolerability at RP2D in Phase 1 Part 2 (Dose expansion). The purpose of the Phase 2 part
of the study is to evaluate the efficacy of bleximenib at the RP2D.

Eligibility Requirements

Inclusion Criteria:

Phase 1:

- Age 2 years and above (pediatric cohort only), all other cohorts 18 years and above

- Relapsed or refractory (R/R) acute leukemia and has exhausted, or is ineligible for,
available therapeutic options

- Acute leukemia harboring histone-lysine N-methyltransferase 2A (KMT2A),
nucleophosmin 1 gene (NPM1) or nucleoporin 98 gene or nucleoporin 214 gene (NUP98 or
NUP214) alterations

Phase: 2

- Participants greater than 18 years are eligible

- Must have had an initial diagnosis of acute myeloid leukemia (AML) per the WHO 2022
classification criteria and have relapsed/refractory disease

- AML harboring KMT2A-r (gene rearrangement/translocation) or NPM1 mutations only

For Both Phase 1 and 2:

- Pretreatment clinical laboratory values meeting the following criteria: (a)
Hematology: white blood cell (WBC) count less than or equal to (<=) 20*10^9/liter
(L) and (b) renal function; For adult participants, estimated or measured glomerular
filtration rate greater than equal (>=) 30 milliliter per minute (mL/min) per four
variable MDRD equation. For pediatric participants an estimated or measured
glomerular filtration rate >50 mL/min per the CKiD (Chronic Kidney Disease in
Children) Schwartz formula

- Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status grade of 0, 1 or 2.
Pediatric participants only: Performance status >=70 by Lansky scale (for
participants less than [<]16 years of age) or >=70 Karnofsky scale (for participants
>=16 years of age)

beta-human chorionic gonadotropin at screening and within 48 hours prior to the
first dose of study treatment

sperm or egg donations or freezing for future reproductive use while on study and
for 90 days (males) or 6 months (females) after the last dose of study treatment

for females >= 470 msec. Participants with a family history of Long QT syndrome are
excluded

- Exclusion criteria related to stem cell transplant: a. Received prior treatment with
allogenic bone marrow or stem cell transplant <=3 months before the first dose of
study treatment; b. Has evidence of graft versus host disease; c. Received donor
lymphocyte infusion <=1 month before the first dose of study treatment; d. Requires
immunosuppressant therapy (exception: daily doses <=10 milligrams (mg) prednisone or
equivalent are allowed for adrenal replacement)

- Prior cancer immunotherapy within 4 weeks prior to enrollment or blinatumomab within
2 weeks prior to enrollment. Additional prior cancer therapies must not be given
within 4 weeks prior to enrollment or 5 half-lives of the agent (whichever is
shorter)
