Brief summary

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and tolerability of pevonedistat administered as a single agent and in combination with azacitidine in adult east Asian participants with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) or myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS).

Detailed description

The drug being tested in this study is called Pevonedistat. Pevonedistat is being tested to treat people with myelodysplastic syndromes MDS (including nonproliferative chronic myelomonocytic leukemia \[CMML\]) and AML (acute myeloid leukaemia) as a single-agent and in combination treatment with azacitidine. This study will look at the safety and tolerability, the recommended phase 2/phase 3 dose of pevonedistat administered in combination with azacitidine, pharmacokinetics and response to treatment in participants who take single agent pevonedistat compared to participants who take pevonedistat and azacitidine. The study will enroll approximately 37 participants. Participants will be assigned into one of the four treatment groups which will remain disclosed to the patient and study doctor during the study. Participants will be first enrolled at single-agent low dose level (25 mg/m\^2). If this dose is tolerable, participants will be enrolled in parallel at single-agent higher dose level (44 mg/m\^2) and in combination treatment cohorts. * Pevonedistat 25 mg/m\^2 * Pevonedistat 44 mg/m\^2 * Pevonedistat 10 mg/m\^2 and azacitidine 75 mg/m\^2 combination * Pevonedistat 20 mg/m\^2 and azacitidine 75 mg/m\^2 combination Participants will receive pevonedistat infusion intravenously and azacitidine via intravenous or subcutaneous route. This multi-center trial will be conducted in Japan, Korea and Taiwan. The overall time to participate in this study is approximately 24 months. Participants will attend the End of Study (EOS) visit for safety, 30 days after receiving their last dose of study drug or before the start of subsequent antineoplastic therapy (other than hydroxyurea).

Number of Participants With Dose Limiting Toxicities (DLTs) Based on National Cancer Institute Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (NCI CTCAE) Version 4.03 During Cycle 1

DLT: Any of following events considered possibly related to study drug(s) by investigator: Grade (G) 3 or greater nausea and/or emesis despite use of optimal antiemetic prophylaxis; G3 diarrhea occurred despite maximal supportive therapy; G3 arthralgia/myalgia despite use of optimal analgesia; G3 nonhematologic toxicity with exceptions: 1) Brief fatigue, 2) hypophosphatemia; Persistent elevations of transaminases/bilirubin above G2 beyond 2 days between doses; Other study drug-related nonhematologic toxicities G2 or greater, required a dose reduction/discontinuation of pevonedistat. G3 or greater hematologic toxicities, including G3 or 4 febrile neutropenia, considered DLTs if: A delay in initiation of Cycle 2 due to lack of adequate recovery from treatment-related toxicity: 1) Of more than (\>) 4 weeks due to hematologic toxicity believed not related to leukemic infiltration. Bone marrow (BM) evaluation may have been required. 2) Of \>2 weeks due to nonhematologic toxicities.

Time frame: Cycle 1 (Cycle length = 21 days [single agent arms]; 28 days [combination arms])

Population: The DLT evaluable population was defined as all participants who either experienced DLT during Cycle 1 or received all scheduled doses of study drug during Cycle 1 without DLT.

ORR for Participants With MDS

ORR for MDS: Percentage of participants with CR,PR or hematologic improvement(HI) based on IWG Response Criteria. CR: BM:\<=5% myeloblasts with normal maturation of all cell lines; persistent dysplasia noted peripheral blood: hemoglobin (Hgb)\>=11 gram per deciliter (g/dL),platelets\>=100\*10\^9/L,neutrophils \>=1.0\*10\^9/L, blasts 0%. PR:CR criteria if abnormal before treatment except: BM blasts decreased by \>=50% from pretreatment but still\>5%; cellularity, morphology not relevant. HI criteria: Erythroid response:Hgb up by \>=1.5 g/dL; transfused RBC reduced by at least 4 red blood cell (RBC) transfusions/8 weeks comparatively last 8 weeks; Platelet response: Increase of \>=30\*10\^9/L for participants starting with \>20\*10\^9/L platelets; increase from \<20\*10\^9/L to \>20\*10\^9/L and by 100%; Neutrophil response: At least 100% and absolute increase \>0.5\*10\^9/L; Progression/relapse after HI: Granulocytes/platelets decreased by 50% from maximum; Hgb reduced by \>=1.5 g/dL; transfusion dependence.

Time frame: From first dose up to 30 days after last dose of study drug or before start of subsequent antineoplastic therapy, whichever comes earlier up to Cycle 19 (up to Day 429, single agent)(Cycle=21 days) and Cycle 65 (up to Day 1850, combination)(Cycle=28 days)

Population: Response evaluable population was defined as all participants who received at least 1 dose of study drug, had measurable disease at baseline, and had at least 1 post baseline disease assessment. Here, overall number of participants analyzed signifies those participants who were evaluable for this outcome measure.

Overall Response Rate (ORR) for Participants With AML

ORR for AML was defined as the percentage of participants with a complete remission (CR), CR with incomplete blood count recovery (CRi), or partial remission (PR) based on Modified International Working Group (IWG) Response Criteria for AML. CR was defined as participant achieved the morphologic leukemia-free state and had an absolute neutrophil count (ANC) of more than 1,000 per microliter (/mcL) and platelets of greater than or equal to (\>=) 100,000/mcL. A morphologic leukemia-free state requires less than (\<) 5 percent (%) blasts in an aspirate sample with marrow spicules and with a count of at least 200 nucleated cells. CRi was, after chemotherapy, some participants who fulfilled all of the criteria for CR except for residual neutropenia (\<1,000/mcL) or thrombocytopenia (\<100,000/mcL). PR designation required all the hematologic values for a CR but with a decrease of at least 50% in the percentage of blasts to between 5% and 25% in the bone marrow aspirate.

Time frame: From first dose up to 30 days after last dose of study drug or before start of subsequent antineoplastic therapy, whichever comes earlier up to Cycle 19 (up to Day 429, single agent)(Cycle=21 days) and Cycle 65 (up to Day 1850, combination)(Cycle=28 days)
