This is a Phase 1 dose escalation, open label, multicenter study, evaluating the safety,
tolerability, clinical activity, pharmacokinetics (PK) and pharmacodynamics (PD) of ZN-d5 in
subjects with Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma (NHL) and subjects with Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML). NHL
subjects will continue to dose escalate until either the MTD or the RP2D is identified.
Subjects with AML will start enrolling into the trial once a safe dose is identified in
subjects with NHL.

transfusion of platelets. A platelet count of ≥ 50 × 109/L is allowed if the percentage of
lymphoma cells in the bone marrow is > 50%.
Hemoglobin ≥ 8.0 g/dL after at least 7 days post the last transfusion or growth factor
Alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and aspartate aminotransferase (AST) ≤ 3 × upper limit of
normal (ULN). If liver function abnormalities are due to underlying liver involvement, AST
and ALT ≤ 5 × ULN.
Total serum bilirubin ≤ 1.5 × ULN or no limit in the case of Gilbert's disease Serum
creatinine ≤ 1.5 × ULN or creatinine clearance (CrCl) ≥ 60 mL/min;
- Inclusion Criteria for AML
Relapsed and/or primary refractory AML as defined by WHO 2016 revised criteria
Subjects must have AML, relapsed or refractory to previously available therapy.
Adequate organ function as defined by the following criteria:
Total serum bilirubin < 1.5 × ULN or no limit in the case of Gilbert's disease
AST/ALT ≤ 3 × ULN. Levels of AST and/or ALT ≤ 5 × the ULN may be acceptable for subjects
with known leukemic involvement of the liver after discussion with the study Medical
Monitor.
Serum creatinine < 1.5 × ULN or CrCL ≥ 60 mL/min;
Exclusion Criteria:
• Exclusion Criteria Applicable to the Study and Indications
Any of the following treatment interventions within the specified time frame prior to Cycle
1 Day 1/Ramp-up Cycle Day 1:
Major surgery within 28 days (the surgical incision should be fully healed prior to study
drug administration).
Radiation therapy within 14 days;
Presence of a clinically significant nonhematologic toxicity of prior chemotherapy that has
not resolved to ≤ Grade 1 or Baseline, whichever is greater, as determined by CTCAE v 5.0
(Section 14.2), with the exception of alopecia, neuropathy or skin pigmentation.
Autologous or allogeneic stem cell transplant within 2 months.
Receiving immunosuppression or having active fungal disease or active graft- versus-host
disease after allogeneic stem cell transplantation on Cycle 1 Day 1/ Ramp-up Cycle Day 1.
Current use of an investigational agent that is not expected to be cleared by the first
dosing of study drug or that has demonstrated to have prolonged side effects.
A serious illness or medical condition(s) including, but not limited to, the following:
Unstable brain lymphoma with clinical symptoms.
Known active Central Nervous System (CNS) leukemia. Controlled CNS leukemia is defined by
the absence of active clinical signs of CNS disease and no evidence of CNS leukemia on the
most recent 2 simultaneous cerebral spinal fluid (CSF) evaluations.
Subjects with myocardial impairment of any cause (e.g., cardiomyopathy, ischemic heart
disease, significant valvular dysfunction, hypertensive heart disease, and congestive heart
failure) resulting in heart failure by New York Heart Association (NYHA) Classification
(Class III or IV).
Acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) related illness or hepatitis B or C with
cirrhosis of the liver.
Other severe acute or chronic medical or psychiatric condition or laboratory abnormality
that may increase the risk associated with study participation or study drug
administration, or may interfere with the interpretation of study results, and in the
judgment of the
Investigator would make the subject inappropriate for entry into this study.

requirement for IV alimentation, active peptic ulcer, chronic diarrhea or vomiting
considered to be clinically significant in the judgment of the Investigator, or prior
surgical procedures affecting absorption.

(antibiotic, antifungal or antiviral treatment) may be entered into the study but must be
afebrile and hemodynamically stable for ≥ 72 hours.

last dose are excluded.

electrocardiogram (ECG) demonstrating a QTcF of > 480 msec, except for subjects with
atrioventricular pacemakers or other conditions (e.g., right bundle branch block) that
