Or, if of childbearing potential,
- Must have a negative serum or urine pregnancy test at screening (within 72 hours prior to start of treatment), and
- Must use two forms of birth control£ (at least one of which must be a barrier method) starting at screening and throughout the study period and for 90 days after the final study drug administration.
- Female patient must not be breastfeeding at screening and during the study period, and for 90 days after the final study drug administration
- Female patient must not donate ova starting at screening and throughout the study period, and for 90 days after the final study drug administration.
- Male patient and their female spouse/partners who are of childbearing potential must be using highly effective contraception consisting of two forms of birth control£ (one of which must be a barrier method) starting at screening and continue throughout the study period and for 90 days after the final study drug administration.
- Male patient must not donate sperm starting at screening and throughout the study period and for 90 days after the final study drug administration.
- Patient agrees not to participate in another interventional study while on treatment
Exclusion Criteria:
Patients must not enter the study if any of the following exclusion criteria are fulfilled.
- Patient was diagnosed as acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL)
- Patient has BCR-ABL-positive leukemia
- Patient has an active malignancy other than AML, or Myelodysplastic Syndrome (MDS).
- Patient has persistent non-hematological toxicities of ≥ Grade 2 (CTCAE v4.03), with symptoms and objective findings, from prior AML treatment (including chemotherapy, kinase inhibitors, immunotherapy, experimental agents, radiation, or surgery)
Patient has had hematopoietic stem cell transplant (HSCT) and meets any of the following:
- Has undergone HSCT within the 2 month period prior to the first study dose
- Has clinically significant graft-versus-host-disease(GVHD) requiring treatment
- Has ≥ Grade 2 persistent non-hematological toxicity related to the transplant
- Donor lymphocytes infusion (DLI) is not permitted ≤ 30 days prior to the first study dose or during the first two cycle of treatment on the study.
- Patient with symptomatic central nervous system (CNS) involvement of leukemia or other CNS diseases related to underlying and secondary effects of malignancy.
- Patient has disseminated intravascular coagulation abnormality (DIC).
- Patient has had major surgery within 4 weeks prior to the first study dose.
- Patient has had radiation therapy within 4 weeks prior to the first study dose.
- Patient has congestive heart failure New York Heart Association (NYHA) class 3 or 4, or patient with a history of congestive heart failure NYHA class 3 or 4 in the past, unless a screening echocardiogram or multigated acquisition (MUGA) scan performed within 3 months prior to study entry results in a left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) that is ≥ 45%.
Any of the following cardiac abnormalities of history
- Patient has any clinically important abnormalities in rhythm, conduction or morphology of resting ECG, e.g., complete left bundle branch block, third-degree heart block, second-degree heart block, or PR interval > 250milliseconds (ms).
- Patient has a mean QT interval (QTc) by Friderica's method (QTcF) > 450ms in three successive Screening measurements.
- Patient has any factors that increase the risk of QTc prolongation or risk of arrhythmic events, such as congenital long QT, syndrome, family history of long QT syndrome.
- Patient is unable or unwilling to discontinue concomitant use of drugs that are known to prolong the QT interval.
- Patient is known to have active infection including any identified active COVID-19 infection.
- Patient is known to have human immunodeficiency virus infection.
- Patient has known active hepatitis B or C, or other active hepatic disorder.
- Patient has any condition which, in the investigator's opinion, makes the patient unsuitable for study participation.

Part A Dose Escalation
Part B Dose Exploration
Part C Dose Expansion (tuspetinib as a single agent)
Part C Dose Expansion (Combination Arm - tuspetinib and venetoclax)
For Part A (tuspetinib as a single agent), dose escalation cohort is planned up to 6 dose levels. If a subject in the dose escalation cohort at any dose level achieves clinical response then the dose level will continue to enroll in Part B. If one DLT or less is observed in the 6 patients (<1/6 DLT observed) in Part A, up to 20 evaluable patients can be enrolled in Part B at that dose level.
For Part B (tuspetinib as a single agent), dose exploration cohort is planned up to 4 dose levels.
Part C, dose expansion, consists of 2 arms (tuspetinib as a single agent or tuspetinib plus venetoclax). Patients will be randomly assigned to either arm based on the number of slots available. The initial tuspetinib dose for the single arm will be 120mg.
Part C, dose expansion, consists of 2 arms (tuspetinib or tuspetinib plus venetoclax). Patients will be randomly assigned to either arm based on the number of slots available. The initial tuspetinib dose for the combo arm will be 80mg.
