Outcomes

Primary Outcome Measures

Observed Dose Limiting Toxicities
Observed Dose Limiting Toxicities (DLTs) in DLT-evaluable subjects.
Incidence and severity of AEs, graded according to the National Cancer Institute Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events, v 5.0
Safety profile of ZN-d5.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Pharmacokinetic parameters for ZN-d5 - Cmax
Characterize the Pharmacokinetics of ZN-d5 in subjects with NHL and AML using peak plasma concentration (Cmax).
Pharmacokinetic parameters for ZN-d5 - Tmax
Characterize the Pharmacokinetics of ZN-d5 in subjects with NHL and AML using the time to maximum plasma concentration (Tmax).
Pharmacokinetic parameters for ZN-d5 - AUC
Characterize the Pharmacokinetics of ZN-d5 in subjects with NHL and AML using area under the plasma concentration versus time curve (AUC).
For NHL, evaluate response according to the Lugano 2014 classification
Evaluate response according to the Lugano 2014 classification for NHL subjects. The Lugano Classification is based on a 5-point scale for scoring of metabolically active lesions detected by PET-CT in FDG-avid lymphomas, and lesion size for non-FDG-avid tumors. A complete metabolic response would require a score of 1 or 2 on target and non-target lesions and the spleen for high-risk disease, and a score of 1,2, or 3 for low-risk disease. A partial response, no response, or progression would require a score of 4 or 5 for low-risk disease, and a score of 3, 4, or 5 for high-risk disease.
For AML, remission rate based on European LeukemiaNet 2017 criteria
Evaluate remission rate according to the European LeukemiaNet 2017 criteria (Overall Response Rate (ORR) defined as Complete Remission (CR) + CR with incomplete hematologic recovery (CRi) + Morphologic Leukemia-Free State (MLFS) + Partial Remission (PR)) for AML subjects.
For AML, duration of remission based on European LeukemiaNet 2017 criteria
Evaluate duration of remission according to the European LeukemiaNet 2017 criteria.
