Exclusion Criteria:
- Diagnosed with acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL, M3)
- Has known active central nervous system (CNS) leukemia
- Allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplant (Allo-HSCT) within 60 days of the first dose of emavusertib, or clinically significant graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) requiring ongoing up titration of immunosuppressive medications prior to start of emavusertib

- Known allergy or hypersensitivity to any component of the formulation of emavusertib
- Major surgery, other than diagnostic surgery, <28 days from the start of emavusertib; minor surgery <14 days from the start of emavusertib

- Uncontrolled or severe cardiovascular disease
- Gastrointestinal disease or disorder that could interfere with the swallowing, oral absorption, or tolerance of emavusertib
- History of other invasive malignancy, unless definitively treated with curative intent, provided it is deemed to be at low risk for recurrence by the treating physician
- Pregnant or lactating
- Systemic fungal, bacterial, viral, or other infection that is not controlled
- Any other severe, acute, or chronic medical, psychiatric or social condition, or laboratory abnormality that may increase the risk of trial participation or emavusertib administration

Emavusertib (CA-4948) dose escalation
Emavusertib dose escalation + Venetoclax
Emavusertib monotherapy dose expansion
Patients receive emavusertib monotherapy BID daily. Cycles repeat every 28 days in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.
The starting dose for emavusertib will be 200 mg BID for 21 days of a 28-day Cycle. Anticipated emavusertib doses will be 200 and 300 mg BID. Venetoclax will be administered at 100 mg orally (Day 1) per the product label at the same time each day with a ramp up over 3 days to 400 mg for 21days of a 28-day Cycle. Second and subsequent cycles start with target dose level. This arm of the study has been closed to enrollment.
The Expansion phase will begin once the RP2D from Phase 1 Dose Escalation phase has been identified. There will be 3 Cohorts and patients will be assigned to each Cohort based on baseline disease.
