The following subtypes are eligible for the study: adult T-cell lymphoma/leukemia, extranodal natural killer (NK)/T-cell lymphoma nasal type, enteropathy-associated T-cell lymphoma, monomorphic epitheliotropic intestinal T-cell lymphoma, hepatosplenic T-cell lymphoma, subcutaneous panniculitis-like T-cell lymphoma, peripheral T-cell lymphoma not otherwise specified, angioimmunoblastic T-cell lymphoma, follicular T-cell lymphoma, nodal peripheral T-cell with T-follicular helper (THF) phenotype, and anaplastic large-cell lymphoma.
For Phase 2 Cohorts 3 and 4, patients must have evidence of documented progressive disease and must have received at least two prior systemic therapies.
- Subjects with CD30-positive lymphoma must have received, be ineligible for, or intolerant to brentuximab vedotin, provided that brentuximab vedotin is locally approved and available.
- Subjects with mycosis fungoides or Sezary syndrome must have received, be ineligible or intolerant to mogamulizumab, provided that mogamulizumab is locally approved and available.
In the Phase 2 portion of the protocol only, subjects must have measurable disease according to response criteria appropriate for their type of cancer.
a. For Phase 2 Cohort 3 (PTCL), measurable disease by contrast-enhanced diagnostic CT (at least 1 nodal lesion >1.5 cm or extranodal lesions >1.0 cm) is required.
- Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status of 0, 1, or 2.
Acceptable organ function, as evidenced by the following laboratory data:
- Aspartate aminotransferase (AST) and alanine aminotransferase (ALT) <=2.0 * upper limit of normal (ULN).
- Total serum bilirubin <=1.5 * ULN
Absolute neutrophil count (ANC):
- Phase 1 and 2 (except Phase 2 subjects with known lymphoma; ie, not applicable for Cohorts 3 or 4) >=1500 cells/mm3
- Phase 2 subjects with known lymphoma: >=1000 cells/mm3 (>750 cell/mm3 for subjects with lymphoma in bone marrow)
Platelet count:
- Phase 1 and 2 (except Phase 2 subject with known lymphoma; ie, not applicable for Cohorts 3 or 4) >=100,000 cells/mm3
- Phase 2 subjects with known lymphoma: >= 50,000 cells/mm3; >=25,000 cells/mm3 for subjects with lymphoma in bone marrow
- Serum creatinine levels <= 1.5 * ULN, or calculated (by Cockcroft-Gault formula or other accepted formula) or measure creatinine clearance >=50 mL/min.
- Amylase and lipase <=ULN.
- Women of child-bearing potential (according to recommendations of the Clinical Trial Facilitation Group [CTFG]; see protocol for details) must not be pregnant or breastfeeding and must have a negative pregnancy test at screening. Women of child-bearing potential and men with female partners of child-bearing potential must agree to practice 2 highly effective contraceptive measures of birth control (as described in the protocol) and must agree not to become pregnant or father a child while receiving treatment with study drug and for at least 3 months after completing treatment. Contraceptive measures which may be considered highly effective comprise combined hormonal contraception (oral, vaginal, or transdermal) or progestogen-only hormonal contraception (oral, injectable, implantable) associated with inhibition of ovulation, intrauterine device, intrauterine hormone-releasing system, bilateral tubal occlusion, sexual abstinence, and surgically successful vasectomy. Abstinence is acceptable only if it is consistent with the preferred and usual lifestyle of the subject. Periodic abstinence (eg, calendar, ovulation, symptothermal, or postovulation methods) and withdrawal are not acceptable methods of birth control.
Exclusion Criteria:
- Hypersensitivity to ASTX660, excipients of the drug product, or other components of the study treatment regimen.
- Poor medical risk because of systemic diseases (e.g. active uncontrolled infections) in addition to the qualifying disease under study.
- Life-threatening illness, significant organ system dysfunction, or other condition that, in the investigator's opinion, could compromise subject safety or the integrity of the study outcomes, or interfere with the absorption or metabolism of ASTX660.

- At least 6 weeks must have elapsed since CAR-T infusion and subjects must have experienced disease progression, and not have residual circulating CAR-T cells in peripheral blood (based on local assessment). Any encountered treatment-related toxicities must have resolved to Grade ≤1.
- Concurrent second malignancy currently requiring active therapy, except breast or prostate cancer stable on or responding to endocrine therapy or superficial bladder cancer [Phase 2].
- Known central nervous system (CNS) lymphoma [Phase 2].
- Patients with a history of allogenic transplant must not have ≥Grade 3 graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) or any clinically significant GVHD requiring systemic immunosuppression [Phase 2].
- Systemic corticosteroids >20 mg prednisone equivalent (unless patient has been taking a continuous dose for >3 weeks prior to study entry and there is documented radiological progression) [Phase 2]. Stable dose of medium or low potency topical corticosteroids for at least 3 weeks prior to study entry are permitted [Phase 2].

Dose-escalation stage to identify the MTD and the RP2D, defined as either the MTD or a dose below the MTD that the Data and Safety Review Committee (DSRC) agree shows adequate pharmacological evidence of target engagement and/or clinical activity. Subjects will receive ASTX660 once a day for 7 consecutive days every other week of each 28-day cycle (ie, [7 days on/ 7 days off] ×2; daily dosing on Days 1-7 and 15-21). The starting dose will be escalated stepwise in successive cohorts of 3 to 6 evaluable subjects each (standard 3+3 study design), until the RP2D is determined.
Dose-expansion stage to confirm tolerability of ASTX660 at the RP2D using the every-other-week daily dosing regimen. Up to a total of 12 subjects (including the 3 or 6 subjects treated at the RP2D in Part 1) will be treated at the RP2D.
The purpose of the optional Part 3 is to allow for exploration of an alternative dosing regimen of ASTX660 based on emerging safety, PK, and pharmacodynamic (PD) data from Parts 1 and 2 (using the original every-other-week dosing regimen), with agreement of the DSRC. If Part 3 is conducted, the plan is to enroll up to 18 evaluable subjects in 1 or more cohorts using a standard 3+3 study design.
Treatment with ASTX660 for recurrent/metastatic head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) not responsive or relapsed after standard therapy.
Treatment with ASTX660 for relapsed or refractory diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL).
Treatment with ASTX660 for progressive or relapsed peripheral T-cell lymphoma (PTCL).
Treatment with ASTX660 for relapsed or refractory cutaneous T-cell lymphoma (CTCL).
Treatment with ASTX660 for other tumor types that are characterized by a molecular feature that may confer sensitivity to ASTX660 (eg, oncogenic activation of the NF-κB pathway or documented amplification of the gene loci encoding c-IAP1 or c-IAP2), pending confirmation in writing by the Astex medical monitor.
Treatment with ASTX660 for cervical carcinoma not responsive or relapsed after standard therapy.
