Exclusion

Exclusion Criteria:

  1.

  1. Known human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection;

  2. Pregnancy (positive pregnancy test at screening) or lactating females;

  1. Patient has other concomitant malignant tumours, except for:
  • Curatively treated skin basal cell carcinoma, breast cancer in situ, orcervical carcinoma in situ, etc.;

  • Patients with low-grade lymphoma who are in CR, asymptomatic, without largemass lesions, and do not require systemic therapy or radiotherapy;

  • Other malignant tumours treated with curative intent, with CR achieved for atleast 2 years, and no requirement for systemic maintenance therapy orradiotherapy;

  1. Received autologous haematopoietic stem cell transplant (ASCT) or Chimeric AntigenReceptor T-cell (CAR-T) therapy within 60 days prior to screening, or toxicityrelated to ASCT or CAR-T therapy has not yet resolved;

  2. Underwent allogeneic HSCT within 100 days prior to screening, or the patient stillhas Grade ≥ 2 acute graft versus host disease or chronic graft versus host diseaserequiring systemic treatment, or the patient still requires immunosuppression (prednisone ≤ 10 mg/day or equivalent dose of other corticosteroids is permissiblefor screening; corticosteroids need to be gradually tapered and discontinued afterenrolment unless there is a specific reason);

  3. Received donor lymphocyte infusion (DLI) within 28 days prior to screening;

Study Description

The study is divided into 2 phases. Phase1 part will enroll 98 patients to evaluate safety and tolerance of BN104 in patients with relapsed/refractory (R/R) Acute Leukemia to determine maximum tolerated dose and recommended phase2 dose (RP2D), including approximately 66 adult patients and 32 adolescent patients with specific mutations (KMT2A gene rearrangement, NPM1 gene mutation, NUP98 mutation) enrolled at phaseI.

Phase II expansion part will enroll 168 patients and be conducted at the selected dose level to further evaluate the safety and tolerability of BN104, as well as preliminary efficacy in Acute leukemia subjects with specific mutations (KMT2A gene rearrangement or NPM1 gene mutation). Patients will be allocated into 2 Acute Leukemia subgroup cohorts depends on their genotype.

  • Cohort A: Patients with Relapsed/refractory AML subjects with NPM1 mutations

  • Cohort B: Patients with relapsed/refractory acute leukaemia with KMT2A rearrangement (including AML, ALL, or MPL)

Patients will receive orally administrated BN104 once daily or twice daily. Study drug will be administered in 28-day cycles until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity, death, Informed consent withdraw ect.

Laboratory tests will be performed weekly in Cycles 1-2, bi-weekly in Cycle3 and every 4weeks from Cycle 4 onwards. Efficacy assessment will be performed on baseline, C2D1, C3D1 and every 2 cycles from Cycle3 onwards. Additional clinical assessments and laboratory tests may be performed at discretion of the investigator as clinically indicated.
