• Mutations in the TP53 gene (mTP53) are found in approximately 10% of MDS
and AML patients and predict for inferior OS (median OS 6-12 mo).
• Hypomethylating agents have emerged as a standard frontline therapy for
mTP53 MDS although with an overall response rate (ORR) of 30-50%,
complete response (CR) rate of 20-30%, and poor durability of response.
• TP53 VAF clonal suppression with treatment predicts for improved OS as well
as improved OS with allo-HSCT (see ASH Abstract #1817)
• APR-246 is a small molecule that stabilizes mutant p53 protein in its wild-type
conformation, activating downstream anti-tumor cell death pathways.

Abstract # 3091
• APR-246 + AZA combination is well tolerated in mutant TP53 MDS/AML. No DLTs occurred in the Phase 1b part of the trial.
• The RP2D of APR-246 was 4500 mg days 1-4 in combination with standard 7 day azacitidine 75mg/m2
• In Phase 1b part, overall response rate of 100% in response evaluable patients with 82% CR rate
• Serial p53 IHC and NGS for TP53 VAF indicative of deep molecular remissions.
• Enriched pathway analysis via Reactome following APR-246 lead-in phase showed transcriptional activation of p53 targets (FDR =
9.16E-09), including pathways involved in cell cycle arrest, apoptosis, DNA repair, and regulation of TP53 activity.
• Responses to date support planned Phase 3 registrational trial of APR-246+AZA versus AZA alone in TP53 mutant MDS.
