- •Subject must have adequate hematologic, renal, and hepatic function.
Exclusion Criteria
- •Subject has received prior therapy with a BH3 mimetic.
- •Subject has MDS evolving from a pre-existing myeloproliferative neoplasm (MPN).

- •Subject has received allogeneic HSCT or solid organ transplantation.
- •Subject has received a live attenuated vaccine within 4 weeks prior to the first dose of study drug.

Number of Participants With Adverse Events (AEs)
Time Frame: Up to Maximum of 24 months
An adverse event (AE) is defined as any untoward medical occurrence in a patient or clinical investigation participant administered a pharmaceutical product which does not necessarily have a causal relationship with this treatment. The investigator assesses the relationship of each event to the use of study. A serious adverse event (SAE) is an event that results in death, is life-threatening, requires or prolongs hospitalization, results in a congenital anomaly, persistent or significant disability/incapacity or is an important medical event that, based on medical judgment, may jeopardize the participant and may require medical or surgical intervention to prevent any of the outcomes listed above. Treatment-emergent adverse events/treatment-emergent serious adverse events (TEAEs/TESAEs) are defined as any event that began or worsened in severity on or after the first dose of study drug.
Secondary Outcomes
- Event-Free Survival (EFS)(Measured from the date of the first dose of study drug to date of earliest disease progression, death, or initiation of new non-protocol-specified anti-MDS therapy without documented progression, and for up to 5 years after the last subject is enrolled.)
- Overall Survival (OS)(Measured from the date of first dose of study drug to the date of death, and for up to 5 years after the last subject is enrolled.)
- Rate of Modified Overall Response (mORR)(Measured from Cycle 1 Day 1 (C1D1) as long as the subject continues to benefit, or until the occurrence of unacceptable toxicity, death, exercise of investigator discretion, or withdrawal of consent, and for an anticipated maximum duration of 24 months.)
- Time to next treatment (TTNT)(Measured from first dose of study drug to start of new non-protocol specified MDS therapy, and for up to 5 years after the last subject is enrolled.)
- Duration of mORR(Measured from the date of first response (CR, mCR or PR) to the earliest documentation of progressive disease (PD), and for an anticipated maximum duration of 24 months.)

- Time to Transformation acute myeloid leukemia (AML)(Measured from the date of first dose of study drug to the date of documented AML transformation for an anticipated maximum duration of 24 months.)
