Or
2. Diagnosed AML according to the 2016 revision to the WHO classification of myeloid neoplasms and acute leukemia: =20% blasts in peripheral blood or bone marrow
3. Adult =18 years of age
3. Failure/relapse following prior first-line AML or MDS treatment, defined as:
For MDS:
i.Relapse after initial complete or partial response or stable disease with HI, according to International Working Group (IWG) 2006 criteria following treatment with; azacitidine, decitabine.
ii.Failure to achieve complete or partial response or stable disease with HI according to International Working Group (IWG) 2006 criteria after at least 4 cycles of azacitidine or decitabine all within the last 1 year.
iii.MDS progression while on azacitidine/decitabine treatment irrespective of the number of cycles the patient has received.
For AML:
i.Relapse after initial CR/CRi/CRh following treatment with; azacitidine, decitabine, LDAC, venetoclax+HMA, or venetoclax+LDAC
ii.Failure to achieve CR, CRh or CRi following at least 4 cycles of azacitidine or decitabine or 2 cycles of venetoclax+ HMA or Venetoclax+ LDAC all within the last 1 year.
iii.AML progression while on HMA, LDAC, or venetoclax+ HMA or Venetoclax+ LDAC irrespective of the number of cycles the patient has received.
5. The participant is not able to receive an allogeneic bone marrow transplantation (BMT) at the time of study enrolment (BMT may be an option once the patient completed the study).
6. Not eligible for intensive chemotherapy.

12. Women of reproductive potential must use two forms of effective birth control methods
13. Male subjects must agree to refrain from unprotected sex and sperm donation from initial study drug administration until 3 months following the last dose of study drug
14. Subject must voluntarily sign and date an informed consent, approved by an Independent Ethics Committee (IEC)/Institutional Review Board (IRB), prior to the initiation of any screening or study-specific procedures
