Brief Summary

This is an open-label, phase 2 study of oral arsenic trioxide (Arsenol ®) in combination with ascorbic acid and investigator choice of low-intensity therapy in patients with previously untreated or relapse/refractory TP53-mutated acute myeloid leukemia (AML), myelodysplastic neoplasm (MDS), chronic myelomonocytic leukemia (CMML).

Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status of 0-2 7. Women of childbearing potential and fertile men must agree to use an approved method of contraception from Screening until 30 days after the last dose of oral arsenic trioxide, ascorbic acid, venetoclax and azacitidine/decitabine/oral-decitabine-cedazuridine. Exclusion Criteria: Inclusion Criteria 1. Willing and able to provide informed consent 2. Age ≥18 years 3.

Exclusion Criteria 1. Use of an investigational agent within 14 days of study treatment (or at least 7 half-lives of that agent, whichever is longer), prior to the first dose of oral arsenic trioxide 2.
