Evaluate other PK parameters of ASTX727.  
Exploratory Objective 
 
 
Study Design and Investigational Plan:  
Study ASTX727-01 will consist of 3 stages: a Dose Escalation Stage, a Dose Confirmation Stage, and a Fixed-Dose 
Combination Stage. 
Dose Escalation Stage 
The Dose Escalation Stage is a single-arm PK-guided 3+3 dose escalation study in subjects with intermediate- or 
high-risk MDS who are candidates for treatment with a hypomethylating agent. At least 3 evaluable subjects will 
be enrolled in each cohort. 
Dosing: 
  Course 1: 
• 
Day -3 (±2 days): Single dose oral decitabine. 
• 
Day 1: Decitabine by 1-hour IV infusion administered at 20 mg/m2. 
• 
Days 2-5: Concomitant oral administration of decitabine + E7727.  
  Course 2: 
• 
Day -3 (± 2 days): Single dose E7727. 
• 
Days 1-5: Concomitant oral administration of decitabine + E7727.  
  Course ≥3: 
• 
Days 1-5: Concomitant oral administration of decitabine + E7727.  
All subjects will continue to receive oral decitabine + E7727 daily×5 of a 28-day course in Course 3 and thereafter 
until the subject has disease progression or unacceptable toxicity, or the subject withdraws consent or is withdrawn 
from the study. 
If no dose limiting toxicities (DLTs) occur in cohort 1 during Course 1, E7727 or oral decitabine will be 
escalated/de-escalated in subsequent cohorts according to protocol Section 4.1.1 until the target mean AUC for oral 
decitabine approaches as close to unity with IV decitabine 20 mg/m2 as possible. 
For the protection of study subjects, a Data and Safety Review Committee (DSRC) will review and evaluate at 
least the 28-day Course 1 safety and PK data from a minimum of 3 evaluable subjects at each dose cohort, and will 
agree on the dose level of oral decitabine and E7727 for the next cohort or agree to expand the current cohort 
(Section 4.4). 
Dose Confirmation Stage 
The Dose Confirmation Stage is a randomized comparison between oral decitabine + E7727 at the doses 
established in the Dose Escalation Stage and IV decitabine 20 mg/m2 1-hour infusion both given daily for 5 days in 
at least 42 evaluable subjects. Subjects will be randomized to the sequence of 
• 
Oral decitabine + E7727 daily×5 in Course 1 followed by IV decitabine daily×5 in Course 2, or 
• 
IV decitabine daily×5 in Course 1 followed by oral decitabine + E7727 daily×5 in Course 2. 
Beginning with Course 3 and all subsequent courses, subjects will receive oral decitabine + E7727 daily×5 of a 
28-day course until the subject has disease progression or unacceptable toxicity, or the subject withdraws consent 
or is withdrawn from the study. 
Fixed-Dose Combination Stage 
This stage is a comparison between a fixed-dose tablet form of ASTX727 and IV decitabine 20 mg/m2. After 
completion of enrollment into the Dose Confirmation Stage, 18-24 evaluable subjects will be randomized into a 
crossover study to confirm that the ASTX727 FDC yields PK exposures and DNA demethylation similar to those 
for IV decitabine. 
Subjects will be randomized in a 1:1 ratio to receive the FDC tablet daily×5 in Course 1 followed by IV decitabine 
daily ×5 in Course 2, or the converse. In Courses ≥3, all subjects will receive the FDC tablet daily ×5 (in a 28-day 
course) until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity or withdrawal from the study.  
Based on (1) data from both the Dose Escalation Stage and Dose Confirmation Stage, which confirmed that the 
combination doses of 100 mg E7727 + 35 mg decitabine emulate the PK and pharmacodynamics (PD) of IV

decitabine 20 mg/m2, and (2) availability of the FDC tablet combining these 2 doses, subjects who are still on 
treatment with the separate E7727 and decitabine capsules in the previous study stages will be allowed to transition 
to treatment with the more convenient FDC tablet at the discretion of the investigator but no later than 23 October 
2017. New clinical supplies of the E7727 and decitabine capsules will not be supported after the expiry date

Study Treatment: 
IV decitabine 20 mg/m2 is to be administered as a 1-hour intravenous infusion per the prescribing information. This 
dose level remains constant throughout the trial. 
The starting dose levels for Cohort 1 in the Dose Escalation Stage are E7727 40 mg and oral decitabine 20 mg. 
Subjects will be fasting on days when receiving study treatment orally. Fasting (no food, milk or alcohol) is 
defined as 2 hours prior to the dose and at least 2 hours post-dose. Only clear liquids such as water, black coffee, 
tea, or fruit juice may be allowed as desired. Administer oral doses with 240 mL (8 fluid oz) of water. Subjects 
should take the investigational medicinal products (IMPs) simultaneously (ie, E7727 followed immediately by oral 
decitabine). The IMPs should be taken at the same time of day (±1 hour) on each dosing day, in at least the first 2 
courses of treatment. When oral decitabine or E7727 is given alone (Day -3 ±2 days of Courses 1 and 2), each will 
be administered at the same dose it is scheduled to be given when the IMPs are combined on subsequent days in 
the same course.  
The ASTX727 FDC tablet is to be administered in the manner described above regarding fasting, administration 
with water, and administration at the same time of day.

Safety Assessments: Safety will be assessed by subject reported and Investigator observed AEs along with 
physical examination clinical laboratory tests (hematology, chemistries, and urinalysis) and ECG. DLTs will be 
determined during the first course of treatment as defined in Section 4.5 (Dose Escalation Stage only). 
Subjects ongoing in the Dose Escalation Stage or Dose Confirmation Stage who transition from the E7727 + 
decitabine capsules to the ASTX727 FDC tablet will continue with all study assessments and procedures as 
indicated for the FDC Stage. 
Sample Size and Statistical Analyses: 
Sample Size for Dose Escalation Stage 
At least 3 evaluable subjects will be treated in each cohort to allow sufficient decitabine PK (AUC) data 
comparison between IV decitabine at the approved dose of 20 mg/m2 (Course 1 Day 1) and the different dose 
levels of oral decitabine + E7727 (decitabine AUC Day 2 and/or Day 5 after oral administration). Up to 6 
additional evaluable subjects may be enrolled in a cohort before PK and safety results from at least the first 3 
subjects in that cohort become available. When the AUC range for a 3-subject cohort is between 0.90-1.10 of IV 
decitabine, and no more than 1 DLT has occurred, additional evaluable subjects may be added to reach up to 12 -18 
subjects in that cohort) to confirm the AUC range at 0.90-1.10 and to confirm safety at no more than 1 DLT in 6 
subjects. If AUC and safety are confirmed in those 12 subjects, the Dose Confirmation Stage of the trial will be 
opened. Otherwise, the dose of E7727 or decitabine will be titrated further (escalated or de-escalated) based on 
AUC and safety until the AUC is confirmed at 0.90-1.10 and safety is confirmed at no more than 1 DLT in 
6 subjects. 
Sample Size for Dose Confirmation Stage 
Approximately 42 evaluable subjects are planned for enrollment into the Dose Confirmation Stage at the final 
recommended dose combination. Data from these subjects will be primarily used to assess decitabine AUC and 
LINE-1 demethylation, using a standard 2 x 2 cross-over design (the first 2 courses), between IV decitabine 
20 mg/m2 daily×5 and the final recommended doses of oral decitabine + E7727.

Version 5.0: 06 April 2017 
Sample Size for Fixed-Dose Combination Stage 
In an equivalence test of the mean decitabine AUCs of the ASTX727 FDC tablet compared with IV decitabine, 
data from the 18-24 evaluable subjects in a standard 2 x 2 crossover design will provide 75%-88% power at a 10% 
significance level using 2 one-sided tests when the true ratio of means is 1.0, the coefficient of variation under an 
unlogged scale is 0.55, and the equivalence limits for the ratio of means are 0.65 and 1.539. The sample size of 
18-24 evaluable subjects in the same 2 x 2 crossover design achieves 78%-86% power to detect non-inferiority in 
the comparison of mean maximum %LINE-1 demethylation from baseline between the FDC tablet and IV 
decitabine using a one-sided t-test when the margin of non-inferiority is -0.075, the true mean difference is 0, the 
standard deviation is 0.15, and the significance level is 0.1. 
Efficacy Analyses: 
Response rates and rates of hematologic improvement will be calculated as defined by the IWG 2006 MDS 
Response Criteria. Rates of transfusion independence will be calculated based on the number of transfusion-
dependent subjects who had no transfusion for at least 56 days during treatment.  
Overall survival will be defined as the number of days from the day the subject received the first dose of study 
treatment to the date of death (regardless of cause). Time to AML will be the number of days from the day the 
subject received the first dose of study treatment to the date of MDS progression to AML as defined by ≥20% 
blasts in bone marrow or peripheral blood, or death. 
Pharmacokinetics/Pharmacodynamics Analyses: 
PK parameters will be summarized descriptively using mean, standard deviation, median and range by dose cohort 
and course/days, and by stage of the study if deemed necessary. PK values obtained after oral decitabine + E7727 
will be compared with those after IV decitabine on an intra-subject basis and also by dose/cohort average basis. In 
addition, the decitabine AUC values obtained from the 2 x 2 crossover part of the study will be analyzed for 
comparability of means using the CI method (Section 11.8.1). 
Pharmacodynamic (LINE-1 demethylation data) and biomarkers will be summarized descriptively (using mean, 
standard deviation, median and range for continuous variables and counts and percentages for categorical 
variables) by dose cohort and course/days, and by stage of the study. In addition, the mean maximum %LINE-1 
demethylation from baseline obtained from the 2 x 2 crossover design part of the study will be analyzed for non-
inferiority of means (oral decitabine + E7727 compared with IV decitabine) using the CI method (Section 11.8.2).  
Safety Analyses: 
Adverse events will be summarized using counts and percentages by MedDRA System Organ Class (SOC) and 
Preferred Term (PT) and by CTCAE grades. DLTs will be identified in each dose cohort (as defined in Section 4.5) 
and listed separately to assist in determining the desired dose level for the combination of oral decitabine + E7727 
in the Dose Escalation Stage. Concomitant medications will be summarized by WHO Drug Therapeutic subgroup 
and generic name. Clinical laboratory values will be listed and reviewed. 
Interim Analysis: 
No formal interim analysis is planned for this study. However, ongoing data review will be performed by the Data 
and Safety Review Committee (DSRC) as described in Section 4.4.  
Study Duration and Termination:  
The expected study duration is as follows: 
Dose Escalation Stage ≈12 months 
Dose Confirmation Stage ≈12 months 
Fixed-Dose Combination Stage ≈ 12 months 
The study is expected to begin (ie, first subject enrolled) in 2Q14. 
Compliance Statement: 
The study will be conducted in accordance with the International Conference on Harmonisation (ICH) Good 
Clinical Practice (GCP) guidelines, US Title 21 CFR Parts 11, 50, 54, 56, and 312; and the principles enunciated in 
the Declaration of Helsinki and all human clinical research regulations in the countries where the study is to be 
conducted.

INTRODUCTION AND BACKGROUND 
1.1 
Background of the Disease 
Myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) are a heterogeneous group of hematopoietic stem cell 
disorders characterized by dysplastic changes in myeloid, erythroid, and megakaryocytic 
progenitors and associated with cytopenias affecting one or more of the three lineages (Bennett 
1982; Cheson et al 2000; Heaney and Golde 1999; Kantarjian and Estey 2001). Most MDS patients 
are elderly, and their prognosis (with high-risk factors) is poor. Patients often present with 
complications related to anemia (fatigue), neutropenia (infections), or thrombocytopenia  
(bleeding). In addition, variable blast expansion, and, less commonly, leukocytosis are observed. 
MDS may evolve into acute myeloid leukemia (AML) in 10% to 70% of patients. 
Prognosis for MDS patients is poor; patients die either from complications associated with 
cytopenias (infections and bleeding) or from transformation to AML. In practice, "lower risk" 
MDS patients may be distinguished from "higher risk" MDS patients by their degree of pre-
leukemic blast expansion, responses to therapeutic agents, disease outcomes, and prognosis  
(Benjanyan and Sekeres 2011). These factors have allowed the establishment of an International 
Prognostic Scoring System (IPSS) to predict survival and progression to AML (Greenberg et al 
1997) as well as aiding treatment decisions. 
Based on the IPSS scoring system, patients with lower risk (IPSS low risk or intermediate-1) MDS 
(approximately 70% of patients) have an expected median survival of 3.5 to 5.7 years. Median 
survival for higher risk patients (intermediate-2 and high-risk MDS) ranges from 0.4 to 1.2 years 
(Greenberg et al 1997). 
1.2 
Background of Treatment Options 
The standard for MDS therapy for many years has been supportive care (Heaney and Golde 1999; 
Kantarjian and Estey 2001). Intensive chemotherapy has been associated with complete response 
rates of 40% to 60%, induction mortality rates of 10% to 40% and no improvement in survival 
(Kantarjian and Estey 2001). 
Within the previous 10 years, three agents have been approved by the US FDA for the treatment 
of MDS: the immunomodulating agent lenalidomide, and the hypomethylating agents (HMAs) 
azacitidine and decitabine. These agents have dramatically changed both the course of treatment 
for MDS and have improved the outcome of patients who previously had very poor survival. 
Patients administered azacitidine at a subcutaneous dose of 75 mg/m2 daily×7 showed an overall 
response rate (CR+PR) of 15.7%, which was significantly greater than the response rate of 0% in 
the observation group (p<0.0001) (Vidaza 2016). Similarly, patients with intermediate- or high-
risk MDS who were administered IV decitabine (Dacogen®) at a dose of 20 mg/m2 daily×5 showed 
an overall response rate of 16% (Dacogen 2014). 
In summary, the increasing use of azacitidine and decitabine in the treatment of MDS has improved 
the outcome of patients who previously had very poor survival. However, current marketed HMAs

Version 5.0: 06 April 2017 
are subject to rapid elimination and degradation by cytidine deaminase (CDA) into inactive uridine 
counterparts (Chabot et al 1983). CDA in the gut and liver is responsible for poor bioavailability 
of these two HMAs, thus limiting their use to intravenous (IV) or subcutaneous injections 
(Karahoca and Momparler 2013). CDA inhibitors (CDAi) have been investigated for many years, 
but no drug has been approved for this use. The most widely published use has been with the CDAi 
tetrahydrouridine or THU (Beumer et al 2011; Beumer, Eiseman et al 2008; Beumer et al 2006). 
National Cancer Institute (NCI) has been investigating THU along with DNA methyltransferase 
(DNMT) inhibitor 5-fluoro-2'-deoxycytidine in clinical trials (Beumer, Parise et al 2008). 
However, THU is an unstable compound that is difficult to develop into a pharmaceutically 
acceptable drug. 
E7727 is a new potent CDAi which is pharmaceutically stable with a large safety margin. Its 
concomitant administration with oral decitabine markedly enhanced its bioavailability. This 
protocol intends to investigate the optimal dose of E7727 administered with oral decitabine that 
results in comparable AUC, Long Interspersed Nucleotide Elements-1 (LINE-1) demethylation, 
and response rate (CR+PR) to that of the approved IV decitabine 5-day regimen. The aim is to 
identify the relative doses to use as a fixed dose combination (FDC) oral product (ASTX727) of 
oral decitabine + E7727.  
Availability of an oral form of decitabine should provide significant convenience and potentially 
better treatment compliance for MDS patients. 
1.3 
Summary of Nonclinical and Clinical Data for Oral Decitabine + E7727 
Please refer to the Investigator’s Brochure (IB) for ASTX727 for detailed information on the 
Investigational Medicinal Product (IMP). Detailed information on IV decitabine 5-day regimen 
can be reviewed in the US Dacogen IV Prescribing Information (2014).  
1.3.1 
General Information 
Information on the IMP is located in Section 7.1. 
1.3.2 
Nonclinical Data 
E7727 is a 2’-fluorinated analog of tetrahydrouridine (THU) and is a novel CDAi, developed for 
oral administration. The bioavailability of decitabine and of several other therapeutic cytidine 
analogs (eg, azacitidine, cytarabine, gemcitabine) is significantly limited by a rapid metabolism 
catalyzed by CDA which is highly expressed in the gut and liver. E7727 is a potent CDAi with an 
IC50 of 0.281 μM. E7727 is also characterized by an improved stability at lower pH which has 
been a challenge with THU.  
E7727 has negligible antiproliferative activity in human cancer cell lines, did not show any 
significant inhibition in a panel of 80 physiologically important human receptors and did not 
inhibit hERG potassium channel at up to 300 μM. In vitro studies have also characterized an epimer 
of E7727 (ER-849726) that has about 1/10th the activity of E7727 as determined by an IC50 of

5 µM against human recombinant CDA. After oral dosing in preclinical toxicology models (mouse 
and monkey), near-equivalent levels were detected for circulating E7727 and its epimer. 
Several in vitro safety pharmacology studies were performed with various concentrations of the 
CDAi E7727 and are summarized in Table 1.

The pharmacodynamics (PD) of oral decitabine + E7727 were demonstrated in a one-cycle study 
in cynomolgus monkeys in which decitabine was administered at 2 mg/kg with E7727 doses of 1, 
3, or 6 mg/kg daily×5, followed by 23 days. Demethylation of LINE-1 sequences was seen for all 
three treatment groups, with the maximum demethylation effect of 17.4% to 24.5% achieved on 
Day 11 (see Figure 1).

Clinical Data and Human Pharmacokinetics (PK) 
Preliminary data from the current study were available at the time of Amendment 3 and were used 
to inform the strength of the active drug substance included in FDC tablet. 
Previously, an open-label, Phase 1, dose-escalation trial was conducted to assess the preliminary 
oral bioavailability and safety of a single oral decitabine dose in an MDS patient population  
(Mistry et al 2011). Twelve subjects were enrolled in the study. Decitabine was administered orally 
(using the same formulation that is used for IV administration) on Day 1 of Course 1, followed by 
a 1-hour IV infusion at the recommended dose of 20 mg/m2 on Days 2–5 of Course 1. 
Biphasic elimination was observed following both IV and oral administration. Across the cohorts, 
T½ was comparable and ranged from 0.35 to 0.79 hour following oral administration and from 0.34 
to 0.61 hour following IV administration. 
Decitabine was rapidly absorbed after oral administration; the mean Tmax was 0.5 hour; however, 
oral doses from 30 mg to 120 mg did not result in increased Cmax or AUC. At the 240 mg dose, 
abrupt increases in Cmax and AUC of decitabine were observed.

The mean absolute bioavailability following 30, 60, 120, and 240 mg oral doses of decitabine was 
low, ranging from 3.9% to 14.1% with a very high intersubject variability. Single, oral doses of 
decitabine up to 240 mg were safe and generally well tolerated. 
1.4 
Potential Risks and Benefits to Human Subjects 
Decitabine at therapeutic exposure levels is known to result in neutropenia, thrombocytopenia, 
anemia, and pyrexia. E7727 has a wide safety margin, as preclinical toxicology studies suggest 
that transient inhibition of CDA is well tolerated and poses no known risks, with the NOAEL in 
monkeys determined to be 200 mg/kg, dosed daily×7. The starting dose of E7727 in this first-in-
human (FIH) study is 100-fold lower than the NOAEL (human equivalent dose [HED] to 2 mg/kg 
in monkeys). 
The combination of E7727 with oral decitabine may result in enhanced decitabine exposure, which 
at high doses may result in higher hematological toxicity. In addition, administration of oral 
decitabine with E7727 may result in higher GI toxicity as a result of CDA inhibition in the gut or 
higher decitabine dose used. The starting dose of oral decitabine in this study is about half the IV 
decitabine dose (20 mg fixed oral dose as opposed to the approved daily dose of 20 mg/m2 IV). It 
is also one-twelfth of the highest dose of oral decitabine (240 mg) tested in humans without E7727 
(Mistry et al 2011).  
These and other risks of oral decitabine + E7727 in humans are described further in Section 8.0, 
Risks/Precautions. For more detailed information, please refer to the IB for ASTX727 and to the 
prescribing information for decitabine (Dacogen 2014). 
The potential benefits of oral decitabine + E7727 include a significant enhancement of the oral 
bioavailability of decitabine through inhibition of CDA the enzyme responsible for metabolism of 
decitabine in the gastrointestinal (GI) tract and liver. This will provide patients with more 
convenient regimen with at least similar therapeutic benefits to the approved IV decitabine 
regimen.

RATIONALE 
2.1 
Rationale for the Study 
Astex Pharmaceuticals, Inc. is proposing a program to develop an oral, fixed-dose combination 
IMP, composed of oral decitabine + E7727 (ie, ASTX727) for the treatment of patients with MDS. 
Decitabine is one of 2 HMAs approved by FDA for this use. E7727 is a new chemical entity that 
is a pharmacokinetic (PK) enhancer. It increases bioavailability of decitabine through inhibition 
of CDA, an enzyme responsible for metabolism of decitabine in the GI tract and liver, thus 
enabling enhanced decitabine exposures after oral administration. E7727 is a potent and selective 
CDAi that has a wide safety margin and is pharmaceutically stable and suitable for oral use. 
This FIH trial is designed to define daily doses of the individual components so that decitabine 
exposure after oral administration is comparable to exposure after IV decitabine at the approved 

Astex Pharmaceuticals, Inc.

Version 5.0: 06 April 2017 
daily dose of 20 mg/m2. The objective of the study is to establish and then confirm the doses of 
the 2 components to be used in the final fixed-drug combination product (ASTX727) using mainly 
PK (AUC) and PD (global DNA methylation in PBMCs using LINE-1) as endpoints. The doses 
that produce human exposure and/or PD comparable to that obtained after IV administration of 
decitabine at the approved daily dose using the 5-day schedule will be selected for use in 
subsequent clinical investigation. 
2.2 
Rationale for Oral Decitabine + E7727 Dose and Study Treatment Regimen 
The selection of the starting dose of E7727 is based on findings from GLP toxicology studies that 
were conducted in mice and monkeys to evaluate the non-clinical safety profile of E7727 together 
with PK data in animals regarding E7727 doses needed to enhance decitabine exposure after oral 
administration. 
E7727 appeared to be well tolerated in CD-1 mice, with no observed adverse effects seen at the 
highest dose tested (1000 mg/kg). Exposures at the no observed adverse effect level (NOAEL) of 
1000 mg/kg (highest dose tested) were similar in males and females. The Cmax after 1000 mg/kg 
was approximately 43,700 ng/mL and the AUC0-24 was ~ 125,600 ng*hour/mL.  
In rhesus monkeys, the NOAEL was 200 mg/kg/d from a 7-day repeat-dose study with a 2-week 
recovery. No accumulation or gender differences were seen in exposures. On Day 7, the Cmax at 
this dose ranged from 5,746-6,148 ng/mL, and AUC0-24 was 33,457-46,214 ng*hour/mL.  
In the Dose Escalation Stage, the starting dose for E7727 is based upon the NOAEL from monkeys 
(200 mg/kg), as well as the PK data from the oral decitabine + E7727 interaction studies in 
cynomolgus monkeys, wherein a significant effect on oral decitabine exposures was seen at E7727 
doses as low as 0.1 mg/kg when E7727 is given 1 hour before decitabine, and at 1-3 mg/kg with 
concomitant dosing. The proposed starting E7727 dose of 40 mg is approximately the HED of 
E7727 given at 2 mg/kg for monkeys (equivalent to 24 mg/m2 in humans) and offers a 100-fold 
safety margin relative to NOAEL from a GLP toxicology study in monkeys. 
As the clinical safety profile for decitabine is already well understood, the starting dose of 20 mg 
is based upon the available human experience with single dose decitabine and the experience with 
approved IV daily doses as the basis for the starting dose of decitabine in this study. The approved 
5-day daily dose is 20 mg/m2 IV or 40 mg for a BSA of 2 m2. The clinical study that assessed PK 
and safety of single oral dose decitabine (30-240 mg) showed no safety issues up to 240 mg. We 
propose a starting dose of oral decitabine of 20 mg, which is approximately one-half of the 
approved IV daily dose (for a BSA of 2 m2), and one-twelfth of the highest oral decitabine dose 
(240 mg) tested in humans (Mistry et al 2011).  
Thus, the proposed starting dose combination is 40 mg E7727 and 20 mg decitabine given 
concomitantly by mouth.

INVESTIGATIONAL PLAN 
4.1 
Overall Study Design  
Study ASTX727-01 will consist of three stages: Dose Escalation, Dose Confirmation, and Fixed-
Dose Combination, accordingly described below. 
4.1.1 
Dose Escalation Stage 
The Dose Escalation Stage consists of a single arm PK guided 3+3 design, the objective of which 
is to establish the target dose combination of oral decitabine + E7727 administered concomitantly 
using PK (AUC) as an endpoint. 
The starting dose for cohort 1 for E7727 is 40 mg, and the starting dose of oral decitabine is 20 mg. 
All subsequent cohort dose levels and cohort sizes will be determined by the Data and Safety 
Review Committee (DSRC) based on both safety and PK data review from at least 3 evaluable 
subjects in each cohort; see below for dose escalation guidance and Section 4.4 for description of 
DSRC functions.  
The dosing schedule for all cohorts in the Dose Escalation Stage is as follows: 
Course 1: 
• Day -3 (± 2 days): Single dose oral decitabine.  
• Day 1: IV decitabine administered at 20 mg/m2. 
• Days 2-5: Concomitant oral administration of oral decitabine + E7727.  
Course 2: 
• Day -3 (± 2 days): Single dose E7727. 
• Days 1-5: Concomitant oral administration of E7727 + decitabine. 

Astex Pharmaceuticals, Inc.

26 
Version 5.0: 06 April 2017 
The doses of single oral decitabine or oral E7727 given on Day -3 (±2 days) in Course 1 and 
Course 2 are the same doses, respectively, that are given concomitantly on Days 2-5 in Course 1 
and Days 1-5 in Course 2. 
Course ≥3: 
• Days 1-5: Concomitant oral administration of E7727 + decitabine (note, there are no Day -3 
visits beginning with Course 3). 
All subjects will continue to receive oral decitabine + E7727 daily×5 of a 28-day course in Course 
3 and thereafter until disease progression, unacceptable toxicity, subject withdrawal of consent, or 
withdrawal from the study. 
Dosing for Cohort ≥2: 
The dosing schedule for Cohort ≥2 will be the same as for Cohort 1; however, the dose levels of 
either E7727 or oral decitabine will be modified based on the decision of the DSRC guided by the 
algorithm in Figure 2. Only one of the 2 components will be escalated at any one time. If 1 DLT 
occurs in the first 3 subjects in the cohort, 3 more subjects will be added in that cohort to assess 
safety and AUC range. In the absence of Dose Limiting Toxicities (DLTs) in more than 1 of the 
first 6 subjects in any cohort, the dose of E7727 will be escalated in 20 mg increments until the 
cohort mean decitabine oral AUC/IV decitabine AUC approaches unity (within 0.90-1.10, 
inclusive). If E7727 dose adjustments fail to produce the desired oral decitabine AUC levels, or 
that smaller dose adjustment is required (5 mg instead of 20 mg), the decitabine dose (increments 
or decrements of 20 mg or 5 mg) will be adjusted until the desired AUC levels are achieved. 
• If decitabine exposures in Cohort 1 are less than 0.90 of those achieved with IV infusion from 
Day 1, increase the E7727 dose by 20 mg increments until decitabine exposures no longer 
increase; then increase the decitabine dose by 20 mg or less until the desired AUC range of 
oral decitabine (0.90-1.10 of IV decitabine) is achieved. 
• If oral decitabine AUC exposures in any cohort are more than 1.1 of the IV decitabine AUC, 
then decrease the E7727 dose by 20 mg or decrease decitabine doses by 20 mg or less until the 
desired AUC range of oral decitabine (0.90-1.10 of IV decitabine) is achieved. 
When the target level of decitabine AUC after oral administration is within 0.90-1.10 of IV 
decitabine AUC with no more than 1 DLT in 3-6 evaluable subjects, additional evaluable subjects 
may be added to the cohort to reach up to 12-18 subjects in that cohort to confirm the AUC range 
at 0.90-1.10 before opening the Dose Confirmation Stage of the trial. If the AUC range in the first 
12 subjects is out of the desired range, or more than 1 DLT occurred in 6 subjects, the DSRC can 
recommend further adjustment of the E7727 or decitabine dose in a new cohort of at least 
3 subjects until the desired AUC range (0.90-1.10) and safety (no more than 1 DLT) are achieved. 
If more than one DLT in 6 subjects is observed in any cohort, no further escalation will take place, 
and the DSRC will decide whether de-escalation of one or more components (oral decitabine 
and/or E7727) is necessary.

Intra-patient dose escalation will be allowed for patients who are still on treatment at lower dose 
levels in the Dose Escalation Stage once higher levels are deemed to be safe by DSRC review. 
Figure 2 provides a suggested algorithm for dose escalation; however, the DSRC may deviate from 
that algorithm based on review of emerging safety and PK data as long as there is a consensus that 
it is safe to do so. 
Up to 6 evaluable subjects may be enrolled in a cohort before PK and safety results from at least 
the first 3 subjects in that cohort become available.

or  
• IV decitabine daily×5 in Course 1 followed by oral decitabine + E7727 daily×5 in Course 2. 
Beginning with Course 3 and all subsequent courses, subjects will receive oral decitabine + E7727 
daily×5 of a 28-day course until the subject has disease progression or unacceptable toxicity, or 
the subject withdraws consent or is withdrawn from the study. 
The DSRC will determine when sufficient data are available at the end of the Dose Escalation 
Stage to make a decision on the fixed dose levels of E7727 and oral decitabine to be further 
investigated in the Dose Confirmation Stage.

Based on (1) data from both the Dose Escalation Stage and Dose Confirmation Stage, which 
confirmed that the combination doses of 100 mg E7727 + 35 mg decitabine emulate the PK and 
PD of IV decitabine 20 mg/m2, and (2) availability of the FDC tablet combining these 2 doses, 
subjects who are still on treatment with the separate E7727 and decitabine capsules in the previous 
study stages will be allowed to transition to treatment with the more convenient FDC tablet at the 
discretion of the investigator, but no later than 23 October 2017. New clinical supplies of the E7727

supplies. 
4.2 
Discussion of Study Design 
This is a 3-stage study to investigate concomitant administration of oral decitabine + E7727. The 
Dose Escalation Stage consists of a single arm PK guided 3+3 design, the objective of which is to 
establish the target dose combination of oral decitabine + E7727 administered concomitantly using 
PK (AUC) as an endpoint. The study is not intended to identify an MTD of oral decitabine + 
E7727. Rather, dose escalation will target a dose of the two components that approximately 
achieves unity in decitabine AUC exposures compared with AUC of IV decitabine 20 mg/m2 
(AUC ratio within 0.90-1.10). Escalation will occur only after review of the PK and safety data 
from at least 3 evaluable subjects in each cohort and a recommendation from the DSRC (see 
Section 4.4).  
In the Dose Confirmation Stage, the primary objective is to confirm that the doses of oral 
decitabine + E7727 identified in the Dose Escalation Stage given as a daily×5 oral dosing regimen 
achieve a mean AUC (estimated from 5 days of dosing) and LINE-1 DNA demethylation 
comparable (as described in Sections 11.8.1 and 11.8.2) to IV decitabine given daily×5 at the 
approved dose of 20 mg/m2. The standard 2 x 2 crossover design was chosen for the first two 
courses of the Dose Confirmation Stage in order to facilitate efficient evaluation of within-subject 
comparison of AUC as well as LINE-1 demethylation between oral decitabine + E7727 and IV 
decitabine. Because of the short half-life of decitabine and the fact that in most subjects, LINE-1 
demethylation returns to baseline by Day 28 at the end of treatment course, no appreciable carry-
over effect of either AUC or LINE-1 demethylation is expected. 
In the FDC stage, the goal is to confirm that the FDC tablet formulation is similar to IV decitabine 
in an intrapatient fashion and that PK and PD results are similar to results obtained with oral 
decitabine + E7727 capsules in the Dose Confirmation Stage.

Data and Safety Review Committee (DSRC) 
A thorough review of PK and safety data by the DSRC will be regularly conducted, particularly at 
the following time points: 
• After every cohort of 3-12 evaluable subjects during the Dose Escalation Stage. 
• At the end the Dose Escalation Stage but before the Dose Confirmation Stage. 
• At least quarterly during the Dose Confirmation Stage. 
• At minimum after 18-24 subjects have received 2 courses of treatment in the FDC stage.  
The DSRC will confer when the last of at least 3 evaluable subjects in a cohort completes Course 1, 
Day 28. If warranted, the committee may meet more frequently should there be any emergent 
safety issues. This committee will comprise the principal investigators (or nominated deputies), 
medical monitor, study director, PK director, and other study team members as appropriate and 
will review available safety, PK, and PD data. The DSRC will recommend whether to continue 
dosing based on the oral decitabine + E7727 dose escalation algorithm (Figure 2) and the safety 
data (DLTs). The DSRC may decide to increase any cohort size up to a total of 12-18 subjects to 
further assess the PK and/or safety signal. No dose escalation/de-escalation will ensue until the 
DSRC meets and concurs. The DSRC will make decisions regarding continuing dose escalation 
or de-escalation, to better assess the PK and safety of oral decitabine + E7727 during the Dose 
Escalation Stage. The DSRC will decide on the exact next dose level based on the escalation 
scheme provided in Figure 2. The DSRC may also decide to investigate smaller increments or 
decrements of oral decitabine when lower strength (decitabine 5 mg) becomes available. DSRC 
may also decide to escalate/de-escalate either drug component (E7727 or oral decitabine) if AUC 
levels or safety data at any cohort warrant such escalation/de-escalation. 
The DSRC will determine when sufficient PK data are available at the end of the Dose Escalation 
Stage to make a decision on the fixed dose levels of E7727 and oral decitabine to be further 
investigated in the Dose Confirmation Stage. If population PK analyses suggest that dose levels of 
E7727 and oral decitabine are better adjusted based on body weight/body surface area (BW/BSA) 
instead of the initially recommended flat dosing in this protocol, the DSRC will determine the 
different dose strengths for subjects based on their BW or BSA. 
In addition, the DSRC will evaluate safety, PK, and PD data during the Dose Confirmation Stage 
to assess AUC and LINE-1 demethylation comparability between IV decitabine and the 
combination of E7727 + oral decitabine and to determine the final oral dose combination. This 
will be evaluated after the first subset of 6-12 subjects are randomized in the Dose Confirmation 
Stage and their PK and PD data from the first 2 completed courses become available. The DSRC 
may decide to further titrate the doses (up or down) of one or both ASTX727 drug components

Version 5.0: 06 April 2017 
(oral decitabine or E7727) to ensure comparability of PK and PD with decitabine IV. In that case, 
another evaluation of PK and PD data from an additional 6-12 evaluable subjects will be 
conducted. The DSRC may decide on a final dose combination that yields an AUC for oral 
decitabine marginally beyond the 0.90-1.10 window of IV decitabine AUC with supportive data. 
Approximately 42 subjects will be treated at the final recommended dose combination; therefore 
the total number of subjects in the Dose Confirmation Stage may be more than 42 if the initial dose 
combinations at the start of the Dose Confirmation Stage were not the final recommended doses. 
A formal record of each discussion will be kept and distributed to all study sites. 
4.5 
Definition of Dose-Limiting Toxicities  
While this study is not intended to define an MTD of oral decitabine + E7727, dose-limiting 
toxicities must be assessed to confirm that it is safe to escalate based on AUC data comparability 
with the approved IV decitabine dosing. 
The DLT occurring in the first course of treatment for all subjects at any cohort during dose 
escalation will guide the dose escalation decision. At subsequent courses, DLTs will guide dose 
adjustment or dose delays as discussed in Section 7.3. DLTs are defined using the Common 
Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events Version 4.0 (CTCAE v4.0) (Appendix 1). 
• ≥ Grade 3 non-hematologic toxicity (unless the DSRC determines that it is clearly related to 
an underlying disease or to disease progression), except the following: 
• Grade 3 nausea or vomiting that is controllable by anti-emetics. 
• Grade 3 diarrhea controllable by optimal therapy such as loperamide. 
• Grade 3 laboratory tests other than serum creatinine, bilirubin, AST, or ALT will not be 
considered a DLT unless the abnormal result(s) is/are associated with clinical manifestations. 
• Related prolonged Grade 4 thrombocytopenia that was not present prior to dosing, does not 
resolve within 14 days, and is not related to underlying disease. 
• Related febrile neutropenia or Grade 4 neutropenia that was not present prior to dosing, does 
not resolve within 14 days, and is not related to underlying disease. 
• Any toxicity (related to study treatment) that results in treatment delays of >4 weeks after Day 
28.

5.4 
Withdrawal of Subjects  
Subjects can withdraw from study treatment and continue study follow-up or withdraw from the 
study, as described below. 
5.4.1 
Withdrawal from Study Treatment 
Subjects may withdraw from study treatment but still continue study follow-up procedures. 
Investigators are encouraged to assess all subjects according to the study protocol even after 
withdrawal from study treatment.  
• Investigators can withdraw subjects from study treatment in case of unacceptable toxicity, non-
compliance, unequivocal disease progression with clinical deterioration or a need to administer 
other anticancer treatment, or if it is determined by the investigator that it is in the subject’s 
best interest.  
• Astex Pharmaceuticals may require that a subject is withdrawn from treatment for safety 
reasons or for noncompliance.  
In all cases, the reason(s) for withdrawal from study treatment must be recorded in the source 
document and on the relevant page of the subject’s case report form or electronic case report form 
(eCRF).

Version 5.0: 06 April 2017 
It is important to obtain follow-up information on any subject withdrawn prematurely from study 
treatment. Every effort must be made to undertake protocol-specified follow-up procedures. Refer 
to Section 5.4.3 for specific assessments. 
5.4.2 
Withdrawal from the Study 
Subjects may withdraw from the study at any time. It is important to obtain follow-up information, 
according to standard medical practice, on any subject withdrawn prematurely from the study. 
Every effort must be made to undertake at least standard assessments that are critical for efficacy 
or safety evaluation, such as Disease Progression (if the subject did not withdraw because of 
disease progression), Survival information, and Safety data. Refer to Section 5.4.3.  
5.4.3 
Follow-up Procedures after Withdrawal (from Treatment and/or the Study) 
Section 10.0 describes follow-up for AEs. At minimum, subjects should be followed up for safety 
until 30 days after the last dose of study treatment (see Section 10.2). If at all possible, for all cases, 
subjects should undergo all end-of-study assessments (Treatment Termination visit and 30-day 
Follow-up visit; see Section 9.0). 
For subjects willing to continue study follow-up procedures, the investigator should review the 
follow-up procedures with the subject, including the number of visits, the specific procedures to 
be done, and the total length of the follow-up period. The investigator must also ensure the subject 
understands that his or her medical records will continue to be available for the follow-up period 
as described in the approved ICF for the entire study period. 
5.4.4 
Replacement of Subjects 
Enrollment of subjects for each cohort and stage of the study will continue until the required 
number of evaluable subjects for that cohort and stage is reached. The evaluable subject criteria 
are described in Section 11.1. Astex Pharmaceuticals may stop the study at any time. In this event, 
the Sponsor will make reasonable efforts to ensure subjects are transitioned off study in an orderly 
manner.

ENROLLMENT, RANDOMIZATION, AND BLINDING PROCEDURES 
6.1 
Enrollment 
Subjects who meet the entry criteria will be enrolled/randomized into the study. Instructions 
regarding the enrollment process will be provided to the study centers in a separate document. 
Subject identification (ID) numbers will consist of 6 digits. The first 3 digits will reflect the site 
number, followed by a 3-digit individual number within the site. The ID will be used to identify 
the subject throughout the study including the screening period and will be entered on all study 
documents.

Version 5.0: 06 April 2017 
6.2 
Randomization 
Randomization will occur in the Dose Confirmation Stage and the FDC Stage. In the Dose 
Confirmation Stage, subjects will be randomized in a 1:1 ratio to one of the two treatment 
sequences as described below: 
• Oral decitabine + E7727 daily×5 in Course 1 followed by IV decitabine daily×5 in Course 2, 
or  
• IV decitabine daily×5 in Course 1 followed by oral decitabine + E7727 daily×5 in Course 2. 
In the FDC Stage, subjects will be randomized in a 1:1 ratio to receive one of the following 
treatment sequences: 
• FDC tablet daily ×5 in Course 1 followed by IV decitabine daily ×5 in Course 2, or  
• IV decitabine daily ×5 in Course 1 followed by the FDC tablet daily ×5 in Course 2. 
Randomization will be stratified by the IPSS risk levels (lower risk of IPSS intermediate-1 versus 
higher risk of IPSS intermediate-2 and high-risk). Subjects with CMML will be randomized in the 
IPSS-2/high-risk 
stratum. 
Subjects

Treatment assignments for the individual subjects will be determined through a computer 
generated randomization scheme and accessed through the OmniComm TrialMaster system used 
for study data management. Instructions for access and use of the OmniComm TrialMaster system 
for randomization will be provided to participating study centers in a separate document. 
6.3 
Blinding 
This is an open-label study. There will be no blinding of treatment assignment. 
7.0 
STUDY TREATMENTS 
In this FIH trial, study treatment includes the combination of oral decitabine + E7727, the two 
separate IMPs administered concomitantly and given separately at designated time points, and also 
IV decitabine. Subjects will receive study treatment at the study center in the first course of 
treatment at all stages of the study, in the first 2 courses at Dose Confirmation Stage; and whenever 
PK sampling is required. At other visits, subjects may self-administer the IMPs at home. Astex 
Pharmaceuticals, Inc. will provide each study center with guidance to be provided to subjects for 
at-home dosing and drug storage.

7.1 
Investigational Medicinal Products (IMPs) 
7.1.1 
Drug Form and Labeling 
E7727 20 mg, decitabine 20 mg, and if needed decitabine 5 mg will be supplied separately in 
individual unit dosage forms, each as a hard gelatin capsule of specific color. 
E7727 20 mg is available in a white opaque size 4 capsule packed in 30 count in a 30 cc white 
opaque HDPE bottle with a child resistant closure. Inactive ingredients present in the capsule are 
microcrystalline cellulose, hypromellose, and talc. 
Decitabine 20 mg is available in a Swedish orange size 4 capsule packed in 30 count in a 30 cc 
white opaque HDPE bottle with a child resistant closure. Inactive ingredients present in the capsule 
are inert sugar spheres, hypromellose, and talc. 
Decitabine 5 mg will be made available if needed in a light blue size 4 capsule packed in 30 count 
in a 30 cc white opaque HDPE bottle with a child resistant closure. Inactive ingredients present in 
the capsule are inert sugar spheres, hypromellose, and talc. 
The FDC drug form of ASTX727 is a film-coated, oval, white, immediate-release tablet containing 
the combination of E7727 (100 mg) and decitabine (35 mg) for oral administration. The tablets 
will be packed in 5 count in an opaque HDPE bottle with a child resistant closure. 
7.1.2 
Storage 
The IV decitabine drug product is sourced from commercial supplies and should be stored 
according to institutional policy and the manufacturer's label. 
E7727 20 mg, decitabine 20 mg, and decitabine 5 mg, should be stored at 2°C to 8°C in a secure, 
locked facility at the study center and accessible only to authorized study personnel. Should E7727 
and decitabine capsules be dispensed for outpatient administration, they should be dispensed by 
the study pharmacist according to institutional policy and in accordance with the Sponsor’s 
requirements. 
The FDC tablet should be stored at 2°C to 8°C (36°F to 46°F) according to institutional policy and 
the Sponsor’s requirements. 
7.1.3 
Product Reconciliation 
Records of the receipt and dispensing of IMP supplies will be kept at the study centers and 
reconciled at the end of the study to provide a complete accounting of all used and unused IMP. 
7.1.4 
Study Treatment Administration 
Subjects will be required to fast for 4 hours on days when receiving oral IMP. Fasting (no food, 
milk or alcohol) begins at least 2 hours prior to and ends 2 hours post-dose. Subjects will take oral

Version 5.0: 06 April 2017 
IMP(s) with 240 mL (8 fluid oz) of water. Clear liquids such as water, black coffee, tea, or fruit 
juice may be allowed as desired together with other concomitant medication that is needed to be 
given to the subject. Subjects should take the IMPs simultaneously (ie, E7727 followed 
immediately by oral decitabine). The IMPs should be taken at the same time of day (±1 hour) on 
each dosing day. If the subject vomits after oral dosing on one or more days, the dose of that day 
will not be re-administered, but vomiting should be recorded as an adverse event on the Case 
Report Form. 
7.1.5 
Missed Doses 
It is important for subjects not to miss a dose, as PK assessments will be affected. Subjects should 
take the IMPs simultaneously (ie, E7727 followed immediately by oral decitabine) and at the same 
time of day (± 1 hr) on each dosing day during courses that include PK assessments. If a subject 
takes the IMPs outside the 1-hr window during a week with PK assessments, the subject should be 
instructed to notify the investigator immediately. If a dose is missed in subsequent courses, the 
dose should be taken immediately if the subject remembers by 6:00 PM that day. After 6:00 PM, 
the dose should be skipped, and dosing should resume the following day at the scheduled time. 
Subjects should complete all 5 daily doses; if a dose is missed, the dosing period will extend to 
6 days. 
7.2 
Active Comparator or Placebo 
IV decitabine at 20 mg/m2 will be the activate comparator as described. Decitabine is approved for 
IV infusion in the US and will be sourced locally at the US study centers. Decitabine IV will be 
provided by the sponsor as an IMP in Canada, as the product is not currently approved in Canada. 
Currently, the most commonly used regimen for treatment of MDS is 20 mg/m2, 1-hour 
intravenous infusion for 5 daily administrations (Days 1-5) in a 28-day treatment course; this will 
be the comparator regimen in this study.  
Refer to current decitabine label for storage and administration guidance. 
7.3 
Guidelines for Adjusting or Withholding Study Treatment 
The algorithm describing dose escalation guidelines between cohorts in the Dose Escalation Stage 
is presented in Section 4.1.1, Figure 2. The actual decision to escalate or de-escalate and the actual 
dose levels will be determined by the DSRC based on PK and safety data (Section 4.4). Following 
the first course of treatment, the investigator should try to the best of his/her ability to assess 
whether an adverse event is related to study treatment. If the adverse event is judged to be related 
to study treatment and if it in the opinion of the investigator it requires dose adjustment, dosing 
delay and/or dose reduction may be recommended in subsequent treatment courses according to 
the following guidelines: 
If the subject is still receiving treatment as part of the 5-day regimen, subsequent treatment days 
(Days 2-5) will be withheld if the subject develops any DLT as defined in Section 4.5, and the 
skipped doses will be missed. Dosing will also be withheld on Day 1 of any subsequent treatment

Version 5.0: 06 April 2017 
courses if the subject still has a DLT or other drug-related clinically significant toxicity that has 
not resolved to baseline or Grade 1 or have become ineligible by the protocol entry criteria 
(Section 5.0). Dosing may restart once the subject becomes eligible again and the DLT or other 
drug-related toxicity has resolved to either baseline or ≤Grade 1. If dosing is delayed by more than 
4 weeks beyond Day 28, then the subject will be withdrawn from treatment unless it is judged by 
the Investigator to be in the subject’s best interest to continue based on clinical benefit. If the 
subject has a DLT and it has resolved, he or she may be redosed for subsequent courses only at the 
next lower dose level of either E7727 or decitabine, if feasible. 
In the Dose Confirmation Stage and the FDC Stage, investigators should attempt to give the full 
intended dose for at least 2 courses (Course 1 and Course 2) to be able to compare PK data as long 
as it is safe to do so. In all stages of the study, it is recommended to administer at least 6 courses 
of treatment to fully assess efficacy, unless unequivocal progression necessitating intervening 
therapy or unacceptable toxicity that is not manageable by dose reduction/delay or supportive 
treatment occurs. In the FDC Stage, dose reduction should begin by reducing treatment days to 
4 days from 5. If further dose reduction is necessary, treatment days may be reduced to 3 days. It 
is recommended that dose reductions are done in consultation with the Astex medical monitor. 
For subjects transitioning from the Dose Escalation Stage or Dose Confirmation Stage to the FDC 
Stage, any ongoing or future dose reductions should follow the FDC dose reduction 
recommendations through reduction of number of dosing days per cycle (ie, 4 or 3 days of FDC 
dosing rather than 5 days) as opposed to reductions of the daily dose, based on prior tolerance and 
safety data. 
Additional delay or dose reduction may be applied based on investigator’s judgment in 
consultation with the Astex medical monitor. 
7.4 
Concomitant Treatment 
Record on the concomitant medication eCRF all treatments a subject receives, including 
supportive or palliative treatment (see below) whether prescription or over the counter (OTC), 
vitamin and mineral supplements, herbs, and medications taken for procedures (eg, biopsy). Also 
record antacids, proton pump inhibitors, H2 antagonists (these should not be taken ±4 hours of 
administration of oral decitabine + E7727). Data will be collected on the start and stop dates as 
well as the indication for use in addition to the name, start and stop dates. 
7.4.1 
Supportive or Other Treatments 
The investigator will be permitted to prescribe supportive treatment(s) at his or her discretion. 
Appropriate hydration and supportive care (eg, antiemetics and blood and platelet transfusions) 
may be administered according to study center standards. Ensure the subject is adequately 
hydrated. Should the subject vomit after any oral administration of study treatment, the dose(s) 
should not be re-administered on that day.

Version 5.0: 06 April 2017 
All supportive treatment including units of blood and platelet transfusions must be recorded on the 
eCRFs. Aggressive surveillance, prophylaxis, and the treatment of bacterial, fungal, viral, and 
opportunistic infections are essential to prevent morbidity and mortality. 
Antibiotics may be used to prevent or manage febrile neutropenia according to institutional 
standard practice. Febrile neutropenia is defined as temperature at least 38.5°C when the absolute 
neutrophil count (ANC) is <1000 cells/μL. Febrile subjects are to be evaluated by physical 
examination, complete blood count (CBC) with differential, and blood culture. Subjects with 
febrile neutropenia or suspected sepsis on the basis of the physical examination are to be 
hospitalized for appropriate broad spectrum antibiotic coverage, consistent with local pathogen 
sensitivities. 
Hematopoietic growth factors will not be routinely used. However, its use is permitted in case of 
a life-threatening septic event at the discretion of the treating physician. Erythropoietin and/or 
Neupogen can be used after Course 1 in the Dose Escalation Stage, after Course 1 and 2 in the 
Dose Confirmation Stage. Use of these agents should be guided by accepted practice or 
institutional guidelines. 
7.4.2 
Prohibited Medications 
Prohibited concomitant therapies while on study are as follows: radiation therapy, chemotherapy, 
immunotherapy, or any experimental therapy. See Section 7.4 for additional information. Other 
nucleosides or drugs that are metabolized by CDA (Section 8.1) are also prohibited during the 
study when E7727 is being administered. 
7.5 
Overdose Instructions 
Record the actual dose of study treatment administered in the source document and on the Dosing 
eCRF. Record any adverse clinical signs and symptoms associated with a potential overdose on 
the AE eCRFs. Report signs and symptoms of a potential overdose that meet SAE criteria (defined 
in Section 10.1.2) to Astex on the SAE form within 24 hours (see Section 10.3). Treat any AE 
(including SAE) based on standard care for the specific signs and symptoms. As this is the FIH 
study of oral decitabine + E7727, no data are available regarding the overdosage of oral decitabine 
+ E7727. Based on the clinical experience of decitabine, an overdosage of oral decitabine + E7727 
may result in more profound or prolonged myelosuppression and its consequences such as 
infection, or bleeding, or GI toxicity, and subjects should be managed accordingly. No antidote 
has yet been developed for overdose of oral decitabine + E7727 or the FDC drug form. 
8.0 
RISKS/PRECAUTIONS 
Please refer to the IB for ASTX727 and the IV decitabine prescribing information. As with any 
IMP, subjects may experience reactions or complications that are unknown, and therefore 
unpredictable.

Version 5.0: 06 April 2017 
8.1 
Drug-Drug Interactions 
The primary PD effect of E7727 is the inhibition of CDA, which is anticipated to enhance the oral 
bioavailability of decitabine. Hence, drugs known to be metabolized by CDAs should not be given 
(such drugs include cytarabine, gemcitabine, azacytidine, vidarabine, zalcitabine, zidovudine, 
telbivudine, didanosine, zalcitabine, stavudine, lamivudine, abacavir, emtricitabine, entecavir, 
apricitabine, idoxuridine, trifluridine, tenofovir and adefovir). As new agents may come to market 
during the trial, confer with the sponsor’s medical monitor if questions arise. 
Neither E7727 nor decitabine are expected to produce CYP-mediated drug-drug interactions, as 
these agents have shown no potential to inhibit or induce human CYP enzymes in vitro. 
8.2 
Genotoxicity 
Decitabine is shown to be genotoxic, which could cause fetal harm. It is unknown whether E7727 
can cause fetal harm. Therefore, subjects with reproductive potential must use methods of 
contraception during the study (as described in Section 5.1) and for 60 days after the last dose of 
decitabine. Subjects should promptly notify the investigator if they, or their partner, become 
pregnant during this period. If a female subject becomes pregnant during the treatment period, she 
must discontinue decitabine immediately. Pregnancy in a female subject or a male subject’s partner 
must be reported using Pregnancy Forms I and II. 
9.0 
STUDY ASSESSMENTS AND PROCEDURES 
9.1 
Efficacy Assessments 
Efficacy assessments (via bone marrow aspirate or biopsy and peripheral blood count) will be 
based on the IWG 2006 MDS Response Criteria for MDS. A bone marrow aspirate/biopsy will be 
performed at Screening (within 21 days before first study treatment) and then within 7 days before 
Day 1 of every other course (Courses 3, 5, up to 7), then at the investigator’s discretion to assess 
duration of response in responding subjects. 
9.2 
Pharmacokinetic/Pharmacodynamic/Biomarker Assessments 
9.2.1 
Pharmacokinetics (PK) 
PK assessments will be based on AUC, Cmax, Cmin, and other PK parameters of decitabine, E7727, 
E7727-epimer, and cytidine levels. CDA activity will be measured at baseline from the predose 
sample in Course 1. The blood volume required per sample is 3 mL. Sampling should take place 
within ±10% of the scheduled time point, not to exceed ±1 hour at the 24-hour time point. 
Additional information regarding sample collection, processing, etc., will be provided in the 
laboratory manual. Also see Appendix 2. 
9.2.1.1 
Dose Escalation Stage, Course 1 
PK assessments will be done at the following time points in Course 1: 
• Day -3 (±2 days): 0 (pre-dose), 0.25, 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 3, 4 and 6 hours after dosing.

5 min after end of infusion), then 1.5, 2, 3, 4 and 6 hours from start of infusion. 
• Day 2: 0 (predose), 0.25, 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8 and 24 hours after dosing (Day 2, 24-hour 
sample is the pre-dose sample of Day 3). 
• Day 3: pre-dose only (this is Day 2, 24-hour sample). 
• Day 4: pre-dose only. 
• Day 5: 0 (predose), 0.25, 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8 hours.

Dose Escalation Stage, Course 2 
• Day -3 (±2 days): 0 (pre-dose), 0.25, 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8 and 24 hours after dosing (if 
24-hour sample is on Day 1 then obtain sample before the E7727 dose if E7727 dose 
administered one day before Day 1). 
9.2.1.3 
Dose Confirmation Stage 
PK assessments from the Dose Escalation Stage showed that decitabine blood levels on the first 
day of oral dosing (Day 2) were lower than on Day 5. This necessitates additional assessments of 
decitabine levels over the 5 days of oral dosing to estimate the AUC over the entire 5-day cycle. 
PK assessments will be done at the following time points according to the randomization 
assignment in Courses 1 and 2. 
When receiving IV decitabine: 
• Day 1: 0 (pre-dose), 0.25, 0.5, 1 (immediately before end of infusion), then 1.083 (1 hour 
5 min; 5 min after end of infusion), 1.5, 2, 3, 4 and 6 hours from the start of infusion. 
When receiving oral decitabine + E7727: 
• Day 1: 0 (pre-dose), and 0.25, 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8 and 24 hours after dosing (Day 1, 24-hour 
sample is the pre-dose sample of Day 2). 
• Day 2: 0 (pre-dose), and 0.25, 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8 and 24 hours after dosing (Day 2, 24-hour 
sample is the pre-dose sample of Day 3). 
• Day 3: 0 (pre-dose), 0.5, 1, and 2 hours after dosing. 
• Day 4: 0 (pre-dose), 0.5, 1, and 3 hours after dosing. 
• Day 5: 0 (pre-dose), 0.25, 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8 hours after dosing. 
After complete PK data from the first 12-24 subjects in the Dose Confirmation Stage are evaluated, 
PK assessments may be further modified to reduce the number of required collections.

Study Procedures 
9.4.1 
Schedule of Events  
Table 3 shows the dosing schedule by Stage and Course. Table 4 presents the complete schedule 
of events for all study stages, with details following in text. Additional information on the study 
procedures is provided in the study procedures manual. A detailed dosing schedule by stage and 
course is in Table 3. Time points for PK assessments are in Appendix 2. At any time in the study, 
one or more assessments may be eliminated at the recommendation of the DSRC if no longer 
needed to assess safety, PK, or PD of the study treatment. 
Clinical and diagnostic laboratory evaluations are detailed before study entry, throughout the 
study, and at the follow-up evaluation. The purpose of obtaining these detailed measurements is 
to ensure adequate assessments of efficacy, PK, PD, safety, and tolerability. Repeat clinical 
evaluations and laboratory studies more frequently if clinically indicated. 
Note any deviation from protocol procedures. Investigators are responsible for implementing 
appropriate measures to prevent the recurrence of violations and deviations and to report to their 
IRB/IEC according to policy.

a. 
The visit schedule and assessments are at the investigator’s discretion after Course 6, with the exception of adverse event and dosing information, which will still be collected. Continue to collect 
efficacy assessments, response assessment and survival data according to the protocol until disease progression (for response assessment) or death (for survival assessment). 
b. 
Perform Treatment Termination Visit procedures when a subject withdraws from further study treatment regardless of whether the subject withdrew from the whole study or not. The visit may 
occur at any time after the last study treatment and before the 30-day Follow-up visit. If the Treatment Termination Visit occurs close to the 30-day Follow-up visit, the 2 visits may be combined.  
c. 
30-Day Follow-up Visit must occur 30 (+5) days after the last dose of study treatment or within 3 days before starting new treatment. For 30-Day Follow-up via telephone, assess as much as 
possible but at a minimum assess AEs. 
d. 
Day -3 (±2 days): Applies only to Dose Escalation Stage Course 1 and Course 2. 
e. 
Screening: Must occur within 14 days before the first dose of decitabine, except for bone marrow biopsy/aspirate (may occur within 21 days before first dose of study treatment), and ECHO/MUGA 
(may occur within 28 days before first dose of study treatment). 
f. 
Medical history: Includes demographics and disease history at Screening. 
g. 
Physical Exam (PE): A complete PE performed at Screening per the institutional standard practice includes examination of the skin, eyes, ears, nose, throat, lungs, heart, abdomen, extremities, 
musculoskeletal system, nervous system and genitourinary system (if applicable). After Screening, symptom-directed PE (indicated by (x)) will be done pre-dose on Days 2-5 only if the subject is 
visiting the clinic for study purposes, and at all subsequent visits at the investigator’s discretion. For Dose Escalation Stage subjects who had full PE performed at Screening within 4 days of Course 
1 Day -3, it is not necessary to repeat the full PE on Day 1 during Course 1; a symptom-directed PE on Day 1 can be done instead. For Dose Escalation Stage subjects who had a full PE at Day -3 
(±2) in Course 1 and Course 2, it is not necessary to repeat the full PE on Day 1 during these courses; a symptom-directed PE on Day 1 can be done instead. For Dose Confirmation Stage or Fixed-
Dose Combination Stage, subjects who had full PE performed at Screening within 4 days of Course 1 Day 1, it is not necessary to repeat the full PE on Day 1 during Course 1; a symptom-directed 
PE on Day 1 can be done instead. 
h. 
BSA calculation applies only to the Screening and the first visit of the course in which the subject is receiving IV decitabine (20 mg/m2) or whenever dosing is given per surface area. Day 1, Dose 
Escalation Stage; Day 1, Dose Confirmation Stage (Course 1 or 2 according to randomization). Use actual body weights only for BSA calculations. BSA does not need to be performed at the 
Termination visit. 
i. 
Vital signs: Include resting systolic/diastolic blood pressure, resting respiration rate, resting heart rate, and body temperature. Assess after the subject has rested in the sitting position for at least 3 
minutes. On Days 2-5 in Course 1 and Course 2, perform vital signs only if the subject is visiting the clinic for study procedures (eg, administration of IV decitabine). 
j. 
ECOG status: Complete at Screening and predose as indicated in above table.  In Course 1, if assessed on Day -3 (±2) in Dose Escalation Stage or Screening (± 4 days) in the Dose Confirmation 
Stage or Fixed-Dose Combination Stage, it is not necessary to repeat on Day 1.

k. 
12-Lead ECG (single tracing only, unless clinically significant abnormality for which triplicate ECG is preferred for confirmation, eg, QTc >500 msec): Obtain predose as indicated in above table.  
In Course 1, if assessed on Day -3 (±2) in Dose Escalation Stage or Screening (± 4 days) in the Dose Confirmation Stage or Fixed-Dose Confirmation Stage, it is not necessary to repeat on Day 1. 
Either the Bazett’s or Fridericia’s formula may be used to calculate the QTc interval but must be consistently used throughout the study. Course ≥3: Day 1 only. 
l. 
ECHO/MUGA: May be done within 28 days of first dose of study treatment. 
m. 
Concomitant medications/Adverse events: Collect all AEs on indicated study days through the 30-Day Follow-up Visit. Collect all concomitant treatments through the termination visit and then 
only those used to treat AEs through the 30-Day Follow-up Visit. After 30-day follow up, collect only SAEs that are considered related to the study treatment. 
n. 
Transfusion requirements: Assess PRBC and platelet transfusions 8 weeks prior to study entry and then at on indicated study days.  
o. 
Hematology: Must include complete blood count with manual differential and platelet counts. In Course 1, Day -3 (±2) in Dose Escalation Stage and Course 1, Day 1 in the Dose Confirmation 
Stage or Fixed-Dose Combination Stage, hematology evaluations do not need to be repeated if Screening tests are within 4 days of first dose of study treatment. In Course 2, Day 1 in the Dose 
Escalation Stage, hematology evaluations do not need to be repeated if Course 2 Day -3 (±2) is performed within 4 days of Course 2, Day 1 dose. Additional laboratory assessments may be done 
at the investigator’s discretion for clinical interventions. 
p. 
Chemistry: Must include glucose, calcium, magnesium, albumin, total protein, sodium, potassium, CO2, chloride, BUN, creatinine, lactate dehydrogenase, alkaline phosphatase, ALT, AST, total 
bilirubin, direct bilirubin only if total bilirubin is elevated above the protocol inclusion criterion (Section 5.2). Course 1, Day -3 (±2) in the Dose Escalation Stage and Course 1, Day 1 in the Dose 
Confirmation Stage or Fixed-Dose Combination Stage, chemistry evaluations do not need to be repeated if screening tests are within 4 days of first dose of study treatment. In Course 2, Day 1 in 
the Dose Escalation Stage, chemistry evaluations do not need to be repeated if Course 2 Day -3 (±2) is performed within 4 days of Course 2, Day 1 dose. For Course 1, Day -3 (±2) in Dose 
Escalation Stage and Course 1, Day 1 in the Dose Confirmation Stage or Fixed-Dose Confirmation Stage, all chemistry evaluations must meet study entry criteria before dosing.  Additional 
laboratory assessments may be done at the investigator’s discretion for clinical interventions.   
q. 
Urinalysis: Dipstick only (microscopic analysis required only to follow up abnormal findings or if dipstick not performed). (See Table 5.) Includes microscopic examination. Course 1, Day -3 (±2), 
Dose Escalation Stage only. Course 1, Day 1 – Dose Confirmation Stage or Fixed-Dose Combination Stage. Urinalysis evaluations do not need to be repeated if screening tests are within 4 days 
before first dose of study treatment.  
r. 
Pregnancy test: Serum or urine; only for women of child-bearing potential. 
s. 
IPSS Risk Category: Int-1: 0.5–1; - Int-2: 1.5-2; High risk: ≥2.5. 
t. 
LINE-1 DNA methylation: LINE-1 DNA at Screening and pre-dose in Courses 1, 2,  and 3 only, and on designated days of Course 1 and 2 only (see Sections 9.2.2, 9.4.3.2, 9.4.3.4, 9.4.4, 9.4.5,

u. 
PK: see Appendix 2. 
v. 
Response assessment: Refer to Table 7 for the appropriate disease assessment.  
w. 
Bone marrow aspirate or biopsy: The screening bone marrow aspirate or biopsy must occur within 21 days of the first dose of study treatment. Bone marrow aspirate must be done to verify first 
CR, PR, mCR immediately when peripheral blood counts suggest a response, and within 7 days before the start of each odd course (Courses 3, 5, up to 7), as long as the subject continues to be 
responding, then according to local standard practice. Otherwise, this may be done at the investigator’s discretion. Bone marrow aspirate or biopsy differential will be performed according to local 
standard practice. A bone marrow biopsy can be done if no aspirate is available. Bone marrow aspirate or biopsy differential may include the following: Total cells counted, Metamyelocytes, 
Lymphocytes, Normoblasts, Myeloid and erythroid maturation, Blasts, Segmented neutrophils, Plasma cells, Megakaryocytes, Presence of dysplasia, Promyelocytes, Eosinophils, Monocytes, M:E 
ratio, Cellularity: % cellularity; hypocellular, hypercellular, normocellular; Myelocytes, Basophils, Pronormoblasts, Other. An anonymized report of all bone marrow testing results will be recorded 
on the Case Report Form. A portion of bone marrow aspirates will be used for assessing 
. Cytogenetics will be reviewed on the screening bone marrow and should 
include at least 20 clones. If cytogenetics are abnormal, they must be reviewed again in subsequent bone marrow aspirates or biopsies. 
x. 
Conversion to AML: Follow all subjects for survival who have stopped study treatment. Contact each subject at least every 3 months until death or withdrawal of consent. This assessment may be 
conducted by telephone.

Screening and Baseline Procedures 
After the investigator or sub-investigator confirms that a subject is eligible and willing to 
participate in the study, study center personnel will forward the appropriate documentation to the 
attention of the sponsor according to the study manual. 
Within 14 days before treatment administration (unless otherwise specified), perform the 
following study procedures and tests: 
• Written informed consent. The ICF must be signed and dated by the subjects before any 
study-specific samples are collected or study-specific procedures are initiated. 
• Complete medical history, including demographics (date of birth, sex, race). Record disease 
history, including the date of initial diagnosis. Document concurrent medical signs and 
symptoms to establish baseline conditions. 
• Investigator’s confirmation of eligibility. Perform all necessary procedures and evaluations to 
document that the subject meets each eligibility criterion. 
• Complete physical exam as per the institution standard practice including examination of the 
skin, eyes, ears, nose, throat, lungs, heart, abdomen, extremities, musculoskeletal system, 
nervous system, and genitourinary system (if applicable). 
• Obtain height and weight/BSA calculation. 
• Vital signs include resting (assessed after the subject has rested in a sitting position for at least 
3 minutes) systolic/diastolic blood pressure, resting respiration rate, resting heart rate, and body 
temperature (vital signs). 
• ECOG performance status (Appendix 3).  
• 12-lead ECG – single tracing only (rhythm, atrial rate, ventricular rate, PR interval, QRS 
duration, and QT/QTc, and overall interpretation). Either the Bazett’s or Fridericia’s formula 
may be used to calculate the QTc interval, one formula but must be consistently used 
throughout the study. Course ≥3: Day 1 only. 
• ECHO or MUGA; may be performed up to 28 days before study treatment. 
• Record concomitant medications. 
• Assess transfusion dependency status. See Section 9.6 for definitions of transfusion 
dependence and independence.  
• Collect blood samples for hematology and serum chemistry, and urine sample for 
urinalysis (Table 5). 
• Serum or urine pregnancy test: for women of child-bearing potential only. Results must be 
negative for the subject to be eligible for enrollment into the study. 
• Assess IPSS, number of prior cancer treatments. 
• Obtain whole blood sample for LINE-1 DNA methylation (all groups).

Missed Evaluations 
Evaluations should occur within the visit window specified by the protocol. If an evaluation is 
missed, reschedule and perform it as close as possible to the original date. If rescheduling becomes, 
in the investigator’s opinion, medically unnecessary because the evaluation would occur too close 
to the next scheduled evaluation, it may be omitted. 
9.6 
Response Criteria 
The response criteria for evaluation of MDS are based on the International Working Group criteria 
published by Cheson et al. (2006) and are shown in Table 7. 
Table 7: 
IWG 2006 MDS Response Criteria 
Complete Response (CR): the following for 4 weeks 
Peripheral: normal peripheral counts with persistent granulocyte count ≥ 1.0 x 109/L, platelet ≥ 100 x 109/L 
Marrow: normal bone marrow with persistent marrow blasts ≤ 5%; peripheral dysplasia will be noted 
Partial Response (PR): the following for 4 weeks 
Peripheral: normal peripheral counts with granulocyte count ≥ 1.0 x 109/L and platelet count ≥ 100 x 109/L 
Marrow: normal bone marrow and marrow blasts > 5% but were reduced by 50% or more 
Marrow Complete Response (mCR): the following 4 weeks 
Reduction of bone marrow blasts to ≤ 5% without normalization of peripheral counts 
Hematological Improvement (HI): lasts at least 8 weeksa 
Erythroid Response (HI-E): Major Response: hemoglobin increase ≥ 1.5 g/dL or RBC transfusion dependence 
Platelet Response (HI-P): 
Major Response: absolute increase of platelet count from < 20 to > 20 X 109/L and 
by at least 100%, or if more than 20 X 109/L, by an absolute 
increase of at least 30 X 109/L 
Neutrophil Response (HI-N): Major Response: granulocyte increase ≥ 100%, and by an absolute increase ≥0.5 X 
109/L 
a  Abnormal baseline counts were the averages of at least two measurements over at least one week prior to therapy, 
not influenced by transfusions. 
Transfusion dependence and independence will be defined by the transfusion requirements during 
the 8 weeks before study treatment start (Steensma et al 2009):  
• Transfusion dependent anemia at baseline: documentation of 2 units or more PRBCs within 56 
days of the first day of study treatment 
• Post-treatment Transfusion independence : no blood transfusion of 2 or more units of PRBCs 
for 56 days or more after treatment

EVALUATION, RECORDING, AND REPORTING OF ADVERSE EVENTS 
10.1 
Definitions 
10.1.1 
Adverse Event (AE) 
Adverse Event (AE): Any untoward medical occurrence associated with the use of a drug in 
humans, whether or not considered drug related. An AE can therefore be any unfavorable and 
unintended sign (including a clinically significant abnormal finding in laboratory tests or other 
diagnostic procedures), symptom, or disease temporally associated with the use of a drug, without 
any judgment about causality. An AE can arise from any use of the drug and from any route of 
administration, formulation, or dose, including an overdose.  
Disease progression is not considered to be an AE or serious adverse event (SAE). If there are 
specific AEs that are always part of disease progression, these do not need to be reported as AEs 
or serious adverse events (SAEs). Pre-existing medical conditions (other than natural progression 
of the disease being studied) judged by the investigator or subject to have worsened in severity or 
frequency or changed in character during the protocol-specified AE reporting period will be 
reported as AEs or SAEs as appropriate. 
An AE or SAE can also be a complication that occurs as a result of protocol mandated procedures 
(e.g., invasive procedures such as biopsies). 
10.1.2 
Serious Adverse Events (SAEs) 
An AE is considered serious, if in the view of either the investigator or sponsor, it results in any 
of the following outcomes: 
• Death. 
• A life-threatening AE. 
• An AE is considered “life-threatening” if in the view of either the investigator, or sponsor, its 
occurrence places the subject at immediate risk of death. It does not include an AE that, had it 
occurred in a more severe form, might have caused death. 
• Inpatient hospitalization or prolongation of an existing hospitalization. 
• A persistent or significant incapacity or substantial disruption of the ability to conduct normal 
life functions. 
• A congenital anomaly or birth defect. 
Important medical events that may not result in death, be life-threatening or require hospitalization 
may be considered serious when, based on the appropriate medical judgment, they may jeopardize 
the subject and may require medical or surgical intervention to prevent one of the outcomes listed 
in the definition of SAE. Examples of such medical events are intensive treatment in an emergency 
room or at home; blood dyscrasias or convulsions that do not result in inpatient hospitalization; or 
development of drug dependency or drug abuse.

Clinical Protocol ASTX727-01 
 
CONFIDENTIAL 
62 
Version 5.0: 06 April 2017 
10.2 
Adverse Event Reporting and Descriptions 
Record new AEs from the start of study treatment until 30 days after the last dose of study 
treatment. Also record screening procedure-related AEs that occur before the start of study 
treatment. 
Record all treatment-emergent AEs (AEs occurring after the start of study treatment) either 
observed by the investigator or one of his or her medical collaborators, or reported by the subject 
spontaneously, or in response to the direct question below, in the AEs section of the subject’s 
CRF/eCRF, in the source document, and if applicable, record on the SAE form. Whenever 
possible, the investigator should group signs and symptoms (including laboratory tests or other 
results of diagnostic procedures) into a single diagnosis under a single term. For example, cough, 
rhinitis, and sneezing might be reported as “upper respiratory infection” or a pulmonary infiltrate, 
positive sputum culture and fever might be reported as “pneumonia.” 
To optimize consistency of AE reporting across centers, ask the subject a standard, general, non-
leading question to elicit any AEs (such as “Have you had any new symptoms, injuries, illnesses 
since your last visit?”).  
For any change in laboratory results, vital signs, physical examination, radiologic exam or ECG 
measurements that arises after treatment, the investigator will decide if the finding or result is 
clinically significant and will determine if it is necessary to repeat the evaluation. If the investigator 
judges the finding or result as clinically significant, it must be recorded as an AE, and if applicable, 
reported as an SAE. Clinically significant laboratory findings include any laboratory result for 
which a therapeutic intervention is initiated to correct the abnormality; this excludes intervention 
to correct the abnormality as part of the disease state or disease progression. 
Death is an outcome of an SAE and usually not itself an SAE, unless it is death with no identifiable 
cause or event. In all other cases, record the cause of death as the SAE. Investigators will assess 
the status of previously reported, and occurrence of new AEs and SAEs at all subject evaluation 
time points during the study. 
10.2.1 
Severity 
Use the definitions found in the CTCAE v4.0 for grading the severity (intensity) of AEs. The 
CTCAE v4.0 displays Grades 1 through 5 with unique clinical descriptions of severity for each 
referenced AE. Should a subject experience any AE not listed in the CTCAE v4.0, use the 
following grading system to assess severity: 
• Grade 1 – Mild; asymptomatic or mild symptoms; clinical or diagnostic observations only; 
intervention not indicated. 
• Grade 2 – Moderate; minimal, local or noninvasive intervention indicated; limiting age-
appropriate instrumental activities of daily living (ADL), such as preparing meals, shopping 
for groceries or clothes, using the telephone, managing money, etc. 

Astex Pharmaceuticals, Inc. 
 
 
Clinical Protocol ASTX727-01 
 
CONFIDENTIAL 
63 
Version 5.0: 06 April 2017 
• Grade 3 – Severe or medically significant but not immediately life-threatening; hospitalization 
or prolongation of hospitalization indicated; disabling; limiting self care ADL, such as bathing, 
dressing and undressing, feeding self, using the toilet, taking medications, and not bedridden. 
• Grade 4 – Life-threatening consequences; urgent intervention indicated. 
• Grade 5 – Death related to AE. 
10.2.2 
Relationship to Study Treatment (Suspected Adverse Reactions) 
Assess all AEs/SAEs for relationship to study treatment or if applicable, to study procedure. 
If an AE/SAE occurs before the first dose of study treatment, report it only if it is considered 
related to a study-specific procedure (e.g., bleeding or local infection after skin punch biopsy). 
Those events will be recorded in the study database but will not be part of the treatment- emergent 
AE analysis.  
To ensure consistency of AE and SAE causality assessments, investigators should apply the 
general guideline shown below. Multi-drug regimens should have a causality assessment of each 
component to aid in analysis. 
Related  
(Suspected Adverse 
Reaction) 
A suspected adverse reaction means any AE for which there is a 
reasonable possibility that the drug caused the AE. Reasonable 
possibility means there is evidence to suggest a causal relationship 
between the drug and the AE such as a plausible temporal 
relationship between the onset of the AE and administration of the 
drug; and/or the AE follows a known pattern of response to the drug; 
and/or the AE abates or resolves upon discontinuation of the drug or 
dose reduction and, if applicable, reappears upon rechallenge. 
Further examples of type of evidence that would suggest a causal 
relationship between the drug and the AE: 
• A single occurrence of an event that is uncommon and known to 
be strongly associated with drug exposure (e.g., angioedema, 
hepatic injury, Stevens-Johnson Syndrome), 
• One or more occurrences of an event that is not commonly 
associated with drug exposure, but is otherwise uncommon in the 
population exposed to the drug (e.g., acute myocardial infarction 
in a young woman), 
• An aggregate analysis of specific events observed in a clinical 
study (such as known consequences of the underlying disease or 
condition under investigation or other events that commonly 
occur in the study population independent of drug therapy) that 
indicates those events occur more frequently in the drug 
treatment group that in a concurrent or historical control group.

10.2.3 
Pregnancy and Abortion 
Report any pregnancy that occurs in a subject or male subject’s female partner during the time 
between the first study-specific procedure and 60 days after the last dose of study treatment. 
Record any occurrence of pregnancy on the Pregnancy Report Form Part I and fax to Astex 
Pharmaceuticals Drug Safety within 24 hours of learning of the event. After the birth of the baby, 
collect additional information on the baby until the baby is 1 year old by completing the Pregnancy 
Report Form Part II. 
A subject must immediately inform the investigator if the subject or subject’s partner becomes 
pregnant during the time between the first study-specific procedure and 60 days after the last dose 
of study treatment. Any female subjects receiving the study treatments who become pregnant must 
immediately discontinue study treatment. The investigator should counsel the subject, discussing 
any risks of continuing the pregnancy and any possible effects on the fetus. 
Report any abortion and the reason for it, whether therapeutic, elective or spontaneous, to Astex 
Pharmaceuticals Drug Safety within 24 hours, through the SAE reporting process (Section 10.3). 
10.3 
Reporting and Evaluation of Serious Adverse Events 
10.3.1 
Reporting Requirements for Serious Adverse Events (SAEs) 
All SAEs regardless of causality will be reported by the investigator to Astex Pharmaceuticals 
through the 30-day period after the last dose of study treatment. Deaths and SAEs occurring after 
the 30-day safety follow-up period AND considered related to study treatment or study procedures 
must also be reported. 
Report all SAEs (initial and follow-up information) on an SAE form and fax the form to Astex 
Pharmaceuticals Drug Safety, or designee, within 24 hours of the discovery of the event or 
information (see below). Astex Pharmaceuticals may request follow-up and other additional 
information from the investigator (e.g., hospital admission or discharge notes, laboratory results).

Version 5.0: 06 April 2017 
Report all deaths with the primary cause of death as the SAE term, as death is the outcome of the 
event, not the event itself. If an autopsy was performed, report the primary cause of death on the 
autopsy report as the SAE term. Forward autopsy and postmortem reports to Astex 
Pharmaceuticals Drug Safety, or designee, as outlined above. 
If study treatment is discontinued, temporarily suspended or dose reduced because of an SAE, 
include this information in the SAE report. 
Suspected Unexpected Serious Adverse Reactions (SUSARs) are SAEs that qualify for mandatory 
expedited reporting to regulatory authorities where the SAE is suspected to be caused by the study 
treatment and is considered unexpected (i.e., not defined as expected in the current IB clinical 
study protocol, or approved labeling for marketed drugs). In this case, Astex Pharmaceuticals Drug 
Safety or designee will report to the relevant regulatory authorities and forward a formal 
notification describing the SUSAR to investigators, according to regulatory requirements. Each 
investigator must then notify his or her IRB/IEC of the SUSAR as required by local regulatory 
authorities and in accordance with IRB/IEC policy. 
10.4 
Follow-up for Adverse Events 
Follow all AEs and SAEs assessed as related to study treatment or study procedures that are 
encountered during the protocol-specified AE reporting period (1) to resolution, (2) until the 
investigator assesses the subject as stable and the event is following a clinically expected outcome, 
or (3) until the subject is lost to follow-up or withdraws consent.

STATISTICS 
Statistical analyses will be performed by Astex Pharmaceuticals, Inc. or its designee. 
Data summaries and listings will be generated using SAS version 9.3 or higher (SAS Institute Inc.,

For this stage, no formal statistical tests of hypotheses are performed to calculate sample size. The 
Dose Escalation Stage follows a standard 3+3 design, with a cohort size of 3-12 evaluable subjects 
(and may be extended to 18 subjects to confirm the AUC range, if recommended by the DSRC). 
The enrollment of subjects in the Dose Escalation Stage will continue until the desired decitabine 
AUC level (AUC ratio of 0.90 to 1.10 of oral decitabine to IV decitabine) and safety are achieved, 
as described in Section 4.1.1. A subject is considered evaluable for the Dose Escalation Stage if 
all the criteria below are met:

Version 5.0: 06 April 2017 
• Complete Course 1 dosing regimen with sufficient PK data available. 
• Safety assessment for the 28 days of Course 1. 
11.1.2 
Dose Confirmation Stage 
At least 42 evaluable subjects are planned for enrollment into the Dose Confirmation Stage. 
Forty-two evaluable subjects with an IPSS risk level of intermediate-1, intermediate-2, or high risk 
are needed to assess decitabine AUC (estimated from 5 days of dosing) and LINE-1 demethylation, 
using a standard 2 x 2 cross-over design, between IV decitabine 20 mg/m2 daily×5 and the 
recommended doses of oral decitabine + E7727 as determined in the Dose Escalation Stage. 
Evaluable subjects for this assessment of decitabine and LINE-1 DNA demethylation are those 
who meet all the following criteria: 
• Complete the dosing regimens in Courses 1 and 2 with sufficient PK data available. 
• Have at least one bone marrow aspirate/biopsy after Course 2. 
In an equivalence test of the mean decitabine AUCs of oral decitabine + E7727 (estimated from 
5 days of dosing) compared with IV decitabine using two one-sided tests on data from a 2 x 2 
cross-over design, a sample size of 42 achieves 86% power at a 10% significance level when the 
true ratio of the means is 1.0, the coefficient of variation on the original, unlogged scale is 0.50 
which was estimated from a previous study described in the Dacogen Prescribing Information 
(2014), and the equivalence limits of the mean ratio are 0.75 and 1.33. 
This same sample size of 42 in the same 2 x 2 cross-over design achieves 80% power to detect the 
non-inferiority, with respect to the mean maximum %LINE-1 demethylation from baseline, of oral 
decitabine + E7727 compared with IV decitabine using a one-sided t-test when the margin of non-
inferiority is -0.05, the true mean difference is 0, the standard deviation (SD) is 0.15 and the 
significance level is 0.10. The SD of the paired differences of 0.15 was estimated from a previous 
study. 
11.1.3 
Fixed-Dose Combination Stage 
Subjects in a standard 2 x 2 crossover design are considered evaluable for equivalence analysis if 
those subjects complete treatment in Courses 1 and 2 with sufficient PK data. A total of 
18-24 evaluable subjects included in the 2 one-sided equivalence tests for mean oral decitabine 
AUC compared with mean IV decitabine AUC will provide 75%-88% power at a 10% significance 
level when the true ratio of means is 1.0, the coefficient of variation under an unlogged scale is 
0.55, and the equivalence limits for the ratio of means are 0.65 and 1.539. 
The 18-24 subjects who complete Courses 1 and 2 with sufficient LINE-1 data in the same 2 x 2 
crossover design will provide 78%-86% power to detect non-inferiority, with respect to the mean 
maximum %LINE-1 demethylation from baseline, of the ASTX727 FDC tablet compared with IV

decitabine using a one-sided t-test when the margin of non-inferiority is 0.075, the true mean 
difference is 0, the standard deviation (SD) is 0.15 and the significance level is 0.10. 
11.2 
Data Sets to be Analyzed 
11.2.1 
All Enrolled Subjects 
This data set will contain available data from all enrolled subjects, including those who did not 
receive any study treatment. This data set will be used for analysis of subject disposition. 
11.2.2 
Efficacy 
The efficacy data set will include data from all enrolled subjects who receive any amount of study 
treatment. 
11.2.3 
Safety 
The safety data set will be the same as the efficacy data set, which includes data from all enrolled 
subjects who receive any amount of study treatment. In the safety analysis, no data exclusion is 
allowed because of protocol deviations. 
11.2.4 
Pharmacokinetics 
The PK data set will include all available plasma concentrations for decitabine, E7727, and E7727-
epimer for subjects who have received study treatment. PK parameters will be derived for all PK-
evaluable subjects, provided sufficient data points are available.  
11.2.5 
Pharmacodynamics and Biomarker Analyses 
Subjects will be included in the PD and biomarker analyses if their DNA global methylation  
(LINE-1) data or biomarker data are successfully collected and tested. 
11.3 
Schedule of Analyses 
Analyses of safety, efficacy, PD, and PK data will be regularly performed for review by the DSRC 
for the purpose of guiding decisions such as dose escalation, de-escalation, and change in cohort 
size, determination of subsequent dose level during the Dose Escalation Stage. Final and complete 
analyses of all data, however, will be performed at the end of the Dose Confirmation Stage after 
all subjects have completed at least two courses of therapy (as planned). Additional survival 
analysis based on long-term follow-up may be conducted as needed. 
In the Dose Confirmation Stage, the DSRC will review data from the first 6-12 subjects with 
complete PK and PD data from the first 2 courses to confirm the doses used for ASTX727 
components. If a dose change is required, another assessment of PK and PD data will be done after 
6-12 subjects have received the new doses.

Version 5.0: 06 April 2017 
In the FDC Stage, data from subjects who have complete PK and PD data from Courses 1 and 2 
of the FDC Stage will be reviewed to confirm that data with the FDC tablet are similar to data with 
IV decitabine. 
No formal interim analyses are planned for this study. 
11.4 
Analysis of Subject Disposition 
The number and percentage (n, %) of subjects enrolled, treated, lost to follow up, and withdrawn 
(with reason) will be summarized by study stage. The All Enrolled Subject Data Set will be used 
for disposition analysis. The number screened and reasons for screen fails will be noted if the 
information is available. 
The number of subjects transitioned from E7727 + decitabine capsules to the ASTX727 FDC tablet 
will be summarized by subjects’ original study stage and treatment cohorts. 
11.5 
Analysis of Demographic and Baseline Data 
Subject demographic and baseline characteristics will be summarized using mean, standard 
deviation, median, minimum, and maximum for continuous variables, and by counts and 
percentages for categorical variables based on all treated subjects (safety and efficacy dataset). 
Summaries will be provided separately by stage of study and, if deemed necessary, by dose cohort 
or treatment sequence. 
11.6 
Efficacy Analyses 
Efficacy analyses will be conducted based on all treated subjects (efficacy dataset) by stage of the 
study, and if deemed necessary, by dose cohort (Dose Escalation Stage). 
Response rates and rates of hematologic improvement will be calculated as defined by the IWG 
2006 MDS Response Criteria. The 95% CIs will be estimated for the response rate calculated. 
Duration of response (in number of days) will be calculated from the first time the response is 
observed to time of relapse or last time point in the study. Rate of transfusion independence will 
be calculated based on the number of transfusion-dependent subjects who had no transfusion for 
at least 56 days during treatment. 
Overall survival will be defined as the number of days from the day the subject received the first 
dose of IV decitabine, oral decitabine + E7727, or the FDC tablet, to the date of death (regardless 
of cause). Time to AML  will be the number of days from the day the subject received the first 
dose of IV decitabine, oral decitabine + E7727, or the FDC tablet, to the date of death or the date 
of MDS progression to AML as defined by ≥20% blasts in bone marrow or peripheral blood using 
the WHO classification. Both of these time-to-event endpoints will be evaluated using the Kaplan-
Meier method. Survival time and time to AML will be censored on the last date of contact if a 
subject is lost to follow up prior to reaching a time-to-event endpoint.

Safety Analyses 
Safety analyses include the analyses of AEs, DLTs, concomitant medications, laboratory values, 
vital signs and ECG assessments. Safety analyses will be conducted on all treated subjects (safety 
dataset), by stage of study and dose cohort as appropriate. 
AE terms reported by study subjects or observed by investigators will be mapped to the appropriate 
system organ class (SOC) and preferred term (PT) according to the MedDRA version 16.0. 
Severity of AE will be graded using NCI CTCAE version 4.0. All adverse events will be listed. 
Treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs) will be summarized using counts and percentages 
by MedDRA SOC and PT and by CTC AE grades. TEAEs are defined as events that occurred or 
worsened after the first dose of study treatment. Summaries of all TEAEs, all related TEAEs, all 
serious TEAEs and all serious related TEAEs will be provided. 
DLTs are defined in Section 4.5. Instances of DLTs will be identified in each dose cohort and 
listed separately to assist in determining the desired dose level for the combination of oral 
decitabine + E7727 in the Dose Escalation Stage. DLTs will be summarized by severity and 
seriousness (Y/N), as well as relationship to the study treatment.  
Concomitant medications will be coded according to the WHO DRUG Dictionary (December 
2012 version) and summarized by Therapeutic subgroup (ATC level 2) and generic name. 
Concomitant medications are the medications taken with a start date on or after the start of the 
administration of the study treatment. 
Laboratory values will be listed. Laboratory values will also be graded, if possible and deemed 
necessary, by CTCAE in conjunction with the Harrison (18th edition) lab book normals. Shift 
tables will display (1) shift from baseline to worst laboratory value grade during the study, and 
(2) shift from baseline to last lab value grade at the end of the study. 
Vital Signs will be summarized by visit using proportion of subjects with each vital sign being too 
high or too low according to the conventionally accepted vital sign normal ranges. 
For analysis of ECGs, QTc will be coded using CTCAE 4.0, and shift tables will be used to show 
the shift from baseline grade to worst grade and from baseline to the last visit QTc grade. 
11.8 
Pharmacokinetic/Pharmacodynamic/Biomarker Analyses 
11.8.1 
Pharmacokinetic Analyses 
The PK data set will be used for analysis of all PK parameters. PK parameters of decitabine, E7727, 
and E7727-epimer will be derived for each subject using a non-compartmental approach. 
PK parameters will be summarized descriptively using mean, standard deviation, median and 
range by dose cohort and course/days, and by stage of the study if deemed necessary. In particular, 
PK values obtained after oral decitabine + E7727 or the FDC tablet will be compared descriptively 
with those after IV decitabine on intra-subject basis and also by dose/cohort average basis.

Version 5.0: 06 April 2017 
In addition, the decitabine AUC values obtained from the 2 x 2 crossover design part of the study 
(Dose Confirmation and FDC Stages) will be analyzed for equivalence of means using the 
confidence interval (CI) method. The AUC values from the two treatments are considered 
comparable for the purpose of this phase 1-2 study, if the two-sided 80% CI of the mean AUC 
ratio lies entirely within the range of 0.75 – 1.33 in the Dose Confirmation Stage or 0.65-1.539 in 
the FDC Stage. 
PK dose proportionality will be tested using linear regression between dose and dose-adjusted 
parameter estimates; correlation of PK to PD will be assessed. 
11.8.2 
Pharmacodynamic/Biomarker Analyses 
Subjects will be included in the PD and biomarker analyses if their DNA global methylation 
(LINE-1) data or biomarker data are successfully collected and tested. PD and biomarkers will be 
summarized descriptively (using mean, standard deviation, median and range for continuous 
variables and counts and percentages for categorical variables) by dose cohort and course/days, 
and by stage of the study if deemed necessary.  
In addition, the mean maximum %LINE-1 demethylation from baseline obtained from the 2 x 2 
crossover design part of the study will be analyzed for non-inferiority of means (oral decitabine + 
E7727 compared with IV decitabine in the Dose Confirmation Stage, and the FDC tablet compared 
with IV decitabine in the FDC Stage) using the confidence interval (CI) method. Oral decitabine 
+ E7727 is considered non-inferior to IV decitabine with respect to LINE-1 demethylation, for the 
purpose of this phase 1-2 study, if the upper bound of the two-sided 80% CI of the difference in 
mean maximum %LINE-1 demethylation between oral decitabine + E7727 and IV decitabine is 
below 0.05 in the Dose Confirmation Stage. In the FDC Stage, the upper bound of the two-sided 
80% CI for the difference of mean maximum %LINE-1 demethylation between the FDC tablet 
and IV decitabine must be <0.075 to achieve non-inferiority. The details of this analysis will be 
defined in the statistical analysis plan. 
Additional biomarker analysis will include assessment of baseline CDA activity and changes in 
circulating 
 levels post-treatment. 
11.9 
Interim Analysis 
No formal interim analysis is planned for this study. However, safety data will be routinely 
reviewed, and a thorough review of safety data will be conducted after every cohort of at least 
3 subjects during the Dose Escalation Stage, at the end the Dose Escalation Stage, and at least 
quarterly during the Dose Confirmation Stage. In addition, during the Dose Confirmation Stage 
and FDC Stage, data assessments will be conducted by the DSRC as described above in 
Section 11.3.

Investigator’s Responsibilities 
14.2.1 
Subject Screening Log  
The investigator must keep a record that lists all subjects who signed an informed consent and the 
reason for non-inclusion if they were not ultimately randomized or treated. 
14.2.2 
Decitabine, E7727, and FDC Tablet Accountability 
Initial supply of E7727 and decitabine capsules (ie, not decitabine IV) will be provided to US sites, 
as decitabine IV is commercially available in the US. However, E7727 and decitabine  
(capsules and IV) will be provided by Astex to Canadian sites, as decitabine IV is not approved in 
Canada. Thereafter, the study pharmacist is responsible for ordering resupplies. 
The FDC tablet will be supplied by Astex to all study centers. 
Keep E7727 and decitabine in a locked, limited-access room. The study treatment must not be 
used outside the context of the protocol. Under no circumstances should the investigator or other 
study center personnel supply E7727 or decitabine to other investigators, subjects, or clinics or 
allow supplies to be used other than as directed by this protocol without prior authorization from 
Astex Pharmaceuticals. 
The monitor will regularly review and verify all E7727 and decitabine supplies and associated 
documentation. 
Maintain an accurate accounting of the study treatments. These records must show dates, lot 
numbers, quantities received, dispensed, and returned and must be available for monitoring by the 
sponsor. The investigator will ensure that any used and unused E7727 and/or decitabine and other 
study material is destroyed or returned to the sponsor on completion of the study. If E7727 and/or 
decitabine is destroyed at the study center, there should be documentation of destruction at the 
study center. The sponsor and/or their representatives will verify final drug accountability. Drug 
accountability records must be maintained and readily available for inspection by representatives 
of Astex Pharmaceuticals and are open to inspections by regulatory authorities at any time. 
14.2.3 
Reporting and Recording of Study Data 
Data will be captured and compiled using procedures developed by the sponsor or their 
representatives. Clearly record all requested study data on the eCRF and other study forms as 
required. Whenever possible, record the reason for missing data in the source document. Only 
individuals who are identified on the study personnel responsibility/signature log may enter or 
correct data in the eCRF. Incomplete or inconsistent data on the eCRFs will result in data queries 
that require resolution by the investigator or designee. 
The investigator must assure subject anonymity and protection of identities from unauthorized 
parties. On eCRFs or other documents or subject records provided to Astex Pharmaceuticals, 
identify subjects by code (subject number, initials, date of birth) and not by names. The principal 

Astex Pharmaceuticals, Inc.

investigator should maintain documents not for submission to Astex Pharmaceuticals, (e.g., 
subjects’ signed informed consent) in strict confidence. 
14.2.4 
Source Documentation 
The investigator must maintain adequate and accurate source documents upon which eCRFs for 
each subject are based. They are to be separate and distinct from eCRFs, except for cases in which 
the sponsor has predetermined that direct data entry into specified pages of the subject’s eCRF is 
appropriate. These records should include detailed notes on: 
• The oral and written communication with the subject regarding the study treatment  
(including the risks and benefits of the study). Record the date of informed consent in the 
source documentation. 
• The subject’s medical history before participation in the study. 
• The subject’s basic identifying information, such as demographics, that links the subject’s 
source documents with the eCRFs. 
• The results of all diagnostic tests performed, diagnoses made, therapy provided, and any other 
data on the condition of the subject. 
• The subject’s exposure to study treatment. 
• All AEs. 
• The subject’s exposure to any concomitant therapy (including start and stop dates, route of 
administration, and dosage). 
• All relevant observations and data on the condition of the subject throughout the study. 
14.2.5 
Tissue and Blood Sample Collection/Storage 
Tissue and blood components samples which are collected as part of routine medical care or as 
part of protocol procedures may be stored and analyzed for PK or PD analyses.  
After the study, samples may be used for additional investigation to help identify factors that may 
influence response to therapy. Such samples will be used in compliance with guidelines defined 
by FDA Guidance on Informed Consent for In Vitro Diagnostic Device Studies Using Leftover 
Human Specimens that are Not Individually Identifiable (issued 25 April 2006) and European 
Agency for the Evaluation of Medicinal Products (EMEA)’s Reflection Paper on 
Pharmacogenomic Samples, Testing and Data Handling (EMEA 2007). Astex Pharmaceuticals, 
Inc. will not store study samples in a biobank. 
14.2.6 
Records Retention 
The investigator must ensure that clinical study records are retained according to national 
regulations, as documented in the clinical trial agreement entered into with the sponsor in 
connection with this study. The investigator will maintain all records and documents pertaining to

least 2 years after FDA approval of the drug or at least 2 years after withdrawal of the IND under 
which this study was conducted, whichever is longer. In countries outside the US, records must be 
kept for the period of time required by the US FDA as a minimum, and record retention should 
also comply with the local country regulatory requirements, if longer retention times are required 
than in the US. Mandatory documentation includes copies of study protocols and amendments, 
financial disclosures, each FDA Form 1572, IRB/IEC approval letters, signed ICFs, drug 
accountability records, SAE forms transmitted to Astex Pharmaceuticals, subject files 
(source documentation) that substantiate entries in eCRFs, all relevant correspondence, and other 
documents pertaining to the conduct of the study. These records must remain in each subject’s 
study file and be available for verification by study monitors at any time. 
The investigator must inform the sponsor immediately if any documents are to be destroyed, 
transferred to a different facility, or transferred to a different owner. The sponsor should be given 
the option of collecting the documents before destruction. 
14.3 
Clinical Trial Insurance 
Clinical trial insurance has been undertaken according to the laws of the countries where the study 
will be conducted. An insurance certificate will be made available to the participating study centers 
upon request. 
14.4 
Study Administrative Letters and Protocol Amendments 
Astex Pharmaceuticals may issue Study Administrative Letters (1) to clarify certain statements or 
correct obvious errors/typos/inconsistencies in the study protocol, (2) to change the logistical or 
administrative aspects of the study, such as study personnel or contact information, or (3) to 
instruct investigators of DSRC safety decisions for immediate implementation for safety reasons 
(Section 4.4).  
For all other changes, Astex Pharmaceuticals will initiate any change to the protocol in a protocol 
amendment document. The study center will submit the amendment to the IRB/IEC together with, 
if applicable, a revised model ICF. If the change in any way increases the risk to the subject, 
information on the increased risk must be provided to subjects already actively participating in the 
study, and they must read, understand and sign any revised ICF confirming willingness to remain 
in the study. 
The investigator must obtain IRB/IEC approval before any protocol amendment can be 
implemented, except for administrative changes or changes necessary to eliminate an immediate 
risk to study subjects, as outlined above.

APPENDIX 4: 
SUMMARY OF CHANGES, AMENDMENT 1 
Rationale for Amendment 1: 
The following main changes have been made in Amendment 1 to facilitate arrival at an optimal 
dose earlier during the course of the trial, to reduce subject exposure to subtherapeutic doses, and 
to reduce the burden of assessments: 
• The study design has been modified from a 6+6 design to a 3+3 design to allow dose escalation 
if the PK data are consistent across the first 3 subjects in a given cohort and no DLTs are 
observed. At least another 3 subjects are to be enrolled in that cohort if the PK data are variable 
across the first 3 subjects or if 1 DLT occurs. The Data and Safety Review Committee will 
continue to conduct routine review of safety and PK data. 
• The requirement for hematology assessments has been eliminated on Days 2-5 in Course 1 and 
Course 2, as weekly hematology assessments are sufficient with decitabine therapy. 
Hematology will continue to be assessed on Days 1, 8, 15, and 22 of the first 2 courses. 
Summary of Changes: 
Typographical errors have been corrected and minor changes to the text that have been made for 
clarity are not summarized below. 
1) Header: IND number removed, as some study centers are ex-US. 
2) PROTOCOL TITLE PAGE: EudraCT Number added.

APPENDIX 5: 
SUMMARY OF CHANGES, AMENDMENT 2 
Rationale for Amendment 2: 
The following main changes have been made in Amendment 2: 
• Eliminate the Dose Confirmation – Open Label Expansion portion of the study. This portion 
may not add significant value, as PK, PD, efficacy, and safety will be adequately assessed in 
the randomized part of the Dose Confirmation Stage.  
• Obtain additional PK assessments on Days 2, 3, and 4 during the oral course of the Dose 
Confirmation Stage to enable estimation of PK over 5 dosing days. This is prompted by the 
expected variation in decitabine PK levels after Day 1 of oral dosing compared with Days 2-
5, based on data from the Dose Escalation Stage. 
• Clarify that PK and PD data reviews by the DSRC will take place during the Dose 
Confirmation Stage to ensure that the doses of the 2 components of ASTX727 result in the 
desired PK and PD comparability with IV decitabine.  
• Incorporate items from Administrative Letters 2, 3, and 4: 
o Administrative Letter #2: Clarification that initial supplies of E7727 and decitabine 
(capsules and IV) will be provided to Canadian study centers, as decitabine IV is not 
approved in Canada. Clarification that subjects should take the IMPs simultaneously and 
at the same time of day (± 1 hour) on each dosing day. 
o Administrative Letter #3: Clarification to allow intra-patient dose escalation to a higher 
dose established as safe in a subsequent cohort. Instructions added for situations in which 
a dose is missed. 
o Administrative Letter #4: Clarification that study centers may follow a schedule according 
to local standard practice after Course 7 for bone marrow aspirate or biopsy to verify 
continuous response. 
Summary of Changes: 
Typographical errors have been corrected and minor changes to the text that have been made for 
clarity are not summarized below.

APPENDIX 7: 
SUMMARY OF CHANGES, AMENDMENT 4 
Rationale for Amendment 4: 
Subjects ongoing in either the Dose Escalation Stage or Dose Confirmation Stage are allowed to 
transition from E7727 and oral decitabine capsules to the more convenient FDC tablet, which has 
the optimal dose combination of E7727 and decitabine that emulates the PK and PD of decitabine 
IV 20 mg/m2. The specified date of transition is based on the supply expiry date of the capsules. 
Clarification made in Administrative Letter #6 (dated 03 October 2016) has been incorporated: the 
8-hour time point for PK measurement on Day 1 of the IV decitabine course that erroneously 
appeared in the tables for “Pharmacokinetic Sampling Schedule for FDC Stage” in Appendix 2 
(Protocol Amendment 3) has been removed. 
The main changes in this amendment are listed below. (Typographical errors have been corrected.) 
PROTOCOL SYNOPSIS: 
Study Design and Investigational Plan: Information regarding transition from E7727 + 
decitabine capsules to the ASTX727 FDC tablet added for subjects ongoing in the Dose Escalation
