Slide 9: Toxicities Profile
Emavusertib: Toxicities Profile • During the initial dose escalation phase, no DLT was observed in 200-400 mg BID dose levels. Additional patients were enrolled at 300 mg and 400 mg BID to further explore the safety profile. 200 mg BID 300 mg BID 400 mg BID 500 mg BID Grade 3+ Treatment-Related Adve

Slide 14: Summary
Summary • Emavusertib has a manageable safety profile • Demonstrates oral, single-agent, anti-cancer activity in heavily pretreated AML and HR-MDS patients with targeted mutations (U2AF1, SF3B1, or FLT3) • Potential candidate for use in combination therapy for all AML/HR-MDS patients, including pati
