  • Chronic stable angina or congestive heart failure controlled with medication
  • Other comorbidity or conditions that the Investigator judges as incompatible with intensive chemotherapy, which must be documented
  • ECOG=2

  • Women of reproductive potential must have a negative serum pregnancy test within 48 hours prior to the first day of any BST-236 treatment course
  • Women of reproductive potential must use two forms of effective birth control methods starting from at least 1 month prior to BST-236 first dose and until 3 months following the last BST-236 administration day (acceptable methods of birth control in this study include: surgical sterilization, intrauterine devices, oral contraceptives, contraceptive patch, long-acting injectable contraceptives, or double-barrier method condom or diaphragm with spermicide)
  • Male subjects must agree to refrain from unprotected sex and sperm donation from initial study drug administration until 3 months following the last dose of study drug
  • Subject must voluntarily sign and date an informed consent, approved by an Independent Ethics Committee (IEC)/Institutional Review Board (IRB), prior to the initiation of any screening or study-specific procedures
  • Patient must be able to adhere to the study visit schedule and other protocol requirements
  • Exclusion Criteria:
  • MDS or AML evolving from a pre-existing myeloproliferative neoplasm (MPN)
  • MDS/MPN including chronic myelomonocytic leukemia (CMML), atypical chronic myeloid leukemia (CML), juvenile myelomonocytic leukemia (JMML) and unclassifiable MDS/MPN
  • Acute promyelocytic leukemia

  • Previous allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) or solid organ transplantation
  • Participation in a previous clinical trial involving use of an investigational drug within 30 days or at least 5 half-lives of tested drug (whichever is shorter) of study day 1
  • Peripheral White Blood Cell (WBC) count \>30,000 /µL in the 48 hours prior to first BST-236 dose administration. Hydroxyurea administration or leukapheresis is permitted to meet this criterion
  • Administration of HMA, LDAC, or venetoclax within 14 days prior to Study Day 1
  • Previous treatment with cytarabine at a dose higher than 20 mg/ m2/d
  • Uncontrolled systemic fungal, bacterial, or viral infection (defined as ongoing signs/symptoms related to the infection without improvement despite appropriate antibiotics or other treatment)
  • Any medical or surgical condition, presence of laboratory abnormalities or psychiatric illness that may preclude safe and complete study participation based on the Investigator's judgment
  • Diagnosis of malignant disease (other than AML) within the previous 12 months (excluding basal cell carcinoma of the skin without complications, "in-situ" carcinoma, or other local malignancy excised or irradiated with a high probability of cure and not treated with systemic or topical chemotherapy)
  • Surgical procedure, excluding central venous catheter placement or other minor procedures (e.g. skin biopsy) in the 14 days prior to first BST-236 dose administration
