Study Description
Brief Summary
To characterize the safety and tolerability of 1) MBG453 as a single agent or in combination with PDR001 or 2) PDR001 and/or MBG453 in combination with decitabine or azacitidine in AML and intermediate or high- risk MDS patients, and to identify recommended doses for future studies.

---|---|
Experimental: Decitabine and PDR001 Decitabine in combination with PDR001 |
Drug: Decitabine
Decitabine is a cytidine deoxynucleoside analogue that selectively inhibits DNA methyltransferases at low doses, resulting in gene promoter hypomethylation.
Other Names:
Drug: PDR001
PDR001 is a high-affinity, ligand-blocking, humanized IgG4 monoclonal antibody directed against PD-1 that blocks the binding of PD-L1 and PD-L2.

Experimental: Decitabine and MBG453 Decitabine in combination with MBG453 |
Drug: Decitabine
Decitabine is a cytidine deoxynucleoside analogue that selectively inhibits DNA methyltransferases at low doses, resulting in gene promoter hypomethylation.
Other Names:
Drug: MBG453
MBG453 is a high-affinity, humanized anti-TIM-3 IgG4 monoclonal antibody which blocks the binding of TIM-3 to phosphatidylserine (PtdSer).
