Brief Summary
Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.
* To assess the safety and tolerability of PEP07 administered orally as a single dose and at escalating dose levels, and, to determine the dose-limiting toxicity (DLT) of study treatment in patients with Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML) and Mantle Cell Lymphoma (MCL).
* To determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) and/or recommended Phase 2 dose (RP2D) of PEP07 monotherapy.
Participants will receive PEP07 administered orally once daily (QD) for 2 consecutive days and 5 days off, every week for 4 weeks until disease progression, intolerable toxicity, confirmed pregnancy, death, consent withdrawal, HSCT or other anti-cancer treatment is required, or the Sponsor ends the study, whichever occurs first.

Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
The study will utilize an Accelerated Titration Design in the lower dose levels followed by a traditional 3+3 dose escalation design at higher dose levels until RP2D is determined. The starting dose will be 40 mg.
All potential study candidates will provide informed consent and will undergo screening procedures before participating in the study. After a screening period of up to 28 days, qualified patients will be enrolled to receive their assigned dose regimen of PEP07 monotherapy.

Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
PEP07 Monotherapy (Arm A)
The dose finding of PEP07 monotherapy consists of an accelerated dose escalation followed by a standard "3+3" dose escalation. Accelerated titration will continue until 1 patient experiences a DLT, or ≥ grade 2 AE related to PEP07 (except for hematologic toxicities) at any dose level, after which, additional 2 patients will be enrolled in the same cohort, and the study will be switched to a 3+3 scheme.
Expansion cohorts with 12 patients will be opened for Arm A at the RP2D once efficacy signal is observed at this level.
PEP07
PEP07 is a selective Chk1 inhibitor maleate drug which is supplied as a hard gelatin capsule. PEP07 will be provided as 20 mg and 150 mg strength capsules to be administrated orally. Patients allocated to different dose levels of PEP07 monotherapy will receive either 20 mg or 150 mg oral capsules for 2 consecutive days followed by 5 days treatment off (2-on/5-off) schedule every week, 4 weeks as a treatment cycle.

Eligibility Criteria
Check the participation requirements, including inclusion and exclusion rules, age limits, and whether healthy volunteers are accepted.
Inclusion Criteria
2. Must have histological or cytological confirmation advanced hematologic malignancy including:
* Relapsed or refractory AML (by the 5th edition of World Health Organization \[WHO\] classification of Hematolymphoid tumors)
* OR Relapsed or refractory MCL and have received at least two prior lines of treatment, including chemoimmunotherapy and BTKi and at least 1 measurable site of disease according to Revised Response Criteria for Malignant Lymphoma.
3. Must have Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) Performance score of 0 to 2.
4. Must have adequate renal function as demonstrated by a calculated creatinine clearance ≥ 50 mL/min; determined via urine collection for 24-hour creatinine clearance or by the Cockcroft Gault formula.
5. Must have adequate liver function as demonstrated by:
* aspartate aminotransferase (AST) ≤ 2.5 × ULN
* alanine aminotransferase (ALT) ≤ 2.5 × ULN
* bilirubin ≤ 1.5 × ULN (unless considered due to leukemic organ involvement. Patients with Gilbert's Syndrome may have had a bilirubin \> 1.5 × ULN per discussion between the PI or designee and sponsor)
6. Left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) ≥ 50% measured by multiple-gated acquisition (MUGA) or echocardiogram.
7. Previous AEs have been improved to baseline or Grade ≤ 1 NCI CTCAE v5.0.
8. Female patients with reproductive potential must have a negative serum pregnancy test 7 days prior to the administration of PEP07.
9. Patients will be required to have a Covid negative test either via reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction (RTPCR) or a rapid antigen test (RAT) test on Day -7/Day 1.
10. Provision of signed and dated informed consent form.
Exclusion Criteria
2. Females of childbearing potential and males whose partners are of childbearing potential who do not agree to the use of 2 forms of highly effective contraception during the treatment period and for 120 days after the last dose of PEP07.
3. Patients who have received anti-cancer therapy including chemotherapy, radiotherapy, hormonal, or any investigational therapy within 14 days or 5 half-lives (whichever is shorter), or immunotherapy within 30 days prior to the first dose of PEP07.

If a patient is HBsAg (+) then HBV DNA needs to be tested. If a patient is anti-HCV Ab (+) then the patient needs to be followed for HCV RNA (-) to be enrolled.
7. Uncontrolled systemic infection /or requiring isolation.

12. Patients who have undergone any major surgery within 3 weeks prior to first study drug administration after enrollment.
13. Patients with known active central nervous system (CNS) or leptomeningeal involvement.
14.
