This phase I trial tests the safety, side effects, and best dose of entrectinib when given with ASTX727 in treating patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) that has come back (relapsed) or that does not respond to treatment (refractory) and has a genetic change (mutation) in the TP53 gene. ASTX727 is a combination of cedazuridine and decitabine. Cedazuridine is in a class of medications called cytidine deaminase inhibitors. It prevents the breakdown of decitabine, making it more available in the body so that decitabine will have a greater effect. Decitabine is in a class of medications called hypomethylation agents. It works by helping the bone marrow produce normal blood cells and by killing abnormal cells in the bone marrow. Entrectinib is in a class of medications called kinase inhibitors. It works by blocking the action of the abnormal protein that signals cancer cells to multiply. This helps to stop or slow the spread of cancer cells. Giving ASTX727 and entrectinib together may kill more tumor cells in patients with AML.
PRIMARY OBJECTIVE: I. To determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of decitabine and cedazuridine (ASTX727) combined with entrectinib in relapsed/refractory (R/R) AML patients with TP53 mutations. SECONDARY OBJECTIVE: I. To assess overall safety and preliminary anti-AML activity of combined ASTX727 and entrectinib regimen. EXPLORATORY OBJECTIVE: I. To assess the potential pharmacodynamic changes observed with treatment consisting of entrectinib alone and in combination with decitabine. OUTLINE: This is a dose-escalation study of entrectinib. Patients receive entrectinib orally (PO) once daily (QD) on days 1-28 and ASTX727 PO QD on days 1-5. Treatment repeats every 28 days in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. After completion of study treatment, patients are followed up at 30 days and then every 3 months for up to 1 year.

Incidence of dose limiting toxicities (DLTs)
Toxicities will be assessed using the National Cancer Institute Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (NCI CTCAE version \[v\] 5.0).
Time frame: From first dose of study drug (day 1 of cycle 0) to end of cycle 1 (each cycle = 28 days)
Incidence of treatment-related grade >= 3 adverse events
Treatment-related grade \>= 3 adverse events will be tallied and summarized for the entire safety analysis set and within subgroups defined by each participant's assigned entrectinib dose level. AE tabulations will be constructed at both the participant-level and the event-level, with each toxicity summarized by grade (i.e., severity), duration, and system organ class. AE incidence will be reported using frequency counts and percentages with 95% exact binomial confidence intervals (CIs).
Time frame: From first dose of study drug (day 1 of cycle 0) up to 30 days post end of therapy (each cycle = 28 days)
Composite complete remission (CCR) rate
cCR is defined as the proportion of participants who attain a best response of Complete Remission with incomplete blood count recovery (CRi), Complete Remission (CR), or Complete Remission with Minimal Residual Disease (CRMRD) per 2017 European LeukemiaNet (ELN). Each response endpoint will be computed for both the safety analysis set and the efficacy analysis set, with a fraction's numerator equaling the number of participants achieving the requisite degree of response and the denominator comprising the number of participants in the respective analysis set.
Time frame: From first dose of study drug up to 2 weeks after last dose of study drug, start of new cancer therapy, or transplant, end of study follow up, death (whichever is first), assessed up to 6 months
Overall response rate (ORR)
Each response endpoint will be computed for both the safety analysis set and the efficacy analysis set, with a fraction's numerator equaling the number of participants achieving the requisite degree of response and the denominator comprising the number of participants in the respective analysis set.
Time frame: From first dose of study drug up to 2 weeks after last dose of study drug, start of new cancer therapy, or transplant (whichever is first), assessed up to 6 months
Clinical benefit rate (CBR)
Each response endpoint will be computed for both the safety analysis set and the efficacy analysis set, with a fraction's numerator equaling the number of participants achieving the requisite degree of response and the denominator comprising the number of participants in the respective analysis set.
Time frame: From first dose of study drug up to 2 weeks after last dose of study drug, start of new cancer therapy, or transplant (whichever is first), assessed up to 6 months
Proportion transplanted
The proportion of participants in the safety analysis set who transition to stem cell transplantation will be computed and reported as a percentage with a 95% exact CI.
Time frame: From first dose of study drug up to end of follow-up or death, assessed up to 6 months
Duration of response (DOR)
Will be estimated by the Kaplan-Meier method and reported with the median and rates at various landmark times (e.g., 3 months, 6 months, 1 year), each accompanied with a 95% complementary log-log CI.
Time frame: From first dose of study drug up to end of follow-up, loss of partial response (PR), progression or death (whichever is first), assessed up to 6 months
Event free survival (EFS)
Will be estimated by the Kaplan-Meier method and reported with the median and rates at various landmark times (e.g., 3 months, 6 months, 1 year), each accompanied with a 95% complementary log-log CI.
Time frame: From first dose of study drug up to end of follow-up, relapse, progression, start of new cancer therapy, study drug discontinuation due to toxicity or death (whichever is first), assessed up to 6 months
Overall survival (OS)
Will be estimated by the Kaplan-Meier method and reported with the median and rates at various landmark times (e.g., 3 months, 6 months, 1 year), each accompanied with a 95% complementary log-log CI.
Time frame: From first dose of study drug up to end of follow-up or death, assessed up to 6 months
