subject's disease.

3. Has histologically or cytologically confirmed relapsed and/or refractory B-cell

available standard therapy, and for whom, in the opinion of the investigator,
experimental therapy with ETH-155008 may be beneficial.

In addition, the following disease-specific criteria outlined below must be met.

high-dose chemotherapy containing anti-CD20 monoclonal antibodies and autologous
stem cell transplantation with curative intent.

c. For MCL, previously treated with at least 1 prior line of systemic therapy
including an anti-CD20 antibody combination regimen, with no other approved
therapies that would be more appropriate in the investigator's judgement.

3. AML Note: at screening, archived or fresh tumor tissue will be assayed by
local sites and may need to be confirmed by a central lab later to evaluate
Rb expression. Rb IHC staining intensity will be deemed positive if a
staining level of 1+ or greater above background is identified.

(750/µL) or platelet count = 50x10 9 /L (50,000/µL).

5. For AML, WBC count, no upper limit at Screening, but must be <10 x109/L on
Day 1 prior to the first dose of study drug. Note: Subjects with excessive

intervals corrected using Fridericia's formula [QTcF]) =470 milliseconds based on
the average of triplicate assessments performed no more than 5 minutes apart (±3
minutes).

10. Life expectancy of at least 3 months.

on a highly effective method while receiving study drug and until 90 days after
last dose. Examples of highly effective methods of contraception are in Appendix
3, Contraceptive Guidance and Pregnancy.

13. In addition to the user-independent, highly effective method of contraception, a
male or female condom is required. Male condoms and female condoms should not be
used together (due to risk of failure with friction).

had a vasectomy must agree to use a barrier method of birth control, e.g., either
condom with or partner with occlusive cap (diaphragm or cervical/vault caps).

15. Men or women must agree not to donate sperm or eggs (ova, oocytes) for the
purposes of assisted reproduction during the study and for at least 3 months
after the last study drug administration.
