A Pilot Trial of Atorvastatin in p53-Mutant and p53 Wild-Type Malignancies

This is a window-of-opportunity trial to determine if atorvastatin given for 1 to 4 weeks at
a dose of 80 milligrams per day (mg/day) is sufficient to decrease the level of
conformational mutant tumor protein 53 (p53) in malignant diseases (solid tumor and relapsed
Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML)).

informed consent. Legally authorized representative is not allowed to sign consent for
participant.

- Participants with tumor protein 53 (TP53) immunohistochemistry (IHC)-positive tumors

null.

- Participants with histologic or cytologic confirmation of any malignant disease who
are planning and eligible to undergo surgical resection. For participants with Solid
Tumors Only

- Participants with previously treated acute myeloid leukemia (AML) are eligible if they
relapse and are in between two treatment regimens

- No concurrent or recent (within 30 days) use of systemic therapy including
chemotherapy, immunotherapy, hormonal therapy, cancer vaccine, or local therapy for
the cancer.

- Formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded (FFPE) tumor tissue deemed adequate for IHC analysis
and next generation sequencing (NGS) are required. Bone marrow aspirate tissue samples
from participants with AML are required.

- Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) Performance Status of 0 or 1

- Adequate organ and marrow function

- A negative urine or serum pregnancy test within 7 days before Day 1 dose of study
