This phase I/II trial studies the side effects of glutaminase inhibitor CB-839 in combination with azacitidine in treating patients with myelodysplastic syndrome that has spread to other places in the body. Glutaminase inhibitor CB-839 and azacitidine may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth.

Who could take part
eligibility Criteria
Inclusion Criteria: * Signed, informed consent must be obtained prior to any study specific procedures * Subjects with a histologically confirmed diagnosis of MDS, including both MDS and refractory anemia with excess blasts (RAEB)-T (acute myeloid leukemia \[AML\] with 20-30% blasts and multilineage dysplasia by French-American-British \[FAB\] criteria) by World Health Organization (WHO) and chronic myelomonocytic leukemia (CMML) are eligible * Subjects with high-risk MDS (i.e. International Prognostic Scoring System \[IPSS\] Intermediate-2 or high-risk; or R-IPSS high or very-high risk). Patients with Intermediate-1 risk by IPSS or Intermediate risk by R-IPSS and with IDH1 or IDH2, or high-risk molecular features including TP53, ASXL1, EZH2, and/or RUNX1 mutations are also eligible * Subjects with prior hypomethylating agent therapy exposure may be eligible based on discussion with the principal investigator (PI) * Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status of 0-2 * Serum bilirubin =\< 2 x the upper limit of normal (ULN) (except for patients with Gilbert's disease) * Alanine aminotransferase (ALT) or aspartate aminotransferase (AST) =\< 3 x the laboratory ULN * Creatinine clearance \> 30 mL/min based on the Cockcroft-Gault equation * Able to understand and voluntarily sign a written informed consent, and willing and able to comply with protocol requirements * Resolution of all treatment-related, non-hematological toxicities, except alopecia, from any previous cancer therapy to \< grade 1 prior to the first dose of study treatment * Female patients of childbearing potential must have a negative serum or urine pregnancy test within 3 days of the first dose of study drug and agree to use dual methods of contraception during the study and for a minimum of 3 months following the last dose of study drug. Post-menopausal females (\>= 45 years old and without menses for \>= 1 year) and surgically sterilized females are exempt from these requirements. Male patients must use an effective barrier method of contraception during the study and for a minimum of 3 months following the last dose of study drug if sexually active with a female of childbearing potential Exclusion Criteria: * Any prior or coexisting medical condition that in the investigator's judgment will substantially increase the risk associated with the subject's participation in the study * Psychiatric disorders or altered mental status precluding understanding of the informed consent process and/or completion of the necessary study procedures * Active uncontrolled infection at study enrollment including known diagnosis of human immunodeficiency virus or chronic active hepatitis B or C infection * Clinically significant gastrointestinal conditions or disorders that may interfere with study drug absorption, including prior gastrectomy * Patients with known active central nervous system (CNS) disease, including leptomeningeal involvement * Impaired cardiac function, uncontrolled cardiac arrhythmia, or clinically significant cardiac disease including the following: a) New York Heart Association grade III or IV congestive heart failure, b) myocardial infarction within the last 6 months * Subjects with a corrected QT (QTc) \> 480 ms (QTc \> 510 msec for subjects with a bundle branch block at baseline) * Nursing or pregnant women * Subjects with known hypersensitivity to study drugs or their excipients

    Response is Complete Remission (CR) + Partial Remission (PR) + Marrow CR = Complete Remission (CR) is \</=5% myeloblasts with normal maturation of all cell lines\* Persistent dysplasia will be noted, Peripheral blood; hemoglobin\>/=11 g/dL, Platelets \>/= 100x10\^9/L ,Neutrophils \>/=1.0 x 10\^9/L, Blasts = 0%. Partial Remission (PR) is all CR criteria if abnormal before treatment except: Bone marrow blasts decreased by \</=50% over pretreatment but still \>5% Cellularity and morphology not relevant. Marrow CR is Bone marrow: \</= 5% meyloblasts and decreased by \>/= 50% over pretreatment† Peripheral blood: if HI responses, they will be noted in addition to marrow CR.

brief Summary
This phase I/II trial studies the side effects of glutaminase inhibitor CB-839 in combination with azacitidine in treating patients with myelodysplastic syndrome that has spread to other places in the body. Glutaminase inhibitor CB-839 and azacitidine may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth.
detailed Description
PRIMARY OBJECTIVES: I. To determine the safety, tolerability and clinical activity of glutaminase inhibitor CB-839 (CB-839) in combination with azacitidine (AZA) for patients with advanced myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS). SECONDARY OBJECTIVES: I. To explore the pharmacokinetics (PK) of CB-839 in combination with AZA. II. To explore the pharmacodynamics (PDn) of CB-839 in combination with AZA. III. To assess overall survival, event-free survival and duration of response of CB-839 in combination with AZA. OUTLINE: Patients receive glutaminase inhibitor CB-839 orally (PO) twice daily (BID) on days 1-28 and azacitidine subcutaneously (SC) or intravenously (IV) over 10-40 minutes on days 1-7. After completion of study treatment, patients are followed up at 28 days.
