Criteria

Inclusion Criteria for All Patients

Age ≥ 12 years and weight ≥ 40 kg.
Karnofsky ≥ 70% for over ≥ 16 years old and Lansky ≥ 70% for under 16 years old, equivalent to Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status Grade 0 or 1.
Life expectancy of greater than 4 months in investigator's opinion.
Willingness to provide tumor biopsies during screening and while on treatment. Optional for patients < 18 years of age and patients enrolled in the Ewing sarcoma combination treatment arm. Biopsies can be exempt if deemed by the investigator that the biopsy is not medically feasible for the patient or the patient is unfit for the procedure.

Normal organ and marrow function as defined below:

absolute neutrophil count (ANC) ≥ 1.5 x 109/L
platelets ≥ 100 x 109/L; no transfusion 7 days prior to labs
total bilirubin ≤ 1.5 x upper limit of normal (ULN) or, in patients with Gilbert syndrome, total bilirubin > 1.5 x ULN as long as direct bilirubin is normal
AST and ALT ≤ 3 x ULN
creatinine ≤ 1.5 x ULN OR creatinine clearance ≥ 60 mL/min/1.73 m2 for patients with creatinine levels above normal
Ability to understand and the willingness to sign a written informed consent document.

Additional Inclusion Criteria for Ewing Sarcoma Combination Treatment Cohort

Patients must have a histologic confirmed diagnosis of Ewing sarcoma with a known EWSR1 translocation through local assessment that is relapsed or refractory and must have received at least one prior course of therapy for Ewing sarcoma. For the purposes of this study, refractory disease is defined as metastatic or unresectable disease that has either progressed or is stable at completion of planned therapy.
Patients must have had no more than 2 lines/courses of systemic treatment for Ewing sarcoma
No prior therapy with the combination regimen of topotecan and cyclophosphamide. Prior cyclophosphamide is allowed if not combined with topotecan.
Patients must have measurable disease by computed tomography (CT) or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) based on Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) version 1.1

Additional Inclusion Criteria for Single Agent Myxoid Liposarcoma Cohort and for Single Agent FET-Translocated Sarcomas

Patients must have a histologic confirmed diagnosis of one of the following sarcomas that share similar known chromosomal translocations to Ewing sarcoma (per local assessment) and are relapsed or refractory and not amenable to surgery at time of enrollment.
Patients must have received at least one prior course of systemic therapy but no more than 3 courses of systemic therapy for sarcoma.
Patients must have measurable disease by computed tomography (CT) or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) based on Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) version 1.1

Exclusion Criteria for All Patients

Patients who have not recovered to Grade 1 or baseline from adverse events related to prior therapy excluding lymphopenia, alopecia, peripheral neuropathy and ototoxicity, which are only exclusionary if original AE was ≥ CTCAE Grade 3.
Patients receiving therapy with other anti-neoplastic or experimental agents.
Prior therapy with LSD1 targeted agents including monoamine oxidases for cancer therapy.
Prior oral tyrosine kinase inhibitors (i.e. sorafenib, pazopanib, regorafenib, cabozantanib) within 14 days of Cycle 1 Day 1.
Other, prior systemic anti-cancer treatment (chemotherapy or biologic therapy [i.e. monoclonal antibodies]) within 21 days prior to Cycle 1 Day 1. For agents that have known adverse events occurring beyond 21 days after administration, this period must be extended beyond the time during which adverse events are known to occur. The duration of this interval must be discussed with the Medical Monitor.
Prior therapy with immunotherapy such as a checkpoint inhibitor, cellular therapy or vaccine therapy within 28 days prior to Cycle 1 Day 1. Patients must have recovered from any immune-related adverse events to Grade 1 or baseline and require ≤ 10 mg of prednisone equivalent daily. Patients with immune-related hypothyroidism and/or hypoadrenalism may enroll while on thyroid or hydrocortisone replacement therapy, respectively.
Prior small port palliative radiotherapy within 14 days of Cycle 1 Day 1 or within 42 days of Cycle 1 Day 1 from definitive local control radiation (any dose greater than 50 Gy, within 42 days of Cycle 1 Day 1).
Prior therapy with long acting myeloid growth factor within 14 days of Cycle 1 Day 1 or within 7 days of Cycle 1 Day 1 from a short acting myeloid growth factor.
Evidence of graft versus host disease or prior allo- or auto-bone marrow transplant or stem cell infusion within 84 days from Cycle 1 Day 1 or receiving immunosuppressants following a stem cell procedure.
Participation in a prior investigational study within 30 days prior to Cycle 1 Day 1 or within 5 half-lives of the investigational product, whichever is longer.
Progressive or symptomatic brain metastases; patients with brain metastases may be included in this trial as long as the brain metastases have received definitive treatment and are stable (i.e., no evidence of progression). The brain metastases must be stable for a minimum of 6 weeks prior to Cycle 1 Day 1.

Currently receiving any of the following substances and cannot be discontinued 14 days or 5 half-lives for CYP inhibitors (whichever is shorter) prior to Cycle 1 Day 1:

moderate or strong inhibitors or inducers of major CYP isoenzymes, including grapefruit, grapefruit hybrids, pomelos, star fruit, and Seville oranges
moderate or strong inhibitors or inducers of major drug transporters
substrates of CYP3A4/5 with a narrow therapeutic index

Uncontrolled concurrent illness including, but not limited to:

ongoing or active infection
transfusion dependent thrombocytopenia or anemia
psychiatric illness/social situations that would limit compliance with study requirements; discuss with Medical Monitor if there are any questions

Clinically significant, uncontrolled heart disease and/or cardiac repolarization abnormality, including any of the following:

symptomatic congestive heart failure
left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) ≤ 50%
unstable angina pectoris or cardiac arrhythmia
baseline QTc (Fridericia) ≥ 450 milliseconds
long QT syndrome or family history of idiopathic sudden death or congenital long QT syndrome
Any major surgery within 21 days prior to Cycle 1 Day 1. Major surgery is defined as any significantly invasive procedure into a major body cavity (abdomen, cranium etc.) and/or surgery requiring extensive recuperation (joint replacement). Please discuss with Medical Monitor if there are any questions.
Pregnant and breastfeeding women are excluded from this study. The effects of seclidemstat on the developing human fetus have the potential for teratogenic or abortifacient effects.
Men treated or enrolled on this protocol must also agree to use adequate contraception prior to the study, for the duration of study participation, and 4 months after completion of seclidemstat administration.
HIV-positive patients on combination antiretroviral therapy are ineligible because of the potential for pharmacokinetic interactions with seclidemstat. In addition, these patients are at increased risk of lethal infections when treated with marrow-suppressive therapy.
