• MCL:
• c) R/R after autologous HCT; or d) Patients not eligible for autologous HCT must have failed acalabrutinib or be R/R after ≥2 lines of therapy including at least 1 of the following: a Bruton's tyrosine kinase (BTK) inhibitor, bortezomib, or lenalidomide; or for whom no standard therapy is available;
• Primary mediastinal large B-cell lymphoma: R/R after ≥1 line of therapy and are not eligible for or have recurred after autologous HCT or CAR T cell therapy, or for whom no standard therapy is available;
• Primary DLBCL of the CNS: R/R after ≥1 line of therapy including methotrexate (unless intolerant to methotrexate) and are not eligible for or have recurred after autologous HCT or CAR T cell therapy, or for whom no standard therapy is available;
• Burkitt or Burkitt-like lymphoma/leukemia: R/R after ≥1 line of therapy including methotrexate (unless intolerant to methotrexate) and are not eligible for or have recurred after autologous HCT or CAR T cell therapy, or for whom no standard therapy is available;
• CLL/SLL: patients who have active disease requiring treatment and who are deemed at high-risk for disease progression by the investigator or have high risk features per the iwCLL criteria, such as primary resistance to first-line chemo(immune)therapy, or progression of disease <3 years after fludarabine-based chemo(immune)therapy, or leukemia cells with del(17p)/TP53 mutation, must be:
• d) R/R after autologous or allogeneic HCT; or e) Patients not eligible for HCT; or f) R/R after ≥2 lines of therapy including at least 1 of the following: a BTK inhibitor, venetoclax, idelalisib, or duvelisib, or for whom no standard therapy is available;
• Acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL):
• c) R/R after allogeneic HCT and for whom no standard therapy is available; or d) Patients not eligible for allogeneic HCT must be R/R according to the following disease specific specifications:
• B-cell lymphoblastic leukemia/lymphoma: ≥2 lines of therapy including approved CAR T cell therapies, inotuzumab ozogamicin, or blinatumomab, or for whom no standard therapy is available;
• T-cell lymphoblastic leukemia/lymphoma: ≥2 lines of therapy including nelarabine, or for whom no standard therapy is available;

You may not qualify if…

• Patients who meet any of the following criteria will be excluded from participation in the study for Phase 2:
• History of another malignancy, except for the following:
• Adequately treated local basal cell or squamous cell carcinoma of the skin;
• Adequately treated carcinoma in situ without evidence of disease;
• Adequately treated papillary, noninvasive bladder cancer; or
• Other cancer that has been in complete remission for ≥2 years. Patients with low-grade prostate cancer, on active surveillance, and not expected to clinically progress over 2 years are allowed;
• Significant cardiovascular disease (e.g., myocardial infarction, arterial thromboembolism, cerebrovascular thromboembolism) within 3 months prior to the start of AVM0703 administration, angina requiring therapy, symptomatic peripheral vascular disease, New York Heart Association Class III or IV congestive heart failure, left ventricular ejection fraction <30%, left ventricular fractional shortening <20%, or uncontrolled ≥Grade 3 hypertension (diastolic blood pressure >100 mmHg or systolic blood pressure >150 mmHg) despite antihypertensive therapy for patients ≥18 years of age, or uncontrolled stage 2 hypertension (diastolic blood pressure >90 mmHg or systolic blood pressure >140 mmHg) despite antihypertensive therapy for patients ≥12 years of age;
• Significant screening electrocardiogram (ECG) abnormalities, including unstable cardiac arrhythmia requiring medication, atrial fibrillation/flutter, second degree atrioventricular (AV) block type 2, third-degree AV block, ≥Grade 2 bradycardia, or heart rate corrected QT interval using Fridericia's formula >480 msec;
• Known gastric or duodenal ulcer;
• Uncontrolled type 1 or type 2 diabetes;
• Known hypersensitivity or allergy to the study drug or any of its excipients;
• Untreated ongoing bacterial, fungal, or viral infection (including upper respiratory tract infections) at the start of AVM0703 administration, including the following:
