Demographic

• Males and females ≥ 18 years old.

• Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) Performance Status of ≤ 2.

Laboratory

• Peripheral blast count must be ≤ 30,000 on the first day of study drug administration. Leukopheresis and hydrea are acceptable measures of leuko-reduction prior to beginning the study drug.

• Adequate hepatic function with ALT/SGPT ≤ 2.5 x upper limit of normal (ULN) or ≤ 5.0 x ULN if the transaminase elevation is due to leukemic involvement. Serum bilirubin ≤ 2.0 x ULN.

• Adequate renal function with calculated creatinine clearance of ≥ 15 mL/min (calculated using the Cockcroft and Gault formula) or measured creatinine clearance ≥ 15 mL/min from 24 hour urine collection.

• Uric acid, if elevated, must be corrected to within laboratory normal range prior to dosing.

Ethical / Other

• Ability to provide written informed consent obtained prior to participation in the study and any related procedures being performed.

• Women of childbearing age must have a negative serum pregnancy test within 7 days prior to initiating therapy and be willing to not become pregnant to by using effective contraception while undergoing treatment and for at least 3 months afterwards.

• Receiving any other investigational agents within 14 days of first dose of study drug.

• Had cytotoxic chemotherapy within 14 days of first dose of study drug. Leukopheresis and hydrea are allowed as specified per protocol

• Had allogeneic stem cell transplantation within 100 days of first dose of study drug. Patients with a history of graft-versus-host disease on a stable dose of immunosuppression and who are otherwise medically fit are eligible for the trial. Patients with active graft-versus host disease are excluded.

• Had radiotherapy within 14 days prior to study enrollment.
