Study Objectives / Outcomes

To evaluate the safety and tolerability of twice-daily oral doses of PKC412 when administered sequentially and concomitantly with standard induction daunorubicin and cytarabine therapy followed by high-dose consolidation with cytarabine in patients with newly diagnosed AML who are greater than 18 and < 60 years of age. The effect of PKC412 on the pharmacokinetics of daunorubicin and cytarabine will be examined and compared with and without PKC412 and between the first dose and at steady state following concomitant administration.

1. To evaluate the efficacy of twice-daily oral doses of PKC412 when administered sequentially and concomitantly with standard induction daunorubicin and cytarabine therapy followed by high-dose consolidation with cytarabine for patients with newly diagnosed AML who are greater than 18 and < 60 years of age, by measuring response rate, disease free survival and overall survival.

2. To investigate leukemia-specific mutations and compare gene expression changes in blood and bone marrow cells and in plasma for biomarkers development before and during twice-daily oral dosing of PKC412 when administered sequentially and concomitantly with standard induction daunorubicin and cytarabine therapy followed by high-dose consolidation with cytarabine for patient's with newly diagnosed AML who are greater than 18 and < 60 years of age.

3. To investigate the effects of genetic variation in drug metabolism genes, leukemia genes and drug target genes on patient response to twice-daily oral dosing of PKC412 when administered sequentially and concomitantly with standard induction daunorubicin and cytarabine therapy followed by high-dose consolidation with cytarabine for patient's with newly diagnosed AML who are greater than 18 and < 60 years of age.

Enrollment Eligibility
If you do not meet the enrollment eligibility, there may be other treatment options for you. Please Contact the Referral Office for more information.

Inclusion Criteria:1) Patients must be greater than 18 and < 60 years of age.

2) Patients must have newly diagnosed histologically documented AML.

3) Patients must have a Karnofsky Performance Status of > 70.

4) Patients must have the following laboratory values: AST and ALT <1.5 x Upper Limit of Normal (ULN), Serum Bilirubin <1.5 x ULN, Serum Creatinine <1.5 x ULN.

5) Patient must give written informed consent.

Exclusion Criteria:1) Patients with known impairment of gastrointestinal (GI) function or GI disease that may significantly alter the absorption of PKC412.

2) Female patients who are pregnant or breast-feeding or adults of reproductive potential not employing an effective method of birth control. Barrier contraceptives must be used throughout the study in both sexes. Women of childbearing potential must have a negative serum pregnancy test 48 hours prior to administration of PKC412.

3) Patients with any other known disease (except carcinoma in-situ) concurrent severe and/or uncontrolled medical condition (e.g. uncontrolled diabetes, cardiovascular disease including congestive heart failure, myocardial infarction within 6 months and poorly controlled hypertension, chronic renal disease, or active uncontrolled infection) which could compromise participation in the study.

4) Patients with a known confirmed diagnosis of HIV infection or active viral hepatitis.

5) Patients who have received any investigational agent within 30 days prior to Day 1.

6) Patients who have had any surgical procedure, excluding central venous catheter placement or other minor procedures (e.g. skin biopsy) within 14 days of Day 1.

7) Patients unwilling or unable to comply with the protocol.

8) Patients with an ejection fraction < 50% assessed by MUGA or ECHO scan within 14 days of Day 1.

9) Patients with known malignant disease of the central nervous system.

10) Patients with any pulmonary infiltrate known to be recent, and suspected to be of infectious origin.
