Description/
Intervention:
The goal of this clinical research study is to find the highest tolerable dose
of AC220 that can be given to patients with refractory AML or MDS. Researchers
want to learn about the safety of this drug as well as whether it can help to
control the disease.

Researchers will also look at the pharmacokinetics of AC220. PK testing is done
to learn how a drug acts in the body over time, including how it is absorbed
into the body, how it moves throughout the body, and how the body gets rid of
it.
.
Study Objectives / Outcomes
Primary objectives:

Determine the safety and tolerability, including dose-limiting toxicity (DLT), of oral AC220 when administered daily to patients with relapsed or treatment-refractory acute myeloid leukemia (AML); and

    Determine the pharmacokinetic (PK) parameters of AC220 under the conditions of this study.
      Secondary objective:

      Determine the pharmacodynamic (PD) parameters of orally administered AC220 under the conditions of this study.

      Describe any preliminary evidence of anti-leukemic activity observed with AC220.

      Inclusion Criteria:1) Males and females age greater than or equal to 18 years

      2) Histopathologically documented primary or secondary AML, as defined by WHO criteria confirmed by pathology review at treating institution, meeting at least one of the following: a. Refractory to at least 1 cycle of induction chemotherapy, or b. Relapsed after at least 1 cycle of induction chemotherapy, or c. Patient is not, according to the clinical judgment of the Principal Investigator, a candidate for induction chemotherapy due to age, comorbidity, or other factors

      3) Patients for whom no standard therapies are anticipated to result in a durable remission, or who have failed potentially curative therapy, or who refuse standard therapy or patients for whom there is no known therapy of documented treatment benefit;

      4) Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status of 0–3

      5) In the absence of rapidly progressing disease, the interval from prior treatment to time of AC220 administration should be at least 2 weeks for cytotoxic agents (other than hydroxyurea), or at least 5 half-lives for noncytotoxic agents

      6) Persistent chronic clinically significant toxicities from prior chemotherapy or surgery must be less than Grade 2

      7) Serum creatinine less than or equal to 2.0 mg/dL

      8) Total serum bilirubin less than or equal to 1.5 × ULN unless considered due to Gilbert's syndrome or leukemic organ involvement

      9) Serum AST or ALT less than or equal to 3.0 × ULN unless considered due to leukemic organ involvement

      10) Females of childbearing potential must have a negative pregnancy test (urine beta-hCG)

      11) Females of childbearing potential and sexually mature males must agree to use a medically accepted method of contraception throughout the study

      12) Written informed consent must be provided. Patients may sign the consent form earlier than 7 days, but not more than 28 days, prior to Day 1 (Visit 2)

      13) Patients must be suitable for oral administration of study drug

      Exclusion Criteria:1) Histologic diagnosis of acute promyelocytic leukemia

      2) Clinically active central nervous system leukemia

      3) Persistent clinically significant toxicity from prior chemotherapy that is Grade 2 or higher by the National Cancer Institute Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE v3)

      4) Bone marrow transplant within 2 months prior to study

      5) Active, uncontrolled infection

      6) Major surgery within 4 weeks prior to study

      7) Radiation therapy within 4 weeks prior to, or concurrent with, study

      8) Patients with congestive heart failure NYHA class 3 or 4, or patients with history of congestive heart failure NYHA class 3 or 4 in the past, unless a screening echocardiogram performed within 3 months prior to study entry results in a left ventricular ejection fraction that is >/= 45%.

      9) Human immunodeficiency virus positivity

      10) Active hepatitis B or C or other active liver disease

      11) Women who are pregnant, lactating, or unwilling to use contraception if of childbearing potential

      12) Medical condition, serious intercurrent illness, or other extenuating circumstance that, in the judgment of the Principal Investigator, could jeopardize patient safety or interfere with the objectives of the study
