age or older and in MDS patients who are at least 60 years of age.

| Criteria: |
|
Inclusion Criteria:
- A histologically or pathologically confirmed diagnosis of AML based on WHO

risk which has been previously treated with hypomethylating agents

- Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status 0-2
- Adequate renal function defined as serum creatinine equal to or less than 1.5 x upper
limit of normal (ULN)
- Adequate liver function defined as total bilirubin or direct bilirubin equal to or
less than 1.5 x ULN; alanine aminotransferase (ALT or SGPT) equal to or less than 2.5
x ULN (5 x ULN if tumor has affected the liver)
- Life expectancy reasonably adequate for evaluating the treatment effect
- Patient must be able to swallow capsules
- Patients must be at least 2 weeks from prior systemic therapy, radiation therapy,
major surgery, or other investigational therapy, and have recovered from clinically
significant toxicities of these prior treatments

- AML is of the sub-type of acute promyelocytic leukemia
- Having received more than one induction systemic therapy for AML or having received a
standard dose or high dose ara-C containing regimen for MDS
- Patients with known central nervous system (CNS) involvement by leukemia
- Uncontrolled intercurrent illness including, but not limited to ongoing or active
infection, active cancer(s) other than AML, symptomatic congestive heart failure,
unstable angina pectoris, cardiac arrhythmia, or psychiatric illness/social
situations that would limit compliance with study requirements. Patients receiving
