Criteria

Inclusion Criteria:

  • A histologically or pathologically confirmed diagnosis of AML based on WHO classification which is previously untreated by systemic therapy or is in first relapse after achieving a complete remission to initial induction, consolidation and/or maintenance therapy or MDS with IPSS scores of intermediate -2 or higher risk risk which has been previously treated with hypomethylating agents
  • Age 70 years or older for AML and 60 years or older for MDS
  • 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
  • All men and women of reproductive potential must agree to practice effective contraception for 4 weeks prior to study entry, during the entire study period and for one month after the study unless documentation of infertility exists
  • Ability to understand and willingness to sign the informed consent form

Exclusion Criteria:

  • 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 intravenous antibiotics for infections that are under control may be included in this study
  • Known to be HIV-positive
