• Unequivocal histological diagnosis of T-ALL, BCP-ALL or T-NHL (World Health Organisation [WHO] classification) at initial diagnosis
• Relapse (³25% marrow blasts) or failure to respond after at least one standard regimen for their disease for subjects with a T-cell malignancy who are ineligible for other therapy of greater curative potential, or failure to respond after at least two standard regimens for subjects with a B-cell precursor malignancy
• KPS or LPS (as appropriate for subject's age) scores ³60
• Anticipated life expectancy of at least 6 weeks
• Adequate kidney (creatinine levels ≤ 2.0 times upper limit of normal) and liver function tests (aspartate aminotransferase [AST] and/or alanine aminotransferase [ALT] ≤3 times upper limit of normal and total bilirubin ≤5 times upper limit of normal)
• Signed ICF and assent if appropriate according to local laws and regulations prior to start of any study specific procedures.

Exclusion criteria:

• Females who are pregnant (positive β-hCG test) or lactating
• Subjects with a history of HIV and/or HTLV-1

• Prior treatment with any antileukemic agent, chemotherapy or leukophoresis treatment within 7 days (within 4-5 days for 6-mercaptopurine (MP) and within 2 days for low-dose methotrexate) prior to study entry
• Lack of full recovery from adverse drug reactions due to prior therapy, independent of when that therapy was given
• Concurrent treatment with other anticancer agents (CNS prophylaxis e.g. intrathecal methotrexate and corticosteroid use will not be excluded)
• Subjects who have chronic gastrointestinal disease or conditions that may hamper compliance and/or absorption of the product; however, study drug administration via nasogastric or gastrostomy tube is allowed
• Any history of hypersensitivity or intolerance to any component of the study medication.
• Subjects who have received an investigational medicinal product within 30 days of study entry (defined as the start of the Screening Period).
• Current participation in another clinical trial is not permitted unless the sole purpose of the trial is for long term follow up/survival data.
