Conditions

Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia, Acute Myelogenous Leukemia, Myelodysplastic Syndrome

Brief summary

An open-label, multicenter, phase 1, dose escalation study of MLN4924 in adult patients with acute myelogenous leukemia (AML), high-grade myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS). The patient population will consist of adults previously diagnosed with AML including high-grade MDS for which standard curative, life-prolonging treatment does not exist or is no longer effective.

Interventions

MLN4924 intravenous (IV) on a 21-day cycle on one of the following schedules: * Days 1, 3, and 5, followed by a rest period of 16 days (Schedule A) * Days 1, 4, 8, and 11, followed by a rest period of 10 days (Schedule B) * Continuous weekly dosing on Days 1, 8, and 15 (Schedule C) * Days 1, 4, 11, 15 for Cycle 1 only; Days 1, 4, 8, 11 for all subsequent cycles (Schedule D) * Dosing on Days 1, 3, and 5 in patients with high-grade MDS or AML (Schedule E)

DRUGAzacitidine

Azacitidine will be administered (IV or subcutaneous (SC)) on Days 8 to 12 and Days 15 and 16 in Cycle 1, and on Days 1 to 5 and Days 8 to 9 (Schedule D)
