The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of two different doses of an investigational drug called quizartinib (also known as AC220) in patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) that has returned or continues to grow despite standard therapies.
Quizartinib is an investigational drug which works by blocking certain targets on cancer cells (enzymes called “receptor tyrosine kinases”). It appears to work best in patients with AML who have mutations in the FLT3-ITD gene, which are found in 20 to 30 percent of AML patients. It is an oral solution that is taken by mouth.
To be eligible for this study, patients must meet several criteria, including but not limited to the following:
