Full Title
A Phase 1, Open-Label, Dose Escalation and Expanded Cohort, Continuous Intravenous Infusion, Multicenter Study of the Safety, Tolerability, Pharmacokinetics and Pharmacodynamics of EPZ-5676 in Treatment Relapsed/Refractory Patients with Leukemias Involving Translocations of the MLL Gene at 11q23 or Advanced Hematologic Malignancies
Purpose
EPZ-5676 is an investigational drug that blocks a protein involved in leukemia growth called DOT1L. It has shown promise against leukemia in laboratory studies.
In this study, researchers are evaluating the safety of EPZ-5676 in patients with leukemia that has returned or persists despite standard treatment and in patients with other advanced hematologic cancers. EPZ-5676 is given via a continuous intravenous infusion over 21 days.

- Patients may not be candidates for a stem cell transplant from a donor.
- At least two weeks must have passed since completion of prior therapy and entry into the study.
- Patients must be able to be ambulatory for more than half of their normal waking hours.
- Patients must be age 18 or older.
