  6. Life expectancy of at least 3 months

Exclusion Criteria:

  1. Uncontrolled intercurrent illness or psychiatric illness/social situations that would limit compliance with study requirements.
  2. Active heart disease
  3. Receiving any other standard treatment for their hematologic malignancy.
  4. Receiving strong CYP3A4 inhibitors/ inducers.

Outcomes

Primary Outcome Measures

The incidence of adverse events in patients treated with EPZ-5676
Evaluation of adverse events, vital signs, physical examination, 12-lead ECG, and laboratory assessments
Anti-leukemic activity of EPZ-5676 in patients with acute leukemia harboring a MLL-rearrangement
Evaluation of response by standard criteria for AML or ALL
Effects of EPZ-5676 on histone H3K79 methylation in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC).

5. Study Description

Brief Summary
The purpose of this study is to determine the safe dose of EPZ-5676, to evaluate the safety of EPZ-5676 in patients with advanced hematologic malignancies, and to conduct a preliminary assessment of the anti-leukemia activity of EPZ-5676 in patients with acute leukemias bearing rearrangements of the MLL gene. Currently this study is in the MLL-r restricted/expansion phase and is only enrolling patients with rearrangements involving the MLL gene, including 11q23 or partial tandem duplications (PTD).
Detailed Description
A subset of patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) and acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) harbor rearrangements of the MLL gene, which are detected either by cytogenetic or fluorescent in situ hybridization evaluation at the time of diagnosis. A protein called DOT1L plays an important role in the malignant process in these leukemias. EPZ-5676 is a molecule that blocks the activity of DOT1L, and is therefore being evaluated in the treatment of patients with MLL-rearranged leukemias. The dose escalation portion has been completed. Currently this study is in the expansion phase and patients with MLL-r and MLL-PTD will receive EPZ-5676 as a 28-day continuous intravenous infusion (CIV).
