ARM C: CP-4055 in combination with idarubicin

1. Patients with relapsed/refractory AML for which no standard therapies are anticipated to result in a durable response or who have failed potentially curative therapy, or who refuse or are considered unsuitable for standard therapy

   ARM A, B, C: CP-4055 as single agent and/or in combination with idarubicin

2. Patients must be 18 years of age or older
3. Patients must have ECOG performance status (PS) of 0 - 2. See Appendix 3

4. Women of child-bearing potential (i.e., women who are pre-menopausal or not surgically sterile) must have a negative serum or urine pregnancy test within 2 weeks prior to beginning treatment on this study. Nursing patients are excluded.

7. Patients must have the following clinical laboratory values:

   • Serum creatinine less or equal to 1.5 x the institutional upper limit of normal (ULN)
   • Total bilirubin less or equal to 1.5 x the ULN unless considered due to Gilbert's syndrome
   • Alanine aminotransferase (ALT) (SGPT), or aspartate aminotransferase (AST) (SGOT) less or equal to 2.5 x the ULN unless considered due to organ leukemic involvement

Phase II

2 - 7. Identical to inclusion criteria nos. 2 - 7 for phase I

Exclusion Criteria:

Phase I AND II

3. Pregnant and nursing patients are excluded
4. Uncontrolled intercurrent illness
5. Active heart disease
6. Patients receiving any other standard or investigational cytotoxic treatment for their hematologic malignancy other than a maximum of 5 g of hydroxyurea to a maximum of 5 days in cycle 1 of therapy
