possible exception of intrathecal (IT) therapy at the discretion of the Investigator

treatment must be ≤Grade 1.

AC220.

11. Serum potassium, magnesium, and calcium levels should be at least within
institutional normal limits.
12. Total serum bilirubin ≤1.5 × ULN
13. Serum aspartate transaminase (AST) and/or alanine transaminase (ALT) ≤2.5 × ULN
14. Females of childbearing potential must have a negative pregnancy test (urine β-hCG).
15. Females of childbearing potential and sexually mature males must agree to use a
medically accepted method of contraception throughout the study.
16. Written informed consent must be provided.

4. AML in relapse or refractory after 3 or more previous lines of chemotherapy (and/or
HSCT) treatment
5. AML or antecedent MDS secondary to prior chemotherapy
6. Persistent clinically significant non-hematological toxicity that is Grade >1 by NCI
CTCAE v4 from prior chemotherapy
7. Patients who have had HSCT and are within 100 days of transplant and/or are still
taking immunosuppressive drugs and/or have clinically significant graft-versus-host
disease requiring treatment and/or have >Grade 1 persistent non hematological
toxicity related to the transplant
8. Clinically active central nervous system (CNS) leukemia. Patients with CNS leukemia,
which is controlled, but who are still receiving IT therapy at study entry may be
considered eligible and continue receive IT therapy at the discretion of the
Investigator and with agreement of the Sponsor.
9. Patients who have previously received AC220

other such drugs that are considered absolutely essential for the care of the
patient.
14. Uncontrolled or significant cardiovascular disease
