Usually NOT eligible if any of the following apply:

  • Exclusion Criteria: Patients meeting any of the following criteria are ineligible for study entry:
  • Uncontrolled intercurrent illness including, but not limited to, symptomatic congestive heart failure, unstable angina pectoris, cardiac arrhythmias not well controlled with medication, myocardial infarction within the previous 6 months before registration, or psychiatric illness/social situations that would limit compliance with study requirements.
  • Patients may not be receiving any other concurrent investigational agents during study treatment and not for at least within one week prior to starting study treatment.
  • Since the teratogenic potential of this combination is currently unknown, females who are pregnant or lactating are excluded.
  • History of any other malignancies within the preceding 12 months before registration with the exception of in-situ cancer, non-muscle invasive bladder cancer, non-metastatic prostate cancer, basal or squamous cell skin cancer.
  • Life-threatening illnesses other than AML, uncontrolled medical conditions or organ system dysfunction that, in the Investigator's opinion, could compromise the patient's safety or put the study outcomes at risk.
  • Evidence of isolated extramedullary disease.
  • Acute Promyelocytic Leukemia.
  • AML with active central nervous system (CNS) involvement (as determined by study investigator).
  • Severe infection requiring treatment that would interfere with study drug(s) or study participation in the opinion of the treating investigator.
  • Past Hematopoietic stem cell transplant (HSCT) with graft vs host disease, immunosuppression other than low dose prednisone (10 mg) (or equivalent does of another immunosuppressant) within the 4 weeks before registration.
  • All adverse reactions from prior therapy must have recovered to Grade ≤ 1 or acceptable baseline per treating investigator.
