This is an open-label study of CEP-701 in patients with refractory, relapsed, or poor risk AML expressing FLT-3 activating mutations. Patients who meet eligibility criteria will be enrolled at a dosage of 60 mg orally 2 times a day for 28 days (1 cycle). Upon completion of cycle 1, the dosage may be increased to 80mg 2 times a day or decreased to 40 mg 2 times a day, dependent upon response to 60 mg dosage.
The purpose of this study is to determine the response rate of patients with refractory, relapsed or poor risk AML expressing FLT-3 activating mutations, when administered CEP-701 at a dosage of 60 mg 2 times a day.
