Summary

The goal of this clinical research study is to learn if omacetaxine given with cytarabine can help to control the disease in patients with AML or high-risk MDS. The safety of the study drugs will also be studied.

Prior therapy with hydroxyurea, biological or targeted therapy (e.g. flt3 inhibitors, other kinase inhibitors, azacitidine), or hematopoietic growth factors is allowed. A single or a two day dose of cytarabine (up to 3 g/m2) for emergency use is also allowed as prior therapy.
  • Age >/= 60 years.
  • Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status /= 160 systolic and >/= 110 diastolic not responsive to antihypertensive medication), diabetes mellitus, or congestive heart failure.
