Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion
- Males and females, age 1 to16 years, inclusive
- Females of childbearing potential must have a negative serum beta human chorionic gonadotropin (β-hCG) at Visit 1 (Screening) and a negative urine pregnancy test prior to starting study drugs (Visit 2). Female subjects of childbearing potential must agree to be abstinent or to use a highly effective method of contraception (eg, condom + spermicide, condom + diaphragm with spermicide, intrauterine devise (IUD), or have a vasectomised partner) for at least one menstrual cycle prior to starting study drug(s) and throughout the longer of either Core Study period or 30 days after the last dose of study drug. Those females using hormonal contraceptives must also be using an additional approved method of contraception (as described previously).
- Sexually mature male patients who are not abstinent or have not undergone a successful vasectomy, who are partners of women of childbearing potential must use, or their partners must use a highly effective method of contraception (eg, condom + spermicide, condom + diaphragm with spermicide, IUD) starting for at least one menstrual cycle prior to starting study drug(s) and throughout the entire study period and for 30 days (longer if appropriate) after the last dose of study drug. Those with partners using hormonal contraceptives must also be using an additional approved method of contraception (as described previously).
- Diagnosis of acute myelogenous leukemia (AML)(bone marrow or peripheral blood blasts ≥ 20%)
- Adequate cardiac function as defined by an echocardiogram or multiple gated acquisition (MUGA) scan demonstrating an ejection fraction within normal limits
- Are willing and able to comply with all aspects of the protocol
- Provide written informed consent from subject's guardian or legally authorized representative and child assent (if applicable)
Exclusion

- White blood cell (WBC) count \> 40,000/mm3
- Serum creatinine \> 2.5 mg/dL
- Alanine aminotransferase (ALT) \> 5 x upper limit of normal (ULN) and/or total bilirubin \> 3 x ULN
- Prior chemotherapy (other than hydroxyurea) or radiation therapy for AML
- Known to be human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) positive
- Any history of or concomitant medical condition that, in the opinion of the Investigator, would compromise the subject's ability to safely complete the study
- The Investigator believes the subject to be medically unfit to receive the study drug or unsuitable for any other reason.
