Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion

  • • Diagnosis of AML (WHO classification definition of \>/= 20% blasts).
  • Patients aged 16 to 60 years are eligible. Patients must be chemo-naïve, i.e. not have received any prior chemotherapy (except hydrea) for AML. They could have received transfusion, hematopoietic growth factors or vitamins. Temporary measures such as pheresis or hydrea (0.5 to 5g daily or more for up to 3 days) are allowed.
  • The relative expression level of MDR1 mRNA (MDR1/GAPDH ratio using the quantitative real-time PCR) in pre-treated bone marrow samples should over 0.016 (cut-off point from our results of preliminary experiment data )
  • ECOG PS of 0, 1, 2 at screening.
  • Serum biochemical values with the following limits: - creatinine \</= 2.0 mg/dl - total bilirubin \</= 2.0 mg/dL, unless increase is due to hemolysis - transaminases (SG PT) \</= 3x ULN
  • Ability to understand and provide signed informed consent.

Exclusion

  • • Subjects with Acute Promyelocytic Leukemia (APL).
  • Presence of active systemic infection.
  • Any coexisting medical condition that in the judgment of the treating physician is likely to interfere with study procedures or results.
