Other Name: LBH589 |
- Define the maximum tolerated dose of Panobinostat (LBH589) that can be given with standard idarubicin and ara-C chemotherapy measured by safety and tolerability. [ Time Frame: 1 year ]
- To determine the number of patients who have safety and tolerability events [ Time Frame: 1 year ]
- To determine Panobinostat's pharmacokinetic parameters (study the amount of Panobinostat in a person's blood over time) following study treatments [ Time Frame: 1 year ]
- To determine the response of Panobinostat (LBH589) given with standard idarubicin and ara-C chemotherapy (as defined by Cheson 2003) [ Time Frame: 1 year ]
