Acute Leukemia | Drug: PTX-200 Drug: Cytarabine | Phase 1 Phase 2 |
Study design: Phase I/II study The Phase I study is open-label with four increasing dose levels for up to four 21-day cycles. Safety and activity will be evaluated at the end of each cycle.
The Phase II study is open label with administration of the recommended phase dose of PTX-200 for up to four 21-day cycles. PTX-200 will be co-administered with cytarabine in both the Phase I and Phase II parts of the study.

Experimental: PTX-200 and cytarabine
PTX-200 administered intravenously over 1 hour Phase I: 4 dose levels: 25 to 55 mg/m2 (with reduction to 15 mg/m2 if needed. Phase II: maximum tolerated dose. given as a 1 hour infusion Cytarabine administered by continuous infusion at a dose of 400 mg/m2/day for 4 days. |
Drug: PTX-200
During the Phase I study, increasing dose levels of PTX-200 will be administered as an intravenous infusion on Day 1 each cycle. Triciribine will be infused over 1 hour on Day 1 of each 21 day cycle. The initial dose level will be 25 mg/m2 and each dose level will be increased by 10 mg/m2 to a maximum dose of 55 mg/m2
Other Name: Triciribine Phosphate Monohydrate Drug: Cytarabine Cytarabine will be given at a dose of 400 mg/m2 as a continuous IV infusion on days 3-7 of each cycle.
