Study & Design

- Interventional
- Study Design
- Not specified
- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method To establish the maximum tolerated dose of clofarabine (Clolar®) when used in combination with DaunoXome®. The maximum tolerated dose will be defined by the number of dose-limiting toxicities during cycle 1 of therapy.
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method 1. To characterise the safety and tolerability of the combination of clofarabine (Clolar®) and DaunoXome® including identification of the dose limiting toxicities <br>2. To document the overall response rate, including complete remission (CR), complete remission with incomplete blood count recovery (CRi) and partial remission (PR) in this population <br>3. To describe the durability fo response and follow up of these patients, including the number of patients that undergo stem-cell transplant after re-induction with clofarabine (Clolar®) and DaunoXome® <br><br>Measured as follows:<br>1. The nature, incidence and severity of the adverse events, collected throughout cycle 1 of therapy<br>2. Responses measured by bone marrow assessment between day 21 and 42 post first dose of clofarabine (Clolar®) and DaunoXome®
