9.Females must agree to abstain from breastfeeding during study participation and for at least 28 days after study drug discontinuation
10.All male participants must practice complete abstinence or agree to use a condom during sexual contact with a pregnant female or a female of childbearing potential while participating in the study, during dose interruptions and for at least 28 days following study drug discontinuation, even if he has undergone a successful vasectomy
11.Subjects must agree not to donate blood, semen or sperm while on study treatment and for 28 days after treatment discontinuation
12.Provision of written informed consent
1.History of major non-compliance to medication
2.Post allogeneic-stem cell transplant patients on immunosuppression therapy greater than or equal to 5mg prednisolone/day or equivalent
3.Evidence of central nervous system (CNS) leukaemia
4.Impaired cardiac function or clinically significant cardiac disease as follows:
a.left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) <45% as determined by Multi-gated Acquisition (MUGA) scan or echocardiogram (ECHO)

7.Uncontrolled active infection with known human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) or Hepatitis type B or C infection
8.Currently active gastrointestinal disease (e.g., ulcerative diseases, uncontrolled nausea, vomiting, diarrhoea, malabsorption syndrome, or small bowel resection), or other disease, that prevents the patient from absorbing or taking oral medication
9.Any other concurrent severe and/or uncontrolled medical conditions (eg. acute or chronic liver disease, infection, pulmonary disease) that in the opinion of the investigator could potentiate unacceptable safety risks or jeopardise compliance with the protocol
10.Previous adverse reaction to the trial drug/s
11.Has any other clinically important abnormalities as determined by the investigator that may interfere with his or her participation in or compliance with the study

Study & Design
- Study Type
- Interventional
- Study Design
- Not specified
- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method To investigate the efficacy of two novel treatments (high dose lenalidomide + azacitidine and high dose lenalidomide + romidepsin) compared with a control treatment (high dose lenalidomide alone) in patients with relapsed or refractory AML as measured by the complete remission (CR) rate following two cycles of therapy. Complete remission will be measured by clinical investigations conducted at usual physician appointments.[After all patients have completed two cycles of chemotherapy]
- Secondary Outcome Measures
