Inclusion Criteria

A subject will be eligible for study participation if he/she meets the following criteria within 21 days prior to randomization.
? Subject must have confirmation of AML by WHO criteria and be ineligible for treatment with a standard cytarabine and anthracycline induction regimen due age or comorbidities.
? Subject must be = 18 years of age.

? DLCO = 65% or FEV1 = 65%;
? Creatinine clearance = 30 mL/min to < 45 ml/min;
? Moderate hepatic impairment with total bilirubin > 1.5 to = 3.0 × ULN;
? Any other comorbidity that the physician judges to be incompatible with intensive chemotherapy must be reviewed and approved by the AbbVie TA MD before study enrollment.
? Subject must have an Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) Performance status:
- 0 to 2 for subjects = 75 years of age OR
- 0 to 3 for subjects = 18 to 74 years of age.
? Subject must have adequate renal function as demonstrated by a creatinine clearance = 30 mL/min; calculated by the Cockcroft Gault formula or measured by 24 hours urine collection.

o Subjects who are < 75 years of age may have a bilirubin of = 3.0 × ULN
? Female subjects must be either postmenopausal defined as:
- Age > 55 years with no menses for 12 or more months without an alternative medical cause

? Male subjects who are sexually active, must agree, from Study Day 1 through at least 90 days after the last dose of study drug, to practice the protocol specified contraception. Male subjects must agree to refrain from sperm donation from initial study drug administration through at least 90 days after the last dose of study drug.
? Female subjects of childbearing potential must have negative results for pregnancy test performed:
- At Screening with a serum sample obtained within 14 days prior to the first study drug administration, and
- Prior to dosing with urine sample obtained on Cycle 1 Day 1, if it has been > 7 days since obtaining the serum pregnancy test results.
? Subject must voluntarily sign and date an informed consent, approved by an Independent Ethics Committee (IEC)/Institutional Review Board (IRB), prior to the initiation of any screening or study-specific procedures.

? Subject has received strong and/or moderate CYP3A inducers within 7 days prior to the initiation of study treatment.
- Chinese AML subjects participating in the safety cohort per Appendix K are also excluded from receiving strong and/or moderate CYP3A inhibitors from 7 days prior to the initiation of study treatment through the entire dose limiting toxicity (DLT) / safety evaluation period.

? Subject has a cardiovascular disability status of New York Heart Association Class > 2. Class 2 is defined as cardiac disease in which patients are comfortable at rest but ordinary physical activity results in fatigue, palpitations, dyspnea, or anginal pain.
? Subject has chronic respiratory disease that requires continuous oxygen, or significant history of renal, neurologic, psychiatric, endocrinologic, metabolic, immunologic, hepatic, cardiovascular disease, or any other medical condition or known hypersensitivity to any of the study medications including excipients of azacitidine that in the opinion of the investigator would adversely affect his/her participating in this study.
