                  leukemia at any time during the course of treatment (including allogeneic HSCT)

               -  Patients must have rearrangement involving the MLL gene, including reciprocal
                  chromosomal translocations involving 11q23 by FISH, cytogenetic analysis,
                  polymerase chain reaction (PCR) or next-generation sequencing (NGS) OR partial
                  tandem duplication (PTD) of MLL by PCR or NGS.

          3. Therapeutic Options: Patients must be ineligible or inappropriate for other treatment
             regimens known to have curative potential.

          4. Performance Level: Karnofsky > 50% for pts > 12 years; Lansky > 50% for pts < 12 years
             of age.

               -  At least 7 days since the completion of therapy with hematopoietic growth factors

               -  At least 7 days since the completion of therapy with a biologic agent

                  60mL/min/1.73m2 or a normal serum creatinine based on age/gender

               -  Total bilirubin < 1.5 x ULN for age or normal conjugated bilirubin

               -  ALT and AST < 3 x ULN (unless attributed to leukemic involvement)

          7. Cardiac Function: Patient must have a shortening fraction (SF) of > 27% or an ejection
             fraction (EF) of > 50% by echocardiogram or MUGA scan.

             glucocorticoids for management of circulating blast count or patients on a stable dose
             (<20mg/m2/day prednisone or equivalent) of systemic or topical glucocorticoid therapy
