Criteria

Inclusion Criteria:

• ECOG performance status ≤ 2

• BSA ≥ 1.5 m² (first cohort only)

• Minimum life expectancy of 3 months or more

• Adequate renal function defined as serum creatinine <1.5× upper limit of normal (ULN) for institution

• Adequate hepatic function (defined as: Total bilirubin <1.5 × ULN for institution; ALT and AST <2.5 × ULN for institution [<5 X ULN if liver involvement with leukemia]; Prothrombin time <1.5 × ULN)

• Ability to comply with study procedures in the Investigator's opinion

• Adequate cardiac function defined as ejection fraction (EF) >40% by any method of the investigator's choice

• Autologous or allogeneic stem cell transplant < 3 months prior to enrollment; any evidence of ongoing graft versus host disease (GVHD), or GVHD requiring immunosuppressive therapy

• Another primary malignancy within the past 3 years

• Any condition or illness which, in the opinion of the investigator, would compromise patient safety or interfere with the evaluation of the safety of the drug

• Patients taking medicinal products that are known to be associated with prolongation of the QT interval on the electrocardiogram

• Major surgery (with the exception of intravenous catheter placement or bone marrow biopsy) within 14 days prior to initiating ponatinib therapy
