Study Endpoints

Primary Endpoints

The objective is to determine the rate of complete remission or complete remission with incomplete platelet recovery induced by tipifarnib in patients with refractory or relapsed AML treated until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity occurs.

Secondary Endpoints

These objectives are to determine the objective remission rate, duration of remission, time to disease progression/progression-free survival, overall survival, and the clinical benefit/quality of life (QOL). The safety profile will also be determined.
