• Gender: All
• Age group: 20 Years and older

Eligibility

Inclusion Criteria:

• Diagnosed as Ph+ ALL who are either relapsed after or refractory to standard therapy

• Diagnosed as CML in blast crisis or accelerated phase or chronic phase who are resistant or intolerant to imatinib

• Performance status is normal or ambulatory and capable of all self-care Exclusion Criteria

• A history of significant or serious uncontrolled cardiovascular disease

• Impairment of gastrointestinal (GI) function or GI disease that may significantly alter the absorption of nilotinib

• Patients who are pregnant or breast feeding, or adults of reproductive potential not employing an effective method of birth control

Exclusion Criteria:

• Cytopathologically confirmed CNS infiltration NB: in absence of suspicion of CNS involvement, lumbar puncture is not required

• Impaired cardiac function, including any one of the following

• LVEF < 45% as determined by echocardiogram

• Complete left bundle branch block

• Use of a cardiac pacemaker

• ST depression of > 1mm in 2 or more leads and/or T-wave inversions in 2 or more contiguous leads

• Congenital long QT syndrome

• History of or presence of significant ventricular or atrial tachyarrhythmias

• Clinically significant resting bradycardia (< 50 beats per minute)

• QTc > 480 msec on screening ECG (using the QTcF formula)

• Right bundle branch block plus left anterior hemiblock, bifascicular block

• Myocardial infarction within 3 months prior to starting AMN107

• Uncontrolled angina pectoris

• Other clinically significant heart disease (e.g., congestive heart failure, uncontrolled hypertension, history of labile hypertension, or history of poor compliance with an antihypertensive regimen)

• Impairment of gastrointestinal (GI) function or GI disease that may significantly alter the absorption of AMN107 (e.g. ulcerative diseases, uncontrolled nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, malabsorption syndrome, or small bowel resection)

• Use of therapeutic warfarin

• Acute or chronic liver or renal disease considered unrelated to tumor (e.g., hepatitis, cirrhosis, renal insufficiency, etc.)

• Other concurrent severe and/or uncontrolled medical conditions (e.g., uncontrolled diabetes, active or uncontrolled infection) that could cause unacceptable safety risks or compromise compliance with the protocol

• Treatment with any hematopoietic colony-stimulating growth factors (e.g., G-CSF) = 1 week prior to starting study drug.

• Patients who are currently receiving treatment with any of the medications listed in (cf. Post-text suppl. 5) that cannot be either discontinued or switched to a different medication prior to starting study drug. The medications listed in (cf. Post-text suppl. 5) have the potential to prolong the Q-T interval.

• Patients who have received chemotherapy = 1 week or who are within 5 half-lives of their last dose chemotherapy (6 weeks for nitrosurea or mitomycin-C) prior to starting study drug or who have not recovered from side effects of such therapy. Hydroxyurea is permitted at the investigator's discretion prior to enrollment.

• Patients who have received Glivec® = 1 week or who have not recovered from side effects of such therapy.

• Patients who have received immunotherapy = 1 week prior to starting study drug or who have not recovered from side effects of such therapy.

• Patients who have received any investigational drug (excluding STI571/Glivec) = 4 weeks or investigational cytotoxic agent within 1 week (or who are within 5 half-lives of a previous investigational cytotoxic agent) prior to starting study drug or who have not recovered from side effects of such therapy.

• Patients who have received wide field radiotherapy = 4 week or limited field radiation for palliation = 2 week prior to starting study drug or who have not recovered from side effects of such therapy.

• Patients who have undergone major surgery = 2 weeks prior to starting study drug or who have not recovered from side effects of such therapy.

• Patients who are pregnant or breast feeding, or adults of reproductive potential not employing an effective method of birth control. (Women of childbearing potential must have a negative serum pregnancy test within 48 hrs prior to administration of AMN107). Post-menopausal women must be amenorrheic for at least 12 months to be considered of non-childbearing potential. Male and female patients must agree to employ an effective barrier method of birth control throughout the study and for up to 3 months following discontinuation of study drug

• Known diagnosis of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection (HIV testing is not mandatory)

• Patients with a history of another primary malignancy that is currently clinically significant or currently requires active intervention.

• Patients unwilling or unable to comply with the protocol

Other protocol-defined inclusion and exclusion criteria may apply.
