Primary Outcome Measures:

Response rate: partial remission plus complete remission (PR + CR) [ Time Frame: Extent of disease measured by CBC with differential prior to every cycle, and bone marrow aspiration and biopsy at baseline, then bone marrow aspirate at end of Cycles 1 and 2, and then every other cycle (end of Cycles 4, 6, etc.). ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]

Secondary Outcome Measures:

Progression free survival (PFS) and duration of response (DOR) [ Time Frame: CBC prior to every cycle, bone marrow at baseline, end Cycles 1, 2, every other cycle. ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
Safety and tolerability of MLN8237 treatment based on vital signs, physical examination, laboratory tests, and adverse events [ Time Frame: Duration of therapy through 30 days after the last dose. ] [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]

Estimated Enrollment:	41
Study Start Date:	February 2009
Estimated Study Completion Date:	November 2011
Estimated Primary Completion Date:	October 2011 (Final data collection date for primary outcome measure)

Arms	Assigned Interventions
1: Experimental MLN8237	Drug: MLN8237 MLN8237 will be administered orally (PO) at a dose of 50 mg twice daily (BID) for seven consecutive days followed by a 14-day rest period, in 21-day cycles. Dose reductions will be implemented in the setting of drug-related toxicities. The first dose of MLN8237 on Cycle 1, Day 1 will be administered in the study clinic. Patients will continue to receive repeated cycles of MLN8237 treatment for up to 12 months, or until there is evidence of disease progression or unacceptable treatment-related toxicity. Treatment with MLN8237 may be continued beyond 12 months if it is determined that a patient would clearly derive benefit from continued therapy.

Criteria

Inclusion Criteria:

Each patient must meet all of the following inclusion criteria:

Male or female patients 18 years or older
Eligible diagnoses:
- Acute myelogenous leukemia (except APL) with > 10% bone marrow or peripheral blood blasts; failed to achieve CR or relapse after prior therapy, not candidates for potentially curative treatment. Untreated patients > 60 are eligible if not candidates for standard induction.
- High-grade MDS, defined by all the following features: IPSS Intermediate-2 or High Risk; > 10% blasts on bone marrow examination; treatment failure from, or not candidates for, standard therapies including demethylating agents, eg azacytidine or decitabine.
Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group perf. status 0-2
Female patients:
- Postmenopausal for at least one year
- Surgically sterile, or
- If childbearing potential, agree to practice two effective methods of contraception or abstain from heterosexual intercourse.
Male patients:
- Practice effective barrier contraception to one month after the last dose of study drug, or
- Abstain from heterosexual intercourse.
Voluntary written consent
Patients on hydroxyurea may be included

Exclusion Criteria:

Pregnant or lactating females
Known human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) positive or AIDS-related illness
Serious medical or psychiatric illness that could, in the investigator's opinion, potentially interfere with the protocol completion
Total bilirubin > 1.5 × the upper limit of normal (ULN)
Alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and aspartate aminotransferase (AST) > 2.5 × the ULN. AST, ALT may be elevated to 5 x the ULN if reasonably ascribed to underlying hematological disorder.
Calculated creatinine clearance < 30 mL/minute
Antineoplastic or radiotherapy within 14 days preceding the first dose
Myocardial infarction within 6 months of enrollment or current history of New York Heart Association (NYHA) Class III or IV heart failure, uncontrolled angina, severe uncontrolled ventricular arrhythmias, or electrocardiographic evidence of acute ischemia
Major surgery 14 days prior to the first dose
Clinically uncontrolled central nervous system (CNS) involvement.
Inability to swallow capsules
History of uncontrolled sleep apnea or conditions that result in excessive daytime sleepiness, such as chronic lung disease
