This research is being done to help us learn how to best use new drugs which may be active against acute myeloid leukemia (AML). Two study drugs will be tested: 5AC (5-azacitidine) and entinostat. 5AC improves blood counts in 50 - 60% of patients with MDS and has also shown promise in AML. Entinostat has undergone early testing in patients with MDS and AML. It has decreased the blast count in some patients' blood and bone marrow and has improved the blood counts in some patients. The combinations of these two classes of drugs are well tolerated and appear to work well together in laboratory tests. A recent study at Johns Hopkins University administered 5AC and entinostat in an overlapping schedule to patients with myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS), Chronic myelomonocytic leukemia (CMMoL), and AML. The impressive results from this study have led to another phase II trial to further examine this drug combination versus 5AC alone in these patients. In this study, we want to see how the timing of when 5AC and entinostat are given affects the magnitude of the disease response.

Given the importance of understanding CLI patients' outcomes and existing gaps in knowledge, there is a pressing need to collect observational data on treatment patterns, adherence to performance measures, and outcomes that are relevant to patients and clinicians. To address this need, the current study will pilot test the research infrastructure and data elements needed to build a larger, national study collecting of the CLI population. It will also provide much-needed preliminary information to identify areas of action that can be targeted in quality improvement programs for this population. Most importantly, it will provide data on health status outcomes in patients with CLI, as a function of individual patient characteristics (demographics, socio-economic and clinical background) and the treatments that patients have undergone. The PORTRAIT-CLI study will also be well equipped to identify potential disparities in the provision of care and patients' outcomes as a function of patient's characteristics.
