Study Summary

Tipifarnib may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking the enzymes necessary for their growth. Phase II trial to study the effectiveness of tipifarnib in treating patients who have acute myeloid leukemia or myelodysplastic syndrome in first complete remission

Primary Outcome

The trial is a success if greater than 45% of patients survive to 6 months. Comparing this to the null hypothesis of 25% survival, we have 84% power to detect this difference using an exact 2-sided binominal test of proportions for alpha of 0.10. This assumes no censoring occurs before 6 months.
