Female subjects of childbearing potential must be willing to use highly effective birth control upon enrollment, during the treatment period, and for 6 months following the last dose of quizartinib or cytarabine, whichever is later. Female subjects are considered of childbearing potential following menarche, unless permanently sterile (undergone a hysterectomy, bilateral salpingectomy or bilateral oophorectomy).
10. Female subjects with infants must agree not to breastfeed their infants while on this study.
11. Male subjects must be surgically sterile or willing to use highly effective birth control upon enrollment, during the period of therapy, and for 6 months following the last dose of quizartinib or cytarabine, whichever is later.
12. Subjects and/or their parents or legal guardians must be capable of understanding the investigational nature, potential risks, and benefits of the study. All subjects and/or their parents or legal guardians must sign a written informed consent. Age appropriate assent will be obtained per institutional guidelines.
