Brief Summary
The purpose of this study is to determine the efficacy of ponatinib in patients with chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) in chronic phase (CP), accelerated phase (AP) or blast phase (BP) or with philadelphia chromosome-positive (Ph+) acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) who either are resistant or intolerant to either dasatinib or nilotinib, or have the (T)hreonine-315-(I)soleucine (T315I) mutation.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (3)
Percentage of CP-CML Participants With Major Cytogenetic Response (MCyR)
MCyR is defined as percentage of participants with complete cytogenetic response (CCyR) or partial cytogenetic response (PCyR). Cytogenetic response is the percentage of Philadelphia chromosome positive (Ph+) metaphases in bone marrow (BM). Response is further defined as MCyR: CCyR or PCyR, where CCyR: no Ph+ cells; PCyR: 1 to 35% Ph+ cells.
Up to 12 months after initiation of study treatment
Percentage of AP-CML Participants With Major Hematologic Response (MaHR)
MaHR is defined as percentage of participants with complete hematologic response (CHR) or no evidence of leukemia (NEL). Response criteria for CHR is reported as white blood cells (WBC)≤institutional upper limit of normal, absolute neutrophil count (ANC)≥1000/mm\^3, platelets≥100,000/mm\^3, no blasts or promyelocytes in peripheral blood, BM blasts ≤5%, \<5% myelocytes plus metamyelocytes in peripheral blood, basophils in peripheral blood \<5%, no extramedullary involvement; Response criteria for NEL is reported as WBC≤institutional upper limit of normal, no blasts or promyelocytes in peripheral blood, BM blasts ≤5%, \<5% myelocytes plus metamyelocytes in peripheral blood, basophils in peripheral blood \<5%, no extramedullary involvement, at least 1 of the following: (i) 20,000/mm\^3≤platelets\<100,000/mm\^3; (ii) 500/mm\^3≤ANC\<1000/mm\^3.
