Exclusion Criteria:
Bexarotene (Targretin): administered po qd. The initial daily dose of bexarotene will depend on the cohort to which each patient is assigned. Bexarotene will be self-administered except in patients who underwent plasma PK sampling on cycle 1, dose 1 and cycle 1, dose 3, at which time bexarotene was to be administered at the investigational site 1 hour (± 5 minutes) prior to pralatrexate administration. Pralatrexate (Folotyn): administered weekly via IV push over a minimum of 30 seconds up to a maximum of 5 minutes. One cycle is 4 weeks in duration consisting of weekly dosing of pralatrexate for 3 weeks followed by 1 week of rest. The initial dose of pralatrexate will depend on the cohort to which each patient is assigned.

Administered daily until criteria for study treatment discontinuation per the protocol are met.
Also known as: Bexarotene, Targretin®
1 mg intramuscular injection Administered within 10 weeks prior to start of study treatment, every 8-10 weeks throughout the study and for 30 days after last study treatment (dose of pralatrexate or bexarotene).
Also known as: Cyanocobalamin

Dose Limiting Toxicity (DLT) Rate
DLT rate is the number of patients experiencing a DLT divided by number of evaluable patients and it will be summarized by dose level.
Time frame: Assessed weekly through cycle 1 (weeks 1-4)
Overall Response Rate (ORR)
best overall response is the best response recorded from the start of treatment until PD. The objective response rate is the proportion of patients with a best overall response of either CR or PR and it will be summarized by dose level and overall.
Time frame: Assessed after every 2 cycles (8 weeks) for the first 12 months, then every 4 cycles (16 weeks) until progression of disease.
Number of Patients with Treatment-related Adverse Events (AEs) and Serious AEs (SAEs)
(CTCAE) Scale, Version 4.0 for AE grading. * Grade 3 neutropenia lasting for ≥ 7 days or granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF) administered. * Grade 3 thrombocytopenia. * Grade 3 treatment-related hyperlipidemia or hypothyroidism * Grade 3 study treatment-related non-hematologic toxicity
Time frame: Recorded at all study visits: weekly (every 7 +/- 2 days) while on treatment and at safety follow-up (35 +/- 5 days post-last dose) or early termination visit (at time of withdrawal).
Pharmacokinetic Parameters
This was collected during the dose-finding stage of the study. PK sampling is not included in the cohort expansion.
Time frame: Sampling through 24 hours post end-injection of pralatrexate in cycle 1 dose 1 (week 1) and cycle 1 dose 3 (week 3).
