* White blood cells (WBC) ≤25 x 109/L (may receive hydroxyurea to bring WBC count down prior to first dose of CD33xCD3 BsAb and during Cycle 1 or low dose cytarabine up to 48 h prior to first dose of CD33xCD3 BsAb)
* Central Nervous System (CNS) disease as per Children's Oncology Group

  * Patients must have the status of CNS1 and no clinical signs or neurologic symptoms suggestive of CNS leukemia, such as cranial palsy
  * Patients with CNS3 or CNS2 status may receive antecedent intrathecal chemotherapy to achieve CNS1 status prior to trial entry
  * Patients with a history of CNS chloromatous disease are required to have no radiographic evidence of disease prior to enrollment
* Has acceptable liver and kidney laboratory values
* Patient must have recovered from acute toxic effects of prior anti-cancer therapies prior to first dose of CD33xCD3 BsAb
