This is a window-of-opportunity trial to determine if atorvastatin given for 1 to 4 weeks at a dose of 80 milligrams per day (mg/day) is sufficient to decrease the level of conformational mutant tumor protein 53 (p53) in malignant diseases (solid tumor and relapsed Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML)).

Change in conformational mutant tumor protein 53 (p53)
Measured by immunohistochemistry (IHC) staining. Reported as overall percent difference in the level of conformation mutant p53.
Time frame: baseline and up to 4 weeks
Change in Ki-67 (protein)
Measured by immunohistochemistry (IHC) staining. Reported as overall percent difference in the level of Ki-67 (also known as MKI67) in the conformation mutant p53 samples.
Time frame: baseline and up to 4 weeks
Change in caspase-3
Measured by immunohistochemistry (IHC) staining. Reported as overall percent difference in the level of caspase-3 in the conformation mutant p53 samples.
Time frame: baseline and up to 4 weeks
