  Purpose

RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as flavopiridol, cytarabine, and mitoxantrone, work in different ways to stop the growth of cancer cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Giving more than one drug (combination chemotherapy) may kill more cancer cells.

PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying the side effects and how well giving flavopiridol together with cytarabine and mitoxantrone works in treating patients with newly diagnosed acute myeloid leukemia.

Primary Outcome Measures:
  • Complete Response [ Time Frame: 6 months ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
    Bone marrow showing less than 5% myeloblasts with normal maturation of all cell lines, an ANC of at least 1000/L and a platelet count of 100,000 L, absence of blast in peripheral blood, absence of identifiable leukemic cells in the bone marrow, clearance of disease-associated cytogenetic abnormalities, and clearance of any previously existing extramedullary disease. A CR must be confirmed 4 to 6 weeks after the initial documentation. If possible, at least one bone marrow biopsy should be performed to confirm the CR.

Detailed Description:

OBJECTIVES:

Primary

  • Determine the efficacy of flavopiridol, cytarabine, and mitoxantrone hydrochloride, in terms of complete response, in patients with newly diagnosed, poor-risk acute myeloid leukemia.
  • Determine the toxicity of this regimen in these patients.

OUTLINE: Patients receive flavopiridol IV over 1 hour on days 1-3, cytarabine IV continuously over 72 hours on days 6-8, and mitoxantrone hydrochloride IV over 1-2 hours on day 9. Beginning 35-63 days after completion of course 1, patients achieving complete or partial remission may receive a second course of treatment as above.

Patients age 50 and over with "core binding factor" acute myeloid leukemia (AML) (e.g., t[8;21], inv[16], or t[16;16]) achieving a complete remission after course 1 of treatment may receive 3-4 courses of consolidation therapy comprising high-dose cytarabine at the discretion of the investigator.

After completion of study treatment, patients are followed periodically.

PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A total of 25 patients will be accrued for this study.
