Purpose
RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die.
PURPOSE: Phase I/II trial to study the effectiveness of arsenic trioxide in treating patients with refractory or recurrent acute promyelocytic leukemia.

| Official Title: | A Phase I/II Trial of Infusional Arsenic Trioxide for Relapsed Acute Promyelocytic Leukemia |
| Estimated Enrollment: | 32 |
| Study Start Date: | May 1998 |
OBJECTIVES:
OUTLINE: This is a dose-escalation study.
Patients receive arsenic trioxide IV over 2 hours daily for 28 days followed by a 14 day rest period. Patients may receive up to 3 courses of treatment.
Dose escalation continues in cohorts of 3-6 patients until the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) or minimum effective dose (MED) is determined. The MTD is defined as the dose preceding that at which 2 or more patients experience dose limiting toxicity. The MED is defined as the dose at which 4 of 6 patients achieve a complete cytogenetic or molecular response. After the MTD or MED is determined, an additional 20 patients are enrolled at this dose level.
Patients are followed monthly for 6 months and every three months for an additional 1.5 years.
PROJECTED ACCRUAL: Approximately 32 patients will be accrued for this study within 3 years.
