CMA-676 in Treating Older Patients With Acute Myeloid Leukemia in First Relapse

RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop cancer cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. PURPOSE: Phase II trial to study the effectiveness of CMA-676 in treating older patients who have acute myeloid leukemia that has recurred for the first time following at least 3 months of complete remission.

Sex
