Summary
Brief summary (as posted)
RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop cancer cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. Combining more than one drug may kill more cancer cells. PURPOSE: Phase I/II trial to study the effectiveness of combination chemotherapy in treating patients who have previously untreated acute myeloid leukemia.

- description
- Patients receive induction chemotherapy with daunorubicin IV over 10-15 minutes on days 1-3, cytarabine IV continuously on days 1-5, topotecan IV continuously on days 6-8, and etoposide IV over 60 minutes on days 9 and 10. Within 4 weeks of hematologic recovery, patients achieving remission after induction receive consolidation chemotherapy with cytarabine IV over 1 hour every 12 hours on days 1, 3, and 5. Subsequent courses of consolidation chemotherapy begin within 2 weeks of documentation of hematologic recovery from the prior consolidation course. Consolidation chemotherapy continues for 4 courses in the absence of unacceptable toxicity or disease progression.

- Maximum Tolerated Dose (MTD)
- timeFrame
- 2 years
- description
- Determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of topotecan when combined with daunorubicin, cytarabine, and etoposide in patients with de novo acute myeloid leukemia. Cohorts of 3-6 patients receive escalating doses of topotecan until the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) is determined. The MTD is defined as the dose preceding that at which 2 of 3 or 2 of 6 patients experience dose-limiting toxicity.
