Summary
Brief summary (as posted)
This phase I trial is studying the side effects and best dose of flavopiridol in treating patients with B-cell chronic lymphocytic leukemia or small lymphocytic lymphoma. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as alvocidib, work in different ways to stop the growth of cancer cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing.
