Combination Chemotherapy Plus PSC 833 Followed by Interleukin-2 in Treating Patients With Acute Myelogenous Leukemia

Summary

RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop cancer cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. Some cancers may become resistant to chemotherapy drugs. Combining PSC 833 with chemotherapy may reduce resistance to the drugs and allow the cancer cells to be killed. Interleukin-2 may stimulate a person's white blood cells to kill leukemia cells. PURPOSE: Phase I/II trial to study the effectiveness of combination chemotherapy plus PSC 833 followed by additional chemotherapy or peripheral stem cell transplantation and interleukin-2 in treating patients with untreated acute myelogenous leukemia.
