NCT00006240

Treatment

Summary

RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop cancer cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. Colony-stimulating factors such as sargramostim may increase the number of immune cells found in bone marrow or peripheral blood and may help a person's immune system recover from the side effects of chemotherapy. PURPOSE: Phase II trial to study the effectiveness of combining phenylbutyrate, dexamethasone, and sargramostim in treating patients who have refractory or relapsed acute myeloid leukemia.
