Gemtuzumab Ozogamicin and High-Dose Cytarabine in Treating Patients With Relapsed or Refractory Acute Myeloid Leukemia

NCT00006265

Non-randomizedParallel-groupOpen-labelTreatment

Summary

RATIONALE: Monoclonal antibodies, such as gemtuzumab ozogamicin, can locate cancer cells and either kill them or deliver cancer-killing substances to them without harming normal cells. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as cytarabine, use different ways to stop cancer cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. Combining gemtuzumab ozogamicin with cytarabine may kill more cancer cells. PURPOSE: Phase II trial to study the effectiveness of combining gemtuzumab ozogamicin with high-dose cytarabine in treating patients who have relapsed or refractory acute myeloid leukemia.
