Azacitidine and Arsenic Trioxide in Treating Patients With Myelodysplastic Syndromes or Chronic Myelomonocytic Leukemia
Non-randomizedSingle-groupOpen-labelTreatment
Summary
RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as azacitidine and arsenic trioxide, work in different ways to stop the growth of cancer cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Giving more than one drug (combination chemotherapy) may kill more cancer cells. PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying how well giving azacitidine together with arsenic trioxide works in treating patients with myelodysplastic syndromes or chronic myelomonocytic leukemia.
