Arsenic Trioxide and Imatinib Mesylate in Treating Patients With Chronic Myelogenous Leukemia

Completed · Phase 1/Phase 2

Conditions studied: Leukemia

In brief

RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop cancer cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. Imatinib mesylate may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking the enzymes necessary for cancer cell growth. Combining chemotherapy with imatinib mesylate may kill more cancer cells. PURPOSE: Phase I/II trial to study the effectiveness of combining arsenic trioxide with imatinib mesylate in treating patients who have chronic phase chronic myelogenous leukemia.
