VNP40101M in Treating Patients With Acute Myelogenous Leukemia or High-Risk Myelodysplasia

Completed · Phase 2

Conditions studied: Leukemia, Myelodysplastic Syndromes, Myelodysplastic/Myeloproliferative Neoplasms

In brief

RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as VNP40101M and hydroxyurea, work in different ways to stop cancer cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. Hydroxyurea may help VNP40101M kill more cancer cells by making cancer cells more sensitive to the drug. PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying how well giving VNP40101M with hydroxyurea works in treating patients with acute myelogenous leukemia or high-risk myelodysplasia.
