Arsenic Trioxide and Gemtuzumab Ozogamicin in Treating Patients With Advanced Myelodysplastic Syndromes

Completed · Phase 2

Conditions studied: Leukemia, Myelodysplastic Syndromes

In brief

RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as arsenic trioxide and gemtuzumab ozogamicin, 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 arsenic trioxide together with gemtuzumab ozogamicin works in treating patients with advanced myelodysplastic syndromes.
