3-AP and Fludarabine in Treating Patients With Myeloproliferative Disorders, Chronic Myelomonocytic Leukemia, or Accelerated Phase or Blastic Phase Chronic Myelogenous Leukemia

Completed · Phase 2

Conditions studied: Accelerated Phase Chronic Myelogenous Leukemia, Atypical Chronic Myeloid Leukemia, BCR-ABL1 Negative, Blastic Phase Chronic Myelogenous Leukemia, Chronic Eosinophilic Leukemia, Chronic Myelomonocytic Leukemia, Essential Thrombocythemia, Philadelphia Chromosome Negative Chronic Myelogenous Leukemia, Polycythemia Vera, Primary Myelofibrosis, Relapsing Chronic Myelogenous Leukemia

In brief

This phase II trial is studying how well giving 3-AP together with fludarabine works in treating patients with myeloproliferative disorders (MPD), chronic myelomonocytic leukemia (CMML), or accelerated phase or blastic phase chronic myelogenous leukemia. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as 3-AP and fludarabine, work in different ways to stop the growth of cancer cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. 3-AP may help fludarabine work better by making cancer cells more sensitive to the drug. 3-AP and fludarabine may also stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Giving 3-AP together with fludarabine may kill more cancer cells.
