Brief Summary

RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop cancer cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. Combining more than one drug may kill more cancer cells. PURPOSE: Phase I trial to study the effectiveness of topotecan and etoposide in treating patients who have recurrent or refractory leukemia.

Conditions

Leukemia

Keywords

recurrent adult acute myeloid leukemia; recurrent adult acute lymphoblastic leukemia; relapsing chronic myelogenous leukemia; blastic phase chronic myelogenous leukemia; L1 adult acute lymphoblastic leukemia; L2 adult acute lymphoblastic leukemia; adult acute erythroid leukemia (M6); adult acute myeloblastic leukemia without maturation (M1); adult acute myeloblastic leukemia with maturation (M2); adult acute promyelocytic leukemia (M3); adult acute myelomonocytic leukemia (M4); adult acute monoblastic leukemia (M5a); adult acute megakaryoblastic leukemia (M7); secondary acute myeloid leukemia; adult acute monocytic leukemia (M5b); adult acute minimally differentiated myeloid leukemia (M0)

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• Determine the maximum tolerated dose of topotecan when combined with etoposide in patients with relapsed or refractory acute myelogenous leukemia, acute lymphoblastic leukemia, or blastic phase chronic myelogenous leukemia.

Interventions

etoposide DRUG

topotecan hydrochloride DRUG
