Brief Summary: Drugs used in chemotherapy such as cytarabine work in different ways to stop cancer cells from dividing so they stop growing or die 3-AP may help cytarabine kill more cancer cells by making them more sensitive to the drug This phase I trial is studying the side effects and best dose of 3-AP when given with high-dose cytarabine in treating patients with advanced hematologic malignancies
Detailed Description: PRIMARY OBJECTIVES
I Determine the maximum tolerated dose of 3-AP Triapine administered with high-dose cytarabine in patients with advanced hematologic malignancies
SECONDARY OBJECTIVES
I Determine the clinical activity of this regimen in these patients II Determine the effect of treatment with 3-AP Triapine on intracellular levels of cytarabine in these patients
OUTLINE This is a dose-escalation study of 3-AP Triapine
Patients receive high-dose cytarabine IV over 2 hours on days 1-5 and 3-AP Triapine IV over 2 hours on days 2-5 Treatment repeats every 28 days for up to 4 courses in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity
Cohorts of 3-6 patients in each stratum receive escalating doses of 3-AP Triapine until the maximum tolerated dose MTD is determined The MTD is defined as the dose preceding that at which 2 of 3 or 2 of 6 patients experience dose-limiting toxicity
Patients are followed for up to 2 years
PROJECTED ACCRUAL A total of 6-48 patients 3-24 per stratum will be accrued for this study within 15-24 months
