Brief Summary: The goal of this clinical research study is to learn if cladribine given in combination with low-dose cytarabine LDAC and decitabine can help control the disease in patients with AML or MDS The safety of this drug combination will also be studied

Cladribine is designed to interfere with the cells ability to process DNA the genetic material of cells It can also insert itself into the DNA of cancer cells to stop them from growing and repairing themselves

Cytarabine is designed to insert itself into DNA of cancer cells to stop them from growing and repairing themselves

Decitabine is designed to damage the DNA of cells which may cause cancer cells to die

This is an investigational study Cladribine is FDA approved and commercially available for use in patients with hairy cell leukemia Its use in patients with AML is investigational

Cytarabine is FDA approved and commercially available for use in patients with AML

Decitabine is FDA approved and commercially available for use in patients with MDS Its use for patients with AML is investigational

Up to 160 patients will take part in this study All will be enrolled at MD Anderson
Detailed Description: Study Drug Administration

If you are eligible to take part in this study you will receive 1 or 2 cycles of induction therapy followed by up to 17 cycles of consolidation therapy Each study cycle is 4 weeks

Induction Cycles

On Days 1-5 you will receive cladribine by vein over 1-2 hours

On Days 1-10 you will give yourself the cytarabine by injection twice a day about 12 hours apart You will receive instructions on how give yourself the injections

You may receive up to 2 cycles at this dose and schedule

Consolidation Cycles

Consolidation cycles will begin on Cycle 2 regardless of how many cycles you received of induction therapy

During Cycles 2 5 6 9 10 13 14 17 and 18

On Days 1-3 you will receive cladribine by vein over 1-2 hours
On Days 1-10 you will give yourself cytarabine by injection twice daily starting 3 to 6 hours after the start of the cladribine infusion

Cycles 3 4 7 8 11 12 15 and 16

On Days 1-5 you will receive decitabine by vein over 1-2 hours each day

Length of Treatment

You may continue taking the study drugs for up to 18 cycles You will no longer be able to take the study drug if the disease gets worse if intolerable side effects occur or if you are unable to follow study directions

Your participation on the study will be over when you have completed follow-up

Study Visits

On Day 1 of every cycle

You will have a physical exam including measurement of your weight and vital signs
Your performance status will be recorded

On Day 21 - 7days of the induction cycle you may have a bone marrow aspirate to check the status of the disease After that you will have a bone marrow aspirate every 2 weeks or more often if your doctor feels it is necessary If your routine blood tests show that there is still leukemia you may not need to have the bone marrow samples collected

Blood about 1-2 teaspoons will be drawn for routine tests at least 1 time weekly until remission then every 2-4 weeks during treatment the every 4-8 weeks while you are on the study

Follow-Up Visits

When you are off treatment every 6 -12 months you will be contacted by a member of the study staff You will be asked about any side effects you may be having The phone calls will take about 5-10 minutes You will continue to be called for as long as possible
