Brief Summary: RATIONALE Azacitidine plus phenylbutyrate may help leukemia cells develop into normal white blood cells

PURPOSE Phase I trial to study the effectiveness of combining azacitidine and phenylbutyrate in treating patients who have acute myeloid leukemia or myelodysplastic syndrome
Detailed Description: OBJECTIVES

Determine the safety and toxicity of azacitidine in combination with phenylbutyrate in patients with recurrent refractory or untreated acute myeloid leukemia or myelodysplastic syndrome
Determine the minimal effective pharmacologic dose of azacitidine required to consistently inhibit DNA methyltransferase in this patient population
Obtain preliminary clinical andor laboratory data suggesting potential therapeutic activity of this combination regimen in these patients

OUTLINE This is a dose deescalation study of azacitidine

Patients receive azacitidine subcutaneously daily on days 1-5 and 29-33 followed by phenylbutyrate IV continuously on days 5-12 and 33-40 Treatment continues for at least 2 courses in the absence of disease progression Patients with responsive disease may receive an additional 2 months of therapy

Cohorts of 3-6 patients receive deescalating doses of azacitidine until the minimal effective pharmacologic dose MEPD is determined The MEPD is defined as the dose above the dose at which more than 1 of 6 patients do not meet the target enzyme inhibition of greater than 90

Once the MEPD and toxicity have been established for a 5 day schedule daily dose schedule of azacitidine is increased to 10 14 and 21 days followed by phenylbutyrate for 7 days Courses are repeated every 28 days

PROJECTED ACCRUAL Approximately 32 patients will be accrued for this study within 2 years
