Brief Summary: RATIONALE Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die Combining more than one drug may kill more tumor cells Chemoprotective drugs such as amifostine may protect normal cells from the side effects of chemotherapy

PURPOSE Phase I trial to study the effectiveness of amifostine in treating patients with newly diagnosed acute myeloid leukemia who are receiving idarubicin plus cytarabine
Detailed Description: OBJECTIVES

Determine whether amifostine provides systemic protection against the nonhematologic side effects of idarubicin IDR during induction therapy of acute myeloid leukemia AML allowing the dose of idarubicin to be escalated
Determine the maximum tolerated dose of idarubicin when amifostine is used as a chemotherapy protectant
Determine the incidence and severity of dose limiting hypotension in patients receiving amifostine and the ability to offset this side effect with vasoconstrictive agents
Determine whether any additional side effects of amifostine are dose limiting in patients with AML treated with IDR and cytarabine ARA-C
Monitor the frequency of alopecia mucositis diarrhea and septicemia involving enteric pathogens in these patients
Determine the requirement for intravenous hyperalimentation in patients receiving amifostine IDR and ARA-C

OUTLINE This is a dose escalation study of idarubicin IDR

Patients receive amifostine IV over 15 minutes followed 15-30 minutes later by chemotherapy Idarubicin IV is administered over 15 minutes on days 1-3 Cytarabine is administered by continuous infusion on days 1-7 Patients may receive 1 additional course of treatment if necessary

Cohorts of 3-6 patients each are treated at each dose level of idarubicin Dose escalation is discontinued when 2 or more patients experience dose limiting toxicity

Patients are followed at 3 months

PROJECTED ACCRUAL A maximum of 36 patients will be accrued for this study
