Brief Summary: RATIONALE Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop cancer cells from dividing so they stop growing or die Thalidomide may stop the growth of cancer cells by stopping blood flow to the tumor Combining chemotherapy with thalidomide may kill more cancer cells
PURPOSE Phase II trial to study the effectiveness of combining fludarabine carboplatin and topotecan with thalidomide in treating patients who have relapsed or refractory acute myeloid leukemia chronic myelogenous leukemia or advanced myelodysplastic syndromes
Detailed Description: OBJECTIVES
Determine the response rate of patients with relapsedrefractory or high-risk acute myeloid leukemia chronic myelogenous leukemia or advanced myelodysplastic syndromes treated with fludarabine carboplatin topotecan and thalidomide Determine the non-hematologic toxicity profile and time to hematopoietic recovery in patients treated with this regimen Determine the effects of this regimen on changes in biologic parameters that may predict response in these patients Correlate bone marrow microvascular density before and after treatment with response in these patients Determine the prognostic value of pretreatment plasma and serum levels of vascular endothelial growth factor VEGF andor the modulation of serum levels of VEGF during treatment in predicting response in these patients
OUTLINE Patients are stratified according to diagnosis previously untreated acute leukemia vs other
Patients receive fludarabine IV over 5-10 minutes and carboplatin IV over 24 hours on days 1-5 followed by topotecan IV continuously over 72 hours Patients receive oral thalidomide daily beginning within days 1-3 and continuing in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity
Patients with residual disease on day 16-18 may receive a second course of chemotherapy as above Patients who achieve remission may receive a third course of chemotherapy as above as consolidation beginning 4-8 weeks after completion of prior chemotherapy
Patients are followed monthly for 6 months
PROJECTED ACCRUAL A total of 40 patients 20 per stratum will be accrued for this study
