Study #2010-0981
Phase II Study of Treatment of Acute Promyelocytic Leukemia (APL) with ATRA, Arsenic Trioxide and Gemtuzumab Ozogamicin (GO)
MD Anderson Study Status
Enrolling
Treatment Agent
Arsenic Trioxide, Gemtuzumab Ozogamicin, Tretinoin
Description
This phase II trial studies how well tretinoin and arsenic trioxide with or without gemtuzumab ozogamicin works in treating patients with previously untreated acute promyelocytic leukemia. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as tretinoin and arsenic trioxide, work in different ways to stop the growth of cancer cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. Immunotoxins, such as gemtuzumab ozogamicin, may find certain cancer cells and kill them without harming normal cells. Giving tretinoin and arsenic trioxide together with gemtuzumab ozogamicin may kill more cancer cells.
