Rapamycin in Relapsed Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia
- Participants will be randomized into two groups; one group will receive corticosteroid
alone, and the other group will receive rapamycin and corticosteroid.
- The length of treatment will be 5 days, during which time we will collect blood samples
to measure the biologic effects of these drugs. Because these drugs will be given for
a short period of time only, this study is not designed to treat or cure the
participants leukemia. After the 5-day period, participants may resume other
cancer-directed therapies.
