Trial Information

A Phase II Study of Gemcitabine (NSC #613327) in Children With Relapsed Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia or Acute Myelogenous Leukemia


OBJECTIVES:

- Determine the response rate in children with relapsed or refractory acute lymphoblastic
leukemia or acute myelogenous leukemia treated with gemcitabine.

- Assess the toxicity of this regimen in these patients.

OUTLINE: This is a multicenter study. Patients are stratified according to disease histology
(acute lymphoblastic leukemia vs acute myelogenous leukemia).

Patients receive gemcitabine IV over 6 hours weekly for 3 weeks. Treatment repeats every 4
weeks for a maximum of 2 courses in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable
toxicity.

PROJECTED ACCRUAL: Approximately 10-20 patients will be accrued for this study.
