Cilengitide in Treating Patients With Acute Myeloid Leukemia

• Status: Terminated
• Trial end date: 1969-12-31
• Target enrollment: 0
• Participant gender: All

Summary

This randomized phase II trial is studying how well cilengitide works in treating patients with acute myeloid leukemia. Cilengitide may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking the enzymes necessary for their growth

• Phase: Phase 2
• Accepts Healthy Volunteers?: No

Details

• Lead Sponsor: National Cancer Institute (NCI)
