Summary
RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as clofarabine, work in different ways to stop
the growth of cancer cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing.
Temsirolimus may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for
cell growth. Giving clofarabine together with temsirolimus may kill more cancer cells.
PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying how well giving clofarabine together with
temsirolimus works in treating older patients with relapsed or refractory acute myeloid
leukemia.
