Summary
This phase I trial is studying the side effects and best dose of GTI-2040 and high-dose
cytarabine in treating patients with refractory or relapsed acute myeloid leukemia. GTI-2040
may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking the enzymes necessary for cancer cell growth.
Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as cytarabine, use different ways to stop cancer cells from
dividing so they stop growing or die. Giving GTI-2040 together with cytarabine may kill more
cancer cells.
