Monitoring, Detoxifying, and Rebalancing Metals During Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML) and Myelodysplastic Syndrome (MDS) Therapy
M.D. Anderson Cancer Center
Summary
This phase I trial studies the side effects and best dose of edetate calcium disodium or succimer in treating patients with acute myeloid leukemia or myelodysplastic syndrome undergoing chemotherapy. Edetate calcium disodium or succimer may help to lower the level of metals found in the bone marrow and blood and may help to control the disease and/or improve response to chemotherapy.
Description
PRIMARY OBJECTIVES: 1. To establish the maximal tolerated dose (MTD) of Phase 1 in acute myeloid leukemia (AML) and myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) patients undergoing therapy combined with succimer (DMSA) and edetate calcium disodium (Ca-EDTA). (Phase I dose escalation) 2. To assess the efficacy information regarding the combined therapy in terms of the overall response rate (ORR) including complete remission (CR), CR with partial hematological recovery (CRh), CR with incomplete count recovery (CRi), morphologic leukemia free state (MLFS), and partial remission (PR). (Phase I expansion) SECO…
