PHASE I-II STUDY OF IDARUBICIN, CYTARABINE AND R115777 (TIPIFARNIB, ZARNESTRA; 702818; IND 58359), A FARNESYLTRANSFERASE INHIBITOR, IN PATIENTS WITH HIGH-RISK MYELODYSPLASTIC SYNDROMES AND ACUTE MYELOID LEUKEMIAS
In Brief
A Phase 2 clinical trial evaluating cytarabine, idarubicin, and 1 other intervention for Adult Acute Basophilic Leukemia and 22 related conditions. Completed, enrolled 95 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
This phase I/II trial is studying the side effects and best dose of tipifarnib when given with idarubicin and cytarabine and to see how well it works in treating patients with newly diagnosed myelodysplastic syndromes or acute myeloid leukemia. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as idarubicin and cytarabine, work in different ways to stop cancer cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. Tipifarnib (Zarnestra) may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking the enzymes necessary for their growth. Giving idarubicin and cytarabine with tipifarnib may kill more cancer cells.
