A Randomized Phase II Trial of Tipifarnib (R115777, ZARNESTRA, NSC #702818) in Combination With Oral Etoposide (VP-16) in Elderly Adults With Newly Diagnosed, Previously Untreated Acute Myelogenous Leukemia (AML)
In Brief
A Phase 2 clinical trial evaluating tipifarnib and etoposide for Acute Myeloid Leukemia With Multilineage Dysplasia Following Myelodysplastic Syndrome and 16 related conditions. Completed, enrolled 84 participants across 5 sites.
Detailed Summary
This randomized phase II trial is studying the side effects and how well giving tipifarnib together with etoposide works in treating older patients with newly diagnosed, previously untreated acute myeloid leukemia. Tipifarnib may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as etoposide, work in different ways to stop the growth of cancer cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Giving tipifarnib together with etoposide may kill more cancer cells.
