FLAM for AML – pro
The serine/threonine kinase inhibitor flavopiridol targets multiple cyclin-dependent kinases, induces checkpoint arrest, and interrupts transcriptional elongation. Preliminary reports suggest that flavopiridol is cytotoxic to leukemic cells and, when followed by ara-C and mitoxantrone, exerts biological and clinical effects in patients with relapsed and refractory acute leukemias. The proposed protocol is Flavopiridol, Cytarabine, and Mitoxantrone in Treating Patients With Newly Diagnosed Acute Myeloid Leukemia, NCT00407966. This phase II trial is studying the side effects and how well giving flavopiridol together with cytarabine and mitoxantrone works in treating patients with newly diagnosed acute myeloid leukemia.
