Summary

This phase II trial is studying the side effects and how well decitabine works when given as maintenance therapy after standard therapy in treating patients with previously untreated acute myeloid leukemia. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as cytarabine, daunorubicin, etoposide, busulfan, and decitabine, work in different ways to stop the growth of cancer cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Giving decitabine as maintenance therapy after standard therapy may keep cancer cells from coming back.

Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion Criteria

  • Unequivocal histologic diagnosis of AML (> 20% blasts in the bone marrow based on the World Health Organization [WHO] and/or French American British [FAB] classifications), excluding M3 (acute promyelocytic leukemia); patients with antecedent myelodysplasia are eligible for treatment on this trial only if there were no bone marrow biopsy showing myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) > 3 months prior to enrollment; patients with therapy-related AML are eligible if they have been free of their primary disease and have not received any chemotherapy for at least 2 years
  • No prior 5-azacitidine or decitabine therapy
  • No prior treatment for leukemia or myelodysplastic syndrome with four permissible exceptions:
  • Emergency leukapheresis
