- Registration Number
- NCT00006462
- Lead Sponsor

- Brief Summary
RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die.
PURPOSE: Phase II trial to study the effectiveness of gemcitabine in treating children who have relapsed or refractory acute lymphoblastic leukemia or acute myelogenous leukemia.
- Detailed Description
OBJECTIVES:
* Determine the response rate in children with relapsed or refractory acute lymphoblastic leukemia or acute myelogenous leukemia treated with gemcitabine.
* Assess the toxicity of this regimen in these patients.
