Clinical Trial Summary

The goal of this clinical research study is to see if a new interferon which is given only once a week with ARA-C works as well as standard interferon and low dose ARA-C. The safety of this treatment will also be studied.


Clinical Trial Description

If you agree to take part in this study, during treatment, you will have blood tests every 1 to 4 weeks. After 10 years, blood tests are recommended 2 times per year. Bone marrow samples will be taken every 3 months during the first year and then every 3 to 6 months. If you are on this study for 10 years or longer, the bone marrow collections will only be performed if the doctor thinks it is needed. To collect a bone marrow biopsy, an area of the hip is numbed with anesthetic, and a small amount of bone marrow and bone is withdrawn through a large needle.

During treatment, you will receive PEG-Intron once a week. You will also receive Ara-C injections under the skin. You will be taught to inject yourself, or a family member or friend can be taught how to give injections. Treatment will be given to you in the outpatient clinic at MD Anderson or in a clinic close to you.

You will receive treatment as long as it is helping to control the disease. Treatment will go on for about 5 to 20 years.

This is an investigational study. The FDA has approved PEG-Intron only for research studies. About 100 patients will take part in this study. All will be enrolled at MD Anderson. ;
