Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop cancer cells from dividing so they stop growing or die.

PURPOSE: Phase I trial to study the effectiveness of VNP40101M in treating patients who have relapsed or refractory leukemia or myelodysplastic syndrome.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

OBJECTIVES:

* Determine the toxic effects of VNP40101M in patients with relapsed or refractory leukemia or poor-risk myelodysplastic syndromes.
* Determine the maximum tolerated dose of this drug in these patients.
* Determine the pharmacokinetics of this drug in these patients.
* Determine the antitumor effects of this drug in these patients.

OUTLINE: Patients receive VNP40101M IV over 15 minutes once every 4 weeks.

PROJECTED ACCRUAL: Approximately 40 patients will be accrued for this study.
