Inotuzumab Ozogamicin and Combination Chemotherapy in Treating Patients with Relapsed or Refractory Acute Leukemia

Trial Status: closed to accrual and intervention

This phase I trial studies the side effects and best dose of inotuzumab ozogamicin when given together with combination chemotherapy in treating patients with acute leukemia that has returned (relapsed) or that does not respond to treatment (refractory). Immunotoxins, such as inotuzumab ozogamicin, can find cancer cells that express cluster of differentiation (CD)22 and kill them without harming normal cells. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as cyclophosphamide, vincristine sulfate, and prednisone, work in different ways to stop the growth of cancer cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. Giving inotuzumab ozogamicin together with combination chemotherapy may kill more cancer cells.
