This subproject is one of many research subprojects utilizing theresources provided by a Center grant funded by NIH/NCRR. The subproject andinvestigator (PI) may have received primary funding from another NIH source,and thus could be represented in other CRISP entries. The institution listed isfor the Center, which is not necessarily the institution for the investigator.To determine safety and efficacy of bortezomib (PS-341) in combination with idarubicin in a phase I and II clinical trial for patients with AML. The rationale for this novel clinical trial is based on our preclinical studies demonstrating a strong tumor-specific induction of apoptosis for primary human AML cells using the combination of bortezomib and idarubicin. Elderly and relapsed AML patients have been targeted for this study due to the lack of a 'standard of care' and poor outcomes for these patients owing to a preponderance of poor-risk cytogenetics, multi-drug resistance, and antecedent co-morbidities. We expect to define dose-limiting toxicities and a maximal tolerated dose of bortezimib when combined with idarubicin in a phase I study; subsequently, safety and efficacy of the combination at the designated dose will be explored in a phase II study with expanded enrollment. We anticipate that with this regimen we will observe potent anti-leukemia activity, complete clinical remissions and less overall toxicity.
