Objectives
I. Evaluate the safety and efficacy of recombinant human granulocyte/macrophage colony stimulating factor (GM-CSF) administered as a daily 4-hour infusion following induction chemotherapy with daunomycin/cytosine arabinoside and following consolidation with high-dose cytosine arabinoside in elderly patients with de novo AML. II. Evaluate the ability of GM-CSF to accelerate hematopoietic recovery following induction and consolidation chemotherapy in elderly patients with AML. III. Assess whether GM-CSF decreases the morbidity and mortality from infectious complications following induction and consolidation chemotherapy in elderly patients with de novo AML. IV. Estimate the rate and duration of CR and survival duration of elderly patients with de novo AML who receive induction chemotherapy with daunomycin/cytosine arabinoside and a single course of consolidation chemotherapy with high-dose cytosine arabinoside.

Note: The purpose of most clinical trials listed in this database is to test new cancer treatments, or new methods of diagnosing, screening, or preventing cancer. Because all potentially harmful side effects are not known before a trial is conducted, dose and schedule modifications may be required for participants if they develop side effects from the treatment or test. The therapy or test described in this clinical trial is intended for use by clinical oncologists in carefully structured settings, and may not prove to be more effective than standard treatment. A responsible investigator associated with this clinical trial should be consulted before using this protocol.
