Brief Title: Decitabine and Plerixafor in Elderly Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML)
Official Title: Induction Therapy With Decitabine and Plerixafor Priming for Patients ≥ 60 Years With Acute Myeloid Leukemia
Study ID: NCT01352650
Brief Summary: The hypothesis of this proposal is that combining plerixafor, an inhibitor of stromal cell derived factor - 1α (SDF-1α), with decitabine, a DNA methyltransferase inhibitor, as induction and postremission therapy for older patients with Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML) will improve treatment outcomes via mobilization of leukemia stem cells and alteration of the pharmacodynamics of decitabine. The protocol will establish the safety and feasibility of combining two different doses of plerixafor with a fixed dose and schedule of decitabine.
