Summary

RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as azacitidine, work in different ways to stop the growth of cancer cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Monoclonal antibodies, such as lintuzumab, can block cancer growth in different ways. Some block the ability of cancer cells to grow and spread. Others find cancer cells and help kill them or carry cancer-killing substances to them. Giving chemotherapy together with monoclonal antibodies may be a better way to block cancer growth.

PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying the side effects and how well giving azacitidine together with lintuzumab works in treating patients with previously untreated myelodysplastic syndromes.

Conditions

Interventions

BIOLOGICAL

lintuzumab

Cycle 1 600mg as an IV infusion (flat dose for all), given on days 2, 7, 15, and 22. Subsequent Cycles (cycles to be repeated every 28 days) 600mg as an IV infusion, given every other week, twice during each cycle, including one dose given during AZA therapy. Doses should be given at least 12 days apart. By convention, dosing on days 7 and 22 of each cycle will be encouraged, but due to expected issues of patient convenience (time, travel, etc.), the study requirements are every other week, twice during each cycle, with one dose during AZA treatment.

DRUG

5-azacytidine

75mg/m2 IV/SC daily on days 1-7.
