Official Title: A Phase I Dose-Escalation Study of R115777 (Tipifarnib) Plus PS-341 (Bortezomib) in Relapsed or Refractory Acute Leukemias
Brief Summary: This phase I trial is studying the side effects and best dose of tipifarnib and bortezomib in treating patients with acute leukemia or chronic myelogenous leukemia in blast phase. Tipifarnib and bortezomib may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Giving tipifarnib together with bortezomib may kill more cancer cells.
