The goal of this clinical research study is to see if a new interferon which is given only once a week with ARA-C works as well as standard interferon and low dose ARA-C. The safety of this treatment will also be studied. In some patients, extra blood samples will be taken to measure the effect of treatment on leukemia cells.
