RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as cytarabine and VNP40101M, work in different ways to stop the growth of cancer cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Giving more than one drug (combination chemotherapy) may kill more cancer cells.
PURPOSE: This randomized phase III trial is studying cytarabine and VNP40101M to see how well they work compared to cytarabine alone in treating patients with relapsed acute myeloid leukemia.

OBJECTIVES:
Primary
Secondary
OUTLINE: This is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel group, multicenter study. Patients are stratified according to age (< 60 years vs ≥ 60 years) and duration of first complete response (CR) or CR (with platelet count < 100,000/mm³ but ≥ 20,000/mm³ [transfusion independent for ≥ 7 consecutive days]) (CRp) (< 12 months vs ≥ 12 months).
Induction therapy: Patients are randomized to 1 of 2 treatment arms.
PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A total of 420 patients (280 in arm I and 140 in arm II) will be accrued for this study within 24-30 months.
Ages Eligible for Study: | 18 Years and older |
Genders Eligible for Study: | Both |

DISEASE CHARACTERISTICS:
Histologically confirmed acute myeloid leukemia (AML)
In first relapse after achieving a first complete response (CR) OR CR (with platelet count < 100,000/mm³ but ≥ 20,000/mm³ [transfusion independent for ≥ 7 consecutive days]) (CRp) that lasted ≥ 3 months but ≤ 24 months after completion of the initial induction regimen
