## Abstract The treatment of refractory acute nonlymphocytic leukemia remains a major clinical problem in leukemia therapy. VP 16β213 is an investigational agent that may have specificity for monocytic blasts, and the combination of VP 16β213 and cyclophosphamide is synergistic in experimental leuk
Twenty patients with refractory AML were treated with mAMSA and VP 16-2 13 in combination to assess the toxicity and anti-leukemic activity of the two-drug regimen. Refractoriness was defined according to the response to induction therapy consisting of 6-thioguanine, cytosine arabinoside and daunoru
A novel fluorometric microculture cytotoxicity assay (FMCA), based on measurements of fluorescein diacetate (FDA) hydrolysis and DNA staining by Hoechst 33342, was used for drug sensitivity testing and detection of resistance reversal in acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) cell lines. The 72-hr assay
