Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion

  • DISEASE CHARACTERISTICS:
  • Newly diagnosed acute myeloid leukemia (AML)
  • Meets customary criteria for AML with ≥ 20% bone marrow blasts (by WHO classification)
  • Patients with \< 20% bone marrow blasts and cytopenia or myelodysplastic syndromes (e.g., chronic myelomonocytic leukemia, refractory anemia (RA), RA with excess blasts, RA with ringed sideroblasts) are eligible provided 1 of the following criteria is met:
  • Karyotypic abnormality characteristic of de novo AML (t\[8;21\]\[q22;q22\], inv\[16\]\[p13q22\], t\[16;16\]\[p13;q22\], or 11q23 abnormalities)
  • Unequivocal presence of megakaryoblasts (by WHO classification)
  • Isolated myeloid sarcoma (i.e., myeloblastoma or chloroma) allowed regardless of bone marrow results
  • Infants \< 1 month of age with progressive disease\* are eligible NOTE: \*Infants \< 1 month of age with AML may be given supportive care until it is clear that the leukemia is not regressing (i.e., the disappearance of peripheral blasts and the normalization of peripheral blood counts)
  • Patients with Down syndrome ≥ 4 years of age are eligible

  • All available first-degree family members (parents and siblings) must be HLA typed
  • No syngeneic donors
  • Matched alternative donor criteria (for patients with high-risk disease):
  • HLA-A, -B, -C, and -DRB1, identical or 1 antigen or allele mismatched donor
  • HLA-A, -B, and -DRB1 4 of 6 antigen matched unrelated cord blood donor
  • Mismatched family member donor with ≥ 1 haplotype match or 5 of 6 antigen phenotypic match
  • PATIENT CHARACTERISTICS:
  • Not pregnant or nursing
  • Negative pregnancy test
  • Fertile patients must use effective contraception
  • PRIOR CONCURRENT THERAPY:
  • No prior chemotherapy, radiation therapy, or any antileukemic therapy
  • Topical or inhalation steroids for other conditions allowed
  • Intrathecal cytarabine given at diagnosis allowed
  • No other prior treatment for AML
  • No concurrent peripheral blood stem cell transplantation in patients with matched family donor
