This study includes patients with relapsed acute leukemia who have previously been treated
with standard treatment that is still present and there is no curative treatment option
available. Researchers are studying whether the drug Gemtuzumab Ozogamicin, followed by an
infusion of blood cells called leukocytes from a donor, can stimulate the immune system to
potentially fight the leukemia. Gemtuzmab ozogamicin is a class of drugs known as an antibody
drug conjugate. The drug is given on days 1,4,7. It is infused, attaches to cells with a
certain marker on the surface (the majority of which would be leukemia cells). The drug is
then internalized and the chemotherapy drug becomes activated. Gemtuzumab is currently FDA
approved for the treatment of acute myeloid leukemia.

The infusion of leukocytes to stimulate the immune system to fight your leukemia is
investigational and has not been proven to cure cancer. This combination of Gemtuzumab
Ozogamicin and donor leukocytes is not an FDA approved treatment and is investigational.

Initially a total of 6 patients will be included in the study to assess the safety of the
treatment. Once 6 patients have been treated and no unacceptable toxicities are seen, more
patients will be enrolled. The study will treat up to 18 patients on the study.


Inclusion Criteria:

- Histologic confirmation of acute myeloid leukemia (AML)

- Recurrence or progression (including refractory disease) of AML after at least 1 prior
standard treatment with progression within 6 months from last treatment.

- No curative treatment option is available

-> 4-weeks since prior chemotherapy or radiation to cellular therapy infusion.

- Age equal to or greater than 18 years.

- Patients with a history of invasive second malignancy who are disease free for > 2
years.

- Patients must have an expected life expectancy of at least 2 months at the time of
initiation of treatment

- No active systemic infections allowed.

- Patients who have relapsed after standard autologous stem cell infusion are eligible
as long as they meet all inclusion criteria and no exclusion criteria. These patients
must be out more than 6 months from cell infusion to be eligible for enrollment.

- DLCO > 40% with no symptomatic pulmonary disease.

- LVEF > 40% by MUGA or echocardiogram.

- Creatinine <1.5x ULN or any serum creatinine level associated with a measured or
calculated creatinine clearance of >40 mL/min, AST and ALT < 2.5x ULN, Total Bilirubin
< 2 x ULN

- Women of childbearing potential and sexually active males must use 2 forms of
effective contraception method from time of consent through 6 months after completing
treatment (whether last treatment is infusion or drug).

- Not pregnant or nursing. Women of child bearing potential must have a negative serum
or urine pregnancy test (minimum sensitivity 25 IU/L or equivalent units of HCG)
within 7 days prior to beginning of treatment (drug). Post-menopausal women (surgical
menopause or lack of menses >12 months) do not need to have a pregnancy test, please
document status.

- Performance status < 2 (or KPS 70)

Exclusion Criteria:

- Evidence of HIV infection.

- Any uncontrolled severe, concurrent illness which in the opinion of the treating
physician would make this protocol treatment unreasonably hazardous for the patient.

- Oxygen dependent obstructive pulmonary disease.

- Failure to demonstrate adequate compliance with medical therapy and follow-up

- Significant medical or psychiatric illness that would impair the ability to
participate in protocol therapy.

- Previous allogeneic stem cell transplant

- Patients who have had previous purine analog (fludarabine, pentostatin, 2-CDA)
treatment or treatment with alemtuzumab within 1 year of entering the study

- Previous history of Veno-occlusive disease/Sinusoidal Obstruction Syndrome

- Active hepatitis B or C

- Patients with known active central nervous system leukemia

- Patients with prior treatment of Gemtuzumab ozogamicin
