Resistance to topoisomerase I (TOP1)-targeting drugs such as topotecan often involves upregulation of topoisomerase II (TOP2), with accompanying increased sensitivity to TOP2-targeting drugs such as etoposide. This trial was designed to investigate sequential topoisomerase targeting in the treatment of patients with high-risk acute myelogenous leukemia. An initial cohort of patients received topotecan and...
