Brief Summary: RATIONALE Drugs like liposomal amphotericin B may be able to relieve fungal infection which can be a side effect of chemotherapy Colony-stimulating factors such as sargramostim may increase the number of immune cells found in bone marrow or peripheral blood and may help a persons immune system recover from the side effects of chemotherapy It is not yet known whether receiving liposomal amphotericin B plus sargramostim is more effective than receiving liposomal amphotericin B alone in treating patients with invasive fungal infection

PURPOSE Randomized double-blinded phase III trial to compare the effectiveness of liposomal amphotericin B with or without sargramostim in treating patients with invasive fungal infection
Detailed Description: OBJECTIVES I Evaluate the benefit of the cytokine sargramostim GM-CSF in resolving suspected or proven fungal infections in patients treated with systemic antifungal therapy liposomal amphotericin B who have been entered on protocols MRC-LEUK-AML11 AML12 or UKALLXII II Assess in vitro the effect of GM-CSF on monocyte function on cells taken from these patients

OUTLINE This is a double blind supportive care study for patients on MRC-LEUK-AML11 AML12 or UKALLXII or their successors Patients are stratified according to proven or suspected fungal infection Patients receive daily doses of intravenous liposomal amphotericin B based on stratification All patients are then randomized to also receive either sargramostim GM-CSF arm I or a placebo arm II by subcutaneous injections intravenous infusion over 4-6 hours is permitted if subcutaneous route is unacceptable Treatment continues for 42 days Some patients with localized lesions that clinically improve should be considered for surgical removal of the residual lesion Patients may continue therapy after 42 days at the physicians discretion Patients are assessed weekly until the end of study particularly on day 28 and at end of study

PROJECTED ACCRUAL There will be 200 patients 100 in each arm accrued into this study
