Brief Summary: Phase II trial to study the effectiveness of arsenic trioxide in treating patients who have relapsed or refractory lymphoma or leukemia Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die
Detailed Description: PRIMARY OBJECTIVES
I To evaluate the safety and toxicity profile of arsenic trioxide in patients with relapsed or refractory low-grade lymphomas
II To determine the incidence of complete and partial responses to arsenic trioxide in patients with previously treated low-grade lymphomas
III To evaluate basic science correlates of arsenic trioxide activity in order to improve our understanding of the mechanism of action for arsenic trioxide in patients with low-grade lymphomas
OUTLINE This is a nonrandomized open-label study
Patients receive arsenic trioxide IV over 1-4 hours on days 1-5 Treatment repeats every 21 days for a maximum of 6 courses in the absence of unacceptable toxicity or disease progression Patients with responding or stable disease may receive 6 additional courses
Patients are followed every 3 months for up to 2 years
