MACOP-B chemotherapy for the treatment of high grade and intermediate grade non Hodgkin's lymphoma.
1990
Between Nov. 1985 and Nov. 1988, sixty-three patients with high grade malignant (hg) and intermediate grade malignant (img) Non Hodgkin's Lymphoma (NHL) were treated with MACOP-B (methotrexate, doxorubicin, cyclophosphamide, vincristine, prednisone and bleomycin). Thirty-seven patients received MACOP-B as an upfront treatment modality, whereas twenty-six patients had relapsed disease and received MACOP-B as a salvage protocol. Four weeks after termination of therapy, 75% of patients with de novo NHL and 72% of the patients with relapsed NHL were in complete remission (CR). In the group of newly diagnosed NHL, 22% achieved partial remission (PR) and 3% no change (NC), whereas in the group wi…
Induction Therapy with Idarubicin, Ara-C, and VP-16, Followed by G-CSF and Maintenance Immunotherapy with Interleukin-2 for High-Risk AML
1996
Aggressive chemotherapy followed by administration of G-CSF and maintenance therapy with interleukin-2 was evaluated in 16 patients with advanced myelodxysplastic syndrome, 47 patients with AML evolving from myelodysplastic syndromes, 3 patients with subacute myeloid leukemia and 5 patients with secondary AML. Median age was 59 years (range: 23 to 76 years). All patients achieving a complete remission (CR) after two induction courses went on to receive two consolidation courses, to be followed by randomization to either high-dose or low-dose IL-2 to evaluate the potential of IL-2 to eliminate residual leukemic cells and to prolong the duration of CR. Patients ≤ age 55 with an HLA identical …
Chemotherapy with Idarubicin, Ara-C,VP-16, Amsacrine, Followed by G-CSF and Maintenance Immunotherapy with Interleukin-2 for Patients with High-Risk …
1998
To improve the complete remission (CR) rate and to prolong CR duration in patients with advanced MDS, AML evolving from MDS, and secondary AML, a phase-III trial of aggressive chemotherapy followed by G-CSF was initiated in January 1992. Pts. achieving a CR were randomized to receive either high-dose or low-dose IL-2 to evaluate the potential of this cytokine to eliminate residual leukemic cells and to prolong the CR duration.
Low-Dose Aclacinomycin and Intermediate-Dose Cytosine Arabinoside in Relapsed and Refractory Acute Myelogenous Leukemia
1990
Nineteen patients with relapsed or refractory acute myelogenous leukemia were treated with escalating doses of aclacinomycin (ACLA 20–30 mg/m2 daily for 5 days) and intermediate-dose cytosine arabinoside (Ara-C 1 g/m2 twice daily for 4 days). Most patients had received previous therapy with high- or intermediate-dose Ara-C plus mitoxantrone (HAM, IAM) and TAD (6-thioguanine, standard-dose cytosine arabinoside, and daunorubicin). Four patients had had repeated relapses and another three were treated for primary treatment failure following induction with HAM or I AM.
Therapie von Komplikationen subcutan implantierter venöser Kathetersysteme
1989
Komplikationen zwingen haufig zum vorzeitigen Ausbau subcutan implantierter Kathetersysteme (1, 2, 3). Durch konservative Masnahmen konnten die Explantation und somit die Unterbrechung einer lebenswichtigen Therapie vermieden werden.
Intensive chemotherapy with idarubicin, ara-C, etoposide, and m-AMSA followed by immunotherapy with interleukin-2 for myelodysplastic syndromes and h…
2000
Intensive chemotherapy followed by treatment with interleukin-2 (IL-2) was evaluated in a prospective, randomized, multicenter trial including 18 patients with refractory anemia with excess of blasts in transformation (RAEB-T), 86 patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) evolving from myelodysplastic syndromes, and six patients with secondary AML after previous chemotherapy. Median age was 58 years (range: 18-76 years). Forty-nine patients (45%) achieved a complete remission (CR) after two induction cycles with idarubicin, ara-C, and etoposide, 52% of them aged/=60 years and 35% aged60 years (p=0.06). After two consolidation courses, patients were randomized to four cycles of either high-…
