Toxicity of laromustine plus high-dose cytarabine in patients with relapsed acute myeloid leukemia.
We are writing to clarify the interpretation of results contained within a paper by Giles et al.1 In their abstract, the authors state, “The [complete remission] CR rate was significantly higher for the laromustine/[high-dose cytarabine] HDAC group (35% vs 19%, P .005). However, the 30-day mortality rate and median progression-free survival were significantly worse in this group compared with H...
متن کاملOutcomes of Six-Dose High-Dose Cytarabine as a Salvage Regimen for Patients with Relapsed/Refractory Acute Myeloid Leukemia
Relapsed/refractory acute myeloid leukemia (RR-AML) is associated with poor prognosis and long-term disease-free survival requires allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (allo-HCT). Limited data exists, regarding the optimal regimen to obtain remission prior to allo-HCT. Single agent high-dose cytarabine (10-12 doses administered every 12 hours) has been previously used as induction ther...

متن کاملA Successful Treatment of Relapsed Primary CNS Lymphoma Patient with Intraventricular Rituximab Followed by High-Dose Chemotherapy with Autologous Stem Cell Rescue
The prognosis for patients with primary central nervous system (CNS) lymphoma (PCNSL) who relapse after the initial response is usually poor. A standard treatment for relapsed PCNSL has not yet been identified because of the heterogeneity of the therapies employed and the lack of large, prospective clinical trials. We describe a 46-year-old relapsed PCNSL patient who was successfully treated wi...
متن کاملFive years of experience with rituximab plus high-dose dexamethasone for relapsed/refractory chronic lymphocytic leukemia
INTRODUCTION High-dose methylprednisolone (HDMP) in combination with rituximab is active in the treatment of relapsed/refractory chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL), but serious infections are frequent. Recently published data suggested that high-dose dexamethasone might be equally effective as HDMP despite a lower cumulative dose. MATERIAL AND METHODS We performed retrospective analysis of 60...
