From January through February 2004, chemotherapy was combined with antimicrobial drug therapy according to the R-DHAP protocol (which includes dexamethasone, the chemotherapy drugs cytarabine and cisplatin, and the monoclonal antibody drug rituximab) for persisting symptoms from the B-cell lymphoma. The first was a clinical study with GTI-2040 in combination with cytarabine for the treatment of acute myeloid leukemia. Larson and a team of collaborators in 16 countries randomly assigned 1,106 CML patients to two groups, each of which received either a daily imatinib pill or a standard CML treatment--injections of interferon-alpha boosted with a compound called cytarabine. |
