The results of a recent phase 3 international study
shows that the addition of Overlade OLIN to increase response rates and
slightly improves progression-free survival in patients with relapsed and
refractory multiple myeloma compared to treatment with Overlade alone myeloma
beacon. Specifically, 56 percent of patients responded to treatment with OLIN
(various) plug’s Overlade (boredom), compared to 41 percent of patients treated
with boredom plus placebo. However myeloma beacon, despite the improvement of
the responses, the difference in terms of survival free from progression
between the two treatment groups was not low. The OLIN more Overlade has been
associated with an increase of 25 days of progression-free survival compared to
treatment with Overlade plus placebo (from 6.8 months to 7.6 months) that
according to investigators suggest that the observed responses were not
sustainable myeloma beacon.
Researchers have also noted that, even if the
difference of these periods was statistically significant, it is not clear that
it is clinically significant myeloma beacon. The proportion of patients who had
severe to life-threatening side effects was similar in both treatment groups,
myeloma beacon although patients treated with OVERLADE ZOLINZA and had more
side effects related to the blood. Patients in the most Decade ZOLINZA had also
twice as severe nausea and diarrhea, and three times more fatigue than patients
in the placebo plus Elkader.
However, myeloma beacon the researchers describe as
manageable side effects because patients can tolerate the combination therapy
for a long period with the changes suitable dosages. They suggest that the
different treatment programs and OLIN Overlade can reduce the side effects of
the combination and therefore to increase its effectiveness myeloma beacon. However,
Dr. Ravi Vi, Washington University School of Medicine, who was not involved in
the study, probably another program will be studied in clinical
trials."Right now, I believe that very few doctors prescribe OLIN for
myeloma patients," said Dr. VI. "In addition myeloma beacon, Merck
[the company that markets OLIN], I think, has decided not to submit the
approval process of the FDA, despite being HIV-positive. I think that the
toxicity of the combination makes it unattractive."
According to Dr. Vi, the future belongs to the class
of drugs that OLIN myeloma beacon, known inhibitors of hailstone deacetylase (DACE)
inhibitors in multiple myeloma depends largely on the results of the so-called
PANORAMA - 1 study Phase 3 trial examining the efficacy and safety of another
DACE inhibitor Antoinette in combination with Overlade and hearthstone
(Dearborn) in patients with relapsed multiple myeloma. The preliminary results
of this study were presented at the 2011 American Society of Hematology annual
meeting (see Beacon news).
Myeloma beacon Molina, which is marketed by U.S.
pharmaceutical company Merck, is an oral drug that is already approved in the
U.S. for a certain type of lymphoma. It is also approved for similar use in
Canada and Australia, but not in Europe. ZOLINZA is a DACE inhibitor which acts
by increasing the production of proteins that slow cell division and cell death
event myeloma beacon. Two other drugs that have been studied as a potential
treatment of myeloma - Antoinette and Soda (Bromides) - belonging to the same
class of drugs. Results previous studies suggest that the addition of DACE
inhibitors can help Overlade kill the myeloma cells.
Two phase 1 clinical studies previously demonstrated
the activity of the combination of Overlade and OLIN myeloma beacon, with a
safety profile generally well tolerated. These results, as well as the need for
further therapies for the treatment of patients; with relapsed or refractory
myeloma, has prompted researchers to conduct this test. Myeloma beacon the
phase 3 study included 637 patients with relapsed and refractory multiple
myeloma that were treated in 174 treatment centers in 31 countries.
Patients in the study had received a median of two
prior therapies myeloma beacon. The above three most common treatments were
hearthstone (85 percent of patients in the most Overlade OLIN and 83 percent of
patients in the placebo group OVERLADE more), Mulholland (Valerian) (63 percent
and 69 percent, respectively) myeloma beacon, and thalidomide (Thalami) (52
percent and 60 percent, respectively).
In addition, myeloma beacon 36 percent of all patients
who had previously received a transplant of stem cells. About a quarter (24 per
cent) of all patients previously treated with Overlade, but none were resistant
(resistant) to the drug. Half of the participants in this study received 400 mg
Molina on days 1 to 14 and Overlade 1.3 mg/M on days 1, 4, 8 and 11 of a
treatment cycle of 21 days myeloma beacon.
