New drug combo targets Tough-to-Treat leukemia

NCT ID NCT02737046

Summary

This study tested whether adding the drug belinostat to standard zidovudine (AZT) therapy could help control adult T-cell leukemia-lymphoma (ATLL), a rare and aggressive blood cancer. Fifteen adults with ATLL received the combination treatment to see if it could eliminate cancer cells from the blood and bone marrow. Researchers measured how many participants achieved a deep response, how long they stayed disease-free, and monitored side effects.
