New approach aims to shield patients from Chemo's toxic aftermath

NCT ID NCT03684980

Summary

This study is testing whether adding a drug called glucarpidase (Voraxaze) to the standard treatment for central nervous system lymphoma helps the body clear the chemotherapy drug methotrexate more quickly. The goal is to see if this faster clearance reduces potential side effects and toxicity from methotrexate, which can linger in the body. The trial involves adults with this type of brain or spinal cord lymphoma who are receiving standard treatment.
