Scientists test new drug cocktail in fight against tough blood cancers

NCT ID NCT01846390

Summary

This early-stage study aimed to find the safest dose of a new four-drug combination (romidepsin plus GDP) for patients with two types of aggressive lymphoma that had returned after prior treatment. The main goal was to determine how much of the new drug could be added without causing severe, intolerable side effects. Researchers tested increasing doses in small groups of up to 21 patients to identify the maximum amount that could be tolerated.
