Vindesine, etoposide (VePesid), and prednisolone (VEP) have been evaluated as a second-line combination regimen in 20 patients with grade II non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL) who relapsed during or after first-line intensive therapy. The overall response rate was 40% (20% complete, of 9 to 13+ months'
Seventeen patients with recurrent or refractory non-Hodgkin's lymphoma were treated with EMVP (Etoposide 75 mg/m2 i.v. d 1-5, Methotrexate 100mg/m2 i.v. d 1, Vindesine 3 mg/body i.v. d 1, Prednisolone 60 mg/m2 p.o. d 1-5), repeating every 3 weeks. Six complete responses (35%) and five partial
192 evaluable patients with advanced inoperable non-small-cell lung cancer were treated with either mitomycin-C/ifosfamide (A), mitomycin-C/vindesine (B), or cisplatin/etoposide (C) in a prospective randomized trial. The response rates for each treatment arm were 30.0% (A), 22.7% (B), and 25% (C),
We treated 27 patients with regionally advanced non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) with two cycles of neoadjuvant chemotherapy with etoposide, vindesine, and cisplatin. Twenty-three patients were evaluable for response; 13 had a partial response while ten patients had stable disease or disease
We conducted a randomized trial testing etoposide (120 mg/m2 d1-3) + vindesine (3 mg/m2 d1) with or without cisplatin (60 mg/m2 d1) in patients with SCLC. A total of 8 courses were given at 3-week intervals. 221 patients were registered and 201, 95 in the CEV arm and 106 in the EV arm, were eligible
Thirty-two patients with advanced Hodgkin's lymphoma resistant to cyclophosphamide, vincristine, procarbazine, and prednisone (COPP) and doxorubicin, bleomycin, vinblastine, and dacarbazine (ABVD) were treated with a salvage chemotherapy regimen consisting of lomustine, etoposide, vindesine, and
BACKGROUND
The modest improvement in median survival of advanced non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) by cisplatin-based chemotherapy has led to the current opinion that clinical benefit for the patient is at least as important an end-point as objective response rate (ORR) or survival. Clinical
Seventy-one patients with epidermoid carcinoma of the esophagus were treated with a three-drug combination of cisplatin, vindesine, and bleomycin. Forty-five patients had local-regional tumor and received chemotherapy prior to surgery or radiation therapy. Twenty-six patients with extensive disease
Forty-six patients with inoperable cancer and leukemia in relapse were given vindesine (VDS) either by iv bolus weekly at doses ranging from 2.0 to 5.5 mg/m2 or by 24-hour continuous infusion weekly at doses ranging from 1.0 to 7.0 mg/m2 of estimated body surface area. VDS was well-tolerated by
BACKGROUND
Thirteen-cis retinoic acid (RA) has been shown to have growth-inhibitory and differentiative activity on non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) cells in vitro. This promoted the rationale for combining RA with three active drugs, cisplatin (CDDP) vindesine (VDS) and mitomycin-c (MMC) in the
Since July 1980, thirty patients with inoperable adenocarcinoma of the lung have been treated with ANV. Induction chemotherapy (Adriamycin 35 mg/m2 i.v. days 1 and 22, ACNU 2 mg/kg i.v. day 1, vindesine 2 mg/m2 i.v. days 1, and 22) was given for 2 courses (or 1 course) at 3-week intervals.
A total of 36 patients with advanced non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) were treated with a combination of 5-day continuous i.v. infusion of cisplatin (25 mg/m2 daily), bolus infusion of vindesine (3 mg/m2) on days 1 and 8, and s.c. injection of recombinant human granulocyte-colony-stimulating
53 patients with advanced and measurable cancerr were treated with vindesine in doses of 3 mg/m2 (pretreated) and 4 mg/m2 (non pretreated) i.v. once weekly. 48 patients are evaluable for response: of 14 patients with squamous cell carcinoma of the lung, 1 partial remission (PR), 1 minor response
Combination chemotherapy using vindesine and cisplatinum has been reported to be active in non-small cell lung carcinoma (NSCLC). In an attempt to reduce the potential neurotoxicity of this combination, and to assess the role of cisplatinum, a randomized trial has compared vindesine and cisplatinum
The purpose of this study was to compare the activity and toxicity of epirubicin-vindesine (EV) with mitoxantrone-vindesine (MV) in patients with metastatic breast cancer. A total of 295 patients was randomly allocated to treatment with vindesine 3 mg/m2 combined with either epirubicin 40 mg/m2 or
