Continuous treatment of non-Hodgkin's malignant lymphoma with prednimustine (Leo 1031). 1978

L Håkansson, and I Könyves, and L G Lindberg, and T Möller

The effect of Prednimustine was evaluated in 37 patients with generalised non-Hodgkin's lymphomas. The patients were divided into three groups according to dosage and previous treatment. Totally, in all three groups, 22 complete and 10 partial remissions were observed. During follow-up, five of the complete responders and all partial responders have relapsed. Leucopenia and thrombocytopenia were induced in several patients, but were always moderate and reversible after withdrawal of the drug. In some patients with a history of peptic ulcer or diabetes mellitus, these conditions were aggravated.
