N A Kondrat'eva, and M L Gershanovich, and V B Kondrat'ev, and V N Lebedev, and V Ia Vialushkin

A coordinated clinical trial (phase II) of preparation VM-26 supplied by Sandos (Switzerland) was carried out at 5 clinics in a total of 61 patients with lymphoma. Two regimens of VM-26 administration were employed: (1) 5-day courses of 30 mg/m2 iv with 7-14 day intervals, or (2) two injections of 50 mg/m2 a week, within 4-6 weeks, depending on drug tolerance Out of 15 children with Hodgkin's disease, 50% of cases showed complete or partial remission. Out of 27 adults with Hodgkin's disease, response was registered in 69.9 and a pronounced effect--in 1 26.1%. Out of 14 patients with lymphosarcomas, response was observed in 78.5 and a pronounced effect--in 57.2%. Toxic effect was not the cause of treatment suspension in most cases.

D008228 Lymphoma, Non-Hodgkin Any of a group of malignant tumors of lymphoid tissue that differ from HODGKIN DISEASE, being more heterogeneous with respect to malignant cell lineage, clinical course, prognosis, and therapy. The only common feature among these tumors is the absence of giant REED-STERNBERG CELLS, a characteristic of Hodgkin's disease.

D011034 Podophyllotoxin A lignan (LIGNANS) found in PODOPHYLLIN resin from the roots of PODOPHYLLUM plants. It is a potent spindle poison, toxic if taken internally, and has been used as a cathartic. It is very irritating to skin and mucous membranes, has keratolytic actions, has been used to treat warts and keratoses, and may have antineoplastic properties, as do some of its congeners and derivatives.
