Abstract
Prednimustine, a chlorambucil ester of prednisolone, was administered to 16 patients with non-Hodgkin lymphomata (NHL) and 14 patients with chronic lymphocytic leukaemia (CLL), all previously treated with steroids and alkylating agents. Response was obtained in 8 patients with NHL and 11 patients with CLL. Two NHL patients had long-lasting complete remissions. Median duration of response for lymphomata was 12 weeks, for CLL more than 15 weeks. Delayed reversible and rather pronounced myelosuppression was the major side-effect observed in median 6 weeks from the start of Prednimustine with a median duration of 4 weeks.Entities:
