ClinConnect Summary

Addition of granulocyte colony-stimulating factor may prevent neutropenia caused by chemotherapy, allowing more timely administration of chemotherapy and improved response.

Study drugs are administered in 28-day cycles to twenty-seven HIV-infected patients with Hodgkin's disease. ABVD (doxorubicin / bleomycin / vinblastine / dacarbazine) is administered on days 1 and 15 of each cycle, and G-CSF is given on days 2 through 14 and 16 through 28 of each cycle. All patients receive four cycles of treatment and are then restaged. Patients with a complete response (CR) following the initial four ...
