Clofarabine

Hi Mimi,
Clofarabine is tested in 81 clinical trials (clin trials gov) often in combination with other drugs for high risk MDS and other diseases. From Anderson Cancer Center they reported a study where 61 patients only got Clofarabine either orally or intravenously during the ASH conference 2008.

30% of the patients got a complete remission, 12% a partial remission and 5% haematological improvement but they don’t tell us during how many weeks the patients were improved. Perhaps it is better to take the drug orally and not in very high doses.
