Zolinza, Idarubicin, Cytarabine combo

This is some encouraging news for higher risk patients. When I emailed Dr. Guillermo Garcia-Manero a few months ago about this regimen, he was very pleased with the results, especially for those that went on to transplant.

http://www.mdsbeacon.com/news/2012/0...ents-ash-2011/

Here are the highlights that I saw:

85% overall response rate with 76% complete remission rate
Median survival at a median of 82 week follow-up was 82 weeks

For more details, go to the ASH article that was linked in the article.

Zolinza, Idarubicin and Cytarabine

Hi Dan,
Very interesting article with the best response rate I have seen . The problem is that they don't tell us how many of the patients that had MDS. As far as I understand most of the patients had AML.
Kind regards
