( e events were reported. Grade 4lymphop...)Phase 2 Clinical Results of Ganite Plus Standard Therapy in,Patients with Relapsed/Refractory Lymphoma Presented at ASCO,Health

"Myelosuppression, particularly neutropenia, is a substantial clinical problem in patients with relapsed NHL," said Dr. Scott E. Smith, MD, PhD, Assistant Professor of Medicine at Loyola, who was the principal investigator of this trial. "Based on these favorable results, we have organized a followup trial of GaRD used in combination with another standard regimen that we expect to initiate in a Chicago-based clinical collaboration."

About Ganite

Ganite was originally developed by the U.S. National Cancer Institute as a cancer chemotherapy drug. A separate series of studies showed that the drug markedly reduced the loss of calcium from bone - an observation that suggested the drug may be useful in hypercalcemia, as well as other conditions associated with loss of bone mass. Ganite is approved in the U.S. for treatment of symptomatic patients with cancer related hypercalcemia that is resistant to hydration.

Important Safety Information about Ganite(R) (gallium nitrate injection)

Ganite is contraindicated in patients with severe renal impairment (serum creatinine > 2.5 mg/dL). While Ganite was generally well tolerated by patients who received the drug in clinical trials, concurrent use of Ganite with other potentially nephrotoxic drugs like aminoglycosides and amphotericin B may increase the risk for developing severe renal insufficiency in patients with cancer-relapsed hypercalcemia. If use of a potentially nephrotoxic drug is indicated during Ganite therapy, Ganite should be discontinued and hydration for several days is recommended.
