(a) change to ADT and then gradually reduce the amount of corticoid given every other day or (b) following control of the disease process reduce the daily dose of corticoid to the lowest effective level as rapidly as possible and then change over to an alternate day schedule. Theoretically...
Methods A prospective, multicenter, phase III study was designed to compare (first randomization, R1) (1:1 ratio; stratification according to ISS stage) four 42-day cycles of bortezomib-melphalan-prednisone (VMP) given at the same dosing schedule reported in the VISTA study (NEJM 2008; 359:...
Recent animal studies suggest decreased toxicity when alternate-day cyclosporine dosing is used in solid organ transplants.31., 32. Because of the high lipid affinity of cyclosporine, we reasoned that gradual release from tissue stores might occur during the day cyclosporine was not given. This ...
The dose escalation/de-escalation schedule is shown in Supplemental Information (SI) #1Table1. All patients enrolled to the trial were treated with abiraterone acetate 1000 mg by mouth (PO) daily and prednisone 5 mg PO twice a day (bid) starting the same day when niclosamide was started. Th...
