    Description / Table of Contents: Zusammenfassung 11 Patienten mit einer Haarzell-leukämie wurden zwei bis sechs Monate lang mit Beta-Inferferon (IFN-β; 3 × 4 Mio. I.E./Woche i.v.) behandelt. Von 8 auswertbaren Patienten erreichten 3 eine partielle Remission, 2 eine minor response, während 3 Patienten keine Verbesserung ihrer hämatologischen Werte zeigten. Als Nebenwirkungen traten die für die IFN-Therapie typischen grippeähnlichen Symptome bei 9 der 11 behandelten Patienten auf. Bei einem Patienten wurde ein Rückgang der Knochenmarksinfiltration unter IFN-β beobachtet. Diese Daten zeigen, daß IFN-β bei der Haarzelleukämie wirksam ist.
    Notes: Summary Eleven patients with histologically proven hairy-cell leukemia were treated for 2 to 6 months with a natural beta-interferon (β-IFN) preparation (3 × 4 million units week i.v.). Three of the eight evaluable patients experienced a partial response, two a minor response, and three no improvement. A reduction of the hairy-cell infiltration of the bone marrow was observed in one patient. Typical IFN side-effects with flu-like symptoms were noted. These results demonstrate that IFN-β has some clinical efficacy in hairy-cell leukemia.

    Notes: Summary During intermittent melphalan-prednisone therapy the area under the plasma concentration-time curve of melphalan increased by an average of 45% after oral or intravenous administration of the drug in myeloma patients during the initial three courses at six-week intervals. The rise in melphalan plasma concentrations could not be referred to an alteration in melphalan elimination, metabolism, erythrocyte/plasma partition ratio, or protein binding. A possible explanation could be that covalent binding sites of melphalan were successively saturated during intermittent treatment, resulting in higher drug concentrations during successive courses of therapy.
