    Alert Number 100

    Telling It Like It Is

    Date: June 20, 2024

    The latest issue of the journal "Leukemia" has an important article that reports unexpectedly high hematological toxicity, serious infections and even death, following therapy with Campath + G-CSF. The story just goes to show that it is no slam dunk predicting the results one will get with drug combinations. That is why we need the research and the clinical trials. We are grateful to the Ohio State research team for their rapid publication of these disturbing results. Good news is sexy and everyone likes a winner. But rapid publication of unexpected problems and toxicity saves lives by giving us and our doctors a very important heads-up. You can read the story in Campath plus G-CSF

    Be well,

    Chaya
