abstract: Nineteen patients with advanced lymphocytic or lymphocytic-histiocytic lymphomas were treated with Prednimustine (NSC-134087, Leo 1031). The median induction dose was 25 mg/m2 a day by mouth (range 11-42). Ten patients had previously received radiation or chemotherapy, or both. Four patients had a complete remission and eleven a partial remission. The median duration of remission was 12.5+ months for complete responders and 5 months for partial responders. Thirteen patients had a moderate myelosuppression. One patient had urticaria and pruritus and refused further treatment.
