amifostine anhydrous and Thrombopenia

amifostine anhydrous has been researched along with Thrombopenia in 19 studies

Amifostine: A phosphorothioate proposed as a radiation-protective agent. It causes splenic vasodilation and may block autonomic ganglia.
amifostine : An organic thiophosphate that is the S-phospho derivative of 2-[(3-aminopropyl)amino]ethanethiol. A prodrug for the free thiol, WR-1065, which is used as a cytoprotectant in cancer chemotherapy and radiotherapy.

ExcerptRelevanceReference
" In Europe fotemustine (Muphoran) is widely used in the treatment of brain metastases in melanoma patients."9.08Combined treatment of stage IV melanoma patients with amifostine and fotemustine--a pilot study. ( Breitbart, E; Makki, A; Mohr, P; Schadendorf, D, 1998)
" The optimal dosing regimen with amifostine and carboplatin needs to be further evaluated in clinical studies."6.40Approaches to managing carboplatin-induced thrombocytopenia: focus on the role of amifostine. ( Budd, GT; Bukowski, RM; Ganapathi, R; McLain, D; Snyder, J; Wood, L, 1999)
"To test the hypothesis that the cytoprotectant amifostine attenuates the thrombocytopenia produced by carboplatin, the authors performed a randomized trial comparing treatment with carboplatin alone versus the combination of amifostine and carboplatin."5.08Randomized trial of carboplatin plus amifostine versus carboplatin alone in patients with advanced solid tumors. ( Adelstein, DJ; Budd, GT; Bukowski, RM; Capizzi, R; Ganapathi, R; McLain, D; Olencki, T; Pelley, R; Petrus, J; Zhang, J, 1997)

" Instead, patients in the control arms of some of the trials have been exposed to more prolonged use or increased dosage of toxic chemotherapy that placed them at greater risk of the toxicity the protective agent was designed to prevent (eg, cardiotoxicity in trials of dexrazoxane, myelosuppression or thrombocytopenia in trials of growth factors)."4.80Design and interpretation of clinical trials that evaluate agents that may offer protection from the toxic effects of cancer chemotherapy. ( Phillips, KA; Tannock, IF, 1998)
" The optimal dosing regimen with amifostine and carboplatin needs to be further evaluated in clinical studies."2.40Approaches to managing carboplatin-induced thrombocytopenia: focus on the role of amifostine. ( Budd, GT; Bukowski, RM; Ganapathi, R; McLain, D; Snyder, J; Wood, L, 1999)
"Thrombocytopenia is a manifestation of hematopoietic toxicity that, at present, can be treated only with platelet transfusions."2.39Amifostine and chemotherapy-related thrombocytopenia. ( Budd, GT, 1996)
" injection of 200 mg/kg WR-2721 at 5 min prior to the administration of this combination enabled us to increase the CBDCA dose from a nontoxic level of 45 mg/kg to a normally toxic dose of 60 mg/kg in non-tumor-bearing BALB/c mice while maintaining the 5FU dose at 100 mg/kg."1.28Effect of WR-2721 on the toxicity and antitumor activity of the combination of carboplatin and 5-fluorouracil.
