amifostine anhydrous and Weight Reduction

amifostine anhydrous has been researched along with Weight Reduction in 4 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.

"Weight loss was monitored."1.35Clinically meaningful differences in patient-reported outcomes with amifostine in combination with chemoradiation for locally advanced non-small-cell lung cancer: an analysis of RTOG 9801. ( Byhardt, R; Komaki, R; Langer, C; Machtay, M; Movsas, B; Nicolaou, N; Sarna, L; Swann, S; Wasserman, T; Werner-Wasik, M, 2008)
" 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.
