chlorambucil and Connective Tissue Diseases

chlorambucil has been researched along with Connective Tissue Diseases in 5 studies

Chlorambucil: A nitrogen mustard alkylating agent used as antineoplastic for chronic lymphocytic leukemia, Hodgkin's disease, and others. Although it is less toxic than most other nitrogen mustards, it has been listed as a known carcinogen in the Fourth Annual Report on Carcinogens (NTP 85-002, 1985). (Merck Index, 11th ed)
chlorambucil : A monocarboxylic acid that is butanoic acid substituted at position 4 by a 4-[bis(2-chloroethyl)amino]phenyl group. A chemotherapy drug that can be used in combination with the antibody obinutuzumab for the treatment of chronic lymphocytic leukemia.

Connective Tissue Diseases: A heterogeneous group of disorders, some hereditary, others acquired, characterized by abnormal structure or function of one or more of the elements of connective tissue, i.e., collagen, elastin, or the mucopolysaccharides.

Research Excerpts

" Although multi-drug therapy is known to produce myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) and acute myeloid leukemia (AML) in patients with CTD, treatment with single-agent therapy, particularly methotrexate, has rarely been associated with secondary MDS or AML."3.69Myelodysplastic syndromes and acute myeloid leukemia in connective tissue disease after single-agent chemotherapy. ( Farhi, DC; Rosenthal, NS, 1996)
"Azathioprine is a valuable alternative to slow-acting antirheumatic drugs in older patients with rheumatoid arthritis."2.38Azathioprine, cyclophosphamide and chlorambucil. ( Bacon, PA; Luqmani, RA; Palmer, RG, 1990)
"If the vasculitis is secondary to an underlying disease, such as lymphoma, therapy should be directed at the primary disease."2.37Pulmonary vasculitis. ( Fauci, AS; Leavitt, RY, 1986)
