metformin has been researched along with African Lymphoma in 1 studies

Metformin: A biguanide hypoglycemic agent used in the treatment of non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus not responding to dietary modification. Metformin improves glycemic control by improving insulin sensitivity and decreasing intestinal absorption of glucose. (From Martindale, The Extra Pharmacopoeia, 30th ed, p289)

Trial Outcomes

1-Year Overall Survival Rate

The overall survival rate defined as percentage of participants in each treatment group who are still alive at 12 months. (NCT00500240)
Timeframe: 1 year

Interventionpercentage of participants (Number)
Conventional Care80.8
Intensive Insulin63.5

Overall Survival

Overall survival (OS) defined as the interval between the date of randomization and the date of death. Calculation of period was from baseline (date of randomization) to the death or last follow-up. (NCT00500240)
Timeframe: Baseline (date of randomization) to date of death or last follow-up (weekly during treatment then every 2 months post study treatment) up to 6 years

InterventionMonths (Median)

Progression Free Survival (PFS)

PFS was defined as the time interval between the date of complete remission and the date of relapse detection or death. Complete Remission (CR) defined as granulocyte count >1.0 × 10^9/L, platelet count >100 × 10^9/L, no abnormal peripheral blasts, and <5% blasts in normocellular or hypercellular bone marrow. (NCT00500240)
Timeframe: Date of complete remission to disease progression, assessed for approximately 6 years
