thalidomide and Lassitude

thalidomide has been researched along with Lassitude in 53 studies

Thalidomide: A piperidinyl isoindole originally introduced as a non-barbiturate hypnotic, but withdrawn from the market due to teratogenic effects. It has been reintroduced and used for a number of immunological and inflammatory disorders. Thalidomide displays immunosuppressive and anti-angiogenic activity. It inhibits release of TUMOR NECROSIS FACTOR-ALPHA from monocytes, and modulates other cytokine action.
thalidomide : A racemate comprising equimolar amounts of R- and S-thalidomide.
2-(2,6-dioxopiperidin-3-yl)-1H-isoindole-1,3(2H)-dione : A dicarboximide that is isoindole-1,3(2H)-dione in which the hydrogen attached to the nitrogen is substituted by a 2,6-dioxopiperidin-3-yl group.

A modified ACR 50 response was defined as a participant who met the following 3 criteria for improvement: • ≥ 50% improvement in 78 tender joint count (includes 10 additional joints often involved in psoriatic arthritis: the first carpometacarpal [CMC] and the distal interphalangeal [DIP] joints of the fingers); • ≥ 50% improvement in 76 swollen joint count; and • ≥ 50% improvement in at least 3 of the 5 following parameters: ◦ Patient's assessment of pain (measured on a 100 mm VAS); ◦ Patient's global assessment of disease activity (measured on a 100 mm VAS); ◦ Physician's global assessment of disease activity (measured on a 100 mm VAS); ◦ Patient's self-assessment of physical function (Health Assessment Questionnaire - Disability Index [HAQ-DI]); ◦ C-reactive protein.

Timeframe: Baseline (Day 1), Week 12 (Day 85) and Week 24

Percentage of Participants With Enthesitis

Enthesitis is inflammation of the entheses, the sites where tendons or ligaments insert into the bone. Enthesitis is characterized by swelling, pain, and tenderness around the calcaneous, and occasionally by effusion in the bursa associated with this joint. The enthesitis assessment is an evaluation of inflammation at the insertions of the Achilles tendon into the calcaneous and of the plantar fascia into the calcaneous. Inflammation at 1 or more insertions on either the right or left side constituted a positive assessment. (NCT00456092)
Timeframe: Baseline and Week 12

Percentage of Participants With Enthesitis in the Extension Phase

Enthesitis is inflammation of the entheses, the sites where tendons or ligaments insert into the bone. Enthesitis is characterized by swelling, pain, and tenderness around the calcaneous, and occasionally by effusion in the bursa associated with this joint. The enthesitis assessment is an evaluation of inflammation at the insertions of the Achilles tendon into the calcaneous and of the plantar fascia into the calcaneous.

Progression Free Survival (PFS)

Progression-free survival was defined as the time from the start of study drug therapy to the first observation of disease progression or death due to any cause, whichever came first. Participants who withdrew for any reason or received another NHL therapy including stem cell transplantation without documented progressive disease were censored on the date of their last adequate response assessment indicating no progression (or last adequate assessment prior to receiving other NHL therapy). Participants who were still active without progressive disease at the time of the data cut-off date were censored on the date of their last adequate response assessment. (NCT00179673)
Timeframe: From enrollment through study completion. Median duration on study was 4.4 months with a maximum of 32 months

The Duration of Response

The duration of response was calculated as the first response assessment demonstrating evidence of at least a partial response to the first documentation of progressive disease (as determined by computed tomography scan) or death due to NHL, whichever occurred first. For participants without documentation of progression, the duration of response was censored at the last date of tumor assessment indicating no progression. Median was based on the Kaplan-Meier estimate. (NCT00179673)
Timeframe: From enrollment through study completion. Median duration on study was 4.4 months with a maximum of 32 months

Number of Participants With Adverse Events (AEs)

"The Investigator determined the relationship between the administration of study drug and the occurrence of an AE as suspected if the temporal relationship of the adverse event to study drug administration made a causal relationship possible, and other drugs, therapeutic interventions, or underlying conditions did not provide a sufficient explanation for the observed event.~The Investigator graded the severity of AEs according to National Cancer Institute Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (NCI CTCAE) criteria and the following scale:~Grade 1 = Mild~Grade 2 = Moderate~Grade 3 = Severe~Grade 4 = Life threatening~Grade 5 = Death~A Serious AE is defined as any AE which results in death, is life-threatening, requires inpatient hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization, results in persistent or significant disability/incapacity, is a congenital anomaly/birth defect or constitutes an important medical event."
