thalidomide and Lymphocytopenia

thalidomide has been researched along with Lymphocytopenia in 7 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Thalidomide: A piperidinyl isoindole originally introduced as a non-barbiturate hypnotic, but withdrawn from the market due to teratogenic effects.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.

Vital signs (body temperature, seated blood pressure, heart rate, and respiration rate) were recorded at screening on Days 1, 8, 15, and 22 of Cycles 1 and 2, on Days 1 and 15 of Cycle 3, and at the end of treatment. Blood pressure (Diastolic and Systolic) and heart rate were recorded after the participant sat quietly for at least 5 minutes. Clinical relevance of vital sign data was determined by the investigator. (NCT01241292)

The quantification of elotuzumab in human serum was performed using a validated enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Cmax was measured in micrograms per milliliter (µg/mL). Samples of serum were obtained at: Cycle 1, Day 1: 0 hour (h), 30 minutes (min) 2 h post dose; Day 8: 0h, 2 h; Day 15: 0h, 30 min; Day 22: 0h, 30min, 2h. Cycle 2, Day 1, 22 0h, 2h.

Number of Participants With Best Overall Response - Treated Participants

Complete response (CR) and Partial Response (PR) were based on the European Group for Blood and Bone Marrow Transplant (EBMT) Criteria. Very Good Partial response was derived from the International Myeloma Working Group (IMWG) criteria. Participants who had a reduction in M-protein or plasmacytoma but did not meet the EBMT criteria for PR were classified as minimal response (MR). Hematologic, radiologic and/or clinical assessments were done every cycle starting with cycle 2. Each cycle is 4 weeks in length (Day 1, Day 8, Day 15, Day 22). Cycle 2 began on study Day 29. CR=negative immunofixation 6 weeks, <5% plasma cells, no increase in size or number of lytic lesions, complete disappearance of extramedullary plasmacytoma. PR=≥50%reduction in M-protein for 6 weeks, ≥90% reduction of urinary light chain excretion or < 200 mg/24hours for 6 weeks, ≥50% reduction in size of extramedullary plasmacytoma present at baseline, no increase in size or number of lytic lesions.
