NIH clinical trial shows promise for people with treatment-limited, life-threatening disorder. A clinical trial at the National Institutes of Health (NIH) has shown that an experimental treatment for patients with severe aplastic anemia resulted in a 94% survival rate without…
Key Takeaways The combination therapy achieved a 91% overall response rate, with 45% complete remission and 46% marrow complete remission rates. Median overall survival was 30 months, with 1- and 3-year survival rates of 68.8% and 40.7%, respectively. SHOW MORE Decitabine…
