How Treanda Affects Patients

The study found that there were no significant changes in the QTc interval (a measure of the time between the start of the heart's electrical activity and the end of it) up to an hour after administration.

How Treanda works in the body

Bendamustine is a drug that can form strong chemical bonds to molecules. It uses this ability to create links between DNA bases, which leads to the death of cells. Bendamustine works on both active and inactive cells, but exactly how it causes cell death is unknown.

Patient Review

Treanda for Chronic Lymphoid Leukemia

I started my CLL treatment with Treanda and Rituxan. My WBC count was 383. After four rounds of Treanda with Rituxan, I'm down to WBC of 5. Minimal side effects. It's been good!

Treanda for Indolent B-Cell Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma

I've had three two-day treatments thus far and my white blood cell counts have been low. I'm waiting for them to come back up, but other than that, this drug hasn't caused me much trouble other than some fatigue. It really helps to drink lots of water though- six to ten bottles a day.

Treanda for Indolent B-Cell Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma

The first three treatments weren't too bad. I only experienced nausea for a day and a half, and fatigue for five to seven days afterward. However, after my fourth treatment I needed the neulasta shot because my counts weren't recovering. Also, the fatigue held on for almost three weeks after that fourth treatment. Even though it was tough, I still functioned fine-- just not as enthusiastically. So far no mouth sores or hair loss, but I have two more treatments to go. We did a scan before my third treatment and there was no sign of disease, so it seems to be working well.

Treanda for Chronic Lymphoid Leukemia

Please be cautious and do not take this medication if you are also taking allopurinol. Unfortunately, there has been at least one reported death from Stephens Johnson Syndrome as a result of taking the two together.

Treanda for Follicular Lymphoma

The first treatment helped a lot by reducing the size of my lymph node. However, after the fourth treatment I started to experience a rash that spread from my legs to my torso and arms. The steroid cream and benedryl help somewhat, but I'm worried about the fifth and sixth treatments.

Treanda for Chronic Lymphoid Leukemia

After each of the first two treatments, I felt incredibly exhausted to the point where I would fall asleep sitting up. It was hard to manage since I didn't know this was going to be a common side effect. Thankfully, treatments are only every three weeks and only last for an hour.

Treanda for Chronic Lymphoid Leukemia

My platelets were the issue and after two treatments they're up 52 from 10. My white blood cell count is down to 5 from 13. I had some burning in my arm during the IV, but this week my arm has just been sore to the touch. Hoping for the best.

Treanda for Indolent B-Cell Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma

The biggest side effect I have experienced is extreme fatigue. The first treatment took about one week to recover; the second treatment has taken almost two weeks. I will find out next week if I will have a 3rd. The first Neulasta shot gave me spasms of pain controlled by Tylenol. The second was insignificant as far as side effects go but kept my counts up. I have had slight nausea, loss of appetite with the Treanda and hope the scans next week prove it is working.

Patient Q&A Section about treanda

These questions and answers are submitted by anonymous patients, and have not been verified by our internal team.

What is Treanda used for?

"This medication is used to treat certain types of cancer, such as lymphoma and chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL). Bendamustine belongs to a class of cancer chemotherapy drugs known as alkylating agents. These drugs work by killing cancer cells or slowing their growth."

Answered by AI

Is Treanda a chemo drug?

"Chemotherapy drugs work by destroying rapidly growing cells in the body. Treanda is a kind of chemotherapy known as an alkylating agent."

Answered by AI

What is the difference between Bendeka and Treanda?

"Teva replaced Treanda with Bendeka in 2016 because Bendeka is compatible with polycarbonate or acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene (ABS)-containing infusion equipment, and Treanda was not. Bendeka also has a shorter infusion time. Bendeka has the same indications for use and side effects as Treanda."

Answered by AI

How is Treanda administered?

"The recommended dosage for CLL is 100 mg/m2 given intravenously over 30 minutes on Days 1 and 2 of a 28-day cycle, for up to 6 cycles."

Rituximab + Tafasitamab + NK Cells for Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma

18+
All Sexes
Cleveland, OH

This research study is for people who have relapsed or refractory B-cell non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL) that has not responded to two or more lines of therapy. The purpose of this study is to identify the recommended dose of allogeneic NK cells in combination with IL-2, Tafasitamab and Rituximab for the treatment of relapsed or refractory B-cell non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. NK cells are an investigational (experimental) treatment which means they are not approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). NK cells are a type of lymphocyte that's part of the body's natural immune system, and they can kill cancer cells by creating pores in the cancer cell membranes and inducing apoptosis (programmed cell death). Participants in this study will receive lymphodepleting chemotherapy, as well as Allogeneic NK cells, Tafasitamab and Interleukin-2 (IL-2) by an intravenous (IV) infusion. Participants are expected to complete one cycle, and they may be eligible to complete a second cycle of the same regiment if they have stable disease, partial or complete remission at the end of the first cycle. Participants will be in this study for about 12 months.

Venetoclax + Obinutuzumab + Epcoritamab for Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia

18+
All Sexes
Duarte, CA

This phase II trial tests the effect of venetoclax and obinutuzumab followed by epcoritamab in treating patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) or small lymphocytic lymphoma (SLL) that have not previously received treatment. Venetoclax is in a class of medications called B-cell lymphoma-2 (BCL-2) inhibitors. It may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking Bcl-2, a protein needed for cancer cell survival. Obinutuzumab is a monoclonal antibody that may interfere with the ability of cancer cells to grow and spread. A monoclonal antibody is a type of protein that can bind to certain targets in the body, such as molecules that cause the body to make an immune response (antigens). Epcoritamab, a bispecific monoclonal antibody, binds to a protein called CD3, which is found on T cells (a type of white blood cell). It also binds to a protein called CD20, which is found on B cells (another type of white blood cell) and some lymphoma cells. This may help the immune system kill cancer cells. The combination of venetoclax and obinutuzumab is a standard treatment for CLL/SLL and has been found to be safe and effective. Adding epcoritamab to standard treatment with venetoclax and obinutuzumab may lead to deeper and longer-lasting responses in patients with untreated CLL/SLL.

CMV-MVA Triplex Vaccine for Cancer

18 - 75
All Sexes
Duarte, CA

This phase Ib trial tests the safety, side effects, and how well cytomegalovirus (CMV)-modified vaccinia Ankara (MVA) Triplex vaccine works in enhancing CMV-specific immunity and preventing CMV viremia in patients undergoing haploidentical hematopoietic stem cell transplant. Haploidentical stem cell transplantation (haploHCT) has advanced to become the predominant procedure for patients lacking a matched donor. Compared to matched related donor transplants, the rate of significant CMV infection is higher in patients undergoing a haploHCT. Significant CMV infection is associated with an increased risk of complications and death. Vaccination is the main preventative approach to limit complications and death in immunocompromised patients at high risk of post-stem cell transplant infections. CMV-MVA Triplex vaccine, is a CMV vaccine based on the attenuated poxvirus, modified vaccinia Ankara (MVA), developed to enhance CMV-specific immunity in both healthy stem cell transplant donors and stem cell transplant patients to prevent significant CMV infection post-stem cell transplant. Giving CMV-MVA triplex vaccine may be safe, tolerable and/or effective in enhancing cytomegalovirus (CMV)-specific immunity and preventing CMV viremia in patients undergoing a haploHCT.
