Frequently Asked Questions

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

What have been patients' experiences with Romidepsin?

"Romidepsin receives a 1 on our safety scale because it is only in Phase 1 trials, meaning that there is limited data to support its efficacy and safety."

Answered by AI

What are the most popular reasons that Romidepsin is prescribed?

"Romidepsin is not only used to treat hodgkin disease, but also systemic anaplastic large cell lymphoma, peripheral t-cell lymphoma, and previously untreated."

Answered by AI

Are there any other drugs similar to Romidepsin that have been trialed before?

"As of right now, 79 separate trials are underway to test the efficacy of Romidepsin. Of those, 9 are in Phase 3. Most of the research is based out of Montvale, New jersey, though there are 2,123 total locations running trials for this medication."

Answered by AI

What are researchers aiming to discover through this clinical trial?

"Celgene Corporation, the sponsor of this clinical trial, reports that the primary objective of this study is to evaluate the dose-limiting toxicities (DLTs) of the combination of brentuximab vedotin and romidepsin. This will be measured over an average treatment period of 64 weeks. Secondary objectives of this trial include assessing the overall safety and tolerability of the combination therapy by monitoring adverse events, and measuring the overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS) in terms of length of time."

Answered by AI

How many patients are researchers hoping to enroll in this trial?

"That is correct. The clinical trial, which is currently recruiting participants, was originally posted on February 22nd, 2017. The most recent edit was made on July 6th, 2022. A total of 27 patients are needed for the study, which is being conducted at a single site."

Answered by AI

What sets this trial apart from others that have come before it?

"As of now, there are 79 Romidepsin trials being conducted in 649 locations and 33 countries. The first Romidepsin trial was completed in 2011 and only involved 79 patients. However, since then, 94 more studies have been completed."

Answered by AI

Are new patients being accepted into this research project currently?

"That is correct, the study is still looking for enrollees. According to the website, the clinical trial was first posted on February 22nd, 2017 and was most recently updated on July 6th, 2022. They are only admitting 27 people in total at a single location."
