- Conditions
- Cutaneous T-cell LymphomaChronic Lymphocytic LeukemiaPeripheral T-cell Lymphoma
- Interventions
- Drug: Deoxycoformycin (DCF)
- Registration Number
- NCT00038025
- Lead Sponsor
- M.D. Anderson Cancer Center
- Brief Summary
The purpose of this study is to determine the side effects and antitumor response of patients with lymphoid malignancies to Deoxycoformycin (DCF)/Pentostatin.
- Detailed Description
Deoxycoformycin(DCF)/Pentostatin is a T-cell cytotoxic drug with previously reported responses in lymphoid malignancies but larger studies are needed.
