Fludarabine (FLU) is a new antimetabolite chemotherapeutic agent with promising activity in lymphoproliferative disorders and, in particular, in low-grade non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (LG-NHL). Recently, a few reports have described interesting results using FLU in polychemotherapy regimens. In order to evaluate FLU in combination with other antineoplastic agents, we used a combination of FLU and idarubicin, called the FLU-ID regimen, to treat 10 patients with recurrent LG-NHL. The FLU-ID regimen was as follows: FLU 25 mg/sqm i.v. on days 1 to 3 and idarubicin 12 mg/sqm i.v. on day 1. Of the 10 patients, 2 (20%) achieved complete response (CR), 5 (50%) partial response, and the remaining 3 showed no benefit from the treatment. The 2 CR patients are still in remission after 6 and 8 months, respectively. The median duration of overall survival of all patients was 8 months. The major toxic effects observed were neutropenia (40%) and infections and/or febrile episodes (15%); no fatalities due to drug side effects occurred. These results indicate the efficacy of the FLU-ID regimen in inducing a good remission rate with moderate side effects in recurrent LG-NHL.
