Hi Mimi,
Clofarabine is tested in 81 clinical trials (clin trials gov) often in combination with other drugs for high risk MDS and other diseases. From Anderson Cancer Center they reported a study where 61 patients only got Clofarabine either orally or intravenously during the ASH conference 2008.
30% of the patients got a complete remission, 12% a partial remission and 5% haematological improvement but they don’t tell us during how many weeks the patients were improved. Perhaps it is better to take the drug orally and not in very high doses.
