Hey Cheri!
The National Cancer Institute, which is part of NIH, defines "combination chemotherapy" as "treatment using more than one anticancer drug." It's my impression that that would include most chemo, since they generally hit you with more than one drug.
But you could definitely contact the research nurse or principal investigator and ask.
MD Anderson has a
Campath trial underway that doesn't include that exclusion -- you just have to have been off certain other treatments for a period of time before entering the trial.
Take care!
Greg
