A combination regimen of AZT plus interferon-alpha among 19 people with a lethal type of adult T-cell leukemia-lymphoma resulted in 5 complete remissions and 6 "major responses" to the treatment, according to a report by researchers at the University of Southern California published in the New England Journal of Medicine (June 29, 1995). AZT treatment resolved most of the psoriasis in 4 of 12 individuals with chronic psoriasis, according to Madeleine Duvic, MD, and colleagues at the University of Texas in Houston. Writing in the Journal of the American Academy of Dermatology, Duvic speculates that AZT may slow abnormal skin cell proliferation that occurs in psoriasis. See Research Notes for more on this study.
