FM (chemotherapy)
FM in the context of chemotherapy means a chemotherapy regimen used as first-line therapy in indolent lymphomas. In combination with rituximab it is called R-FM or RFM or FM-R or FMR.
The [R]-FM regimen consists of:
- (R)ituximab - an anti-CD20 monoclonal antibody that is able to kill both normal B cells and malignant ones;
- (F)ludarabine - an antimetabolite;
- (M)itoxantrone - a synthetic anthracycline analogue (an anthraquinone) that is able to intercalate DNA and prevent mitosis.[1]
This regimen is also sometimes used in some autoimmune disorders that are inherently sensitive to rituximab, fludarabine and mitoxantrone in monotherapies (e.g. multiple sclerosis).
Dosing regimen
| Drug | Dose | Mode | Days |
|---|---|---|---|
| (R)ituximab | 375 mg/m2 | IV infusion | Day 1 |

gollark: Yes, if there were no other bottlenecks then multiple glxgearseseses should be able to load *all* the shader stuff.
gollark: The GPU % in nvtop is, IIRC, just how many shader cores are running.
gollark: I assume it is running into other bottlenecks of some sort.
gollark: * glxgearses are
gollark: glxgears is only able to reach a maximum of 70% or so utilization.
