Use of this site is subject to you reading and agreeing with the terms set forth in the disclaimer. If this is your first time visiting, we suggest you read the tutorial.

Is there a regimen missing from this list? Would you like to share a different dosage/schedule or an additional reference for a regimen? Have you noticed an error? Do you have an idea that will help the site grow to better meet your needs and the needs of many others? You are invited to contribute to the site.

11 regimens on this page
11 variants on this page


Note: the majority of the regimens on this page are intended for multi-system Langerhans cell histiocytosis (MS-LCH); many patients with other forms of LCH, such as pulmonary (PLCH) do not necessarily need antineoplastic treatment.

  • Cladribine (Leustatin) 9 mg/m2 IV over 2 hours once per day on days 2 to 6, should not be administered simultaneously with cytarabine
    • Children weighing less than 10 kg received a dose of 0.3 mg/kg/day
