VAMP regimen or VAMP chemotherapy is a combination chemotherapy regimen including Vincristine.

VAMP chemotherapy can refer to any of :

  • Vincristine for 4 days, doxorubicin (Adriamycin) for 4 days and methylprednisolone for 5 days per cycle. e.g. for kidney disease. - With the addition of cyclophosphamide this becomes C-VAMP.
  • Vincristine, doxorubicin (Adriamycin), methotrexate and prednisone used in combination with radiation therapy for the treatment of low-risk childhood Hodgkin lymphoma.
  • Vincristine, amethopterin, 6-mercaptopurine, and prednisone for leukemia.
