Esthesioneuroblastoma (olfactory neuroblastoma) is an uncommon neuroectodermal tumor. Its biological activity ranges from indolent growth to local recurrence and rapid widespread metastasis. Treatment options consist of surgical resection followed by radiation therapy for primary lesions and the
Clinical reports and descriptions of chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS) and chronic ciguatera fish poisoning (CCFP) show great similarities in clinical symptomology. These similarities in the literature suggested the exploration of lipids in sera of CFS, CCFP, and other diseases with the membrane
Neuroblastoma is an embryonal malignancy of the autonomic nervous system and is the most common extracranial tumor of early childhood. However, neuroblastoma in adults is rare with an overall incidence of 1 in 10 million adults/year. Adults with neuroblastoma have a significantly worse BACKGROUND
Pulmonary nocardiosis frequently develops as an opportunistic infection in cell-mediated immunosuppressive patients, and sometimes requires differentiation from pulmonary malignancy. Ectopic adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) syndrome (EAS) is a neoplastic disorder which leads to impaired
Purpose: The cyclin-dependent kinase (CDK) 4/6 inhibitor, ribociclib (LEE011), displayed preclinical activity in neuroblastoma and malignant rhabdoid tumor (MRT) models. In this phase I study, the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) and recommended phase II dose (RP2D), safety, pharmacokinetics (PK), and
Pyridostigmine bromide (PB) is a reversible acetylcholinesterase (AChE) inhibitor and the first-choice for the treatment of symptoms associated with myasthenia gravis and other neuromuscular junction disorders. However, evidence suggested that PB could be associated with the Gulf War Illness
BACKGROUND
Pemetrexed is a multi-targeted antifolate that inhibits key enzymes involved in nucleotide biosynthesis. We performed a phase 2 trial of pemetrexed in children with refractory or recurrent solid tumors, including CNS tumors, to estimate the response rate and further define its toxicity
OBJECTIVE
To determine the toxicity profile, dose-limiting toxicities, and maximum tolerated dose of ABT-751 administered orally once daily for 7 days, repeated every 21 days.
METHODS
Patients who were =18 years of age, with relapsed or refractory solid tumors, and who were able to swallow
Hu14.18K322A is a humanized anti-GD2 monoclonal antibody with a single point mutation that reduces complement-mediated cytotoxicity, with a maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of 60 mg/m2 daily for 4 days in children with recurrent/refractory neuroblastoma. We report additional results of a
Xenotropic murine leukemia virus-related virus (XMRV) was first identified in human prostate cancer tissue and was later found in a high percentage of humans with chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS). While exploring potential disease mechanisms, we found that XMRV infection induced apoptosis in SY5Y
BACKGROUND
EZN-2208 is a water-soluble PEGylated conjugate of the topoisomerase inhibitor SN38, the active metabolite of irinotecan. Compared to irinotecan, EZN-2208 has a prolonged half-life permitting extended exposure to SN38. EZN-2208 has demonstrated clinical tolerability and antitumor activity
BACKGROUND
Long-term survival of children with cancer has reached rates of up to 80%. Nevertheless, continued research devoted to further improvement of survival rates especially for patients with high-risk illnesses is necessary. Recent studies have shown direct positive effects on tumor reduction
BACKGROUND
ASP3026 is a second-generation anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK) inhibitor that has potent in vitro activity against crizotinib-resistant ALK-positive tumors. This open-label, multicenter, first-in-human phase I study ( NCT01284192 ) assessed the safety, pharmacokinetic profile, and
BACKGROUND
Diphtheria toxin (DT) has shown anticancer activity in both experimental models and humans but its adverse effects stopped further developments. Cross-reacting Material 197 (CRM197) is the product of a single missense mutation (Gly52 to Glu) within fragment A of DT. It has been shown to
An open-label, phase I dose-escalation trial was performed in adult patients with various solid cancers to identify the maximum tolerated dose (MTD), to assess the safety, pharmacokinetic profile and anti-tumour activity of the new prodrug CAP7.1. The prodrug is converted to its active moiety
