The only way to improve the diagnosis and treatment of Myalgic Encephalomyelitis / Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (ME/CFS) is to better understand the mechanisms underlying its pathophysiology. Central nervous system dysfunctions play a major role in ME/CFS and help explaining patients' symptoms, such as
This study will investigate immunogenomic changes with pembrolizumab alone and in combination with a selective class I histone deacetylase (HDAC) inhibitor (entinostat).
The study will enroll 20 subjects with a confirmed diagnosis of MIBC (cT2-T4aN0M0) who are ineligible for (based on consensus
Crohn's Disease (CD), a major sub-type of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), is a chronic, life-long condition characterized by relapsing inflammation of the gastrointestinal (GI) tract. Despite recent advances in IBD therapeutics, a significant number of patients with CD continue to have significant
McArdle disease (Glycogen storage disease type V, GSDV) is an inherited metabolic disorder of skeletal muscle. Affected patients are unable to perform strenuous exercise due to a congenital absence of the enzyme muscle glycogen phosphorylase, essential for glycogen metabolism. This enzyme deficiency
The emergence of epigenetic therapies has identified pan-class deacetylase (DAC) inhibitors as effective therapeutic agents for the treatment of lymphoma. While pan-class DAC inhibitors have led to FDA indications, clinical activity has been limited to the T-cell derived malignancies. The mechanism
Breast cancer is the most common cancer amongst women worldwide, with a lifetime risk of 7-8% in women and incidence rates ranging from 19.3-89.7 per 100,000 women in developing and developed countries. More than 1,383,500 cases of invasive breast cancer are estimated to be diagnosed worldwide,and
Spinal muscular atrophy is an autosomal recessive disease of varying severity that destroys motor neurons, resulting in atrophy and weakness of the voluntary muscles. Around 95% of the cases demonstrate a homozygous deletion/mutation involving exon 7 in SMN1 (survival motor neuron 1), resulting in
Background:
Trabectedin (ET-743) is a natural product derived from the marine tunicate Ecteinascidia turbinata. It binds to the minor groove of DNA and interacts with various transcription factors resulting in cell cycle arrest. It also inhibits transcription coupled nucleotide excision repair
Phase I/II studies of the novel proteasome inhibitor, carfilzomib, have shown it to have significant activity in patients with advanced multiple myeloma, including patients with bortezomib refractory disease. This drug, unlike bortezomib, has minimal neurotoxicity and appears to have minimal
Belinostat, developed by CuraGen, belongs to a new class of hydroxymat-type histone deacetylase (HDAC) inhibitors. HDAC inhibitors, including Belinostat, has shown marked in vitro and in vivo activity against a number of solid tumors and hematological cancers. Belinostat has proven to be effective
Vorinostat is a histone deacetylase inhibitor (HDAC) that is FDA-approved for treatment of mycosis fungoides (MF), and has shown activity as a radiation-sensitizer in preclinical studies. Treatment of various cell lines [glioblastoma multiforme (GBM), non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), melanoma]
Despite surgical excision and radiation therapy, approximately 50% of patients treated for localised STS will experience local or distant relapse.
Recurrent STS : current therapeutic strategies Although some patients may be salvaged with surgery, chemotherapy using doxorubicin-based regimens is in
ITF2357 is an orally active, synthetic inhibitor of histone deacetylase (HDAC) enzyme, which has been demonstrated to selectively inhibit the in-vitro production of pro-inflammatory cytokines and to exhibit in-vivo anti-inflammatory effects, both in animals and in humans.
Crohn's Disease (CD) is a
Breast cancer is sensitive to a range of chemotherapeutics agents, but despite initial sensitivity, resistance typically emerges, resulting in disease relapse or progression. Exploration of novel classes of agents in the treatment of breast cancer is therefore in urgent need. Vorinostat or SAHA, a
