Extremely low levels of HIV reservoirs are achievable in some chronically-infected patients durably controlled with cART. Despite the multiplicity and heterogeneity of factors governing the persistence of HIV reservoirs, such low levels of HIV reservoirs seem necessary, though probably not
The therapeutic product to be evaluated is autologous CD34+ hematopoietic stem cells (HSC) modified by ex vivo transduction using the pCCLchimGP91WPRE lentiviral vector (G1XCGD Modified Autologous BM CD34 cells) containing the human CGD gene. The G1XCGD lentiviral vector is a 3rd generation
Using this approach, retrospective clinical data from our patient population has identified a significant number of HDMTX treatments associated with delayed MTX excretion (defined as a MTX level of >1 µmol/L at 42 hours and > 0.40 µmol/L at 48 hours) and secondary toxicity. From January 2012-May
OBJECTIVES:
- Demonstrate the capability of primary human leukemia samples to survive and proliferate in the zebrafish embryo.
- Confirm the anti-proliferative or toxic effects of known chemotherapeutics on the transplanted cells in vivo.
- Evaluate the effect of novel anticancer drugs and/or their
Background:
Patients with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection have higher incidence and recurrence rates of pneumonia and bacteremia caused by Streptococcus pneumoniae compared with the persons without HIV infection. Before the introduction of highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART),
Apoptotic induction in cancer cells is a sought after therapeutic goal. Most successful anticancer agents activate apoptosis pathways in the cancers they treat. Apoptotic pathways in cells appear to converge on a single family of enzymes, the caspases, which are proteases that dismantle the cell in
Metastatic prostate adenocarcinoma is initially dependent on exogenous androgens for survival and growth; hence, androgen blockade is a key initial intervention for these patients. Whether by orchiectomy or by biochemical blockade, androgen deprivation produces objective regression of prostate
In murine and human xenograft tumor models, administration of PS-341 weekly was associated with significant antitumor activity. In primate studies using a schedule of twice weekly for six weeks, the highest PS-341 dose not associated with severe irreversible toxicity was 0.067 mg/kg/dose or 0.80
Chromatin Demethylation Apart from histone acetylation deacetylation, promoter hypermethylation is another important and relevant mechanism involved in gene transcription regulation (reviewed in Herman, 2003). Chromatin remodeling might thus be also targeted using nucleoside analogues, such as 5
OBJECTIVES: I. Determine the maximum tolerated dose and dose-limiting toxicity of PS-341 in patients with hematologic malignancies. II. Determine the pharmacodynamics of this drug in these patients. III. Determine response to this drug in these patients. IV. Determine the correlation between
