Liposomal muramyl tripeptide phosphatidyl ethanolamine (L-MTP-PE) is a synthetic biological investigational agent used for treating osteosarcoma. It has been used in both canine and human osteosarcoma to reduce pulmonary metastases, the most common pattern of treatment failure for sarcomas. L-MTP-PE
Novel therapy as part of sarcoma treatment schemas can enhance quality of life and is important in improving outcomes of high-risk sarcomas. Additional chemotherapy and biotherapy options to reduce tumor burden and prevent metastases include intra-arterial chemotherapy in osteosarcoma; intrapleural
Pediatric sarcomas are a heterogeneous group of malignant tumors of bone and soft tissue origin. Although more than 100 different histologic subtypes have been described, the majority of pediatric cases belong to the Ewing's family of tumors, rhabdomyosarcoma and osteosarcoma. Most patients that
OBJECTIVE
We have completed a phase I study, followed by three phase I/II studies, in patients with metastatic melanoma, renal cell carcinoma (RCC), and sarcoma in order to evaluate the safety, toxicity, and antitumor activity of Leuvectin (Vical Inc, San Diego, CA), a gene transfer product
Mifamurtide, also known as liposomal muramyl tripeptide phosphatidyl ethanolamine (L-MTP-PE), has been approved for the treatment of osteosarcoma in Europe. Mifamurtide's rational drug design employs MTP-PE for macrophage activation in a multilamellar liposome drug carrier, containing the synthetic
Osteosarcoma, the most frequent malignant primary bone tumor in pediatric patients is characterized by osteolysis promoting tumor growth. Lung metastasis is the major bad prognosis factor of this disease. Zoledronic Acid (ZA), a potent inhibitor of bone resorption is currently evaluated in phase III
