This phase II study in recurrent high-grade glioma evaluated the response rate, toxicities, and time to treatment failure of high-dose carboplatin modulated by a 24-h infusion of thymidine (75 g/m(2)). The trial was based on preclinical data and a prior phase I study ( J. Clin. Oncol. 17, 2922-2931,
A phase I study of weekly iv thymidine (TdR) and 5-FU was carried out in patients with advanced colorectal carcinoma using two dosage schedules. Schedule 1 employed a 3-hour infusion of TdR (6-8 g/m2/hour) followed immediately by a bolus of 5-FU (100-200 mg/m2). Schedule 2 used a slightly larger
BACKGROUND
Preclinical data have indicated a synergistic interaction between docetaxel and capecitabine by means of taxane-induced up-regulation of thymidine phosphorylase (TP). On the basis of such premises, we conducted a phase II trial to determine the activity and tolerability of weekly
We have endeavoured to find immunological indications of chronic virus infection in patients with chronic fatigue syndrome (myalgic encephalomyelitis) and to investigate immune responsiveness to viruses in such patients in comparison with normal subjects and patients with muscular dystrophy. Levels
We have studied a woman with an apparent receptor-mediated resistance to cortisol on the basis of elevated 24-h mean plasma cortisol levels and increased urinary free cortisol. Plasma ACTH concentrations were normal but she was resistant to adrenal suppression by dexamethasone. No stigmata of
A semi-automated analysis system based on video image analysis was developed to count labelled and unlabelled nuclei of Schwann cells which had been exposed to tritiated thymidine followed by processing for autoradiography. A Model 3000 Image Analysis system (Image Technology Corporation, Deer Park,
A blinded cross-sectional study was carried out with 99 women, 44 of whom had silicone breast implants. Group I consisted of 55 healthy volunteer women without breast implants; group II comprised 13 volunteer women with breast implants or explants who felt healthy; group III comprised 21 volunteer
OBJECTIVE
To report the preliminary results of a Phase I/II study combining radiotherapy and in situ gene therapy (adenovirus/herpes simplex virus thymidine kinase gene/valacyclovir) with or without hormonal therapy in the treatment of prostate cancer.
METHODS
Arm A: low-risk patients (T1-T2a,
A certain number of HIV-infected patients (about 17% in our series) manifest symptoms of cortisol resistance--weakness, weight loss, hypertension, chronic fatigue and intense mucocutaneous melanosis--symptoms which are also typical of Addison's disease. The diagnosis of cortisol resistance is
TAS-102 is an oral combination treatment comprised of an antimetabolite, trifluridine, a thymidine-based nucleoside analog, and tipiracil hydrochloride, at a molar ratio of 1:0.5. This antimetabolite has demonstrated efficacy in clinical trials, including a global phase 3 trial in metastatic
BACKGROUND
Telbivudine (LdT) is an L-nucleoside that is structurally related to lamivudine. It is highly selective for hepatitis B virus (HBV) and inhibits viral DNA synthesis. LdT was approved by the US Food and Drug Administration on October 25, 2006, for the treatment of chronic HBV infection in
Capecitabine is a fluoropyrimidine carbamate capable of exploiting the high concentrations of thymidine phosphorylase in tumor tissue to achieve activation preferentially at the tumor site. Thymidine phosphorylase activity is high in renal cell carcinoma tissue. Interferon alfa has been proved to be
This multicenter study has revealed that treating a woven polyethylene terephthalate (polyester) ligament with a radiofrequency (RF)-generated glow discharge (RFGD) produces marked benefits in terms of increased cell attachment and proliferation on the implant surface. In vitro tests of the same
The influence of an anabolic androgenic steroid (AAS) on thymidine and amino acid uptake in rat hindlimb skeletal muscles during 14 days after a single exhaustive bout of weight lifting was determined. Adult male rats were divided randomly into Control or Steroid groups. Nandrolone decanoate was
We here present a family where three individuals in three generations had varying degrees of goiter, tachycardia, fatigue, hyperactivity, and learning disability. Serum T3 and free T4 were elevated, whereas TSH was normal or slightly increased. The clinical findings in combination with the hormone
