OBJECTIVE
Prompted by recent demonstrations that all-trans-retinoic acid (all-trans-RA) had efficacy in acute promyelocytic leukemia, a phase I trial of all-trans-RA was conducted to establish the maximum-tolerated dose (MTD) before phase II testing.
METHODS
Forty patients with a histologic or
Retinoids have significant antiproliferative effect against chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML) cells in vitro. We conducted a pilot study to investigate the clinical effect of all-trans retinoic acid (ATRA) in patients with CML. Thirteen patients with Philadelphia chromosome (Ph)-positive CML in
We report a rare case of pseudotumor cerebri associated with all-trans retinoic acid (ATRA) treatment of acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL). An 18-year-old male was admitted to our hospital complaining of palpitations and shortness of breath; he was found to have APL. The administration of ATRA and
BACKGROUND
Thirteen-cis retinoic acid (RA) has been shown to have growth-inhibitory and differentiative activity on non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) cells in vitro. This promoted the rationale for combining RA with three active drugs, cisplatin (CDDP) vindesine (VDS) and mitomycin-c (MMC) in the
A 21-year-old Japanese woman was referred to our hospital because of severe anemia and thrombocytopenia. Bone marrow aspiration showed a hypercellular marrow with 91.5% promyelocytes. Cytochemical study and surface marker a diagnosis of acute promyelocytic leukemia. Because leukocyte count elevated,
OBJECTIVE
We conducted a study to evaluate the tolerance to and biologic effects of all-trans retinoic acid in patients with myelodysplastic syndrome.
METHODS
Thirty-nine patients with myelodysplastic syndrome were treated with oral all-trans retinoic acid for 6 weeks. Dose levels were 10, 25, 50,
Studies have suggested that both natural and synthetic retinoids have extensive chemopreventive activity against a variety of carcinogens in vivo and in vitro. We have previously shown that growth of human breast cancer cells can be inhibited by retinoids, and retinoic acid-binding proteins have
A 24-year-old man was admitted to the hospital for pancytopenia. Peripheral blood test and bone marrow aspiration demonstrated an increase in hypogranular promyelocytes. Karyotype analysis and RT-PCR showed 47, XY, t(15;17)(q22;q12), +12, and PML-RARA, respectively. The patient was diagnosed as
The combination of 13-cis-retinoic acid (13-cRA) and interferon (IFN)-alpha 2a has been reported to be highly active in previously untreated squamous carcinoma of the cervix. In this phase II study, 13-cRA was given at a dose of 1 mg/kg/day and IFN-alpha 2a was given subcutaneously at a dose of 3
OBJECTIVE
To determine the response rate and toxicity of oral 13-cis-retinoic acid (CRA) added to an outpatient regimen of subcutaneous interleukin-2 (IL2) and interferon-alpha (IFNA) in previously untreated patients with metastatic renal-cell carcinoma (RCC).
METHODS
Eligibility included a
BACKGROUND
The treatment of metastatic renal cell cancer remains unsatisfactory despite encouraging results with biotherapy. Pilot studies from other investigators have suggested that combining cis-retinoic acid and 5-fluorouracil (5FU) with interleukin-2 (IL-2) and interferon-alpha (IFN) may
A 55-year-old woman developed acute promyelocytic leukaemia during treatment with all-trans-retinoic acid and arsenic trioxide. Initially, she presented with symptoms of epigastric pain, vomiting, and nausea, and she developed acute pancreatitis. She was treated with parenteral nutritional
OBJECTIVE
To determine the maximum-tolerated dose (MTD) of all-trans-retinoic acid (ATRA) administered on an intermittent oral schedule with interferon-alpha2a (IFN-alpha2a) in children with refractory cancer, and whether the marked reduction in plasma ATRA concentrations observed with chronic daily
PURPOSE
The reported maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of single-agent belinostat is 1000 mg/m
2 given days 1-5, every 21 days. Pre-clinical evidence suggests histone deacetylase inhibitors enhance
retinoic acid signaling in a variety of solid tumors. We conducted a phase I
BACKGROUND
Interferon in combination with 5-fluorouracil has been shown to be active in squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) and adenocarcinoma (AC) of the esophagus. 13-cis-retinoic acid (CRA) has chemopreventive activity in SCC of the head and neck, and, in combination with interferon, has antitumor
