At present, no therapeutic strategy is available to maintain responses achieved in patients treated with chemotherapy. This Phase IB study was aimed at identifying the optimal biological dose of chronic maintenance therapy using s.c. interleukin (IL) 2 and oral 13-cis retinoic acid (RA) in patients
13-cis-retinoic acid (isotretinoin) and interferon-alpha have limited activity as single agents in advanced cancer. Preclinical data indicate that these agents have different mechanisms of action and, in combination have greater activity (that is, the ability to modulate growth and differentiation)
OBJECTIVE
Preclinical and clinical data support the study of retinoids and interferon-alpha (IFN-alpha) in advanced squamous cell carcinoma of the uterine cervix (SCC). This phase II randomized trial of the Southwest Oncology Group sought to estimate the response rate for IFN-alpha plus either
A 62-year-old woman with acute promyelocytic leukaemia was treated with all-trans retinoic acid. On day 2 she suffered with dyspnoea and general fatigue. Marked hypoxia suggested the occurrence of retinoic acid syndrome. She underwent endotracheal intubation and mechanical ventilation with the
A 46-year-old woman with acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL) was treated with all-trans retinoic acid (ATRA) and chemotherapy according to the AML-92, M3 regimen of the Japan Adult Leukemia Study Group (JALSG). Between days 7 and 18 of therapy, she suffered chest discomfort, fever, cough, dyspnea and
Four weeks after the introduction of a therapeutic regimen with 80 mg 13-cis-retinoic acid/day, a 16-year-old male patient developed oozing hypergranulation with vulnerable masses within acne lesions. These local symptoms were accompanied by fever, fatigue, weight loss, polyarthralgia and myalgia,
The aim of this study was to investigate the possible therapeutic effect of 13-cis-retinoic acid plus interferon alpha-2a in patients with inoperable squamous cancer of the esophagus. Patients with advanced, measurable, histologically confirmed squamous carcinoma of the esophagus with an Eastern
Two recent reports have described major clinical benefits from all-trans-retinoic acid (tRA) therapy of patients with promyelocytic leukemia (APL). This paper describes the first patient with a blast crisis of chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML-BC) who responded to oral tRA therapy. In vitro marrow
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
Treatment of patients with metastatic renal cell cancer (RCC) with interferon-alpha-2a (IFN) and 13-cis-retinoic acid (CRA) was first reported to be tolerable on an outpatient basis and to yield a 30% objective response rate. We sought to confirm these preliminary results by conducting a phase II
A 30 years-old man was administrated with dizziness and fatigue for half month, and the big toe on his left foot got the prolonged bleeding of wound complicated with fever 7 days before the admission. The physical examination (PE) discovered that the case suffered from the anemic appearance, lower
OBJECTIVE
The goals of this study were to determine the safety, toxicity, and pharmacokinetics of TAC-101, a novel synthetic retinoic acid receptor-alpha (RAR-alpha) selective retinoid, in patients with advanced cancer.
METHODS
Twenty-nine patients at two centers received oral TAC-101 at doses
Between April 1993 and June 1994, 29 patients (pts) with unresectable, locally advanced, or metastatic non-small cell lung cancer were treated with a combination of p.o. trans-retinoic acid (TRA), 150 mg/m2/day, in three divided doses and s.c. IFN-alpha, 3 x 10(6) units/day. The age range was 41-80
Retinoids have been shown to be potent inhibitors of epithelial carcinogenesis. Recent evidence has demonstrated that retinoid actions are mediated through nuclear receptors, which are proteins encoded by the retinoic acid receptor and retinoid X receptor gene families. These receptors are activated
