vinca major/fatigue

BACKGROUND Vinca alkaloid agents have been widely used in several different types of malignancies. However, cancer cells, ultimately, develop resistance to these agents. Therefore, the development of new agents with improved efficacy is warranted. Recently, a new synthetic vinca alkaloid,

Phase I study on a new vinca alkaloid derivative, KW-2307(vinorelbine), was conducted by multiple institutions in 40 patients with a variety of malignant tumors. KW-2307 was given intravenously by single administration or by weekly repeated for 4 weeks (hereinafter as the repeated administration).

OBJECTIVE To review the pharmacology, pharmacokinetics, in vitro and in vivo efficacy, and safety profile of vinflunine in the treatment of various solid tumors. METHODS A literature search was conducted using keywords included vinflunine, vinca alkaloid, Javlor, and solid tumor in PubMed/MEDLINE

Vinca alkaloids are widely used in the medical treatment of breast cancer. Our study aimed to evaluate the therapeutic activity of a new vinca alkaloid derivative, S12363 (vinfosiltine), which is 36 and 72 times more cytotoxic in vitro than vincristine and vinblastine, respectively. Because phase I

OBJECTIVE To review the drug profile and nursing implications of a new vinca alkaloid, vinorelbine tartrate (Navelbine, Burroughs Wellcome Co., Research Triangle Park, NC). METHODS Published articles, abstracts, professional communications, drug manufacturer, and personal experience with vinorelbine

EC-145, under development by Endocyte, is a conjugate composed of desacetylvinblastine monohydrazide linked through a peptide spacer to the targeting moiety folic acid, for the potential intravenous treatment of folate receptor-overexpressing tumors, in particular ovarian and lung cancers. In vitro
