tyrosine/fatigue

Treatment-related fatigue significantly limits quality of life among chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) patients receiving tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs), yet no interventions to reduce this symptom have been studied. We examined preliminary feasibility and efficacy of cognitive behavioral therapy

A trial-level meta-analysis of randomized phase II/III controlled trials in renal cell carcinoma (RCC) and other malignancies was conducted to systematically determine the relative risk (RR) of fatigue, a common side effect associated with single agent therapy with vascular endothelial growth factor

BACKGROUND Renal cell carcinoma (RCC) represents 1% to 4% of adult malignancies, and approximately 33% of patients with RCC present with metastatic disease and have a poor prognosis. Better understanding of RCC tumor biology has led to the development of several molecularly targeted agents, such as

Not only has the use of tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKI) for the treatment of metastatic renal cell carcinomas (mRCC) changed the therapeutic options for this disease significantly, but with the occurrence of typical side effects this therapy also poses a challenge for the treating physician.

We conducted this systematic review to fully investigate the fatigue of epidermal growth factor receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitors (EGFR-TKIs) in cancer patients. The approved and clinical used EGFR-TKIs were selected for the present meta-analysis. The relevant studies of the randomized controlled

The fatigue associated with five newly approved vascular endothelial growth factor receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitors (VEGFR-TKIs) (regorafenib, vandetanib, cabozantinib, lenvatinib, axitinib) is poorly understood. We conducted this systematic review to fully investigate the fatigue associated with

Fatigue is a common side effect of tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) therapy in chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) patients. However, the prevalence of TKI-induced fatigue remains uncertain and little is known about predictors of fatigue and its relationship with physical activity. In this study, 220 CML

BACKGROUND In primary biliary cirrhosis (PBC) and primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC) fatigue is a major clinical problem. Abnormal amino acid (AA) patterns have been implicated in the development of fatigue in several non-hepatological conditions but for PBC and PSC no data are available. This

Effects of a serotonin re-uptake inhibitor and oral amino acid supplementations on physical and mental performance as well as neuroendocrine variables were investigated. 10 male subjects cycled in four trials until exhaustion. Participants ingested a placebo in trial (T) I, 20 mg paroxetine in T II,

Chronic exposure to interferon (IFN)-alpha, an innate immune cytokine, produces high rates of behavioral disturbances, including depression and fatigue. These effects may be mediated by the actions of IFN-alpha on dopamine (DA) metabolism in the basal ganglia. Diminished conversion of phenylalanine

BACKGROUND Ginsenoside Rg3 has shown multiple pharmacological activities and been considered as one of the most promising approaches for fatigue treatment. However, little is known about the cellular and molecular mechanisms of Rg3 on anti-fatigue and the effect of Rg3 on dopaminergic system has not

To assess tolerability, pharmacokinetics (PK), pharmacodynamics (PD) and clinical activity of the dual epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) 1 and 2 (HER2) tyrosine kinase inhibitor BIBW 2992. An escalating schedule of once-daily (OD) BIBW 2992 for 14 days followed by 14 days off medication was

Tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) have dramatically improved the outcome of renal cell carcinoma (RCC) patients. The use of these agents requires early and appropriate management of side effects such as hematologic adverse events (HAE), in order to avoid unnecessary dose reductions and transitory or

Three patients with advanced renal-cell cancer were treated with sunitinib 50 mg daily for 4 weeks followed by a rest period of 2 weeks because of progressive disease. The first patient developed stomatitis and a painful blister on his foot. Complaints disappeared after temporary discontinuation of

Therapies which target VEGF and mTOR are now available for patients with metastatic renal cell carcinoma, but there is a continued need to develop agents for patients who become refractory to these initial agents. Tandutinib is a relatively selective inhibitor of type III tyrosine kinase receptor
