Filter by:GFH312 is a small molecule inhibitor of receptor-interacting serine/threonine protein-1(RIP1) kinase, a key regulator of the TNF-α downstream. RIPK1 can regulate the NF- κB signaling and necroptosis, a type of cell death which can trigger immune response and enhance inflammation. As such, GFH312 represents a novel, selective mechanism for the treatment of inflammatory conditions. This study is the first administration of GFH312 to humans. The purpose of the study is to evaluate the safety/tolerability and pharmacokinetics in healthy subjects. The intention of this study is to provide confidence in the safety of the molecule to inform progression to further proof-of-concept studies. The dose range proposed in this study is based on a low starting dose escalating to supra-therapeutic doses.
Colorectal cancer (CRC) in Egypt is advanced tumors at diagnosis. Although, the dramatic increase in efficacy, reduction of mortality, and improvements in survival by the use of standard doses of chemotherapy, some CRC patients suffer from severe toxicities besides disease progression. Use of chemotherapy less than the maximum tolerated dose, with no prolonged drug free breaks incapacitates the cells to engage in progression mechanisms, suggesting that it could be a better alternative to standard dose therapy with better toxicity profile
The aim of this study was to evaluate efficacy and safety of Alpha Lipoic Acid(ALA) as an adjuvant in the management of patients with acute phosphide poisoning.
Caesalpinia spinosa extract is rich in gallotannins and other well characterized polyphenols and has a major antioxidant activity. The extract shows immunomodulatory activity in healthy animals and anti-tumor activity in animals with breast cancer and melanoma as well. The use of P2Et in animals with tumors shows a synergistic effect with doxorubicin in drug-resistant cell lines. In addition, an increase in survival of transplanted animals with a TS/A breast cancer tumor model and treated with P2Et, in conjunction with calreticulin increase is observed. This open-label, single arm, Phase 1 study intends to assess the safety of P2Et extract obtained from Caesalpinia spinosa, with dose escalation, in healthy voluntary participants in Colombia.
--> This is a substudy of the main ESTxENDS trial (NCT03589989). Toxins outcomes should be considered secondary outcomes of the main smoking cessation outcome formulated in NCT03589989. Cigarette smoking is the leading cause of preventable death in Switzerland. Recently, electronic nicotine delivery systems (ENDS; also called vaporizer or electronic cigarette) have become popular with smokers who want to stop smoking or reduce their exposure to inhaled chemicals since ENDS use appears to be safer than tobacco smoking. Conventional cigarettes release toxic chemicals in tobacco smoke through thermochemical degradation and pyrolysis processes by combusting tobacco, but in ENDS toxicants can be released by heating up nicotine-containing e-liquids to produce vapor. The e-liquid in ENDS is mostly made of propylene glycol (PG) and vegetal glycerin (VG) in addition to nicotine, flavorings and sometimes alcohol as a conservation agent. The heating process of the e-liquid in ENDS, has been shown to release carcinogens such as some carbonyl and volatile organic compounds (i.e., formaldehyde, acetaldehyde and acrolein). Some devices might also release heavy metals such as cadmium, lead and mercury. The source of such metals may be the metal of the device or the e-liquids. Although unexpected from the composition of the e-liquids, some studies have also detected tobacco-specific nitrosamines (TNSAs) (N'-nitrosonornicotine (NNN) and 4-(methylnitrosoamino)-1-(3-pyridyl)-1-butanone (NNK)) and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) (1- and 2-Naphtol and 1-hydroxypyrene (1-OHP)). This study will therefore test the efficacy of ENDS for cigarette smoking cessation, the safety of ENDS on adverse events and the effect of ENDS on health-related outcomes and exposure to inhaled chemicals. For the main ESTxENDS trial (NCT03589989), cigarette smokers motivated to quit smoking cigarettes will be included. Participants in the intervention group will receive an ENDS and nicotine-containing e-liquids, which they will be allowed to use ad libitum. Additionally, they will receive smoking cessation counseling. Participants in the control group will receive smoking cessation counseling only. All participants will be followed over a 24-month period. Chemicals such as VOCs, PAHs, TSNAs, heavy metals, nicotine and nicotine degradation products will first be quantified in the aerosol produced by ENDS in laboratory conditions. These chemicals and their metabolites will then be measured at baseline and at 6-, 12- and 24- months' follow-up in urine samples from study participants.
Anti-angiogenesis Tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) have been proved to show promising effects on prolonging progression-free survival (PFS) for advanced sarcoma after failure of standard multimodal Therapy. Methylsulfonic apatinib is one of those TKIs which specifically inhibits VEGFR-2. This study summarizes the experience of three Peking University affiliated hospitals in off-label use of apatinib in the treatment of extensively pre-treated sarcoma.
Previous studies have shown that elderly patients experience higher trough levels of tacrolimus and are more sensitive to the effects of medications, they experience higher occurrence and severity of such medication related toxicities. Therefore, the investigators hypothesize that by transitioning patients from tacrolimus immediate release to Envarsus ®, the peak-dose effect will be eliminated or attenuated, leading to a significant decrease in neurocognitive toxicities in the older patient population.
After standard multimodal therapy, the prognosis of relapsed and unresectable high-grade osteosarcoma is dismal and unchanged over the last decades. We have already finished a prospective trial about apatinib for advanced osteosarcoma(NCT02711007) and find it has a objective response rate of aproximately 45% with median progression-free survival around 5 months. Thus, the investigators explored apatinib activity together with anti-PD1 therapy in order to induce durable response in patients with relapsed and unresectable osteosarcoma after the failure of first-line or second-line chemotherapy. Apatinib is a small-molecule vascular endothelial growth factors receptor (VEGFR) tyrosine kinase inhibitor, similar to pazopanib, but with a binding affinity 10 times to VEGFR-2 comparing with pazopanib or sorafenib. SHR-1210 is a humanized anti-PD-1 monoclonal antibody.
Objectives. Toothpaste contains many potentially harmful ingredients, including some that can lead to serious long-term health problems. Everyday use of oral health care products has increased, highlighting the need for healthcare clinicians and consumers to be informed of the potential benefits and risks associated with these products. The aim of this study is to evaluate possible DNA damages to oral epithelial cells in participants exposed to toothpaste containing fluoride as opposed to the effects of non-fluoride toothpaste. Materials and Methods. Forty volunteers were selected among students of dental medicine and assigned into two experimental groups. Each group used regular non-fluoride toothpaste for initial two months, followed by the use of fluoride toothpaste of the same brand for the next two months. The buccal epithelial cells were sampled at baseline and 30, 60, 90 and 120 days after the beginning of the research. Chromosomal damages were analyzed by micronucleus assay.
On March 17th, 2011, the European Commission issued a marketing authorization valid throughout the European Union for Eribulin mesylate (Halaven; Eisai Limited), for the treatment of patients with locally advanced or metastatic breast cancer who have progressed after at least two chemotherapic regimens for advanced disease. As the use of Eribulin will be widespread in this tumor setting, a better knowledge of its safety profile outside clinical trials is warranted. Indeed the possibility to select patients at risk for developing Eribulin-induced neuropathy, will allow the exclusion from these treatment of those patients harbouring the specific single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP). Given that Eribulin toxicity often results in treatment discontinuation, the ability to anticipate which patients will experience severe toxicity could allow for either early intervention or even possibly for prophylactic therapy, or for selection of the patients to be treated.
