Classic Myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPNs) are a heterogeneous group of diseases including Chronic myeloid leukemia (CML), polycythemia vera (PV), essential thrombocythemia (ET), and primary myelofibrosis (PMF) (Levine et al., 2007).
According to WHO 2016 classification which also included chronic
This is a clinical trial of melphalan flufenamide (melflufen), a peptide-conjugated alkylator which belongs to an novel class of drugs called peptidase-enhanced compounds, and targets the transformation process of tumor cells with a unique mechanism of action, as potential treatment option of AL
Melphalan flufenamide (melflufen) is a peptide-drug conjugate that rapidly delivers an alkylating payload into tumor cells. Peptidases are expressed in several cancers, including solid tumors and hematologic malignancies. Melphalan flufenamide is rapidly taken up by myeloma cells due to its high
Although papillary and follicular thyroid cancers are low-grade endocrine malignancy, they were fatal if the cancer cells were poorly-differentiated or anaplastic change. Prior researches indicated that one-third well-differentiated thyroid cancers could transform to poorly-differentiated patterns,
PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:
I. To evaluate the standardized uptake value maximum (SUVmax) in patients with previously untreated HER2+ breast cancer.
SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:
I. To evaluate if the uptake of copper 64 Cu-64-DOTA-trastuzumab, a proposed indicator of responsiveness to HER2-directed therapy,
Irreversible kidney damage is described beyond thirty minutes of warm ischemia time (WIT), even in completely normal systems (4). Gill et al. (5) reported 18% kidney function loss after thirty-two minutes of WIT. Preliminary data from our center shows a reduction in WIT to eleven minutes (6)
APPROACH:
Overview of Study Design: This is a double-masked, randomized, placebo-controlled pilot study of treatment sitagliptin (100mg/day) to suppress monocyte/macrophage activation in obese non-diabetic participants. 16 abdominally obese18-40 year-old largely minorities will be randomized 3:1 to
Background:
Canagliflozin is a new oral drug for the treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), and is one of four recently FDA approved sodium glucose co-transporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitors, which target renal glucose reabsorption and offer promising improvement in HbA1c. In the approval process,
PRIMARY OBJECTIVE:
I. To assess the event free survival (EFS) of a novel regimen incorporating brentuximab vedotin (Bv; Adcetris) in the chemotherapy backbone of doxorubicin hydrochloride (doxorubicin) (Adriamycin), vincristine sulfate (vincristine), etoposide, prednisone and cyclophosphamide
Transplant candidates with HLA alloantibodies are at high risk for antibody mediated rejection (AMR), graft failure, and acute rejection (1,2). In heart transplantation, these complications lead to death. The 50% calculated panel reactive antibody, CPRA, threshold is chosen from a consensus
Objectives
1. To demonstrate the presence of NE in vitro and the entrance into lung adenocarcinoma cells
2. To identify the intracellular mechanisms through which NE mediates its tumor proliferating effects
3. To verify the activation of NE and its related pathway component in clinical lung
Adult-onset latent autoimmune diabetes (LADA), etiologically belongs to type 1 diabetes (T1D), is characterized by the presence of islet autoantibodies, such as islet cell antibody (ICA) and glutamic acid decarboxylase antibody (GADA), and is prone to develop β-cell failure. The goals of treatment
OBJECTIVES:
Primary
- To assess the degree of fibroblast activation protein (FAP) enzymatic activity at the tumor site in patients with localized pancreatic cancer.
Secondary
- To explore correlations between tumor stromal FAP enzymatic activity and stromal α_2-antiplasmin levels.
- To explore
OBJECTIVES:
Primary
- Determine the dose of talabostat, when used in combination with either temozolomide or carboplatin, at which maximum plasma dipeptidyl peptidase IV enzyme inhibition is achieved (in the absence of talabostat-related dose-limiting toxicity) in pediatric patients with refractory
