irinotecan/infarction

OBJECTIVE We studied the safety and tolerability of telatinib, an orally available, small-molecule tyrosine kinase inhibitor of the vascular endothelial growth factor receptor (VEGFR-2/VEGFR-3), platelet-derived growth factor receptor beta, and c-Kit in combination with capecitabine and

We conducted a phase II study of combination chemotherapy with paclitaxel (Pac) and irinotecan (CPT) to determine the effects and toxicities in patients 70 years or older with unresectable non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Eligible patients were entered to receive three courses of Pac at 160 mg/m2

We conducted a phase I/II study of combination chemotherapy with nedaplatin (NDP) and irinotecan to determine the effects against advanced non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and to determine the qualitative and quantitative toxicities of the combination chemotherapy. NDP was given on day 1 and

We retrospectively analyzed the outcome of high-risk patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) treated with nedaplatin (NP) and irinotecan (CPT) combination chemotherapy. Between July 2002 and January 2006, 31 NSCLC patients with multiple high-risk factors were treated with NP at 50 mg/m2 and

BACKGROUND Second-line chemotherapy is disappointing in recurrent high-grade gliomas. Dramatic responses in recurrent high-grade gliomas have been reported in a recent monocentric trial with a novel association combining bevacizumab (anti-VEGF monoclonal antibody agent) and irinitecan. OBJECTIVE To

OBJECTIVE Chemotherapy-induced diarrhea occurs secondary to mucosal inflammation and may be cyclooxygenase-2 mediated. Cyclooxygenase-2 inhibitors may ameliorate chemotherapy-induced mucosal toxicity and enhance its antitumor effect. We investigated this hypothesis in the Ward colorectal cancer rat

OBJECTIVE We studied the toxicities, potential pharmacokinetic interactions, and preliminary antitumor activity of the combination of docetaxel and irinotecan with celecoxib, a selective cyclooxygenase-2 inhibitor. METHODS Eligible patients had advanced non-small lung cancer (NSCLC) with measurable

BACKGROUND Preclinical evidence suggests synergy between docetaxel and irinotecan, two drugs active in esophagogastric cancer. We previously demonstrated the safety of docetaxel 35 mg/m2 and irinotecan 50 mg/m2 given on days 1 and 8 of a 21-day schedule. METHODS Patients who had

BACKGROUND The FOLFOXIRI (irinotecan, oxaliplatin, fluorouracil, and folinate) regimen has been shown to be better than FOLFIRI (fluorouracil, folinate, and irinotecan) in a phase 3 trial in patients with metastatic colorectal cancer. Results of various studies have shown that the addition of

BACKGROUND No standard chemotherapy has been established for patients with large-cell neuroendocrine carcinoma (LCNEC). METHODS Patients with LCNEC of the lung were treated with nedaplatin (NP) at 50 mg/m(2) and irinotecan at 50 mg/m(2) on days 1 and 8 every four weeks for four cycles. RESULTS Data

OBJECTIVE Bevacizumab improves survival in several solid tumor malignancies when combined with chemotherapy. We evaluated the efficacy and safety of the addition of bevacizumab to chemotherapy in the treatment of gastric and gastroesophageal junction (GEJ) adenocarcinoma. METHODS Forty-seven

The aim of this clinical trial was to investigate safety and efficacy when combining cetuximab with bevacizumab and irinotecan in patients with recurrent primary glioblastoma multiforme (GBM). Patients were included with recurrent primary GBM and progression within 6 months of ending standard

BACKGROUND Four cycles of etoposide plus cisplatin and accelerated hyperfractionated thoracic radiotherapy (AHTRT) is the standard of care for limited-stage small-cell lung cancer (SCLC). Irinotecan plus cisplatin significantly improved overall survival compared with etoposide plus cisplatin for

Brown seaweed Undaria pinnatifida (Harvey) Suringar is popular as a foodstuff, and used for medical care in East Asian countries. The major components of this seaweed are shown to benefit hypertension and hyperlipidemia, and considered to reduce the risks of infarction and ischemic diseases.
