SCB01A is a novel microtubule inhibitor with vascular disrupting activity.
This first‐in‐human study demonstrated SCB01A safety, pharmacokinetics, and preliminary antitumor activity.
SCB01A is safe and well tolerated in patients with advanced solid malignancies with manageable neurotoxicity.
BackgroundSCB01A, a novel microtubule inhibitor, has vascular disrupting activity.MethodsIn this phase I dose‐escalation and extension study, patients with advanced solid tumors were administered intravenous SCB01A infusions for 3 hours once every 21 days. Rapid titration and a 3 + 3 design escalated the dose from 2 mg/m2 to the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) based on dose‐limiting toxicity (DLT). SCB01A‐induced cellular neurotoxicity was evaluated in dorsal root ganglion cells. The primary endpoint was MTD. Safety, pharmacokinetics (PK), and tumor response were secondary endpoints.ResultsTreatment‐related adverse events included anemia, nausea, vomiting, fatigue, fever, and peripheral sensorimotor neuropathy. DLTs included grade 4 elevated creatine phosphokinase (CPK) in the 4 mg/m2 cohort; grade 3 gastric hemorrhage in the 6.5 mg/m2 cohort; grade 2 thromboembolic event in the 24 mg/m2 cohort; and grade 3 peripheral sensorimotor neuropathy, grade 3 elevated aspartate aminotransferase, and grade 3 hypertension in the 32 mg/m2 cohort. The MTD was 24 mg/m2, and average half‐life was ~2.5 hours. The area under the curve‐dose response relationship was linear. Nineteen subjects were stable after two cycles. The longest treatment lasted 24 cycles. SCB01A‐induced neurotoxicity was reversible in vitro.ConclusionThe MTD of SCB01A was 24 mg/m2 every 21 days; it is safe and tolerable in patients with solid tumors. 相似文献
Congenital aniridia is a panocular disorder that is typically characterized by iris hypoplasia and aniridia-associated keratopathy (AAK). AAK results in the progressive loss of corneal transparency and thereby loss of vision. Currently, there is no approved therapy to delay or prevent its progression, and clinical management is challenging because of phenotypic variability and high risk of complications after interventions; however, new insights into the molecular pathogenesis of AAK may help improve its management. Here, we review the current understanding about the pathogenesis and management of AAK. We highlight the biological mechanisms involved in AAK development with the aim to develop future treatment options, including surgical, pharmacological, cell therapies, and gene therapies. 相似文献
Although dose reduction of S‐1 is recommended for patients with impaired renal function, dose modification for such patients has not been prospectively evaluated. The aim of the present study was to investigate the pharmacokinetic parameters of 5‐fluorouracil, 5‐chloro‐2,4 dihydroxypyridine and oteracil potassium, and to review the recommended dose modification of S‐1 in patients with renal impairment. We classified patients receiving S‐1 into 4 groups according to their renal function, as measured using the Japanese estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) equation. The daily S‐1 dose was adjusted based on the patient's eGFR and body surface area. Blood samples were collected for pharmacokinetic analysis. A total of 33 patients were enrolled and classified into 4 groups as follows: 10 patients in cohort 1 (eGFR ≥ 80 mL/min/1.73 m2), 10 patients in cohort 2 (eGFR = 50‐79 mL/min/1.73 m2), 10 patients in cohort 3 (eGFR = 30‐49 mL/min/1.73 m2), and 3 patients in cohort 4 (eGFR < 30 mL/min/1.73 m2). Those in cohorts 3 and 4 treated with an adjusted dose of S‐1 showed a similar area under the curve for 5‐fluorouracil (941.9 ± 275.6 and 1043.5 ± 224.8 ng/mL, respectively) compared with cohort 2 (1034.9 ± 414.3 ng/mL). Notably, while there was a statistically significant difference between cohort 1 (689.6 ± 208.8 ng/mL) and 2 (P =0.0474) treated with an equal dose of S‐1, there was no significant difference observed in the toxicity profiles of the cohorts. In conclusion, dose adjustment of S‐1 in patients with impaired renal function using eGFR is appropriate and safe. 相似文献
Background: Aniridia is a rare developmental eye disorder characterized by complete or partial iris hypoplasia often accompanied with other ocular changes that affect the cornea, anterior chamber, lens, retina, and optic nerve. Most cases of aniridia are inherited with an autosomal dominant mode of inheritance caused by PAX6 mutations or deletions. To reveal the underlying genetic defect in a four-generation Iranian family with aniridia, we carried out a genetic screening of PAX6.
Methods: Complete ophthalmic examinations were performed for available affected family members. All PAX6 exons and their flanking regions were sequenced for affected individuals. Candidate variation was screened for segregation in the pedigree by Sanger sequencing. Bioinformatics prediction was done to evaluate the deleterious effects of the mutation on protein product. Real-time PCR was used to investigate the impact of the variant on PAX6 mRNA expression.
Results: All patients were diagnosed with isolated aniridia associated with variable phenotypic features including retinal detachment. A novel heterozygous deletion c.320_348delTGTCCGAGGGGGTCTGTACCAACGATAAC (p.Leu107HisfsX16) on PAX6 gene was detected. Decreased mRNA level of PAX6 in the affected individuals indicated that the mutation caused nonsense-mediated mRNA decay (NMD).
Conclusions: To the best of our knowledge, it is the first report on the genetics of aniridia in Iran. Segregation analysis, bioinformatics prediction and confirmation of NMD, all support the proposition that the novel observed PAX6 mutation is the cause of aniridia in the pedigree. Retinal detachment in some of the affected members, which is a rare reported phenotypic feature of aniridia patients, may be associated with this mutation. 相似文献
