Safety and efficacy of mangafodipir trisodium (MnDPDP) injection for hepatic MRI in adults: results of the U.S. multicenter phase III clinical trials (safety)

The short-term safety of mangafodipir trisodium (MnDPDP) injection was studied in 546 adults with known or suspected focal liver lesions. An initial contrast-enhanced computed tomography examination was followed by unenhanced magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), injection of MnDPDP (5 micromol/kg), and enhanced MRI. Adverse events were reported for 23% of the patients; most were mild to moderate in intensity, did not require treatment, and were not drug related. The most commonly reported adverse events were nausea (7%) and headache (4%). The incidence of serious adverse events was low (nine events in six patients) and not drug related. Injection-associated discomfort was reported for 69% of the patients, and the most commonly reported discomforts included heat (49%) and flushing (33%). Changes in laboratory values and vital signs were generally transient, were not clinically significant, and did not require treatment. There were no clinically significant short-term risks from exposure to MnDPDP.     

Rituximab in combination with fludarabine chemotherapy in low-grade or follicular lymphoma.

PURPOSE: To evaluate the safety and efficacy of fludarabine plus rituximab in treatment-naive or relapsed patients with low-grade and/or follicular non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. PATIENTS AND METHODS: This was an open-label, single-arm, single-center phase II study enrolling 40 patients. During the first week of the study, patients received two infusions of rituximab 375 mg/m2 administered 4 days apart. Seventy-two hours after the second infusion of rituximab, patients received the first of six cycles of fludarabine chemotherapy (25 mg/m2/d for 5 days on a 28-day cycle). Single infusions of rituximab were administered 72 hours before the second, fourth, and sixth cycles of fludarabine, and two infusions of rituximab were given 4 weeks after the last cycle of fludarabine. Treatment duration was 26 weeks. RESULTS: An overall response rate of 90% (80% complete response rate) was achieved in the intent-to-treat population. Similar response rates were seen in treatment-naive and previously treated patients. The median duration of response has not been reached at 40+ months. The median follow-up time in this study is 44 months (range, 15 to 66 months). In patients positive for the 14;18 translocation in blood and/or marrow at enrollment, molecular remission was achieved in 88% of cases, with patients remaining negative for up to 4 years to date. Hematologic toxicity was manageable, and except for a 15% incidence of herpes simplex/zoster infections, infectious complications were rare. Nonhematologic toxicities were minimal. CONCLUSION: Rituximab plus fludarabine was well tolerated and associated with an excellent complete response rate, including molecular remissions, in patients with low-grade or follicular lymphoma.     

Radiologically placed temporary hepatic artery catheter for treatment of liver cancer

Hepatic artery infusion (HAI) chemotherapy is associated with higher response rates compared to systemic chemotherapy in those patients with unresectable liver malignancies. Operative hepatic artery catheter (HAC) insertion has significant morbidity and mortality, especially in patients with high‐volume disease, some of whom may not respond to HAI chemotherapy. We report our experience in 45 patients with high‐volume liver disease who were initially treated with HAI chemotherapy via a radiologically placed temporary HAC to try to select the responders who then went on to have an operative HAC. In these 45 patients who had 62 radiologically placed HAC, we found very few major complications, and certainly no complications such as cholecystitis, vascular or malperfusion problems.     

Procoagulant activity of reversibly acylated human factor Xa

The plasma clotting factors used to treat hemophiliacs who have developed inhibitory antibodies have a shared history of limited clinical safety and utility. To improve on existing bypass factors, we have developed a reversibly acylated form of human plasma factor Xa capable of providing a time-dependent release of procoagulant activity. Factor Xa was treated with p-amidinophenyl p'-anisate to generate anisoyl Xa. The chemical modification of the protein involves acylation of the active site serine residue of factor Xa. Anisoyl Xa deacylated in a time, pH, and temperature-dependent manner. Active factor Xa generated on deacylation of anisoyl Xa exhibited amidolytic and prothrombinase complex activities in in vitro assays, the level being comparable to those of untreated factor Xa. When Anisoyl Xa was infused into rabbits, active factor Xa was generated on deacylation of the acylated enzyme, which shortened the activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT) in a dose-dependent manner. The duration of effect on rabbit APTT could be directly correlated to the level of human plasma factor Xa. Because anisoyl Xa bypasses the "tenase" complex that is compromised in hemophilia A and B and is unaffected by inhibitory antibodies, it has the potential to be used as an effective bypass therapy.     

石杉碱甲类似物的研究II.N-甲基吡啶酮石杉碱甲类似物的合成
