Drug/Agent Toxicity by Tissue/OrganLymphoma4 more

Phase I trial to study the effectiveness of irinotecan plus cyclosporine and phenobarbital in treating patients who have solid tumors or lymphoma that is refractory to standard therapy. Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop cancer cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. Cyclosporine and phenobarbital may enhance the effectiveness of irinotecan.

Combination Chemotherapy Plus Amifostine in Treating Children With Malignant Germ Cell Tumors

Childhood Germ Cell TumorDrug/Agent Toxicity by Tissue/Organ2 more

RATIONALE: Chemotherapy drugs use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. Chemoprotective drugs such as amifostine may protect normal cells from the side effects of chemotherapy. PURPOSE: Phase I trial to study the effectiveness of high-dose cisplatin, etoposide, and bleomycin plus amifostine in treating children who have malignant germ cell tumors.

Apatinib + Ifosfamide and Etoposide for Relapsed or Refractory Osteosarcoma

Effect of DrugToxicity2 more

Today, using a multi-modal approach consisting of preoperative (neoadjuvant) systemic polychemotherapy followed by local surgical therapy and then postoperative (adjuvant) chemotherapy, long-term, disease-free survival can be achieved in 60- 70% of osteosarcoma patients. However treatment options for osteosarcomas, especially in the setting of metastatic or unresectable disease, are very scarce. Apatinib has been proved to be an effective agent to prolong progression-free survival in advanced osteosarcoma. But after 4-6 months' treatment, secondary resistance always occurred with musculoskeletal lesions' progression or new metastasis. Nowadays giving therapeutic doses of IE concurrently with anti-angiogenesis tyrosine kinase inhibitors is a conceptually attractive strategy for treating patients with refractory osteosarcoma according to prospective trial of lenvatinib +IE reported by Gaspar et al at 2019 ESMO and 2020 ESMO. Thus This study was designed to review our experience in real world for off-label use and characterize the toxicity profile of concurrent apatinib+IE and IE alone in patients with relapsed or refractory osteosarcoma.

Computer - Controlled Intraligamentary Local Anaesthesia In Extraction of Primary Molars

Local Anaesthetic Drug Adverse Reaction

Background: Exodontia poses a psychological threat for children, increasing the need for profound local anesthesia to assure painless extraction and maintain child cooperation on the dental chair. Computer-controlled Intraligamentary anesthesia (CC-ILA) affects only the tooth to be treated with minimal pressure, eliminating the side effects of other conventional techniques. Purpose of the study: To evaluate the effectiveness of CC-ILA injection in eliminating pain during extraction of mandibular primary molars compared to inferior alveolar nerve block (IANB) technique. The null hypothesis is there will be no difference in the pain experience with the use of CC-ILA compared to the IANB in pediatric patients. Method: The study will be a double-blind randomized controlled clinical trial, parallel design. A total of 50 healthy children aged 5-7 years, will be selected from Pediatric Dentistry and Dental Public Health Department, Faculty of Dentistry, Alexandria University, Egypt. Children will be selected with scores 3 or 4 Frankl behavioral rating scale. Each child selected will have at least one mandibular primary molar that is indicated for extraction. Written informed consent will be obtained from guardian. Participants will be randomly allocated into two groups according to the technique of anesthesia that will be used. Group I (test group) will receive CC-ILA, while group II (control group) will receive IANB. Heart rate will be used as vital parameter of pain, and will be recorded at base line, during injection and during extraction procedure. Pain reaction will be assessed objectively by two investigators using Sensory, Eye, Motor (SEM) scale, while subjectively the pain will be evaluated by asking the child to express his experience using a modified face scale from the Maunuksela scale.

Bleomycin, Etoposide, and Cisplatin in Treating Patients With Metastatic Germ Cell Cancer of the...

Drug/Agent Toxicity by Tissue/OrganTesticular Germ Cell Tumor

RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as bleomycin, etoposide, and cisplatin, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Giving more than one drug (combination chemotherapy) may kill more tumor cells. It is not yet known which schedule of bleomycin is more effective when given together with etoposide and cisplatin in treating metastatic germ cell cancer of the testicles. PURPOSE: This randomized phase III trial is studying two different schedules of bleomycin to compare how well they work when given together with etoposide and cisplatin in treating patients with metastatic germ cell cancer of the testicles.

Treatment of Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia in Children

Drug/Agent Toxicity by Tissue/OrganLeukemia

RATIONALE: L-asparaginase is an important component of treatment for childhood acute lymphoblastic leukemia, but is also associated with notable side-effects, including hypersensitivity, pancreatitis, and thrombosis. We have previously reported that patients with acute lymphoblastic leukemia in whom asparaginase treatment was discontinued because of intolerable side-effects had survival outcomes that were inferior to those who received all or nearly all of their intended doses. Two bacterial sources of asparaginase exist: Escherichia coli (E coli) and Erwinia chrysanthemia (Erwinia). Generally, the E coli-derived enzyme has been used as front-line therapy and the Erwinia-derived preparation has been reserved for patients who develop hypersensitivity reactions. Pegylated E coli asparaginase (PEG-asparaginase) has a longer half-life and is potentially less immunogenic than native E coli L-asparaginase, and has been used as the initial asparaginase preparation in some pediatric acute lymphoblastic leukemia treatment regimens. PURPOSE: Although the pharmacokinetics of each of these asparaginase preparations: intravenous PEG-asparaginase (IV-PEG) and intramuscular native E coli L-asparaginase (IM-EC) have been well characterized, their relative efficacy and toxicity have not been studied extensively.

Drug/Agent Toxicity by Tissue/OrganLeukemia

RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. Combining more than one drug may kill more tumor cells. Chemoprotective drugs, such as amifostine, may protect normal cells from the side effects of chemotherapy. PURPOSE: Phase I trial to study the effectiveness of amifostine in treating patients with newly diagnosed acute myeloid leukemia who are receiving idarubicin plus cytarabine.

Drug/Agent Toxicity by Tissue/OrganLung Cancer1 more

RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. Radiation therapy uses high-energy x-rays to damage tumor cells. Drugs such as amifostine may protect normal cells from the side effects of chemotherapy and radiation therapy. PURPOSE: Phase II trial to study the effectiveness of amifostine plus chemotherapy and radiation therapy in treating patients who have limited-stage small cell lung cancer.

RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. Chemoprotective drugs, such as amifostine, may protect normal cells from the side effects of chemotherapy. PURPOSE: Phase II trial to study the effectiveness of combining gemcitabine, cisplatin, and amifostine following surgery in treating patients who have locally advanced bladder cancer.
