Although treatment with tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) has dramatically improved outcomes for the majority of patients with chronic myeloid leukemia (CML), approximately 20–30% will require a ch...
Long-term efficacy of botulinum toxin A for treatment of blepharospasm,hemifacial spasm, and spastic entropion: a multicentre study using two drug-do…
2009
PURPOSE: To investigate the long-term effectiveness and safety of botulinum neurotoxin A (BoNT-A) treatment in patients with blepharospasm (BEB), hemifacial spasm (HFS), and entropion (EN) and to use for the first time two modified indexes, 'botulin toxin escalation index-U' (BEI-U) and 'botulin toxin escalation index percentage' (BEI-%), in the dose-escalation evaluation. METHODS: All patients in this multicentre study were followed for at least 10 years and main outcomes were clinical efficacy, duration of relief, BEI-U and BEI-%, and frequency of adverse events. RESULTS: BEB, HFS, and EN patients received a mean BoNT-A dose with a significant inter-group difference (P<0.0005, respectivel…
Dose Escalation in Permanent Brachytherapy for Prostate Cancer: Preliminary Results

A Phase I/II Dose-Escalation Multi-Center Study to Evaluate the Safety of Infusion of Natural Killer Cells or Memory T Cells As Adoptive Therapy in C…
2021
Abstract Background: Adoptive cell immunotherapies for opportunistic virus in immunocompromised patients using haploidentical memory T cells have shown to be safe and effective. Since severe cases of COVID-19 present a dysregulated immune system with T cell lymphopenia and a hyper-inflammatory state we have proposed that a similar strategy could be proven to be efficient for COVID-19 patients. This is a study protocol of an open-label, multicenter, double-arm, randomized, dose-finding phase I/II clinical trial to evaluate the feasibility, safety, tolerability, and efficacy of the administration of a single dose of allogenic SARS-CoV-2 specific memory CD45RA - T cells and Natural Killer (NK)…
Second-line treatment in exon 11-mutated GIST patients: Imatinib dose escalation or sunitinib? Retrospective analysis of a multi-institutional experi…
2014
10515 Background: Data from metastatic GIST patients harbouring exon 11 mutation who received a second line treatment with sunitinib or imatinib dose escalation were retrospectively analysed to compare survival. Methods: 123 exon 11 mutated advanced GIST patients were included. All patients progressed on imatinib 400 mg/die and received, on discretion of physician, a second line treatment with either imatinib (800 mg/die) or sunitinib (50 mg/die 4 weeks on/2 weeks of or 37.5 mg/day continuous daily dose). The type of exon 11 mutation was recorded (deletion versus others) and correlated with survival and response according to RECIST or CHOI criteria Results: 79 patients (64%) received a seco…
A phase I, open-label, dose-escalation trial of BI 764532, a DLL3/CD3 bispecific antibody, in patients (pts) with small cell lung carcinoma (SCLC) or…
2021
TPS8588 Background: First-line standard of care for pts with metastatic SCLC and neuroendocrine carcinoma (NEC) is platinum-based chemotherapy ± immunotherapy. While the addition of anti-PD1 antibodies has improved outcomes, nearly all pts relapse and prognosis is poor. There is a major unmet need for additional treatment (tx) options. BI 764532 is a delta-like ligand 3 (DLL3)/CD3 T cell engaging bispecific antibody. DLL3 is expressed on the cell surface of many SCLC and NEC tumors, but not on normal cells. In preclinical studies, BI 764532 induced cytotoxicity of DLL3-positive cells and showed anti-tumor activity in animal models. Methods: NCT04429087 is a first-in-human, open-label, dose…
A Phase I dose-escalation study of third-line regorafenib with trifluridine/tipiracil in metastatic colorectal cancer
2021
Aim: To determine a recommended Phase II dose of the oral fluoropyrimidine trifluridine/tipiracil (FTD/TPI) combined with the multi-kinase inhibitor regorafenib (REG) in refractory metastatic colorectal cancer patients. Materials & methods: A conventional 3 + 3 dose finding design was used. FTD/TPI was administered on days 1–5 and 8–12 of a 28-day cycle, REG on days 2–22. Two dose levels were used: FTD/TPI 25 mg/m2 b.i.d. + REG 120 mg/d, then escalated to FTD/TPI 35 mg/m2 b.i.d. + REG 120 mg/d. Results: In total, 12 patients were treated at two dose levels. Three dose-limiting toxicities were observed; all were grade 3 hypertension causally attributed to REG. Recommended Phase II dose …
A phase I dose-escalation of trifluridine/tipiracil in combination with oxaliplatin in metastatic colorectal cancer.
2017
TPS3626 Background: Trifluridine/tipiracil, also known as TAS‐102, is a combination of an antineoplastic thymidine‐based nucleoside analogue (trifluridine) and a thymidine phosphorylase inhibitor (tipiracil hydrochloride). The antitumor activity of combined trifluridine/tipiracil and oxaliplatin has been studied in gastrointestinal tumor xenografts, including a 5‐FU resistant subline, using a nude mouse model. This study demonstrated increased antitumor activity for the combination compared to trifluridine/tipiracil or oxaliplatin alone (p < 0.001) (Nukatsuka et al., Anticancer Res 2015). These data support the rationale for clinical use of the combination. We describe a phase 1, intern…
A phase I dose escalation and expansion study of the next generation oral SERD AZD9833 in women with ER-positive, HER2-negative advanced breast cancer
2020
1024 Background: AZD9833 is an oral selective estrogen receptor (ER) antagonist and degrader (SERD) that has shown antitumor efficacy in a range of preclinical models of breast cancer. Methods: SERENA-1 (NCT03616587) is an ongoing Phase 1, open-label study in pre- and post-menopausal women, after ≥1 endocrine therapy and ≤2 prior chemotherapies for ER+ HER2- advanced breast cancer (ABC). The primary objective is to determine the safety and tolerability of AZD9833 once daily (QD), with dose-limiting toxicities (DLTs) in 28d defining the maximum tolerated dose. Secondary objectives include pharmacokinetics and anti-tumor response. Pharmacodynamic (PD) analysis includes ER modulation in paire…
