Wireless versus Wired Network-on-Chip to Enable the Multi- Tenant Multi-FPGAs in Cloud
2021
The new era of computing is not CPU-centric but enriched with all the heterogeneous computing resources including the reconfigurable fabric. In multi-FPGA architecture, either deployed within a data center or as a standalone model, inter-FPGA communication is crucial. Network-on-chip exhibits a promising performance for the integration of one FPGA. A sustainable communication architecture requires stable performance as the number of applications or users grows. Wireless network-on-chip has the potential to be that communication architecture, as it boasts the same performance capability as wired solutions in addition to its multicast capacities. We conducted an exploratory study to investiga…
Sensitivity of neuronal nicotinic acetylcholine receptors to the opiate antagonists naltrexone and naloxone: receptor blockade and up-regulation
2003
In HEK293 cells stably expressing alpha4beta2 nAChRs, naltrexone, but not naloxone, blocked alpha4beta2 nAChRs via an open-channel blocking mechanism. In primary hippocampal cultures, naltrexone inhibited alpha7 nAChRs up-regulated by nicotine, and in organotypic hippocampal cultures naltrexone caused a time-dependent up-regulation of functional alpha7 nAChRs that was detected after removal of the drug. These results indicate that naltrexone could be used as a smoking cessation aid.
R-CVP versus R-CHOP versus R-FM as first-line therapy for advanced-stage follicular lymphoma: Final results of FOLL05 trial from the Fondazione Itali…
2012
8006 Background: The optimal chemotherapy regimen for patients with advanced, active follicular lymphoma (FL) has not been established yet. We conducted a randomized trial comparing R-CVP with R-CHOP and R-FM. Methods: Previously untreated patients with advanced FL were randomly assigned to receive 8 doses of rituximab associated to 8 cycles of CVP, or 6 cycles of CHOP or FM (fludarabine 25 mg/m2 day 1-3, mitoxantrone 10 mg/m2 day 1). No maintenance therapy was allowed. The principal study end point was Time to Treatment Failure (TTF). Events in TTF were failure of induction therapy, progressive or relapse disease and death from any causes. In order to show a hazard ratio between each expe…
Abstract OT-31-01: A phase II study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of pembrolizumab plus carboplatin in BRCA-related metastatic breast cancer: P…
2021
Abstract Background Considering the high proportion of tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs) in BRCA-related breast cancer, we expect that PD-1 pathway is highly expressed and PD-1 antagonist pembrolizumab could provide clinical activity in this kind of tumor. Furthermore, BRCA-related breast cancers are known to be more sensitive to platinum-derived drugs. Thus the association between Pembrolizumab and Carboplatin in metastatic BRCA-related breast cancer seems to be active in this setting of patients. This study will evaluate the safety and the efficacy of Pembrolizumab associated with Carboplatin in BRCA mutated or with unknown mutations metastatic breast cancer patients. Study and Statis…
Abstract CT282: KEYNOTE-975: A randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled phase 3 trial of pembrolizumab vs placebo in participants with esophageal…
2020
Abstract Background: For patients with unresectable esophageal cancer (EC), definitive chemoradiotherapy (dCRT) is a standard treatment option. Platinum plus fluoropyrimidine-based regimens are comparable in dCRT and are considered standard options; however, overall survival (OS) is still poor, indicating a need for more effective therapies. The programmed cell death 1 inhibitor pembrolizumab showed promising response as third- and second-line monotherapy in patients with advanced, unresectable EC in the KEYNOTE-180 and KEYNOTE-181 studies, respectively. In the phase 3 KEYNOTE-181 trial, pembrolizumab extended OS vs chemotherapy in patients with a PD-L1 combined positive score (CPS) ≥10. KE…
The mTOR Inhibitor Temsirolimus Added to Rituximab Combined With Dexamethasone, Cytarabine, and Cisplatinum (R-DHAP) for the Treatment of Patients Wi…
2021
There is a high need for novel treatment options in relapsed and refractory diffuse large B-cell lymphoma. Single agent mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) inhibitor treatment has shown promising efficacy in this entity. Here, we report on the results of the mTOR-inhibitor temsirolimus combined to standard rituximab-DHAP salvage regimen in a prospective, multicenter, phase II, open-label study. The STORM regimen consisted of rituximab 375 mg/m(2) (day 2) and DHAP (dexamethasone 40 mg day 3-6, cisplatinum 100 mg/m(2) day 3, cytarabine 2 × 2 g/m(2) day 4) with temsirolimus added on day 1 and 8 of a 21-day cycle, with 2 to 4 cycles planned. In part I, dose levels of 25, 50, 75, and 100 mg fo…
Management of Toxicity Induced by Anti-EGFR Therapy in Metastatic Colorectal Cancer
2013
Use of anti-epidermal growth factor receptor (anti-EGFR) agents has yielded significant advances in the treatment of patients with metastatic colorectal cancer. In fact these drugs, which include the monoclonal antibodies cetuximab and panitumumab, can be delivered both as a single agent and in combination with chemotherapy, achieving better survival and quality of life and in some cases also resectability of metastases. However, these agents can result in the development of toxicities that are usually different from those observed with chemotherapy alone. For the management of these adverse effects, proper knowledge is mandatory. Skin toxicity is the most frequent adverse effect. Other tox…
Rituximab in the treatment of non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma
2008
Beate Hauptrock, Georg HessHematology/Oncology, Johannes Gutenberg-University, Mainz, GermanyAbstract: Besides traditional cytostatic drugs the introduction of monoclonal antibodies has substantially influenced current treatment concepts of non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma (NHL).  Rituximab, a monoclonal anti-CD20 chimeric antibody, now has been widely evaluated in the various B-cell lymphatic neoplasms. Large phase III studies helped to prove the value of this drug in follicular lymphoma as part of induction or relapse treatment as well as maintenance treatment. The addition of rituximab to the well established CHOP regimens has increased achievable cure rates in diffuse large cel…
Brentuximab Vedotin Plus ESHAP (BRESHAP) Versus ESHAP As Salvage Strategy for Patients with Primary Refractory or Relapsed Classical Hodgkin's Lympho…
2021
Abstract Introduction. Patients with relapsed/refractory classical Hodgkin's lymphoma (RRHL) still represent a therapeutic challenge. Consolidation with autologous stem cell transplantation (auto-HCT) is the standard of care in this setting. The achievement of a metabolic complete remission (mCR) with salvage chemotherapy (CT) improves long-term outcome after auto-HCT. The introduction of new drugs has significantly changed the landscape of RRHL. Our cooperative group (GELTAMO) has already demonstrated that brentuximab vedotin (BV) + ESHAP (BRESHAP, García-Sanz R et al, Ann Oncol 2019) is able to achieve a mCR rate of 70% before auto-HCT in patients with RRHL. Nevertheless, the superiority …
TLMCO-simulation for an open source MPSOC platform under STARSoC environment
2008
In the last decade, the embedded systems become more and more complex. This complexity is due to the fact that these systems contain more heterogeneous hardware and software components (CPUpsilas, DSP, IP, etc.). Such systems called multiprocessor-on-chip (MPSoC) require new design approaches in order to satisfy several constraints, verification time, cost and time to market.
