Evaluation of Safety, Tolerability and Efficacy of Temsirolimus in Patients with Relapsed or Refractory Mantle Cell Lymphoma (Rel/Refr Mcl) in Routin…
2014
ABSTRACT Aim: Temsirolimus (TEMS), an mTOR-inhibitor, is approved in the EU for the treatment of patients (pts) with relapsed or refractory (rel/refr) MCL. A pivotal study demonstrated significantly longer progression free survival with TEMS (175 mg weekly for 3 weeks followed by 75 mg weekly) in rel/refr MCL pts compared to investigatoŕs choice therapy (4.8 mo vs 1.9 mo; P = .0009). To evaluate safety and efficacy of TEMS in an unselected patient population during clinical routine, a prospective non-interventional study with TEMS in rel/refr MCL pts is useful. Here we report on interim results of the study. Methods: A German multicenter registry for rel/refr MCL pts treated with TEMS was s…

Clinical Presentation and Complications of Achalasia
2001
Patients with achalasia often present with atypical symptoms. If these occur in the context of "normal" morphological findings, the diagnosis may be delayed for several years. However, a careful interview and the use of modern methods that concentrate on pathophysiologic aspects always allow an early diagnosis and the initiation of therapy that affects most but rarely all symptoms. Finally, regardless of whether this therapy remains partially or totally effective, patients require some follow-up since serious and late complications may occur.
Randomized Trial of Lenalidomide and Dexamethasone Versus Clarythromycin, Lenalidomide and Dexamethasone As First Line Treatment in Patients with Mul…
2019
Continuous treatment with lenalidomide (R) and dexamethasone (d) is a standard of care for multiple myeloma (MM) patients (pts) not candidates for autologous stem cell transplantation (ASCT). As previously reported, the addition of Clarithromycin (C) to Rd has proven to be safe and effective, and case-control analyses suggested a significant additive value with the combination. C optimizes the therapeutic effect of glucocorticoids by increasing the area under the curve, has immunomodulatory effects and may have direct antineoplastic properties. However, there are not randomized phase III trials confirming these results. GEM-Claridex in an open, randomized, phase III trial for untreated new…

ABSTRACT Background Temsirolimus (TEMS), an mTOR-inhibitor, is approved the EU for the treatment of patients (pts) with relapsed or refractory MCL (rel/refr). A pivotal study demonstrated significantly longer progression free survival with TEMS (175mg weekly for 3 weeks followed by 75mg weekly) in rel/refr MCL pts compared to investigatoŕs choice therapy (4.8 mo vs 1.9 mo; P = .0009). To better identify safety and efficacy of TEMS in an unselected patient population during clinical routine a prospective non-interventional study with TEMS in rel/refr MCL-pts was started. Here we report on interim results of the study. Methods A registry for rel/refr MCL pts treated with TEMS was started in G…
Atteinte de la Muscularis Mucosae dans les tumeurs urothéliales T1 de vessie : facteur pronostique de progression après immunothérapie par BCG
2012
OBJECTIVES: To study the prognostic impact of muscularis mucosae (MM) invasion for pT1 bladder cancer treated by transurethral resection (TUR) and adjuvant Bacille Calmette-Guerin (BCG) intravesical immunotherapy. METHODS: Sixty-six patients treated by BCG intravesical instillations were substaged into pT1a and pT1b, regarding Muscularis Mucosae invasion. Tumor grade, associated carcinoma in situ (CIS), multifocality, tumoral size up to 3cm, BCG maintenance were noted. With a mean follow-up of 50.5±38 months, we studied recurrence, progression, overall and specific survival. Cox's model method was used for multivariate analysis. RESULTS: Tumor recurrence was observed in 30±7% and 43±10% (P=…
Sustained Responses and Resistance to Imatinib Mesylate in the First 173 Chronic Myeloid Leukemia Patients Accrued by the SCREEN Multicenter Study: F…
2009
Abstract Abstract 4276 Introduction Imatinib mesylate (IM) has shown unprecedented effectiveness in the treatment of Chronic Myeloid Leukemia (CML) patients (pts) in the chronic phase of the disease. As most of the data concerning the efficacy of the drug derive either from a single sponsored trial or from single institution reports, we decided to accrue all CML pts diagnosed in the Italian region of Sicily to the observational SCREEN (Siciliy CML Regional Enterprise) study, to evaluate the hematological, cytogenetic and molecular responses of this unselected population to IM. Patients and Methods Although the study is still ongoing, 173 consecutive CML pts have been enrolled between Januar…
