PURPOSE: We report the results of a prospectively randomized study that compared combination epirubicin, cisplatin, and protracted venous-infusion fluorouracil (PVI 5-FU) (ECF) with mitomycin, PVI 5-FU (MCF) in previously untreated patients advanced esophagogastric cancer. PATIENTS AND METHODS: Five hundred eighty adenocarcinoma, squamous carcinoma, or undifferentiated carcinoma were to receive either ECF (epirubicin 50 mg/m 2 every 3 weeks, cisplatin 60 weeks 200 /d) MCF (mitomycin 7 6 300...
PURPOSE To evaluate the efficacy and safety of gemcitabine, a pyrimidine antimetabolite with activity against solid tumours. PATIENTS AND METHODS Eighty-two patients unresectable stage IIIa to IV non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) were entered. The first 54 received gemcitabine 800 mg/m2, subsequent 1,000 as 30-minute intravenous infusion on days 0, 7, 14. Courses therapy repeated every 28 days. Twenty percent dosage escalation was permitted after course no.1 if World Health Organization...
Vaccination against influenza and Streptococcus pneumoniae is recommended for elderly immunocompromised individuals. However, there little information concerning the efficacy of vaccination in specific groups patients. In this study, 52 patients underwent influenza, S. Haemophilus influenzae type b (Hib) as they attended hospital outpatient clinics. Serum was analysed prior to 4–6 weeks afterwards. Antibody titres Hib were compared with reference values corresponding geometric mean a healthy...
To determine the efficacy and tolerability of SPI-77 (sterically stabilised liposomal cisplatin) at three dose levels in patients with advanced non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Patients had Stage IIIB or IV NSCLC were chemo-naïve, Eastern Oncology Cooperative Group 0–2. The first cohort received 100 mg m−2, second 200 m−2 final 260 m−2. also pharmacokinetics analysis leucocyte platinum (Pt)-DNA adducts performed. Twenty-six treated, 22 being evaluable for response. Only one response...
Adherence to statins in real-world practice settings is known be suboptimal. However, less about how adherence changes over time and whether are associated with adverse cardiovascular (CV) outcomes.To (a) characterize yearly among initially adherent patients taking for primary prevention (b) assess the association between statin subsequent risk of CV events.A 10% random sample IMS LifeLink Health Plan Claims Database covering period from July 1, 1997, December 31, 2008, was used identify a...
Abstract BACKGROUND The authors compared gemcitabine and carboplatin (GC) with mitomycin, ifosfamide, cisplatin (MIC) or vinblastine, (MVP) in patients advanced nonsmall cell lung carcinoma (NSCLC). primary objective was survival. Secondary objectives were time to disease progression, response rates, evaluation of toxicity, disease‐related symptoms, World Health Organization performance status (PS), quality life (QoL). METHODS Three hundred seventy‐two chemotherapy‐naïve International...
To assess the efficacy of ciprofloxacin in neutropenic patients, we conducted a randomized prospective trial comparing combination and netilmicin against piperacillin plus as an empiric treatment fever cancer patients with neutropenia. Of 214 evaluable episodes, 115 99 were randomly assigned to arms, respectively. The overall response rates very similar (59 62% for respectively). gram-positive bacteremias was almost identical (around 40%); this low due part outbreak infection by multiply...

Objectives: The purpose this study was learn more what factors lead physicians' prescribing control drugs for non-cancer pain through use focus groups. Methods: A qualitative study, using groups, five family...
Little is known about how many insured patients receive pharmacogenetic testing. We describe trends of single-gene testing in a US managed care population, and demographic clinical characteristics who received test.We leveraged random sample nearly 11 million from data set paid medical pharmacy claims to identify with at least one claim indicating receipt these tests: CYP2C19, CYP2D6, CYP2C9, VKORC1, UGT1A1, HLA class 1 typing.From January 2013 30 September 2017, 5712 test (55% female; mean...
ObjectiveTo describe the purpose, implementation, and perceived utility of course evaluations in pharmacy programs.MethodsAfter a literature review, 34-item survey was developed, pre-tested, sent to assessment administrators at accredited programs (N=139) with least three follow-ups. Descriptive inferential statistics were performed SPSS.ResultsNinety responded (64.7% response rate). Most students (94%) offered opportunity complete evaluations. Some completed during (47%) while others did so...
