We tested the hypothesis that level of circulating tumor cells can predict survival in metastatic breast cancer.In a prospective, multicenter study, we 177 patients with measurable cancer for levels both before were to start new line treatment and at first follow-up visit. The progression disease or response was determined use standard imaging studies participating centers.Outcomes assessed according baseline, started disease. Patients training set equal higher than 5 per 7.5 ml whole blood,...
Metastatic breast cancer (MBC) is incurable; its treatment palliative. We investigated whether the presence of circulating tumor cells (CTCs) predicts efficacy, progression-free survival (PFS), and overall (OS) in patients with newly diagnosed MBC who were about to start first-line therapy.One hundred seventy-seven measurable enrolled onto a prospective study. Eighty-three 177 entering treatment, these are focus this analysis. CTCs from 7.5 mL whole blood drawn before initiation (baseline)...
We treated seven patients who had progressive hairy-cell leukemia with daily doses of 3 million units partially pure alpha (leukocyte) interferon by the intramuscular route. Three a complete remission, and four partial according to strict criteria for response. After treatment, bone-marrow aspirates showed an absence cells in three 5 per cent or fewer others. Normalization subnormal peripheral-blood values occurred six anemia, granulocytopenia, thrombocytopenia. Remissions have been...
PURPOSE: The objective of this phase III study was to determine the efficacy, safety, and pharmacokinetics denileukin diftitox (DAB 389 IL-2, Ontak [Ligand Phar-maceuticals Inc, San Diego, CA]) in patients with stage Ib IVa cutaneous T-cell lymphoma (CTCL) who have previously received other therapeutic interventions. PATIENTS AND METHODS: Patients biopsy-proven CTCL that expressed CD25 on ≥ 20% lymphocytes were assigned one two dose levels (9 or 18 μg/kg/d) administered 5 consecutive days...
Cytotoxic T lymphocyte-associated antigen 4 (CTLA4) blockade with CP-675,206, a fully human anti-CTLA4 monoclonal antibody, may break peripheral immunologic tolerance leading to effective immune responses cancer in humans. A phase I trial was conducted test the safety of CP-675,206.Thirty-nine patients solid malignancies (melanoma, n = 34; renal cell, 4; colon, 1) received an intravenous (IV) infusion CP-675,206 at seven dose levels. The primary objective determine maximum-tolerated and...

Abstract Purpose: Chemokine receptor 1 (CXCR1) is recognized as an actionable selectively expressed by breast cancer stem cells (BCSCs). Reparixin investigational allosteric inhibitor of chemokine receptors and 2 (CXCR1/2), demonstrates activity against BCSCs in human xenografts. This phase Ib clinical trial examined dose, safety, pharmacokinetics paclitaxel plus reparixin therapy, explored effects on patients with metastatic (MBC) (trial registration ID: NCT02001974). Experimental Design:...

Abstract Introduction Circulating tumor cells (CTCs) represent an independent predictor of outcome in patients with metastatic breast cancer (MBC). We assessed the prognostic impact CTCs according to different first-line systemic treatments, and explored their potential predictive value MBC patients. Methods retrospectively evaluated 235 newly diagnosed patients, treated at University Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center. All had a baseline CTC assessment performed CellSearch ® . Progression-free...
Currently, there is extensive information about circulating tumor cells (CTC) and their prognostic value; however, little known other characteristics of these cells. In this prospective study, we assessed the gene transcripts epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition-inducing transcription factors (EMT-TF) cancer stem cell (CSC) features in patients with HER2(+) metastatic breast (MBC). Epithelial were enriched from peripheral blood mononuclear (PBMC) using antibody-coated anti-CD326 antibody...
The detection of CTCs prior to and during therapy is an independent strong prognostic marker, it predictive poor treatment outcome. A major challenge that different technologies are available for isolation characterization in peripheral blood (PB). We compare the CellSearch system AdnaTest BreastCancer Select/Detect, evaluate extent these assays differ their ability detect PB MBC patients. 7.5 ml were isolated enumerated using CellSearch, before new treatment. Two cutoff values ≥2 ≥5...
