Hyperthermia, bladder pressure, and intravesical drug delivery.

Conference Journal of Clinical Oncology · February 20, 2021 469 Background: Little is known about the pharmacokinetics of intravesical chemotherapies. Various parameters can be altered including temperature, dwell time, drug concentration, and bladder pressure. Here, we hypothesize that i ... Full text Cite

MnTnBuOE-2-PyP5+ Ascorbate in the Treatment of Ovarian Cancer

Conference Free Radical Biology and Medicine · November 2020 Full text Cite

ACTR-28. PHASE 1 DOSE ESCALATION TRIAL OF THE SAFETY OF BMX-001 CONCURRENT WITH RADIATION THERAPY AND TEMOZOLOMIDE IN NEWLY DIAGNOSED PATIENTS WITH HIGH-GRADE GLIOMAS

Conference Neuro-Oncology · November 5, 2018 BACKGROUND BMX-001 (MnTnBuOE-2-PyP5+) is a metalloporphyrin with differential action in response to oxidative stress caused by radiation therapy (RT)and chemotherapy, both critical components in the treatment of high-grade gliomas (HGG). In preclinical stu ... Full text Link to item Cite

A phase I study of perifosine with temsirolimus for recurrent pediatric solid tumors.

Conference Pediatr Blood Cancer · July 2017 BACKGROUND: The PI3K/AKT/mTOR pathway is aberrantly activated in many pediatric solid tumors including gliomas and medulloblastomas. Preclinical data in a pediatric glioma model demonstrated that the combination of perifosine (AKT inhibitor) and temsirolim ... Full text Link to item Cite

A phase i study of single-agent perifosine for recurrent or refractory pediatric CNS and solid tumors

Conference Plos One · June 1, 2017 The PI3K/Akt/mTOR signaling pathway is aberrantly activated in various pediatric tumors. We conducted a phase I study of the Akt inhibitor perifosine in patients with recurrent/refractory pediatric CNS and solid tumors. This was a standard 3+3 open-label d ... Full text Cite

Nonclinical Safety and Toxicokinetics of MnTnBuOE-2-PyP5+ (BMX-001).

Conference Int J Toxicol · July 2016 BMX-001, a manganese porphyrin that has anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and antitumor properties, is being developed as a potential therapeutic for high-grade glioma (HGG) and head and neck (H&N) cancer. An IND has been opened for BMX-001 in the treatment ... Full text Link to item Cite

Abstract SY36-03: Intraoperative molecular imaging with protease-activated fluorescent imaging agents

Conference Cancer Research · August 1, 2015 AbstractIntra-operative detection of residual cancer in the tumor bed can be used to decrease the risk of a positive surgical margin, reduce the rate of re-excision, and tailor adjuvant therapy. LUM015 is a ... Full text Cite

Abstract 3774: Hyperthermia treatment overcomes temozolomide resistance in glioma cells by downregulating MGMT expression and increasing temozolomide uptake

Conference Cancer Research · October 1, 2014 AbstractGlioblastoma multiforme (GBM) is the most common and malignant brain tumor. Current standard treatment for GBM following maximum safe resection includes temozolomide (TMZ) with concurrent radiotherap ... Full text Cite

Abstract 4766: The use of deuterium isotope effects to shift the partitioning of cyclophosphamide and ifosfamide among competing, P450-dependent, oxidative pathways

Conference Cancer Research · April 15, 2012 AbstractProdrugs cyclophosphamide and ifosfamide are each ‘activated’ through a P450 oxidation at the C-4 position of the oxazaphosphorine ring. This reaction triggers a series of spontaneous (non-enzymatic) ... Full text Cite
