  • FARYDAK (Panobinostat) RATIONALE for INCLUSION in PA PROGRAM
    FARYDAK (panobinostat) RATIONALE FOR INCLUSION IN PA PROGRAM Background Farydak (panobinostat) is the first histone deacetylase (HDAC) inhibitor approved to treat multiple myeloma in patients who have received at least two prior standard therapies, including bortezomib and an immunomodulatory agent. Farydak is to be used in combination with bortezomib, a type of chemotherapy, and dexamethasone, an anti-inflammatory medication. Multiple myeloma causes plasma cells to rapidly multiply and crowd out other healthy blood cells from the bone marrow. When the bone marrow has too many plasma cells, the cells may move to other parts of the body. Farydak works by inhibiting the activity of enzymes, known as histone deacetylases (HDACs). The inhibition of these enzymes may slow the over development of plasma cells in multiple myeloma patients or cause these dangerous cells to die (1). Regulatory Status FDA-approved indication: Farydak, a histone deacetylase inhibitor, in combination with bortezomib and dexamethasone, is indicated for the treatment of patients with multiple myeloma who have received at least 2 prior regimens, including bortezomib and an immunomodulatory agent (2). Farydak carries a Boxed Warning alerting patients and health care professionals that severe diarrhea and severe and fatal cardiac events, arrhythmias and electrocardiogram (ECG) changes have occurred in patients receiving Farydak. Arrhythmias may be exacerbated by electrolyte abnormalities. The most common laboratory abnormalities were low levels of phosphorus in the blood (hypophosphatemia), low potassium levels in the blood (hypokalemia), low levels of salt in the blood (hyponatremia), increased creatinine, low platelets (thrombocytopenia), low white blood cell counts (leukopenia) and low red blood cell counts (anemia).

  • Use of Fluorescence to Guide Resection Or Biopsy of Primary Brain Tumors and Brain Metastases
    Neurosurg Focus 36 (2):E10, 2014 ©AANS, 2014 Use of fluorescence to guide resection or biopsy of primary brain tumors and brain metastases *SERGE MARBACHER, M.D., M.SC.,1,5 ELISABETH KLINGER, M.D.,2 LUCIA SCHWYZER, M.D.,1,5 INGEBORG FISCHER, M.D.,3 EDIN NEVZATI, M.D.,1 MICHAEL DIEPERS, M.D.,2,5 ULRICH ROELCKE, M.D.,4,5 ALI-REZA FATHI, M.D.,1,5 DANIEL COLUCCIA, M.D.,1,5 AND JAVIER FANDINO, M.D.1,5 Departments of 1Neurosurgery, 2Neuroradiology, 3Pathology, and 4Neurology, and 5Brain Tumor Center, Kantonsspital Aarau, Aarau, Switzerland Object. The accurate discrimination between tumor and normal tissue is crucial for determining how much to resect and therefore for the clinical outcome of patients with brain tumors. In recent years, guidance with 5-aminolev- ulinic acid (5-ALA)–induced intraoperative fluorescence has proven to be a useful surgical adjunct for gross-total resection of high-grade gliomas. The clinical utility of 5-ALA in resection of brain tumors other than glioblastomas has not yet been established. The authors assessed the frequency of positive 5-ALA fluorescence in a cohort of pa- tients with primary brain tumors and metastases. Methods. The authors conducted a single-center retrospective analysis of 531 patients with intracranial tumors treated by 5-ALA–guided resection or biopsy. They analyzed patient characteristics, preoperative and postoperative liver function test results, intraoperative tumor fluorescence, and histological data. They also screened discharge summaries for clinical adverse effects resulting from the administration of 5-ALA. Intraoperative qualitative 5-ALA fluorescence (none, mild, moderate, and strong) was documented by the surgeon and dichotomized into negative and positive fluorescence.

A dual drug-loaded delivery system based on mPEG-PLGA nanoparticles (NPs) was developed to potentiate chemotherapy efficacy for glioblastoma. PTX/TMZ-NPs were prepared with double emulsification solvent evaporation method and exhibited a relatively uniform diameter of 206.3 ± 14.7 nm. The NPs showed sustained release character. Cytotoxicity assays showed the best synergistic effects were achieved when the weight ratios of PTX to TMZ were 1:5 and 1:100 on U87 and C6 cells, respectively. PTX/TMZ-NPs showed better inhibition effect to U87 and C6 cells than single drug NPs or free drugs mixture. PTX/TMZ-NPs (PTX: TMZ was 1:5(w/w)) significantly inhibited the tumor growth in the subcutaneous U87 mice model.
