Stage 2 combination testing of rapamycin with cytotoxic agents by the Pediatric Preclinical Testing Program.
Rapamycin demonstrated broad-spectrum tumor growth inhibition activity against the in vivo panels of childhood tumors used in the Pediatric Preclinical Testing Program (PPTP). Here we have evaluated rapamycin combined with agents used frequently in the treatment of childhood malignancies. Rapamycin was tested in vitro against 23 cell lines alone or in combination with melphalan, cisplatin, vinc...
متن کاملPediatric Preclinical Testing Program (PPTP) – May 2012
In vitro testing: In vitro testing was performed using DIMSCAN, a semiautomatic fluorescencebased digital image microscopy system that quantifies viable (using fluorescein diacetate [FDA]) cell numbers in tissue culture multiwell plates [1]. Cells were incubated in the presence of drug for 96 hours. Mean fluorescence values were determined for each concentration tested and then normalized to th...
متن کاملCediranib/AZD2171 inhibits bone and brain metastasis in a preclinical model of advanced prostate cancer.
Late stage or aggressive cancers exhibit metastatic growth at multiple sites, and the characterization of treatment response in various organs to drugs with potentially wide-ranging efficacy is needed. Tumor cells that induce angiogenesis are a common characteristic of metastatic disease, and clinically, antiangiogenic therapies have shown value in the setting of advanced cancer. However, recen...
