Jul 19, 2010 Purpose We previously reported our results with a single-agent arsenic trioxide (ATO) based regimen in newly diagnosed cases of acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL). The concern remained about the long-term outcome of this well-tolerated regimen. We report our long-term follow-up data on the same cohort. Patients and Methods From January 1998 to December 2004, 72 patients with PML/RAR APL ...

Jun 29, 2021 Arsenic. Arsenic is a naturally occurring element that is widely distributed in soils and minerals. Humans are regularly exposed to small amounts of arsenic in the air we breathe, the water we drink and the plants we eat. Arsenic is used as a pesticide primarily to preserve wood from rot and decay. In the past, arsenic was also used in rat ...

Background As an inorganic compound used to treat various cancers and other diseases, arsenic trioxide (As2O3) has been reported to induce cellular apoptosis in certain kinds of cancers including bladder cancer. The aim of the present study was to elucidate the crucial cooperative role of As2O3and intravesical bacillus Calmette-Guerin (BCG) immunotherapy and its ability to protect against bladder cancer by targeting the
Arsenic trioxide inhibits growth and promotes apoptosis in many different cancer cell lines. The National Cancer Institute is working cooperatively with research centers across the U.S. to evaluate its clinical activity in hematologic malignancies, such as acute promyelocytic leukemia, acute myeloid leukemia, acute lymphocytic leukemia, chronic myelogenous leukemia, non-Hodgkins lymphoma, Hodgkins disease, chronic
Apr 01, 2001 In a study of arsenic trioxide for the treatment of AML, patients older than 65 years with refractory, relapsed, or newly diagnosed AML were eligible for this trial. The Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group recently activated a trial of the compound in patients with relapsed or refractory ALL.

May 12, 2021 Arsenic trioxide Accord is used to treat adults (aged 18 years or over) with acute promyelocytic leukaemia (APL), a rare form of leukaemia (cancer of the white blood cells) caused by a genetic translocation (when there is a swap of genes between two chromosomes). The translocation affects the way the white blood cells grow, and as a ...
Jun 03, 2015 As a result, glucose carbon is completely away from mitochondria, and glutamine is essential to maintain TCA cycle activity, which made c-Myc-transformed cells susceptible to inhibition of mitochondrial electron transport chain36,39, which might explain cooperative effects of 10058F4 with arsenic trioxide, because arsenic trioxide is a ...
Arsenic trioxide causes morphological changes and DNA fragmentation characteristic of apoptosis in NB4 human promyelocytic leukemia cells in vitro. Arsenic trioxide also causes damage or degradation of the fusion protein PML/RAR-alpha. It is suspected that arsenic trioxide induces cancer cells to undergo apoptosis.
Arsenic, an ancient drug used in traditional Chinese medicine, has attracted worldwide interest because it shows substantial anticancer activity in patients with acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL). Arsenic trioxide (As 2 O 3 ) exerts its therapeutic effect by promoting degradation of an oncogenic protein that drives the growth of APL cells, PML-RAR (a fusion protein containing sequences from ...
Feb 14, 2014 The outcome of treatment of acute promyelocytic leukaemia (APL) has significantly improved over the last two decades with the recognition of the importance of anthracyclines, the introduction of alltrans retinoic acid (ATRA) and arsenic trioxide (ATO), and improved supportive care measures.(Wang Chen, 2008 Sanz LoCoco, 2011) Following anthracyclinebased chemotherapy and ATRA ...

Patients and ...
Nov 27, 2020 Arsenic compounds such as arsenic trioxide are soluble in bodily fluids and cleared rapidly from the lungs. Less soluble arsenic compounds (calcium arsenate, lead arsenate, arsenic sulphide) are retained in the lungs and 80-90% of arsenic trioxide is absorbed by the gastrointestinal tract. Dermal absorption is likely to be low.

Arsenic trioxide (Trisenox, ATO) Arsenic trioxide is a chemotherapy drug and is also called Trisenox or ATO. It is a treatment for a type of acute myeloid leukaemia called acute promyelocytic leukaemia (APL). How it works. Arsenic works by speeding up the death of leukaemic cells and encouraging normal blood cells to
Nov 11, 2010 Arsenic trioxide is then used to get them back into remission, often followed by a bone marrow transplant to try to cure the patient. For this study, we used arsenic as an early consolidation therapy after the initial standard treatment to essentially, as one of our first patients described, seal the
Most agricultural uses of arsenic have been banned in the United States. The last agricultural use of inorganic arsenic, arsenic acid on cotton, was canceled voluntarily in 1993. Inorganic arsenic compounds (arsenic acid, arsenic trioxide and sodium arsenate) currently are used only in sealed ant baits and in wood preservatives.
Nov 03, 2020 If there is a positive arsenic test from a heavy metal screen this need to distinguish between the organic (most likely cause) between inorganic exposure. Decontamination Whole bowel irrigation with polyethylene glycol if the patient is cooperative and presents with arsenic trioxide poisoning (radio-opaque).
Sep 01, 2015 These data indicate that for high-risk patients, arsenic trioxide given as part of induction and in two cycles of consolidation can successfully substitute for intensification of chemotherapy, which typically involves the use of intermediate-dose or high-dose cytarabine, and

Daily intravenous arsenic trioxide administered with all-trans retinoid acid, the standard-of-care for acute promyelocytic leukemia, is costly and challenging to administer. ORH-2014 is a novel, oral arsenic trioxide formulation, consisting of micron-size drug particles with rapid dissolution and high bioavailability. We conducted a multicenter phase 1 dose-escalating study in patients with ...
Sep 20, 2005 With arsenic trioxide (ATO) monotherapy remission rates over 80% were achieved and long-lasting molecular remissions are described. The drug was mostly well tolerated. ATO exerts a dose dependent dual effect on APL blasts, apoptosis in higher and partial differentiation in lower concentrations.
