Pediatric 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 کاملStage 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...

Osteosarcoma, the most common malignant bone tumor of childhood, is a high-grade primary bone sarcoma that occurs mostly in adolescence. Standard treatment consists of surgery in combination with multi-agent chemotherapy regimens. The development and approval of imatinib for Philadelphia chromosome-positive acute lymphoblastic leukemia in children and the fully human monoclonal antibody, anti-G...
متن کاملMolecular characterization of the pediatric preclinical testing panel.
PURPOSE Identifying novel therapeutic agents for the treatment of childhood cancers requires preclinical models that recapitulate the molecular characteristics of their respective clinical histotypes. EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN AND RESULTS Here, we have applied Affymetrix HG-U133Plus2 profiling to an expanded panel of models in the Pediatric Preclinical Testing Program. Profiling led to exclusion of...
متن کاملPhase I trial of VNP40101M (Cloretazine) in children with recurrent brain tumors: a pediatric brain tumor consortium study.
PURPOSE VNP40101M (Cloretazine), a novel DNA alkylating agent, was evaluated in a phase I study in children with recurrent brain tumors. EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN VNP40101M was given i.v. daily for 5 consecutive days every 6 weeks for up to eight cycles. Dose escalation was done independently in patients stratified based on intensity of prior therapy (moderately pretreated, stratum I; heavily pretr...
