چکیده
The “co-clinical trial” project stems from the realization of the tremendous power of preclinical testing of new drugs and drug combinations in faithful genetically engineered mouse (GEM) models of human cancer. A “GEM to human” or “preclinical to clinical” approach has already proven to be highly effective toward the eradication of a subset of diseases [e.g., acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL)] in which the genetic defects are defined and “druggable” targets and targeted therapies have been identified. In this article, we discuss how we propose to export this paradigm for the optimization of therapy in other tumor types, and in principle to any disease, using the more refined GEM models and more sophisticated modeling capability currently available. We review how the co-clinical trial project is aimed at overcoming four fundamental challenges to making the use of preclinical models transformative in the real-time design of effective and informative clinical trials and ultimately, disease eradication:

Clinical experience of arsenic trioxide in relapsed acute promyelocytic leukemia.
Acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL) has unique clinical, cytogenetic, and molecular features and is one of the most potentially curable human malignancies. The current standard treatment given to patients with newly diagnosed APL consists of all-trans retinoic acid and anthracycline-based cytotoxic chemotherapy, which is highly effective for remission induction. However, despite the potential fo...
متن کاملComparative Clinical Trial of Mebendazole, Praziquantel and Metronidazole in Treatment of Human Giardiasis
Background: Giardia lamblia is a common intestinal parasite associated with social or personal problems. Giardiasis is distributed all over the world; however, the infection is more prevalent in developing countries. Metronidazole is now considered as a drug of choice for giardiasis treatment. The increasing number of reports of refractory cases as well as side effects of this ...

Background and purpose: Ôf the agents involved in stroke, is presence of antiphospholipid antibody in serum of the patients. Ïn recent years, in addition to cardiolipin antibody (aÇL) another antiphospholipid antibody (aPL) was identified as the predispousing factor of stroke. Ïn the present study, in addition to the identification of higher than normal level of aÇL and aPL, prevalence rate o...
متن کاملReduction of some atherogenic indices in patients with non-alcoholic fatty liver by Vitamin D and calcium co-supplementation: a double blind randomized controlled clinical trial
The role of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) as a potential independent cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk factor has recently gained considerable attention because CVD is the common cause of death in NAFLD patients. We aimed to estimate the effects of vitamin D supplementation alone or in combination with calcium on atherogenic indices, liver function tests and grade of disease in pati...
متن کاملThe APL paradigm and the "co-clinical trial" project.
Tremendous advances in technologies have allowed the attainment of powerful insights into the molecular and genetic determinants that drive human cancers. However, this acquired knowledge has been translated into effective therapeutics very slowly, in part due to difficulty in predicting which drug or drug combination is likely to be effective in the complex mutational background of human cance...
