Platelet Dynamics in Peritoneal Carcinomatosis Patients Treated with Cytoreductive Surgery and Hyperthermic Intraperitoneal Oxaliplatin
Journal Title: The AAPS Journal - Year 2016, Vol 18, Issue 1
Abstract
The aim of the study was to characterize the platelet count (PLT) dynamics in peritoneal carcinomatosis patients treated with cytoreductive surgery (CRS) and hyperthermic intraperitoneal oxaliplatin (HIO). Data from patients treated with CRS alone (N = 18) or CRS and HIO (N = 62) were used to estimate the baseline platelet count (PLT0), rate constants for platelet maturation (ktr) and platelet random destruction (ks), feedback on progenitor cell proliferation (γ), and the drug-specific model parameters (α, β). Plasma oxaliplatin concentrations, Cp, reduced the proliferation rate of progenitor cells (kprol) according to a power function α × Cpβ. The surgery effect on kprol and ks was explored. The typical values (between subject variability) of the PLT0, ktr, ks, γ, α, and β were estimated to be 237 × 109 cells/L (32.9%), 7.09 × 10−3 h−1 (47.1%), 8.86 × 10−3 h−1 (80.0%), 0.621, 0.88 L/mg (56.9%), and 2.63. Surgery induced a maximal 2.09-fold increase in kprol that was attenuated with a half-life of 8.42 days. Splenectomy decreased ks by 47.5%. Age, sex, body surface area, sex, total proteins, and HIO carrier solution did not impact the model parameters. The model developed suggests that, following CRS and HIO, thrombocytopenia and thrombocytosis were reversible and short-lasting; the severity of the thrombocytopenia and thrombocytosis was inversely correlated, with splenectomized patients having thrombocytopenia of lower severity and thrombocytosis of higher severity; and the HIO dose and treatment duration determine the severity and duration of the thrombocytopenia. Higher HIO dose or longer treatment duration could be used without substantially increasing the risk of major hematological toxicity.

Comparison of the rates of deamidation, diketopiperazine formation, and oxidation in recombinant human vascular endothelial growth factor and model peptides
In this work, we examine the way in which stability information obtained from studies on small model peptides correlates with similar information acquired from a protein. The rates of deamidation, oxidation, and diketopi...

G-protein-coupled receptors are a major target for the development of new marketable drugs. A growing number of studies have shown that these receptors could bind to their ligands, signal, and be internalized as dimers....
Current methodology to assess bioequivalence of levothyroxine sodium products is inadequate
Levothyroxine sodium is a drug with a narrow therapeutic index for which an individual patient must have his or her dose carefully titrated to achieve the necessary therapeutic effect. In addition, exogenous levothyroxin...
