From human studies of fingolimod in other indications, it is possible to evaluate whether the safety and toxicity profile of the PP2A activators will allow their use in treating AML. A literature review was carried out to assess safety before the commencement of Phase I trials of the PP2A activator Fingolimod in AML. From human studies of fingolimod in other indications, it is possible to evaluate whether the safety and toxicity profile of the PP2A activators will allow their use in treating AML. A systematic review of published literature in Medline, EMBASE and the Cochrane Library of critical reviews was carried out. International standards for the design and reporting of search strategies were followed. Search terms and medical subject headings used in trials involving PP2A activators as well as a specific search were performed for 'adverse events','serious adverse events', 'delays in treatment', ' side effects' and 'toxicity' for primary objectives. Database searches were limited to papers published in the last 12 years and available in English. The search yielded 677 articles. A total of 69 journal articles were identified as relevant and included 30 clinical trials, 24 review articles and 15 case reports. The most frequently reported adverse events were nausea, diarrhoea, fatigue, back pain, influenza viral infections, nasopharyngitis and bronchitis. Specific safety concerns include monitoring of the heart rate and conduction at commencement of treatment as cardiotoxicity has been reported. There is little evidence to suggest specific bone marrow toxicity. Lymophopenia is a desired effect in the management of multiple sclerosis, but may have implications in patients with acute leukaemia as it may potentially increase susceptibility to viral infections such as influenza. Fingolimod is a potential treatment option for AML with an acceptable risk to benefit ratio, given its lack of bone marrow toxicity and the relatively low rate of serious side effects. As most patients with AML are elderly, specific monitoring for cardiac toxicity as well as infection would be required.]]> Thu 28 Oct 2021 13:02:45 AEDT ]]> https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:27930 s, was -0.34 and -0.30 respectively, p<0.05) and positively correlated with the ELISA MP-activity assay (r_s=0.42 for both, p<0.05). In addition, endothelial MV levels weakly correlated with white cell counts (r_s = 0.27, p<0.05). Conclusions Thrombin generation and flow cytometry for phosphatidylserine or tissue factor expressing MV correlate well as markers for procoagulant activity. A combination of optical or non-optical enumeration as well as functional methods may be required for a complete profiling of circulating MV.]]> Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:36:09 AEDT ]]>
