Introduction: The main obstacle in treating cancer patients is drug resistance. Lenvatinib treatment poses challenges due to loss of response and the common dose-limiting adverse events (AEs). The Constrained-disorder-principle (CDP)-based second-generation artificial intelligence (AI) systems introduce variability into treatment regimens and offer a potential strategy for enhancing treatment efficacy.

Article Synopsis
  • Oral anti-CD3 antibodies were tested for safety and effectiveness in patients with NASH, showing positive effects on liver health and insulin resistance.
  • In a Phase-IIa trial, nine patients per group received varying doses of oral OKT3 or a placebo for 30 days, with results indicating it was well tolerated and induced regulatory T cells.
  • The treatment led to significant improvements in liver enzymes, glucose levels, and other immune responses, suggesting potential for future research on anti-CD3 immunotherapy for NASH.

Introduction: Parenteral OKT3 is used to treat transplant rejection and a humanized anti-CD3 Mab has shown positive clinical effects in new onset diabetes. Oral administration of anti-CD3 has not been tested in humans, but suppresses autoimmunity in animal models. Beta-glucosylceramide enhances NKT cell and regulatory T cell activity and enhances the effects of oral anti-CD3 in animals.

Aim: To assess the safety and efficacy of antioxidant therapy for patients with chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection.

Methods: One hundred chronic HCV infection patients failed in interferon treatment were enrolled and randomly assigned to receive combined intravenous and oral antioxidants or placebo, or oral treatment alone. Primary end points were liver enzymes, HCV-RNA levels and histology.
