AI Article Synopsis
- CI-958 is a new synthetic drug that shows promise as a cancer treatment for children, believed to have less heart toxicity than traditional options.
- In a study with children and adolescents who had recurrent solid tumors, the drug was given in escalating doses, with an initial dose of 450 mg/m².
- The maximum tolerated dose was determined to be 650 mg/m², but no antitumor activity was observed in the participants.
Article Abstract
Background: CI-958 is a synthetic intercalating agent of a new chemical class, the benzopyranoindazoles, with promising preclinical activity. Its mechanism of action is thought to be stabilization of the cleavable complex of DNA with topoisomerase II, as well as DNA helicase blockade. It is thought to have less cardiotoxicity than the anthracyclines. Early Phase I studies in adults showed the drug to be well tolerated, making it an attractive agent to pursue in Phase I clinical trials in children.
Methods: Children and adolescents with recurrent solid tumors received CI-958 at an initial dose of 450 mg/m(2) over 2 hours. Dose escalation was performed in a standard fashion in cohorts of three patients until dose limiting toxicity and the maximum tolerated dose were determined.
Results: Twenty-one patients were entered on the study. The maximum tolerated dose was found to be 650 mg/m(2). Dose limiting toxicities were Grade 4 neutropenia and Grade 4 hypotension at the dose level of 700 mg/m(2).
Conclusions: The maximum tolerated dose of CI-958 in children and adolescents is 650 mg/m(2). No antitumor activity has been observed.

Sacubitril/valsartan, a first-in-class angiotensin receptor neprilysin inhibitor, is widely used to treat heart failure. Despite its efficacy, sacubitril/valsartan inevitably causes adverse events such as hypotension, renal dysfunction, hyperkalemia, and angioedema. Sacubitril/valsartan-associated ototoxicity is often underreported in clinical studies and real-world settings.

This study investigated the prevalence and severity of lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) in children with spastic cerebral palsy (SCP) and evaluated the effect of selective dorsal rhizotomy (SDR) in alleviating these symptoms. The study also explored the correlation between postoperative LUTS improvement and intraoperative electrophysiological findings. Prospective data were collected from a consecutive cohort of 247 children with SCP who underwent SDR and were retrospectively analyzed.
