Abstract:
The escalation with overdose control (EWOC) method is a popular modelbased dose finding design for phase I clinical trials. Dose finding for combined drugs has grown rapidly in oncology drug development. A two-dimensional EWOC design is proposed for dose finding with two agents in combination based on a four-parameter logistic regression model. During trial conduct, the posterior distribution of the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) combination is updated continuously in order to find the appropriate dose combination for each cohort of patients. The probability that the next dose combination excee

Abstract:
Colorectal cancer is the second most common cancer in women and third in men, accounting for 9.7 % of all cancers incidence. Oxaliplatin is a platinum-based anticancer drug used typically in combination with folinic acid and 5-fluorouracil for treatment against colorectal cancer. However, numerous side effects such as nausea and vomiting, GI toxicity, anaemia, immunodeficiency, ototoxicity, nephrotoxicity, and neurotoxicity are associated with its use. These can be decreased by lowering dose of oxaliplatin. Phytochemicals that can act as antioxidants have been used by people in treatment again

Abstract:
This study focused on the sequenced combinations of platinum drugs cisplatin and oxaliplatin and four phytochemicals celastrol, guggulsterone, garcinol and ellagic acid administered to human ovarian lines A2780, A2780cisR and A2780ZD0473R. Among the phytochemicals, celastrol is most active having comparable activity against all the three ovarian tumour models. As applied to binary combinations of platinum drugs and the phytochemicals, it was found that generally synergism was greater at higher concentrations (ED75 and ED90) of drugs than at lower concentrations (ED50) in all three cell lines.

Abstract:
Colorectal cancer is the second most leading cause of death among all reported cancer mortality. Chemotherapy is the treatment of choice to treat metastasized colorectal cancer patients. Combined administration of drugs having different mechanism of actions has been demonstrated better efficacy than conventional monotherapy. Epidemiological data suggests that consumption of phytochemicals has a great impact in prevention and treatment of colorectal cancer. In this study four phytochemicals including curcumin, colchicine, EGCG and taxol were combined with cisplatin and oxaliplatin in a binary m

Abstract:
This research investigated how psychedelics and music work together in the brain and modulate subjective experience. Chapter 1 highlighted the prominent role of music in psychedelic therapy in the 1950s and 1960s, and how music continues to be used in modern psychotherapeutic trials with psychedelics. Although ‘psychedelic therapy’ shows promising findings for mental health care, little is known empirically about the therapeutic functions of music. The primary objective of this thesis was to address this knowledge gap, via studying the effects of psychedelics and music on human brain function

Abstract:
Head and neck cancer is the sixth leading cancer worldwide. Head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) accounts for more than 90% of incident cases. Despite intense, multimodality treatment regimens for HNSCC including surgery, chemotherapy, and radiation, little progress has been made over the past 30 years in improving overall survival rates. Tumor cell death induced by both conventional and targeted chemotherapy is often mediated by the BCL-2 family-dependent mitochondrial apoptotic pathway. However, initiators of this apoptotic pathway, such as p53, are more than 50% of the time muta

Ovarian cancer is known as one of the dreaded diseases due to its low five years’ survival, acquired drug resistance and recurrence. It is treated mainly by platinum drugs given alone or in combination with paclitaxel. However, problems of drug resistance that is often acquired still remain. While resistance to platinum drugs at the molecular level can be due to overexpression of nuclear factor kappa B (NF-κB) and protein kinase B (AKT/PKB) pathways, it is believed that phytochemicals and other natural compounds can inhibit expression of NF-κB and AKT/PKB.

One new approach in cancer treatment is inhibition of tumor angiogenesis, i.e., of new blood vessel growth into the tumor.

Abstract:
Melanoma is the deadliest form of skin cancer and one of the most difficult cancers to treat. Gene alterations identified in melanoma pointed to distinct molecular subsets of tumors with direct implications in therapeutic strategies. Activating mutations in NRAS, found in 20-30% of melanomas have been associated with aggressive clinical behavior and a poor prognosis. Nevertheless, there is lack of effective targeted therapies for NRAS mutant melanoma.Out of the few MEK inhibitors, pimasertib, a potent inhibitor of both MEK1 and MEK2 has showed promising results in NRAS mutant advanced melanoma

Abstract:
At the present, researchers are not able to predict which individual patients might be susceptible to developing AML. Current research carried out in various laboratories is focused on identifying potential markers that would allow for identification of such patients. The analysis of gene expression profiles of cells treated with the FAC drug regime gave an insight on the impact that the chemotherapeutics have on non-cancerous cells. Exposure to the FAC drug regime caused many changes in gene expression profiles of treated cells. Experiments examining the impact of single doses treatments and

Abstract:
Molto spesso le persone in cura presso gli ospedali possono soffrire di strani effetti collaterali di cui non si conosce minimamente l’origine. In alcuni casi questo può derivare da una sbagliata prescrizione di medicinali al paziente. Ben noto nella medicina sono gli effetti che una medicina può causare somministrata con un altra allo stesso tempo. Quello che non si conosce, è il risultato di una somministrazione multipla, ovvero quando più medicinali vengono somministrati contemporaneamente. Il problema che vogliamo affrontare in questa tesi è quello di capire se sia possibile usare le i
