Major findings a ; One CTC PA application covered by Decision X 14: The mission identified that, in 2004, a total of 1.25 MT CTC was used in synthesis plant of Shenyang Chemical Co. Ltd. #18 ; as a process agent for removing NCl3 from liquid chlorine production. This application was outlined by Decision X 14 listed No.1 of the 25 ; but not reported in China. Such application should be further investigated and appended to the PA Sector Phase I ; . Major findings b ; - Illegal uses of CTC for cleaning purpose: The mission identified that, in 2004, a total of 3.25 MT CTC was used in fertilizer plant and ethanediol plant of Jilin Chemical Industrial Co., Ltd. #51 ; as a solvent for cleaning purpose under its CTC PA consumption quota. This kind of use of CTC should be strictly banned. Major finding c ; - Unqcceptable CTC trades between PA plants and unlicensed vendors: The mission identified that, in 2004, two PA enterprises Jilin Chemical and Fujian Wantaixing ; purchased their CTC more than 1, 000 MT ; from unlicensed CTC vendors. Considering that 2004 was the first year of implementing CTC sales license system, it is understood some trading companies need a period of time to sell their inventories of CTC. However, Jilin Chemical #51 ; purchased 907.753 MT of CTC from unlicensed company in the last 3 months in 2004. These purchases are unacceptable. This indicates that illegal trades and or illegal productions of CTC might exist in China and needs to be adverted. Major finding d ; Different understanding of CTC consumption: The mission had a different understanding of CTC consumption with SEPA. From their point of view, CTC CONSUMPTION is defined as CTC PURCHASE. So they issued CTC consumption quota for controlling the amount of CTC purchased by PA enterprises. One of the results of this definition was that some PA enterprises purchased large amount of CTC by the end of 2004 e.g. Zhejiang Xin'an purchased 100 MT of CTC and Jiangyin Fasten purchased 210 MT of CTC ; for future uses. Therefore, when China stops the CTC CONSUMPTION as required by the Agreement, these enterprises could continue their production consuming CTC for at least one year.

In a study of 20 HIV-infected patients receiving abacavir 300 mg twice daily, with only one 300 mg dose taken prior to the sampling time, the geometric mean terminal carbovir-TP intracellular half-life at steady-state was 20.6 hours, compared to the geometric mean abacavir plasma half-life in this study of 2.6 hours. Similar intracellular kinetics are expected from abacavir 600 mg once daily. These data support the use of abacavir 600 mg once daily for the treatment of HIV infected patients. Additionally, the efficacy of this combination given once daily has been demonstrated in a pivotal clinical study CNA30021- See Clinical experience ; . Genetic analysis of isolates from patients failing an abacavir-containing regimen demonstrated that reverse transcriptase amino acid residue 184 was consistently the most frequent position for NRTI resistance-associated mutations M184V or M184I ; . The second most frequent mutation was L74V. Mutations Y115F and K65R were uncommon. In a study of therapy-naive adults receiving ZIAGEN 600 mg once daily n 384 ; or 300 mg twice daily n 386 ; in a background regimen of lamivudine 300 mg and efavirenz 600 mg once daily Study CNA30021 ; , there was a low overall incidence of virologic failure at 48 weeks in both the once and twice daily treatment groups 10% and 8% respectively ; . Additionally for technical reasons genotyping was restricted to samples with plasma HIV-1 RNA 500 copies ml. This resulted in a small sample size. Therefore no firm conclusions could be drawn regarding differences in treatment emergent mutations between the two treatment groups. Genotypic n 38 ; and phenotypic analyses n 35 ; of virologic failure isolates from this study showed that the abacavir- and lamivudine-associated resistance mutation M184V I was the most commonly observed mutation in virologic failure isolates from patients receiving abacavir lamivudine once daily 56%, 10 18 ; and twice daily 40%, 8 20 ; . L74V, Y115F and K65R were the other RT mutations observed in the study. Thirty-nine percent 7 18 ; of the isolates from patients who experienced virologic failure in the abacavir once-daily arm had a 2.5-fold decrease in abacavir susceptibility with a median-fold decrease of 1.3 range 0.5 to 11 ; compared with 29% 5 17 ; of the failure isolates in the twice-daily arm with a median-fold decrease of 0.92 range 0.7 to 13 ; . Fifty-six percent 10 18 ; of the virologic failure isolates in the once-daily abacavir group compared to 41% 7 17 ; of the failure isolates in the twice-daily abacavir group had a 2.5-fold decrease in lamivudine susceptibility with median-fold changes of 81 range 0.79 to 116 ; and 1.1 range 0.68 to 116 ; in the once-daily and twice-daily abacavir arms, respectively. Cross-Resistance: Cross-resistance has been observed among nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors. Viruses containing abacavir and lamivudine resistance-associated mutations, namely, M184V, L74V, Y115F and K65R, exhibit cross-resistance to didanosine, emtricitabine, lamivudine, tenofovir, and zalcitabine in vitro and in patients. The M184V mutation can confer resistance to abacavir, didanosine, emtricitabine, lamivudine, and zalcitabine; the L74V mutation can confer resistance to abacavir, didanosine, and zalcitabine and the K65R mutation can confer resistance to abacavir, didanosine, emtricitabine, lamivudine, stavudine, tenofovir, and zalcitabine. The combination of abacavir lamivudine has demonstrated decreased susceptibility to viruses with the L74V plus the M184V I mutation, viruses with K65R with or without the M184V I mutation, and viruses with thymidine analog mutations TAMs: M41L, D67N, K70R, L210W, T215Y F, K219 E R H plus M184V. An increasing number of TAMs is associated with a progressive reduction in abacavir susceptibility. Pharmacokinetics Absorption: Abacavirr is rapidly and well absorbed following oral administration. The absolute bioavailability of oral abacavir in adults is about 83%. Following oral administration, the mean time to maximal serum concentrations tmax ; of abacavir is about 1.5 hours for the tablet formulation and about 1.0 hour for the solution formulation and precose.

Bevacizumab AVASTIN ; is a humanized anti-VEGF monoclonal antibody that has meaningful clinical activity in patients with metastatic colorectal cancer. It significantly improves both the progression-free and overall survival of patients when used with standard chemotherapy. While bevacizumab does not increase the incidence of chemotherapy-related toxicities and is generally well tolerated in combination with chemotherapy, there are some adverse side effects for which monitoring is required. In this document, the side effects noted in clinical trials of bevacizumab are reviewed and guidelines for their monitoring and management provided. 1. Adverse events of bevacizumab in combination with chemotherapy Bevacizumab is approved for first-line treatment of metastatic colorectal patients in combination with 5-flourouracil FU ; -based chemotherapy. This includes FU-folinic acid FUFA ; or FU-folinic acid-irinotecan chemotherapy. Bevacizumab also significantly extends the progression-free and overall patient survival when given as second-line treatment with FU-folinic acid-oxaliplatin FOLFOX ; . Bevacizumab does not increase the incidence of chemotherapy-related toxicities, such as neutropenia or diarrhea Table 1 ; 1-3 ; . In addition, the 60-day all-cause mortality for bevacizumab-treated patients is similar to that for chemotherapy alone. There is no evidence of cumulative or late toxicities 4, 5 ; . Table 1.

An intent-to-treat itt ; analysis of patients originally randomized to switch from their protease inhibitor to viramune, efavirenz or abacavir showed that 9 5 percent of patients who switched to viramune, 9 percent of patients who switched to efavirenz and 8 5 percent of patients who switched to abacavir achieved virologic success after three years. Generic name: e: abacavir a-bak-a-veer ; drug manufacturer: glaxo-wellcome common uses: this medicine is a nucleoside analog reverse transcriptase inhibitor nrti ; used along with other medicines to manage human immunodeficiency virus hiv ; infection and alfacalcidol. Abacavir exposed ex vivo cultured PBMCs was observed in hypersensitive patients compared with controls. Hsp70 and HLA-B57 molecules co-localised within discrete vesicles. Conclusions: These data indicate that the presence of HLA-B * 5701 and Hsp70-Hom M493T are predisposing factors in the development of ABC HSR, and implicates them in the generation of a Class I-restricted pathogenic immune response. 5. Subcutaneous Fat Tissue Mitochondrial DNA Depletion and Adipose Toxicity are Strongly Associated with Nucleoside Reverse Transcriptase Inhibitor NRTI ; Therapy in HIV-infected Patients. Researchers: E Hammond, D Nolan, E. McKinnon I James and S. Mallal. Affiliations: Centre for Clinical Immunology and Biomedical Statistics, Murdoch University and Royal Perth Hospital, Perth, Western Australia. Abstract presented at the 5th International Workshop on Adverse Drug Reactions and Lipodystrophy in HIV July 8-11, 2003, Paris France. Objectives Aims: To examine the pathophysiology of lipoatrophy in subcutaneous adipose tissue among Western Australian HIV cohort participants, focusing particularly on the potential role of NRTI-associated mitochondrial toxicity. Methods: We assessed adipocyte mitochondrial DNA mtDNA ; depletion in 92 subcutaneous fat biopsies from 70 HIV + individuals and 7 healthy controls. Confocal microscopy and immunohistochemistry was also performed on 26 longitudinal samples from 12 patients initiating or switching therapy, to assess changes in tissue morphology and mtDNA-encoded COX I ; and nuclear DNA nDNA ; -encoded COX IV ; mitochondrial proteins. Mixed effects models were utilised for data analysis, adjusting for multiple measurements in individuals. Results: Compared with HIV + ART-nave controls n 24, 1288 copies cell ; , median mtDNA copies cell was reduced by 81% in stavudine recipients n 28, 240 copies cell, p 0.0001 ; and by 44% in zidovudine recipients n 29, 726 copies cell, p 0.006 ; . Regimens without stavudine zidovudine n 11, 1514 copies cell ; had similar mtDNA levels to controls p 0.5 ; . Significant differences between stavudine lamivudine n 23 ; and zidovudine lamivudine n 28 ; regimens were also found p 0.002 ; . Commencing switching NRTI therapy was associated with significant changes in mtDNA levels within 2-12 months in sequential biopsy samples n 19, 38 biopsies, p 0.01 ; . No association between mtDNA levels and use of HIV protease inhibitors was detected p 0.6 ; , and CD4 T cell counts at the time of biopsy were also similar between NRTI treatment groups p 0.9 ; . Adipose tissue toxicity correlated with mtDNA depletion and was characterised by adipocyte pleiomorphism and mitochondrial proliferation, progressing to adipocyte loss with marked macrophage infiltration and disordered tissue architecture. Lipidladen macrophages were detected indicating adipocyte apoptosis. In 4 7 biopsies 24. The United States Pharmacopeia USP ; approach for International Standards allows the creation of documentary standards monographs ; for drug substances and drug products that have been approved in and are legally marketed in countries other than the United States and are intended to treat neglected diseases. The purpose of these monographs is to support testing by first e.g., manufacturer ; , second e.g., payors ; , and third e.g., government control laboratories ; parties. Manufacturers wishing to signal conformance to these monographs may use the following block lettersUSP-I.
