Metastatic sporadic malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumor (sMPNST) is associated with only 17% five-year survival rate using standard chemotherapy and there are no 10-year survival reports with the exception of a case report wherein a patient with metastatic sMPNST is still alive with no active disease and on no further cancer therapy, >12 years from DeltaRex-G treatment initiation. In this case report, we describe an interim alternative treatment regimen designed and used by a patient with metastatic sMPNST, while awaiting the return, GMP bioproduction, and QC certification of DeltaRex-G as a potential treatment option. We report on the successful control of metastatic tumor growth over a one-year treatment period using the Hope Protocol consisting of artemisinin, curcumin, cannabis oil, disulfiram, fenbendazole, mebendazole, albendazole, atorvastatin, doxycycline, vitamin C, vitamin E, a plant-based diet, sans refined sugar, yoga, acupuncture, meditation, exercise and hot sauna, and we discuss their biochemical mechanisms of action.

2090 Background: The most effective and least toxic treatment regimen for primary CNS lymphoma is a matter of debate. Most current regimens utilize various doses of high-dose methotrexate combined with other agents. The utility of deferred radiation is also under study. Methods: We evaluated 28 patients with primary CNS lymphoma treated with methotrexate 3.5 g/m2 and rituximab, as well as alternative regimens. Median, 12-month, and 24-month survival were compared for the various treatment regimens, as well as for patients who received radiation and those who did not. Results: Survival rates were significantly better in the methotrexate-rituximab treatment cohort than the other regimens examined (Log-Rank p-value 0.0437). 12-month survival for the methotrexate-rituximab cohort was 72.7% (95% CI, 37.1% to 90.3%) versus the alternative treatment cohort 12-month survival of 49.4% (95% CI, 23.7% to 70.8%). 24-month survival for the methotrexate-rituximab cohort was 72.7% (95% CI, 37.1% to 90.3%) versus the alternative treatment cohort 24-month survival of 39.5% (95% CI, 14.9% to 63.6%). Median survival for the alternative treatment cohort was 11 months (95% CI, 2.2 to 28.6), while the median survival for the methotrexate-rituximab regimen was not reached. Stratified by radiation, survival rates were significantly better in the radiation cohort than the cohort without radiation (Log-Rank p-value 0.0040). 12-month survival for the radiation cohort was 90% (95% CI, 47.3% to 98.5%) versus the cohort without radiation 12-month survival of 40.5% (95% CI, 17.7% to 62.3%). 24-month survival for the radiation cohort was 90% (95% CI, 47.3% to 98.5%) versus the cohort without radiation 24-month survival of 33.7% (95% CI, 12.9% to 56.1%). Median follow-up for all patients was 21.5 months (95% CI, 16 to 42.1). Conclusions: The combination of methotrexate at 3.5 g/m2 with rituximab is a valid treatment regimen for primary CNS lymphoma. Patients may be spared toxicity by using a methotrexate dose of 3.5 g/m2 rather than 8 g/m2. The addition of radiation provided a significant survival advantage in this observational study, however, radiation deferred until progression may be a viable alternative.

In the period of the epidemic rise in the incidence rate of influenza in 2015-2016 on the basis of infectious hospitals in Simferopol, Arkhangelsk and Samara, there performed a multicenter to evaluate the effectiveness and economic feasibility of two alternative treatment regimens for influenza A (H1N1) pdm09 patients. The study included 88 patients with a laboratory-confirmed diagnosis of influenza A (H1N1)pdm09. Patients of the main group (n = 46) received complex therapy with the use of antiviral (oseltamivir) and immunomodulating (interferon gamma) agents. Patients of the control group (n = 40) received only antiviral therapy (oseltamivir). To assess the effectiveness and economic feasibility of the two different treatment regimens, the outcome of the disease was analyzed: the discharge the hospital up to the 10th day of the illness and no symptoms of the disease by the 3-6th day of treatment. The supplementation of recombinant interferon gamma in the treatment regimen of influenza A (H1N1) pdm09 patients was found to promote the faster release of catarrhal and respiratory symptoms of the disease: the absence of dry cough by the 3-6th day of treatment (RR = 1.43, 95% CI: 0.86 - 2.38), rhinitis (RR 1.21, 95% CI 1.05-1.40) and dyspnea (RR= 1.28, 95% CI: 1.06-1.54). In addition, the supplementation of recombinant interferon gamma in the treatment regimen of patients with influenza A (H1N1)pdm09 promoted a significant shortening of time of the recovery and discharge from the hospital (RR =1.39, 95% CI: 0.97 - 2.00). Clinical and economic analysis of the use of two alternative treatment regimens has shown the supplementation of recombinant interferon gamma in the therapy of influenza A (H1N1) pdm09 patients to be economically favorable
