For the purpose of evaluation of clinical efficacy, safety and usefulness on Salmonella enteritis, T-3262 (Tosufloxacin tosilate), a newly developed pyridone-carboxylic acid derivative, was administered to a total of 103 patients and carriers. In addition, in vitro antibacterial activity of T-3262 was determined against the clinical isolates, and compared with those of nalidixic acid (NA), pipemidic acid (PPA), enoxacin (ENX), norfloxacin (NFLX) and ofloxacin (OFLX). And when T-3262 was administered to the patients of acute infectious enteritis, fecal drug concentration and their correlation to the changes in the fecal microflora were investigated. The daily dose of 450 mg T-3262 was administered orally three times after meal for 7 days. A total of 63 cases were evaluated (one case of mixed infection caused by Shigella flexneri and Salmonella sp. was included). The clinical efficacy was good in all the enteritis (N = 6). As the bacteriological effect, 60 out of 61 were eradicated, and eradication rate was 98.4%. Adverse effects were observed in four of 102 cases (3.9%), consisting of one with skin rash, one with nausea, headache and stomatitis and two with soft stools. Deteriorations in laboratory findings were seen in 5 of 23 cases (17.4%), consisting of one with elevated GOT, two with elevated GOT and GPT, one with elevated BUN and one with increased eosinophiles count, although they were all slight in degree. MICs of T-3262 which inhibited 90% of the isolates of Salmonella spp. was 0.05 microgram/ml, which was the lowest among the quinolone derivatives tested. The values of the fecal drug concentration of 7 cases of acute infectious enteritis, to which T-3262 administered, were higher than that of MIC90 and recovery rates of T-3262 were distributed from 2.85 to 46.3%. The degrees of changes of the drug concentrations were dependent on individual cases, and did not show the same trend. In addition, changes in the fecal microflora with in 24 hrs after T-3262 administration did not show the same trend.

Lomefloxacin (NY-198), a new antimicrobial quinolone, was examined for its antimicrobial activities against clinical isolates and clinical efficacies to biliary tract infections. The following results were obtained. 1. The MICs of NY-198 against Escherichia coli (20 strains) and Klebsiella pneumoniae (20 strains) were good and similar to those of ofloxacin (OFLX) or norfloxacin (NFLX). The MICs of NY-198 against Pseudomonas aeruginosa (20 strains) were inferior by 1 dilution factor to OFLX or NFLX, and against Enterococcus faecalis (10 strains), they were similar to NFLX and slightly inferior to OFLX. 2. NY-198 was administered to 8 patients with biliary tract infections (acute cholecystitis 7 cases, chronic cholangitis 1 case). The results were good in 7 and unevaluable in 1 case because the duration of the therapy was too short. 3. As for side effects, mild urticaria was observed in 1 case and epigastralgia with nausea in another. As for abnormal laboratory test values slight elevations of GOT and GPT were recognized in 1 case. 4. In conclusion, we consider NY-198 is a useful oral drug for the treatment of biliary tract infections.

A phase II study of bronchial artery infusion of mitomycin C (MMC) was performed in 14 patients with non-small cell lung cancer (6 patients with adenocarcinoma, 6 patients with squamous cell carcinoma and 2 patients with large cell carcinoma). MMC at a dose of 20 mg was infused into the bronchial artery (total dose 20-60 mg, mean 27 mg). Among the 14 patients, one with adenocarcinoma of the lung showed partial response. The response rate for bronchial artery infusion of MMC was thus 7.1%. The toxic effects included anemia (35.7%), leukopenia (28.6%), thrombopenia (14.3%), elevation of GPT (14.3%), anorexia (14.3%), nausea (7.1%) and eruption (7.1%).

A Phase I study of rHu-TNF (PT-050) was conducted in patients with various malignant tumors refractory to conventional therapy. rHu-TNF was administered by 30-min intravenous (i.v.) infusion or intratumor (i.t.) injection. The starting dose of 1 X 10(5) U/body was increased to 5 X 10(6) U/body in the i.v. group and to 2 X 10(6) U/body in the i.t. group. rHu-TNF was evaluated in 41 patients among the enrolled 43 patients of the i.v. group, and in 9 out of 10 in the i.t. group. In the i.v. group, fever (68.3%), chills (75.6%), hypotension (46.3%), general fatigue (34.1%), nausea/vomiting (22.0%/22.0%), pain in the extremities (17.1%), etc. were observed as adverse reactions (ADRs), and elevation of GOT/GPT (46.3%/43.9%), elevation of ALP(26.8%)and decrease in platelets (12.2%), etc. were observed as abnormal laboratory findings. Among these, hypotension was recognized as the dose-limiting factor and the maximum tolerated dose was considered to be 1 X 10(6) U/body. Plasma levels of rHu-TNF after 30-min i.v. administration were dose-related, and decreased with half-lives of 0.5-2.4 hours. In the i.t. group, ADRs occurred with a lower incidence than in the i.v. group except for fever, chills and general fatigue. Plasma levels after i.t. administration were all within the assay limit. Evident tissue necrosis was observed in the region where rHu-TNF was administered in the i.t. group.

The phase II trial of natural interferon-alpha (HLBI) in treatment of adult T-cell leukemia was carried out as a cooperative study. Of the 24 cases which could be evaluated, 3 cases in crisis type and 5 cases in chronic type with lymphadenopathy and/or skin infiltration achieved PR, giving a response rate of 33.3%. The anti-tumor effect of HLBI for skin lesion could be assessed in 16 cases with skin infiltration, giving a response rate of 50.0% (5 CR and 3 PR) and demonstrating a high efficacy. Of the 31 eligible patients, side effects were recognised in 27 (87.1%). Major subjective and objective symptoms were fever (38.7%), fatigue (25.8%), anorexia (12.9%) and nausea (12.9%), and leukopenia (22.6%), granulocytopenia (38.7%), thrombocytopenia (38.7), elevation of GPT (12.9%) and GOT (12.9%) were observed.

The pharmacology, pharmacokinetics, clinical efficacy, adverse effects, and dosage and administration of omeprazole are reviewed. Omeprazole, a substituted benzimidazole, has a unique site and mechanism of action because it inhibits the proton pump--i.e., hydrogen, potassium adenosine triphosphatase (H+,K+-ATPase)--and consequently blocks the final common step in the gastric acid secretory pathway. Omeprazole inhibits basal and histamine-, gastrin- and pentagastrin-stimulated gastric hydrochloric acid secretion. It produces a dose-dependent reduction in gastric acidity, gastric acid output, and gastric juice volume and has variable effects on pepsin secretion. Omeprazole has no documented effect on esophageal motility or lower esophageal sphincter pressure. Omeprazole is variably absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract, and food appears to decrease the rate, but not the extent, of drug absorption. The drug is approximately 95% bound to plasma proteins and is metabolized to inactive components that are enterohepatically or renally eliminated. Omeprazole is more effective (in most studies) than H2-receptor antagonists in treating duodenal ulcer, at least as effective in treating benign gastric ulcer, and more effective in treating reflux esophagitis. Omeprazole has been used successfully in patients with Zollinger-Ellison syndrome refractory to treatment with H2-receptor antagonists. Gastrointestinal complaints (nausea and diarrhea) are the most commonly reported adverse effects associated with omeprazole therapy. The most frequently reported laboratory abnormality occurring with omeprazole use is elevation of serum aspartate aminotransferase and alanine aminotransferase concentrations. Omeprazole will serve a valuable role in the management of gastrointestinal tract ulcers and hypersecretory conditions.

Flecainide was given to a patient in a dose of 150 mg twice daily to convert a newly developed atrial fibrillation; concomitant therapy was unchanged. After the fourth dose the patient complained of upper abdominal pain and nausea. GOT and GPT, normal at admission to the hospital, became markedly elevated and reached a maximum of 960 IU/I (GOT) and 993 IU/I (GPT) one day later, although the enzymes which indicate cholestasis remained at a normal level or did not increase. On the assumption of a drug-induced allergic reaction, flecainide was withdrawn, after which liver enzymes rapidly returned to control values. Although neither a reexposition with flecainide nor a liver biopsy was obtained, a flecainide-induced hepatitis seems probable.

A 27-year-old gravida 2 was hospitalized in the 37th week of pregnancy because of nausea, vomiting and upper abdominal pain. She had severe thrombocytopenia (600/microliter), haemolysis and markedly abnormal liver functions (bilirubin 7.4 mg/dl, GOT 512, GPT 650 and LDH 1772 U/l), indicating a probably immunologically induced syndrome (HELLP) of late pregnancy. After platelet infusion and antithrombin III substitution a slightly growth-retarded girl was delivered without complications by section because of threatened intrauterine asphyxia while the cervix was undilated. The maternal platelet count and the liver functions quickly returned to normal post-partum.

A phase I study of recombinant human tumor necrosis factor (rHu-TNF:PT-050) given by intravenous infusion over 30 min or by intratumoral administration was performed in 53 patients with various types of malignant tumors. The dose of rHu-TNF was started with 0.1 x 10(6) U/body for both intravenous infusion and intratumoral administration and increased to 5 x 10(6) U/body for intravenous infusion and 2 x 10(6) U/body for intratumoral administration. The side effects of rHu-TNF given by intravenous infusion included fever, shaking chills, hypotension, general malaise, nausea, and vomiting, and clinical laboratory tests showed elevations of GOT, GPT, and ALP, etc. Among these, only hypotension was dose-related and was considered to be a dose-limiting factor. The maximum tolerable dose estimated was 1 x 10(6) U/body. The plasma concentration of rHu-TNF after completion of a 30-min infusion was dose-dependent, and the elimination half-life was 0.5-2.4 hr. When the rHu-TNF was administered intratumorally, the frequency of side effects was low compared with intravenous infusion.

An open clinical study of ofloxacin in respiratory tract infections was conducted with patients receiving daily doses of ofloxacin 300 mg, 400 mg or 600 mg. The duration of treatment was 6 to 14 days for 70% of the patients. Ofloxacin was effective in 668 of 828 patients analysed (80.7%). Of 293 patients with upper respiratory infections, the efficacy rate was 85.3%. In 535 cases with lower respiratory infections, ofloxacin was effective in 78.1%. It is noteworthy that a 70% efficacy rate was obtained in 80 cases with intractable chronic diffuse panbronchiolitis primarily associated with Pseudomonas aeruginosa. There was no difference in the efficacy rate among various daily doses or severity of infections. In lower respiratory infections the bacterial eradication rate was 80.9% for Gram-positive aerobes (including 80% for Staphylococcus aureus and 76.5% for Streptococcus pneumoniae) and 72.1% for Gram-negative aerobes (including 92.6% for Klebsiella pneumoniae, 32.3% for P. aeruginosa and 97.1% for Haemophilus influenzae). Although there were no serious cases, adverse reactions were noted in 46 of 843 patients (5.5%): 38 cases (4.5%) of gastrointestinal tract reactions (nausea, vomiting, heartburn, etc.), 4 cases (0.5%) of hypersensitivity (e.g. eruption) and 19 (2.3%) of central nervous system effects (e.g. dizziness). Abnormal changes in laboratory findings included elevations of AST (1.2%) and ALT (1.5%) and an increase in the eosinophil count (1.7%).
