L
The treatment's toxicity level is rated at 2.5 out of a possible 5. This suggests that the treatment has some side effects, which can include hot flashes, joint pain, nausea, an increased risk of osteoporosis, and fatigue. However, these side effects are typically manageable and are considered moderate in comparison to other treatments. It's important to note that these side effects may not be experienced by everyone and can vary in intensity from person to person. Also, this drug is still in the experimental phase for glioblastoma and is not yet specifically approved for this type of brain cancer. The exact toxicity could change as more research is done. +
M
The treatment, MDNA55, is in its early phase of trials, meaning that its potential side effects are still being evaluated. Currently, it's not fully approved by the FDA and exact toxicity is not specified. However, MDNA55 is designed to target cells common in tumor tissue, creating a high potential for effectiveness with fewer harmful effects on healthy tissue. It has shown significant positive response rates, suggesting a manageable toxicity profile. Nevertheless, every treatment carries some risk, and potential side effects might still be discovered. The toxicity rating of 2.5 out of 5 indicates a moderate risk of toxic side effects at this point in time. +
I
The vaccine has shown a benign safety profile with minimal severe adverse effects, making it a potentially safer alternative or complement to existing GBM treatments. +
S
The vaccine's safety profile is characterized by the absence of severe adverse events, with only mild to moderate reactions observed, making it a potentially safer option for GBM treatment. +
V
VT-122 has a toxicity level of 3 out of 5, This means it has moderate toxicity. Some people experiencing the treatment face significant side effects such as thrombocytopenia (low blood platelet count), neutropenia (low count of a type of white blood cell), and anemia (lower than normal level of red blood cells). This could results in increasing fatigue, bruising and bleeding easily, and being more susceptible to infections. However, the severity of these side effects may vary from person to person +
Valproic Acid/Sodium Valproate (Depakote) is a drug that has been used for epilepsy and is being investigated for the treatment of glioblastoma. It has risks associated with use, including potential liver toxicity, changes in levels of liver enzymes, increased concentration of chemotherapy in the body, plus side effects like sleepiness and constipation. These side effects and risks, while significant, are not the most severe among cancer treatments, thus rating it a 3 out of 5 for toxicity level. +
D
Well-tolerated with very few serious adverse events related to the treatment, including cases of intracranial edema, nausea, and lymph node infection. No evidence of autoimmune reactions or cytokine storm. +
P
While acute radiation-related toxicities were equivalent to conventional radiation therapy, PBT has a higher prevalence of radiation necrosis, indicating a need for careful patient selection and management. +
E
While generally well-tolerated, EGFR inhibitors can cause specific side effects, their severity depending on the drug and individual patient factors. +
H
While hyperthermia can cause discomfort and risk damage to healthy tissues, these effects are generally manageable with precise control and monitoring. +
C
While showing promise in efficacy, the combination treatments involving CPT-11 have been associated with manageable but significant toxicities, including hematologic, gastrointestinal, and hepatic adverse events. +
F
While specific common side effects were not detailed, nitrosoureas typically present with myelosuppression, nausea, and potential for liver enzyme elevation. The toxicity profile necessitates careful monitoring and management, similar to other agents in its class. +
A
While specific side effects are not detailed, similar vaccines have been associated with manageable side effects like flu-like symptoms, suggesting a relatively low toxicity level. +
