Antineoplastons A10 and AS2-1, NSCs 648539D and 620261/#2
The antineoplastons have been considered as unconventional manner of cancer treatment because there have been very few independent interpretable scientific data on their potential clinical efficacy
Based on a recent report of observed responses in brain cancer patients treated with antineoplastons at the Burzynski Research Institute (founded by Dr. S.R. Burzynski) in Houston, Texas, the Cancer Therapy Evaluation Program (CTEP) conducted a site visit to review a “best case” series of clinical responses to antineoplastons in the treatment of brain tumors at the Institute
This case series does not constitute a clinical trial; the cases were selected on the basis of positive response from many different studies of antineoplaston treatment at the Institute
The site visit team determined that antitumor activity was documented in this best case series and that the conduct of Phase II trials were indicated to determine the response rate
The antineoplastons were presented as DN Stage IV candidates for the conduct of Phase II trials in glioblastoma multiforme, anaplastic astrocytoma, pediatric brain tumors, and low-grade gliomas, to confirm the observation of brain tumors at the Burzynski Institute
It was proposed that the same treatment regimen as that used at the Institute would be used in the Phase II trials
A decision regarding subsequent trials (e.g., other tumors, additional Phase I development, Phase III trials in brain tumors) would be deferred until the results of these initial trials were known
If the antineoplastons are approved for Phase II study, Dr. Burzynski will provide supplies of the materials for the clinical trials to the NCI free of charge
Dr. Burzynski presented background on antineoplaston research
His research is based on the hypothesis that antineoplastons are components of a biochemical defense system against cancer
The antineoplastons are medium and small peptides and amino acid derivatives that form the defense against cancer by inducing differentiation in neoplastic cells
Initial study on antineoplastons was concentrated on isolation of peptides in blood and urine of healthy people
Pg. 12 (2nd pg.)
Two main groups of antineoplastons have been isolated
Pg. 13 (3rd pg.)

Decision: Antineoplastons A10 (NSC 648539D) and AS2-1 (NSC 620261/#2) passed DN Stage IV
