ClinConnect Summary

Patients with HIV infection have a significant risk of recurrence following local ablation of intraepithelial neoplasia; thus, anogenital epithelial may become an increasingly important cause of morbidity, and possibly mortality, as the HIV epidemic matures. Clinical studies of non-HIV-infected subjects have established that synthetic retinoids inhibit the progression of epithelial preneoplastic conditions and some neoplastic states.

In the Phase I portion of the study, 20 patients per site each receive isotretinoin in escalating doses. If a patient experiences grade 2 or worse toxicity (o...

  • Concurrent Medication:
  • Excluded:
  • G-CSF (filgrastim).

  • G-CSF (filgrastim).
  • Myelosuppressive antibiotics (except co-trimoxazole for PCP prophylaxis).
  • Corticosteroids.
