“…Previous studies have shown that the addition of hypoxic modification during radiotherapy results in an increased therapeutic benefit (28). Recently, Arrieta et al (29) investigated in NSCLC patients the use of nitroglycerin (an organic nitrate which causes vasodilatation, increased blow flow and reduces the expression of HIF1-α) in combination with chemo-radiation. In this study promising response rates were observed, however, there was also (mild) increased toxicity (e.g.…”

“…A 25-mg nitroglycerin patch was administered to the patients for 5 days during radiotherapy. Nitroglycerin exhibited an acceptable toxicity profile; 212 larger trials will be required to study its efficacy. RRx-001, a novel, hypomethylating and free-radical-inducing anticancer agent that activates nitrite reduction to NO under hypoxia, is currently in Phase I trials.…”

“…Le GTN semble néan-moins améliorer le pronostic des patients atteints du cancer de la prostate après radiothérapie [39]. D'autres essais cliniques de phase I et II associant le GTN avec de la chimio-radiothérapie concomitante montrent que la combinaison est bien tolérée [42,43].…”
