Inosiplex treatment of acquired immunodeficiencies: a clinical model for effective immunomodulation
Patients with various conditions associated with immunologic deficiency (cancer, radiotherapy, surgery, burns, aging, prodromal Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome, were treated with inosiplex (INPX) at a dose of 3-4 g/day for periods of time ranging from 1 week to several months. Patients were evaluated clinically, and immunologically with the following assays; natural killer (NK) cytotoxicity, T-lymphocyte count, mitogen-induced proliferation, E rosettes, and skin test reactivity. The data resulting from this large and varied population were quite consistent and reproducible, and indicated that INPX treatment was effective in simultaneously reducing the incidence of complications, infections and mortality while enhancing the immune status of the patient. It has therefore been concluded that an immunopharmacologically active agent such as INPX can elicit important clinical benefits in patients with disorders of diverse etiology, perhaps through modulation of an immunologic defect that is common to a variety of seemingly unrelated conditions.
