Aim of the LIVE-COM study (Long Acting Insulin Glargine versus Insulin Detemir Cost Evaluation Comparison) was to assess resource utilization and costs of diabetes care as well as patient reported outcomes in a random sample of type 2 diabetes patients treated with either insulin glargine (GLA) or detemir (DET) as part of a basal-bolus regimen in a primary care setting.</p><p><strong>Patients and methods: </strong>LIVE-COM is a non-interventional, cross-sectional study performed between April and September 2008 in 138 randomly selected centers of primary care physicians in Germany.

Nine additional enzymes with homology to src have been identified and collectively are referred to as src family kinases (SFKs). SFKs represent the largest family of nonreceptor tyrosine kinases and interact directly with receptor tyrosine kinases, G-protein-coupled receptors, steroid receptors, signal transducers and activators of transcription, and molecules involved in cell adhesion and migration. These interactions lead to a diverse array of biological functions including proliferation, cell growth, differentiation, cell shape, motility, migration, angiogenesis, and survival. Studies investigating mutational activation of src in human cancers suggest that this may be a rare event and that wild-type src is weakly oncogenic. Thus, the role of src in the development and progression of human cancer remains unclear; however, it has been suggested that SFK activity may be linked to cancer progression and metastatic disease by facilitating the action of other signaling proteins. SFKs may therefore represent a promising therapeutic target. As a consequence, src-targeting therapies are a recent development. Although numerous agents have been discovered, few have reached clinical development. Amongst them, dasatinib, bosutinib and saracatinib are already in phase II testing and data from these trials suggest that these agents are well tolerated, however, they possessed little clinical activity as monotherapy. Future clinical development will therefore include trials of combination therapy.</p>","PeriodicalId":18420,"journal":{"name":"Medizinische Klinik","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1007/s00063-010-1123-y","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"29379204","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
