Deferoxamine (DFO) is an iron-chelating agent that has been used systemically to treat iron overload conditions and more recently been studied to treat radiation fibrosis. Through iron chelation, DFO stabilizes hypoxia inducible factor-1α, driving downstream upregulation of angiogenic factors, and reduces formation of reactive oxygen species, thereby offering a potential therapy for radiation associated chronic wounds. The purpose of this work was to describe treatment of a refractory wound following radiation treatment that had failed conventional therapy.</p><p><strong>Methods: </strong>The patient is a 71-year-old female with inflammatory breast cancer that developed a radiation related wound after mastectomy, chemotherapy, and radiation therapy. The wound did not show any signs of improvement with five months of wound care and risk factor modification. The patient was offered treatment with a topical Deferoxamine Intradermal Delivery Patch through the FDA single patient investigative new drug pathway.</p><p><strong>Results: </strong>After two weeks of treatment, the wound healed. Additionally, serum was collected at cessation of therapy and 5 weeks after, with both samples showing no significant systemically detectible level of the drug to be present. Subjectively the patient reported improvement in appearance and quality of the skin.</p><p><strong>Conclusion: </strong>Topical deferoxamine is a promising therapy for radiation wounds. Although this report is limited to a single patient experience, we believe this work is important in describing the first in-human use of topical deferoxamine to heal a radiation therapy associated wound.</p>","PeriodicalId":72213,"journal":{"name":"Annals of case reports","volume":"9 3","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11781592/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143069914","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We review the first case of lower back pain due to severe spondylitis (T12-L1) treated with intravenous injections of a sterile fraction of human purified amniotic fluid (ViX001) obtained from thoroughly screened volunteers at the time of planned c-section at the term of normal pregnancies. Then, we review the first case of recalcitrant diabetic ulcer treated successfully by twice-daily applications of ViX001 directly on the wound and describe another case of diabetic ulcer treated successfully with ViX001. Next, we review the treatment of severe burns with direct application of ViX001 on the burns leading to accelerated improvement of the burn lesions. Finally, we review the first treatment of a patient with advanced pyoderma gangrenosum with ViX001, with significant reduction of pain, inflammation, and observation of tissue regeneration. We conclude our review with speculations on the mechanism of action of ViX001, the importance of extracellular vesicles in the amniotic fluid for its biological activity, and the need for expanding our studies to generate a better understanding of the omics signature of this incredibly beneficial material.</p>","PeriodicalId":72213,"journal":{"name":"Annals of case reports","volume":"9 6","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11671134/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142900694","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
