Antineoplastons A10 and AS2-1 in the Treatment of Children with Optic Pathway Glioma: Final Report for Protocol BT-23
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Protocol BT-23, a Phase II study, was performed to determine the efficacy and safety of combination Antineoplaston A10 and Antineoplaston AS2-1 (ANP) in children with an optic pathway glioma (OPG). Sixteen patients (12 males, 4 females) ages 1 to 16 years (median age 4.5 years) were treated. The patients received ANP, by intravenous infusion, six times daily (i.e., every four hours). The length of treatment extended from a minimum of 4.1 weeks to a maximum of 210.0 weeks. The median dosage of A10 was 8.07 g/kg/d while for AS2-1 itwas 0.39 g/kg/d.Patients’ best response to ANP was determined: 12.5% of this patient population achieved a complete response, 18.8% achieved a partial response, and 31.3% maintained stable disease. The median overall survival was 78.5 months (95% CI: 37.6-92.3) while median progression-free survival was 45.4 months (95% CI: 7.1-71.4). ANPwas associated with a12% incidence of Grade 3 and a12% incidence of Grade 4 adverse drug experiences (ADEs). There were no Grade 5 ADEs. Grade 3 ADEs included somnolence and elevated SGOT; Grade 4 ADEsincluded hypernatremia and hypokalemia. Long-term quality of life was excellent with no chronic toxicity identified. Children with an OPG respond very well to ANP with good efficacy and toxicity profiles.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
